1. Writing Tools in Main Toolbar

   Thank you for improving the toolbar customisation with your latest updates to version 7.0.15.
   However, it would be very helpful, if it would be possible to have the writing tools also integrated in the main toolbar. I use the laser, the fountain pen, the highlighter and the eraser for presenting slides in my lectures. I have to switch very often between the writing tool and the laser during the lecture and with the current setup, there is always an extra click, when I want to switch between the laser and a writing tool, since I have to open first the writing toolbar and then select the right writing element. It would be much easier, if the writing tools would be integrated in the main toolbar. Alternatively, it would be helpful, if the laser could be integrated in the writing toolbar.

2. Feature request: Inline LaTeX support for typed text in GoodNotes

   Hi GoodNotes team,

   I’m a heavy GoodNotes user on [iPad / Mac / iPhone] and I absolutely love using the app for studying and taking math/technical notes.

   I’ve noticed that GoodNotes currently doesn’t support inline LaTeX rendering in regular typed text (for example, writing $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ in a text box and having it render as nicely formatted math). I know you have great math / equation tools, but those generate separate equation objects rather than letting us mix math and normal text seamlessly in the same paragraph.

   For students and professionals in math, statistics, physics, engineering, and economics, having inline LaTeX in text boxes would be incredibly powerful. It would make it much easier to:
   • Write derivations and explanations with equations inside full sentences
   • Prepare more polished lecture notes and study guides
   • Keep math and regular text in a single, clean, editable text block instead of juggling multiple separate objects

   If possible, something like support for $...$ / $$...$$ syntax or a LaTeX mode for text boxes would solve this perfectly.

   Thank you for considering this and for all the work you’re already doing on GoodNotes. It’s a big part of my daily workflow, and inline LaTeX support would make it close to perfect for technical note-taking.

   Cordially,
   A GoodNotes User and Student

3. Highlighter Grouping

   I often use different sets of highlighting colors depending on what I’m working on. It would be very helpful if Goodnotes allowed users to create and save groups (or palettes) of highlight colors. That way, I wouldn’t need to manually change the highlight colors each time I switch tasks or subjects.

4. Restore font size and style adjustment in full-page text mode

   Hello GoodNotes Team,

   I’ve recently noticed that in the latest version of GoodNotes for iPad or Iphone, the “full-page text input” mode no longer provides an option to change the font size and style.

   In previous versions, users were able to freely edit both the font size and font style while using full-page text mode. This was especially useful for multilingual users like me who often type in Chinese and Japanese — since these languages have different character heights, being able to adjust the font size ensures that the text aligns properly within each line.

   In the current version, however, the font size and positioning appear inconsistent when switching between these languages, and without the ability to modify the text style or size, it’s quite difficult to make the layout clean and readable.

   It would be greatly appreciated if you could bring back or add the option to edit font size and style in full-page text input mode. The attached 3 pictures are the example how the fonts are not aligned and how do I make them aligned within each line in the previous version of goodnote6 (6.7.2 (3291127.89652630))

   Thank you for your consideration and for continuously improving GoodNotes!

5. Disable off device AI

   Please add a way to disable off device AI. Helps for knowing that data is secured and never sent off device to an unknown service. This would be helpful on a folder or document level. Some folks may have info is too sensitive to risk being scanned by any ai.

6. Fully fledged Math integration

   Now that graphs are an option, I would like to see this being improved and features being added. I use GoodNotes for maths a lot and I would want to add two graphs in one graph view, set an interval to a graph, recolor the graphs, display intersections with other graphs or the x-axis, support for calculus and equation solving algorithms to find parameters for a polynomial, for instance. That would be beneficial.

7. Make the voice imported or exported within the file or alone

   My idea is make the voice imported from voice memo or export it alone or within the file itself ( as in the pdf expert and document app ) as shown in the photo below

   Please voice this as it is crucial for every persone to save there files for the future

10. Laser

    Since the recent update, the laser got to make layers by each stroke. But it’s very inconvenient when I am writing letters, as the previous stroke shows up darker and the handwriting gets so messy.. please change it back so it can be used with one layer.

11. Shape editing was better in Goodnotes 6

    I regularly use the shape to draw curved lines and then edit their shape to create larger, more complex shapes. Currently, that‘s next to impossible:
    - Editing points don‘t scale with zooming; especially when editing small lines, the points now cover up the lines entirely.
    - These lines are often glitched out and turn invisible while editing, especially when multiple lines are connected together.
    - After editing a line, Goodnotes automatically selects the lasso tool instead of the pen, making the drawing process very tedious.

    None of these issues occured with Goodnotes 6, I hope these issues are fixed with the announced update.

