  1. It would be interesting to have a feature where we could enlarge the sheet we are working on or writing. Often the content is large, for example: mind maps, summaries, planning, action plans, and we are limited to having to break the idea to fit everything.

    If we could enlarge the sheet, fitting more content into it.

  2. When searching in korean, the results are not conveient. For example, when I search the word "굿노트", I expect the pages which include "굿노트". But Goodnote shows me all the pages which have "굿" and "노" and "트" separately. This example is same in English : searching "good", then result is all the pages which have "g", "o", "d". This means Goodnote can't understand Korean words perfectly. So searching function is useless for me when I search in Korean.

  4. the text boxes system is outdated, unconfortable and breaks the "note-taking flow". Add tap & type as, for example, notability, or a similar function.

  5. It was possible in GoodNotes 4 to draw very thin lines, 1 pixel size.
    I often use GoodNotes by beginning to write something on one sheet with the stylus, then select all and reduce the size, then zoom in to write more things on the page.
    On GoodNotes 4 the smallest width (0.5) was the same when reducing.
    On GoodNotes 5, the smallest width is too thick, after reducing the new lines are much more thicker than the reduced ones.
    This was a must for me in GoodNotes 4.
    Please please please :)

  6. 1.In the Zoom Window, eraser, frequently used color, backward, etc. have disappeared. It is annoying because the move is long.

    2.After all, it does not seem to support two page views at a time.

    3.No highlighter in Drawing Shapes. Drawing shape with Highlighters are only linear ...
    At Goodnote 4, i can draw circle, triangle, etc with highlighter.

    4.There is still no changing the template at once ....
    When I write i use grid and i print i with only white page.
    I have to change it every single page.

    5.On the preview page, version 4 shows the current page…

  7. There are multiple features that I used daily from Goodnotes 4 that are non-existent in Goodnotes 5. I know you said that the Airplay display features are coming but since I only used Goodnotes while Airplaying this is a big deal for me.

    Also there is no option for importing/exporting to other cloud based storage (google drive, OneDrive for business, Dropbox). I used these with the automatic backup feature (also non-existent) everyday in my classroom. I am very disappointed with the release of Goodnotes 5 as you said that you took all the great parts of Goodnotes 4 and added…

  8. Every time I erase something with "Erase Highlighter Only" enabled, I get a popup asking if I want to disable the setting. When I hit "ignore," the popup goes away, but then it comes back the next time I erase something! I do, in fact, sometimes want to erase highlighter only. The "ignore" button should prevent the popup from happening at all, maybe until the next time I change the setting

  9. The June 2026 update removed Undo and Redo from the Top Bar of GoodNotes 5 when in split screen. I use Undo constantly when taking notes. The option to customize the toolbar is disabled for me, so I can’t add Undo to the toolbar either.

    Please add Undo back to the top bar when running in split screen, or allow customizing the toolbar so that I can add it there.

  10. I want you to return it so that "Select" and "Select All" can be selected immediately when surrounding the text. It used to be possible, but now it's inconvenient because it can't be done. I look forward to working with you.

  11. Goodnotes for Academic Papers!
    I know a lot of researches who use Goodnotes for Papers these features would improve the experience immensely:
    - different identifier fields, not just title but Author(s), year, category
    - Endnote Plugin
    -Research rabbit plugin
    -ArXiv plugin

    And I said it before:
    I need to be able to search in a folder not search everything, everywhere, all at once

  13. I would like to justify my text so that everything is aligned please - to make proper revision notes and documents!!

  14. It would be amazing to be able to drag and drop our own Goodnotes text documents directly into our notebooks to embed them as a live, linked file.

    When organizing materials, it is much cleaner and more comfortable to paste external texts, update definitions, and format paragraphs inside a dedicated text file rather than directly in a standard notebook. However, when it comes to studying, we absolutely need the notebook environment to highlight, draw arrows, and write handwritten annotations.

    Currently, if we update the source text, we are forced to re-import it, which destroys all our manual highlighting and notes.…

  15. It is very frustrating when I want to see the page as a whole by zooming out, but then the page automatically snaps to the edge of the screen (or on top against the toolbar). I want to just see a small buffer space to help visualize each edge of the page. It’s not ideal that I have to add a page above to try and see a full page with its edges. I want to see it as a page view, not pageless.

  16. How about you stop changing the layout/form or how thing work. You make it impossible for me. Always changing how tu bullet points are laced out, the padding, saving the default text. Now half my notes are laced out differently and worse form the other half. Genuinely inconsiderate. Making so many unnecessary changes.

  19. 現在、画像の細かい部分に文字や注釈を書き込む際、画面全体を大きく拡大する必要があり、小さい画像の場合は特に書き込みづらく感じています。

    可能であれば、画像をタッチすると画像自体が拡大表示され、その拡大された状態で直接注釈を書き込める機能を追加していただきたいです。

    また、画像に書き込んだ文字や注釈が画像と一体化し、画像を移動・拡大・縮小した際にも、注釈が一緒に追従する仕様になると非常に助かります。

    現在の仕様では、画像に注釈を書き込んだあとに画像を操作すると、注釈が画像とは別のオブジェクトとして扱われ、画像の背面に回ってしまうことがあり、少し使いづらく感じています。

    画像と注釈をまとめて扱えるようになると、資料作成や画像へのメモ書きがより快適になると思います。

    今後のアップデートでご検討いただけますと幸いです。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

  20. Handwriting recognition function is quite important and attractive for new users, However, the app can't really recognise my Chinese handwriting even though I write in a relatively clear way. Please imporve your recognition features for Chinese as well as other languages
