  1. The options for a selection with the lasso tool changed recently and it now adds an extra step when I want to duplicate or change the color of the selection. I’d prefer the way it was previously where duplicate and the color options were quickly accessible.

  2. Request: Please add an option to set a default size for inserted images.
    For example, allow users to define a fixed width (e.g., 300px) for any image inserted, instead of resizing it manually each time.

  3. GoodNotes 開発チーム様

    いつもGoodNotes 6を愛用させていただいております。素晴らしいアプリを開発いただき、誠にありがとうございます。

    本日は、今後の機能改善を期待し、一点ご要望があり連絡いたしました。
    それは、「ページの拡大率をパーセント(%)で表示する機能」を追加していただきたい、というものです。

    現状のGoodNotes 6では、ピンチ操作でページを拡大した際に、その倍率がどのくらいなのかを知る術がありません。
    その結果、ノートを開くたびに拡大率が微妙に異なってしまい、文字の大きさが揃わず、書き込みの体験に一貫性がなくなってしまいます。特に、細かな図や整ったノートを作成しようとする際に、この問題は非常に大きなストレスとなります。

    ズームウィンドウ機能が便利なことは承知しておりますが、ページ全体を直感的に拡大・縮小しながら書き込みたい場面も多くあります。

    他の多くのドローイングアプリやノートアプリでは、拡大率の表示は標準的な機能として搭載されています。ぜひGoodNotesにもこの機能を追加いただき、より快適で質の高いノート作成体験を提供していただけますと幸いです。

    お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、本件につきましてご検討いただけますよう、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。
    今後のさらなるアップデートを心より楽しみにしております。

  5. I’m a frequent user of GoodNotes and truly appreciate the powerful tools your app offers, especially for digital note-taking. However, I wanted to provide feedback about a frustrating issue I experience regularly when using the Apple Pencil’s Scribble feature to input text into text boxes.

    Currently, when I use Scribble to convert my handwriting into typed text, the capitalization (uppercase vs. lowercase letters) often does not match what I originally wrote. This forces me to go back and manually edit each letter to correct capitalization, which disrupts my workflow and takes up unnecessary time.

    It would be incredibly helpful if…

  6. have our 4 favorite pen colors then next to it have a drop-down arrow (just like the arrow for hidden tools) with the rest of our color palettes. That way we won’t have to constantly scroll back and forth to change our stroke settings and so we won’t have limited colors options / only 12 of our favorite pen colors

  7. I’m a high school teacher, and I rely on GoodNotes for all my classes. It’s been an essential part of my teaching. I’d like to request a feature that would make presentations and lectures even more effective.

    What I’d love to see is a “Presenter-Only Pen” feature.

    Here’s the idea:
    When preparing class materials in advance, I often want to write down talking points, hints, or solutions on the slides. However, I don’t want my students to see those notes during the presentation. It would be incredibly helpful if I could write notes that are only visible to me as…

  8. There is a very bad lag on good notes. I copy and pasted text and when I clicked on it, the text disappeared. Also, I don’t like that it fills in words for me because I’m typing the word and then it looks like this- Virusirus. It’s very frustrating.

  9. Hi GoodNotes Team,

    I’d like to suggest a few improvements for the pencil tool:
    1. Stroke darkness:
    The pencil looks too light even with normal pressure. It would be helpful to have an option to adjust the stroke darkness or opacity.
    2. Tilt sensitivity:
    The writing changes too much depending on the Apple Pencil’s angle. It would be great to allow users to adjust tilt sensitivity to fit their writing style.

    Thanks.

  10. I want to be able to quickly take screenshots of portions of my lecture slides, copy them, and paste them elsewhere. Currently, the screenshot function takes 4 clicks: Lasso->screenshot->share->copy. It would be a lot easier if there was a way to Lasso a portion of the slide I want copied, and in one click copy ALL the contents of the lasso -- INCLUDING the slide itself, NOT JUST DRAWINGS/IMAGES/ETC.

  12. It would be great if it were possible to change the spacing or the size of the lines, grid, etc., since the default one is very large and makes it hard to keep notes neat. This option would really improve the experience, as sometimes the default templates make the notes too big and uncomfortable to use.

  14. As of now, if I want to edit the style of multiple textboxes (such as the box border color/width and background), I can only edit the color of the text when using the lasso tool and then selecting “style”. I like to use textboxes to make color coded labels, but without the ability to mass edit, I have to change the color of the textbox manually before saving to elements. Adding textbox edit options in the “style” option would be helpful, and adding the ability to save my own textbox presets would be nice as well.

  15. It is inconvenient to have to erase each page one by one when deleting them. I want to be able to erase all the pages I want at once. Please allow me to erase them by selecting the pages I want to in the edit and pressing Erase Page.

  17. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing persistent issues with palm rejection while using a 3rd party stylus on Goodnotes, and I wanted to bring this to your attention.

    While writing with my palm resting on the screen, unintended actions frequently occur — the floating menu (cut, copy, paste, etc.) often pops up, and in some cases, it even selects underlying text or content where my palm touches. This leads to the stroke I was making getting disrupted or vanishing altogether.

    This not only causes missing portions in my writing but also severely hampers the flow and accuracy of note-taking, which…

  18. I would like to suggest a feature that would improve visibility and clarity during writing sessions, especially when using screen-sharing or presenting.

    While in Pen Mode, it would be extremely helpful to have an optional highlighted circle or pointer around the pen tip as I write. This would act like a visual guide, making it easier for others to follow the writing in real time, and for the writer to keep track of the precise pen location, especially on larger screens or when using a stylus.

    This feature would be similar to a cursor highlight or visual pointer found in…
