Spline function and connection dots
We need a spline function, it is really hard and long proctor draw a functions, plus with the new update the connection dots are much bigger and can’t even get a good connection between curves, it drives me crazy because I draw a lot of functions

Toolbar Default Pen Setting
"Currently, Goodnotes does not have a specific feature that automatically sets the toolbar to start on the Pen tool when switching between files. The Pen tool is the first tool in the Handwriting Toolbar and can be selected manually, but the app does not remember or default to the Pen tool automatically upon file switching," Goodnotes Support.
It would be great if a toolbar customization update allowed you to make the pen feature the default tool when switching between documents instead of the lasso.

Toggle that allows a Shaded Shape Without Outline
Please bring back the ability to erase the outline while keeping the shaded fill after using the “hold to perfect shape” feature. It was super useful for creating clean shaded boxes and diagrams. A toggle to separate fill and outline would be amazing!

Multiple Line Highlighting
Highlighting is very tedious on this app. I agree with the many other posts that are requesting straight line highlighting and snap to text highlighting (as an option in addition to the current highlighter). However, I would like to take the snap to text feature one step further.
If I need to highlight 3 lines in a paragraph, I shouldn’t have to make 3 separate highlighter actions. I should only have to put my pencil on the first word, and drag it to the last word. The software should highlight everything in between. In the image I attached, I put…

Customizable Lasso Toolbar / Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Customizable Lasso Toolbar
When using the Lasso Tool, I would love the option to customize the toolbar that appears after selecting content. Specifically, it would be great if actions like Copy could be placed directly on the toolbar instead of being hidden behind the three-dot menu, allowing users to choose which tools appear there.
Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Currently, duplicated text can only be moved to the next page after it has been placed and selected again with the Lasso Tool. It would be much more efficient if duplicated text could be moved to the next page…

Add a toggle for quick selection
Quick selection is clunky and gets in the way. The tool doesn’t do layers well so realistically tapping on an object never works for me. I remember this being an option in GoodNotes 5, where I can disable click to select different objects (universal selection?) and that really simplified things for me. I’m not sure why that option is taken away.

Non-Deletable Handwriting
I need a feature in GoodNotes that allows certain handwritten text to remain undeletable, even when I use the page delete function.
When I solve the same workbook multiple times, I mark whether I got each question right or wrong. The problem is that when I use the page delete function to clear my messy work and keep only those markings, the previous right/wrong marks get deleted as well, which is inconvenient.

Frustrating UI decisions and unaddressed bugs since Version 7
Text Selection Bug: This issue has persisted since Version 7. When I long-press to select text and then interact with another function, I cannot simply tap once to deselect/cancel the selection. I am forced to select a different character first before I can click to cancel. I expected this to be fixed after multiple updates, but it hasn't been addressed.
Pen & Lasso Tool Placement: Hundreds of users have pointed out the issue with the Pen tool not being accessible alongside the Lasso tool. Does the development team not realize these two are frequently used together? If you need to…

Small sticker option
When using stickers, I would like to make them small as they are then the right size if using them regularly, but the quality reduces so significantly this isn’t possible, and I have to resize them every time, which is time consuming, and the inconsistency in sizing is annoying. If there was a way to increase the quality it would be great.

Full Color Palette Display in Highlighting
I love the new update but it has been less efficient because of the color palette for highlighters not in full display. Scrolling in switching colors has been a hassle while studying. In the next update, please bring back the full color palette display but do keep the floating function tool.

Add Highlighter Functionality for Mouse Users
I am an iPad user and frequently work with GoodNotes using an external mouse.
However, I noticed that several tools in the app are not fully supported when using a mouse. In particular, the highlighter tool cannot be used properly with mouse input, which significantly limits productivity for users who prefer or rely on this type of interaction.
I would like to suggest the implementation of full mouse support for the highlighter tool and other drawing features. Adding this functionality would greatly enhance the user experience and make GoodNotes even more versatile for those using the app in desktop-like workflows.

MIRROR TOOL
Hand drawing could be improved massively with a horizontal and vertical mirroring tool. Technical and scheme drawing would be much cleaner and faster.

Different default fonts depending on file

Color switch
Hi can we bring back the double tap to switch highlighter color? It’s not working on neither of my iPads and I have tried in both with different pencils (pro and 2nd gen). Has it been removed? Or is it a bug?

Improve Lasso Tool Visibility and Selection Feedback
As shown in the attached images, it would be beneficial to add a movement or animated effect to the Lasso tool so that users can more clearly recognize its motion while selecting an area.
Additionally, similar to the Lasso tool in Photoshop, I would like to request a feature that allows users to visually confirm exactly which handwritten content has been selected when using the Lasso tool. When selecting handwritten notes, it is sometimes unclear which parts are included in the selection.
For example, as illustrated in the images, it would be helpful to clearly distinguish between selecting the entire…

Request for Improved Pencil Writing Feel (Adding Jitter Control and Grit Control Options)
As shown in the attached image, a pencil thickness of approximately 0.3–0.35 mm provides the most comfortable writing experience. When the thickness is set above or below this range, the jitter either becomes too weak or too strong, which significantly reduces writing satisfaction.
For this reason, I would like to request the addition of adjustable jitter control and grit (texture) control options.
Additionally, the current pencil tool lacks advanced customization options. To enhance professional writing and drawing experiences, I propose separating the pencil tool into distinct categories, such as pencil and mechanical pencil. Furthermore, similar to real pencils (e.g., 2B,…

Make tape feature accessible across all versions
Make tape feature available across all versions, considering this app is primarily used by students who utilize active recall, and several users have already paid a one-time purchase fee for earlier versions. Yearly subscription is subpar compared to competing developers who either require a one-time purchase fee with numerous features that are not available on Goodnotes or offer these same features at reduced pricing. Greed gets you nowhere but forgotten.