12. less submenus

    Many functions you have placed in submenus could easily fit into their respective window headers, toolbars etc. - thereby becoming more obvious and faster/easier to access.
    examples:

    1) The filter for bookmarked pages in the page browser is now the single item in a submenu. Unnecessary - there is easily enough room for 4 tabs - even when viewed as sidebar and in portrait orientation. img_0387

    2) Select pages and sidebar/popup toggle hide behind a 3 dots menu in the page browser. Why? There is enough room there to show these directly. Esp. if you implement the toggle as one button that changes it‘s icon accordingly. img_0385

    3) The auto advance setting for the writing zoom window ist hidden 2 levels deep in the document settings. This setting is very situational (columns, tables, equations vs plain text) and has to be easily accessible - either directly in the zoom window toolbar or at the very least in the 3dots submenu that‘s already there and has only 2 entries! img_0386

    4) In the document browser the „select items“ button is again hidden in a submenu, and even worse in one that is meant for viewing and sorting options. This needs to become top lvl accessible.
    Also atm this menu bar scrolls out of view. It should stay on top/visible when scrolling down. It is absolutely aggravating to have to scroll all the way up to the top and then down again just to select documents that are further down. img_0388

    5) Also in the document bowser: the filtering to show „documents only“, „folders only“ , and „all“ is clearly a viewing option. I think we don’t need a second submenu for this in the same menu bar. Why not place this as an additional options group in the other viewing submenu (with the grid icon) and place this icon on the left instead. ( Where the viewing/filtering options for pages in the page browser of the document editor are situated as well) img_0388

    I love that you steadily move to icon based menus. For me as a daily user this is faster, easier to grasp at a glance and screen space saving. Thank you for reworking this whole ui und steadily improving still.

13. Integration of numbers/excel table with goodnotes

    I think it would be an excellent feature to have a seamless integration of numbers or excel with Goodnotes. Basically the idea would be to connect a spreadsheet with your notes in order to be able to insert Numbers' or Excel's tables and plots that can be dynamically updated every time you modify the spreadsheet.

14. Save Whiteboard background

    I'd like to be able to change my default Whiteboard background from Dot Grid & White.

    Could be done by:

    • Saving the last background used
    • Manually saving in the Whiteboard creation screen

    This would be very helpful!

15. Folder overview / hierarchy (like Noteful, Onenote etc.) PLEASE

    There’s one thing that really limits my productivity: the folder navigation. It’s currently very time-consuming and confusing to navigate between nested folders or PDFs.

    You always have to click multiple times to move between documents if they are stored in different subfolders. This becomes extremely inefficient, especially when managing complex hierarchies (like for studies or work).

    Please take a look at Noteful or OneNote — they have an excellent folder overview / hierarchy structure that shows all folders and subfolders clearly on one screen (like a sidebar or tab structure).
    That way, users can easily switch between documents without losing time or overview.

    Two reviews from other users describe it perfectly:

    “It’s very annoying that you need to click so many times to go to another PDF you saved in another file since you have multiple hierarchies. Please do it similar to OneNote!!!!!”
    “It would be very practical and helpful for students and teachers if the folder structure were structured like a kind of TAB structure (similar to the pages in GoodNotes), so one would have a better overview.”

    I’ve also attached two images that visualize exactly what I mean — how other apps handle folder hierarchies in a much clearer and faster way.

    Please consider this seriously — it’s really a deal breaker for me right now because navigation in complex folder setups takes way too long and breaks my workflow.

    Thank you very much for considering this improvement 🙏

16. Merge the two UI bars at the top back to one

    All the new split does for me is to take space away from my screen to read or write on. Also the second bar being loose/movable and black in contrast to the white page is distracting me.

17. Broken “Report an Issue” button in the app

    The “Report an Issue” button in the app is broken. All the other buttons to external links work, but instead I had to search for a separate feedback tool online. Very inconvenient and not at all easy site to find. And I had to make a new account.

    But of course the “Rate on App Store” button works perfectly.

18. Unclutter the whitespace!

    I do a lot of screen recordings for my math classes and your new toolbar and permanently floating undo buttons eat up canvas space. Let me at least choose a different layout where the drawing surface is completely free of anything other than... drawing space.

19. Opacity for the pencil tool

    The base opacity of the pencil was changed with a recent update and it’s too light to be used normally now. Add a way to change the opacity so I can make it darker than is currently allowed so I can actually see what I’m writing.

20. Let users remove all AI bloat from app

    I am not going to pretend that NOBODY uses Goodnotes AI but lets be real here, you guys must read what people say online, it is NOT as popular as the updates and focus on AI would make you believe.

    But just because its trendy and a fraction of people use it, the rest of us are forced to have this stuff taking up spaces and hogging resources when it provides us with no use whatsoever.

    In an ideal world you would have classic Goodnotes being worked on and improved consistently and then a separate Goodnotes AI app for the folks that want to use that stuff.

    Either way, you guys must be aware of how much people resent you spending so much time on AI junk. Please reconsider or at least give us options!
