1. Opaque Option for Highlighter

   Can be used to cover portions of images such as screenshots. White would be the most useful.

2. A Laserpointer tool would be great for teachers!

   Like in Apples Keynote App, when connected to a beamer I have the posibiltiy to make annotations for the current slice. There are different colored pens and a kind of Laserpointer tool (a glowing red dot or so). This is great for demonstrating things, whithout manipulating the current slice.

   Same would be great for GoodNotes - as a teacher I use GoodNotes as a Replacement for the traditional board. At the moment I do a workaround by undoing the pencil strokes I made for showing things on the current sheet.

4. bring back continuous text box and allowing use to set to specifc font color

   New update removed ability to stay on typing function and will revert back to Lasso. This is so annoying. Also bring back allowing the user to choose their default font color. My school uses dark colored ppts and when typing the auto selected black font makes it impossible to keep up with note taking as i constantly must highlight the text and change it to white font.

6. Window and GoodNotes (Apple) Integration

   On Windows 11, the GoodNotes app doesn't work as well as I would like.
   The documents written in GoodNotes doesn't sync onto the Windows 11 app. Instead, I have to share them VIA a link and access them that way. I also use gDrive to sync my GoodNotes, but the UI of viewing GoodNotes files on gDrive is just ... ugly... Would much rather prefer to use GoodNotes on Windows 11 and my iPad.

7. Bring back the ball point pen

   I hate using the fountain pen because I want all my writing to look consistent. The fountain pen has places where it's thicker and places where it's thinner and it drives me crazy. The ball point pen was way better because it was consistent. Bring it back!

8. Audio recordings improvement for new Update

   The new update is not user-friendly at all. The toolbar is difficult to use, and this is especially evident in the audio recording feature. When you start recording, a separate window appears outside the toolbar, taking up screen space and getting in the way. In the previous version, recording was indicated only by a small discreet icon in the toolbar, so writing wasn’t interrupted.
   In addition, when you play back the recording, every time you want to stop it and play it again, another unnecessary panel pops up on the left side of the screen, making the process time-consuming.

   Overall, I’m really disappointed with the new update—to the point that I’m considering switching apps, even though I’ve been using this one daily for two years.

9. Sync between iOS and Windows/Android

   I am a user who subscribed to the Goodnotes Essential plan a few days ago. I was looking into why my Goodnotes library won't sync between Windows and iOS, and I found the following text:

   'If you purchased this plan before September 23, 2025, you are eligible for Goodnotes Cloud. If you purchased this plan after September 23, 2025, you will need to upgrade to the Goodnotes Pro plan to use Goodnotes Cloud.'

   When will cross-platform sync be supported for the Essential plan? I subscribed to this plan because the pricing clearly indicated that the Essential plan also supports cross-platform sync, so I am confused that the sync is not working.

10. The new unified writing tool is very inconvenient

    Hi, I’d like to share some feedback about the new “Unified Drawing Tool.”

    I use GoodNotes professionally as a teacher — during presentations, I do live-style writing and drawing on the screen.
    In my workflow, I switch very frequently between the pointer, pen, highlighter, eraser, and lasso selection.

    After the recent update, all the writing tools are grouped under one button, making it much slower to switch tools and really interrupting my work.
    For me, it’s essential to have my writing tools on the same toolbar level as the pointer and lasso.

    Please make this customizable again, or at least bring back the previous toolbar option.
    The extra step to open the grouped menu may seem small, but it adds up and causes real disruption when teaching live.

    I read that customization might be added in a future update, but I really hope this can be prioritized — the current design is a serious downgrade for anyone using GoodNotes in professional or teaching contexts.

11. Different Interface and tools

    The new update is terrible, the toolbar I don't mind very much (annoying but I can live) but the shape features are absolutely terrible. Before the new update I could make circles at an angle and trapezoids to my liking, and perfect right angles (stem major so every important) and now the only thing I can draw are ovals straight across, I cant even make a trapezoid, when I use the hold feature to draw a right angle it doesn't come out a perfect right angle it is always slightly off, and when I use the shape feature to make a right angle it always comes out as a curve instead as a corner and you cant change it!!!

