  1. After updating to GN6 the input keep reverting back to the lasso tool. If im typing in a box and happen to tap out side the box it automatically reverts to lasso. And i have to go back and tap on the text option to start typing again.

  2. Until now i have been paying per the yearly plan, because i wasn‘t sure if i would be continuing my use of the app. Now i would like to change to the one time payment option, but i do not know where i could switch. Under payment methods in the apple store they just show me the yearly payment plans.

  4. In the current beta, the ability to type text directly into classic notebooks (e.g., DIN A4) has been removed. Instead, text can now only be added via individual text boxes. At the same time, you introduced the new “Text Documents” – a fantastic feature that I find very well implemented.

    However, the current setup lacks the flexibility to combine both writing methods within a notebook. Many users – myself included – like to work in a way where we write with the stylus on one page, type on the next A4 page, and then switch back to handwriting again. This…

  5. Der reine Tastaturmodus verschwindet in der Beta. Das ist schade weil die Mischung aus Tippen und schreiben immer sehr gut war. Den kann man drin lassen. Außerdem kann dieser Verbessert werden das er zum Beispiel mehr so ist wie Word

  7. Make the writing in pictures permanent, and move with the pictures if I rearrange them. It is very frustrating trying to use this feature when every little thing, moves what I have written to the background or simply moves it to another part of the picture/page where I do not want it.

    I literally only use Notability for this feature since they do not have this problem, and I wish to finally switch completely to Goodnotes!

  8. please add support for e-ink tablets - particulary boox, the highly popular boox air 4c doesnt seem to support it even though its android. Just says not supported by browser.. these e-ink tablets are really popular. I bought a subscription to goodnotes as i assumed it would run on android.. it will on a basic android tablet but not on these e-ink android-based ones like boox.

  9. It would be great if transcriptions could be in "tabs" that you can extend and collapse. I've noticed that when I make multiple transcriptions in a notebook they all tend to get mixed into one large transcription. It would be great if they could be kept seperate and if we could copy the whole transcription of a single section/tab rather than everything that has been transcribed in the notebook.

    Hope that makes sense!

  11. I really enjoy using Goodnotes.
    Currently, when handwriting is converted to text, the placement and size often do not align correctly with PDF templates, requiring manual adjustment.
    If you could add an auto-adjust feature—similar to PDF forms—that automatically fits text size and position to the lines, it would greatly improve usability.

  13. When auto-deselect is on, the eraser does not work. At first the erased part disappeares, only to reappear when the pencil is lifted off the IPad.
    When auto deselect is enabled, the eraser works perfectly fine, however it’s right much of a trouble to select a new tool, everytime one does a small mistake.

  14. I would like to be able to add annotations to slides that only I (the presenter) can see on the iPad, while the audience sees a clean version without these annotations. This would allow functionality similar to the "presenter notes" function in powerpoint, but it would be better because the notes/annotations could be placed beside or layered over the related text/objects seen by the audience.

    I could use this to remind myself to discuss aspects of the slide in a particular order or add a reminder in the margin to make an important point or draw an arrow to remind…

  15. I really like the feature of being able to have as many colors as you want at a time, and being able to add or remove more colors. I would really love if this would also work for pen sizes! I use Goodnotes to take notes for class, and having handwriting sizes for heading, subheading, main bulk of notes, AND smaller details at once would be amazing without having to constantly go in and change the sizes of the pens. Even just a spot for recently used sizes would be amazing.

  16. As in one-note canvas, present thickness of the pen remains same irrespective of how much we zoom, it would be great if in upcoming whiteboard feature this issue is resolved….after zooming thickness of the pen also increases is so annoying, please consider this issue…please see attachment image below

  18. Integrating Apple Intelligence alongside GoodNotes’ own AI features would enhance productivity and create a seamless workflow for users. While GoodNotes offers rewriting and correction tools, Apple Intelligence can complement these by providing faster, system-wide text improvements and edits. Users would still value and continue using the paid version, as GoodNotes’ unique AI capabilities and other premium features remain essential, making the app even more compelling overall.

  19. Hello Goodnotes Team,
    First of all, thank you for the amazing app. I use it daily, and it really improves my medicine study routine.
    I’d like to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool:
    When I draw a highlight over text, Goodnotes could automatically detect the height of the text (based on the difference between two points) and adjust the highlighter size to match it.
    This would make the highlighting process much smoother, since I wouldn’t need to manually select the thickness each time. It could work similarly to how text selection already detects line height, but applied to…
