GoodNotes AI is Unnecessary
The new features feel unnecessary and almost like bloatware. Other LLMs, such as DeepSeek, Gemini, etc are AI tools that other companies, universities, etc have licenses with. The AI credits are also useless - what is the incentive to use GoodNotes AI vs DeepSeek, Gemini, GPT4, etc, if you need to pay $9.99 more per month.
There isn't a way to turn off AI in GoodNotes either, which is pretty frustrating.
A huge motivation for people to switch from Notability to GoodNotes was the better UI and affordability. Paying $9.99/month for AI credits, for a feature I haven't seen many…11 votes -
Back to technical drawing
As an aerospace engineer, it was essential for me to be able to draw curves and lines by connecting points without going crazy. Since the last update, if you connect multiple curved lines, the system interprets this function however it wants and gives it a shape completely different from what I intended. Moreover, if you create simple shapes like circles inside other figures, it’s no longer possible to rotate the entire drawing. Please go back to the old logic — it was 100 times better.

After using lasso tool, put it back to pen tools.
Currently, after using lasso tools, tapping with Apple Pencil will switch back to the eraser forcibly. It is so inconvenient that doesn’t revert to the tools I was using before, like pen or highlighters. Before the updates, it was used as usual. So please.

Make it quicker again
Goodnotes has become more cumbersome and slower with the latest update. I now need two clicks to switch between pens and the laser pointer. When I have images, there is now always a white border at the top of the projection, and I first have to switch to read-only mode to display the image in full screen.
The fold-out toolbox also takes up space on the screen.
Adding to favorites also requires one more click.
The updates have only increased the amount of work involved and represent a deterioration. On the other hand, I don't need AI or sound recordings.…11 votes -
Add layers to pages
Add layers to a page. It would allow users to work on layers above without accidentally moving items that should not move in background. Layers could be turned on/off as needed.

Handwriting Refinement
Apple Notes has a neat feature which organically refines your handwriting. This could be a really great feature to ensure handwriting looks appealing. I believe this could be easily implemented to ensure all writing looks writing!

Stop Highlighter Overlap
If we had brighter highlighters we wouldn't have to overlap them. It also drives me nuts how when highlighting anything handwritten it immediately darkens the colors. Using the lasso tool to "Send Back" the highlighter is a waste of time.
I'm not saying remove the overlap feature all together, but give us the option to toggle it on or off.11 votes -
Shape Library
The existing shape tool uses a "draw and hold" feature to automatically recognize shapes. While useful, this can lead to incorrect shape detection, especially when drawing quickly in time-sensitive environments like college lectures. The tool may select the wrong shape, causing frustration and slowing down workflow.
Implement an option to pre-select specific shapes (e.g., rectangle, circle, arrow, straight line) before drawing, similar to the shape selection tools available in Microsoft OneNote or Word. This would allow users to choose their desired shape in advance and draw it more quickly and accurately without relying on the shape recognition feature.
By giving…

Change color of converted math formula
The experimental math conversion tool for Goodnotes6 is fairly good. It can convert most of 1-liner math handwriting satisfactory!
However, it seems that the color of produced math formula is black only and can't be changed.
Please make it possible to change color of the produced formulas, like other objects such as lines and typed texts. Assuming LaTeX as the conversion backend, it shouldn't be very difficult to make it by inserting a preamble \color{colorname} just before the math script.11 votes -
when typing in double column
When typing in a double column, only the left column is used and the right column cannot be typed. Please improve the left column typing so that the right column typing can also be connected naturally.

Preserve Links when exporting to PDF
The ability to preserve the links that are added to notebooks when exporting to PDF. This would help immensely to continue to be able to navigate the documents with the hyperlinks that were created in the Goodnotes app. Obviously this would only apply to URLs and the links within the same document, not links to other notebooks but it would still be a huge help!

Audio Transcrips
Notability has a feature that creates transcripts from audio recordings and syncs the written notes with the transcript. I believe this feature would be incredibly useful and make Goodnotes more competitive with Notability. PLEASE make this a feature in an upcoming update!!!
