Scribbling out of a hand written word or line erases that word.
Sometimes when I make a mistake while hand writing in good notes I just scribble the word out then have to erase it later. Some sort of feature that recognizes I scribbled out a word and then erases it would be superb.

Real-time handwriting beautification (Apple Pencil)
I’d love a feature that automatically refines handwriting to a font or refining my actual handwriting in real time while writing, similar to Freenotes.
I would like to:
- Smooth and standardize strokes live
- Keep the user’s handwriting style OR apply a font
- Improve legibility and aesthetics instantly
Use case:
- Annotating PDFs where neatness matters
- Taking notes that look polished without rewriting
- Digital planning
Why it matters:
Currently, GoodNotes requires manual conversion or editing. A real-time system would:- Save time
- Improve visual quality
- Compete with newer apps offering live handwriting refinement
Optional features:
- Toggle on/off
- Adjustable “cleanliness” level
- Style presets (natural…

GoodNotes 6 did this better. Bring those text features back.
I’m glad to see that some parts of the app have improved with the latest update. However, the text editing experience is still much less convenient compared to GoodNotes 6.
Why did you add the unnecessary “Modern, Classic, Technical” text panel in the text box? Please replace it with the “Recently Used Fonts” feature like in GoodNotes 6. Many users frequently switch between multiple fonts, so removing that feature truly makes no sense.
Also, I really hope you bring back the option to keep the font, size, and text settings fixed at the top like in GoodNotes 6. Something that…

[Tape] Erase Writing on Tape Without Erasing Underlying Content
The new tape feature is great, however I would like to be able to write over it to see if my answers match. I know it is possible to write on tape but it’s impossible to erase it without erasing notes underneath. Please make it so that I can erase text that is only above the tape.

pen smooth streamline procreate stabilization
pen smooth streamline procreate stabilization .
There are a pages and pages of people requesting this as an improvement. They are scattered into many posts, but they are all trying to say the same thing!!
The problem is, people aren't sure how to describe what they are looking for. It took me a while to discover they are called streamline and stabilization... and I have Procreate. Most people are typing in web searches like 'how can I make my writing smoother' or 'better handwriting with pen'. This feature is what they are looking for. It is too bad that it…

Columns in typing mode
I am loving the new typing mode, but an important limitation is it does not currently support writing test in at least two columns (even in the default two- and three-column templates).
Furthermore, the potential workaround of "manually" making columns by tabulating the gap between the desired columns in each line does not work either: after a couple of tabs, the cursor immediately moves down to the next line.
This would be especially useful for e.g. typing vocabulary lists in two languages (one per column) or making long lists with short entries more compact (in terms of numbers of pages).

More settings for new feature of typing mode
I suggest you to absolutely add more settings for the new feature of typing mode, which allows users to write with pen and keyboard in the same page and in a better way.
But I think you should allow users to change font, space between lines, change font dimension, ecc., just like is already possible in text box!.Please do it for us, I think it will be great making your app more and more complete and competitive, without doubt.

bring old pen size curser on toolbar back
After the new update, we got the option to have more than 3 colours in our tool bar, but we lost the quick access to pen size curser because of that.
Definitely a downgrade.
Having to click on the little icon to change the size is so annoying and time consuming.
So please bring the old version back, where we can have our 3 pen sizes directly onto our toolbar.23 votes -
Flashcards from notes directly
Since it takes a lot of time to write flashcards by hand, it would be amazing to have a feature to create flashcards from the notes directly.
GoodNotes already possesses the ability to recognize the written text. It would be great to add the option to create flashcards by "highlighting"/marking the text you want to create a flashcard with and the app creates the flashcard automatically.
I feel like this would help a lot of students who have to read a lot so they can save time in making flashcards.23 votes -
Add fill in for highlighter
Please add a fill in for highlighters. It will be helpful for people who use highlighters for planners to mark timings.
When I draw a rectangle using the highlighter, hope that it could fill the inside as well

Video and Audio Recording
I wish your app could allow Video and Audio Recording and producing nice tutoring videos similar to what possible in Doceri.
Your app is much more user-friendly and performs way better than Doceri in any aspect, but unfortunately, it misses that feature.23 votes -
Flashcard improvements
The following improvements would be great :)
- A display at the query when the flashcard will be queried again under the classification "Good" "Hard" "Easy" ( depending on the classified learning level for example: Hard= will be asked in two days, good= in four days)
- Display how many flashcards are requested
- Display how many flashcards have been queried
- Display at the end how well the individual flashcards were answered23 votes -
resize
Please make corner focused resizing to be an option for pictures and shapes. Resizing them to fit exactly in what I want is a nightmare because it is center focused, and the entire pic/shape changes.

Small, movable toolbar
Either a second toolbar like the existing one (but much smaller, less tools, and movable on the entire display) or a movable „tool-point“ which opens some customized tools.

Schedule automatic backup or offer cooldown period
The current automatic backup attempts to backup your files after every edit and thus (based on my settings) attempts to render to pdf after every single edit. This constant rendering and uploading rapidly drains the iPad battery to the point where I lose about 20-30% per hour of use and as a side effect makes the device very hot and uncomfortable to use.
Instead, it would be good to have an option to either schedule a backup (i.e. once an hour, once a day, etc) or have a cooldown option where a document won't be backed up until say 5…

different scrolling directions for different notes
It will be great if we can customize different scrolling directions for different documents rather than the same for all documents. Since some documents may have a better view in vertical scrolling some may be more convenient in horizontal scrolling.

Custom Colours Shared Between Text and Pen
Currently, the only way to have custom colours that are the same in text and drawing tools is to manually duplicate the hex code for each colour from the drawing tool palette to the text tool palette and vice versa. I do a lot of colour-coding in my notes, and use both text and writing; an option for a shared custom colour palette between text and drawing would be wonderful, and save a LOT of time.

Grouping of outlines/ bookmarks
I would like to use GoodNotes as my bullet journal but sometimes it can still be a bit tedious (maybe it’s just mentally lol) and I wish that we can actually group outlines together.
So for example I can create bookmarks for “Quotes (life)” and “Quotes (friendship)” then I can group them together as “Quotes”, instead of having to scroll through the lists to find each quote page separately.

Hand writing recording
It is important to record hand written notes and the order the where taken in. For example when writing math notes, you can be working on a problem and write all around it with note or cross something due to elimination process of the problem. When reviewing the notes later on it can easily be confusing when the original problem has been marked up. That’s where stroke recording can come in handy. You can watch your process replay in front of you and see your own problem solving process. This is very important especially for students and STEM field workers