    Ways to fix this:

    -for the circles let us draw a circle and then bring up one of the little rotation toggle to rotate shapes

    -make the hold to snap for angles a right angle not slightly off

    -make the shape tool snap to whatever shape you initially drew then bring up an option (when you tap on the shape) to turn it into a rectangle so that we are able to keep whatever shape we wanted initially

    -for the line feature of the shape tool make it so that if you tap on the line feature there is a drop down box and in the drop down box there is an option of "sharp angles" or "natural angles"

12. Line

    With the new update, it seems that the it is difficult to draw normal straight lines with the draw and hold. Now, it draws a bit of a straight line and then starts another line. Before, I could draw a line and adjust the end point. Now it seems that it just starts an alternate line. Additionally, if line is too short, it makes a twisted circle shape…

13. Fixing the pen and highlighter straight line/zoom window.

    I am a great fan of this app, however since the new update (version 7.0.4), I've noticed that the pen and highlighter snap to straight lines/shapes feature has been substantially less accurate/sensitive which makes drawing graphs and models incredibly difficult as it will merge many of my 'corners' into a single line. I draw tables with the highlighter tool but dislike how separate strokes will be darker where overlapped, so being able to draw a graph in a single stroke requires the sensitivity and accuracy from before the update. Currently, it doesn't matter how many 'corners' I draw with the highlighter as whenever it snaps into straight lines, it will miss out the majority of lines I actually drew and I hence cannot create my tables anymore.

    Even before the update it was tedious to make tables with one highlighter stroke, but possible. Now, my single sharp-cornered strokes typically snap into a single shape or a stroke that is missing the majority of 'corners' I need to make the tables.

    With the pen tool, if you have a solid straight line already drawn and want to connect a dashed or dotted line to the end of the first line, it will turn the entire shape/collection of lines into a dashed or dotted pen, which is also really irritating when I need different types of lines to differentiate my work. I suggest reverting the way the pen and highlighter tool functions back to before this update.

    I would also like the opportunity to edit the blue toolbar such that I can access the zoom window without having to enter a separate drop down menu (like before the update) as it would allow me to have quicker access between writing and the use of the lasso tool.

    I have included pictures to illustrate these issues from update 7.0.4. and would really appreciate if this could be implemented as it does deter me from using the app from frustration. It is starting to also impact my education in that I am unable to study at my most efficient capacity and unable to illustrate what I am studying and researching in a comfortable and efficient due to the new incapabilities.

    Please feel free to contact me should you want more information/feedback.

    Best,
    Previously happy, but currently appreciative but less content customer and supporter of this business.

14. Add automatic handwriting refinement, like in the Apple Notes app.

    I think it would be a great addition to include an option for automatic handwriting refinement, similar to the feature in Apple Notes. You can see how it works in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ciw74AVIUpY

16. insert Audio Record into Note

    GoodNotes is great, and I really like the audio recording feature. However, right now, recordings are only displayed as a list within the note, and their names are set by default and cannot be customized. This makes it hard to associate specific recordings with the content of the notes. My lecture notes are often very long (over 300 pages), and after some time, I have no idea which recording corresponds to which section of the notes. I hope GoodNotes can support a feature where a recording can be dragged or inserted directly into the document and displayed as an icon or marker within the page. By clicking this icon, the corresponding recording would play.

17. Implement Apple's Stroke Prediction for Best Pencil Latency

    Owning an iPad Pro with an OLED screen with fantastic pixel response, I can't but go back to Apple Notes to enjoy the note taking experience with almost no perceivable latency and instant real-life note taking experience.

    Unfortunately GoodNotes 6 has a noticeable latency that can be eliminated if the team can implement the same algorithms used in Apple Notes app.

    To repreduce this you can draw a straight line on a blank page from the bottom of the iPad to the top, you'll see a gap on GoodNotes 6 between the tip of the pencil and the line as you're drawing it. There's no gap seen when done on the Notes app.

    GoodNotes team, please allow stroke prediction toggle or whatever improved PencilKit magic that Apple is using in their OS. Thanks!

18. Tape removal

    Currently, when I use the tape feature to cover text or images in my documents, I must manually remove the tape on each page if I want to export a PDF without those overlays. This process can be time-consuming, especially for larger documents.

    Would it be possible to add an option to export a PDF document without the tape annotations? An export setting that automatically removes or hides all tape elements would greatly streamline the workflow for users who wish to share clean documents without manually editing each page.
