[Eraser] Pressure Sensitive Eraser
Add a pressure-sensitive eraser, which allows the user to adjust the pressure level. Feeling different pressures determines whether the eraser function is activated.

I use the laser pen tool for reviewing notes and repetition, but now for some reason the dots on the i’s and sometimes some short vertical & horizontal lines vanish, making it hard to study. please bring back the old laser pen tool

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.

Stop moving the image after cropping
It's a bit irritating that the entire image moves when I crop it, when I already have markings on it with the perfect positioning. I would prefer it, if it stays in the same place

Where is my "copy" option when using the lasso tool?
Oh... that's where the copy tool is! Buried behind the ( . . . ) menu, so now in layer two of the context menu when I have circled content I want to copy and move.
Why?
And I do realize there is a Duplicate option but I don't want to drag my content around behind me, I want to have the copied content ready to be pasted multiple times over without it visibly overlaying other content which Duplicate does.
But maybe I am just super old fashioned and want to copy and paste content all the time and therefore…

Add Opacity Control to Pen Tools
I would like to suggest adding an opacity control (0–100%) to pen tools such as the fountain pen, ballpoint pen, brush pen, pencil, highlighter, and tape pen.
This feature would allow for greater flexibility and precision in note-taking, highlighting, and creative work.

Support text-based PDF highlighting & add rectangular PDF text highlight
There should be an option to be able to highlight the pdf text in the highlighter color you have selected. Similar to how you long press on a word and it selects, it should highlight, that way its much cleaner and easier on laptops to use. It should be in a rectangular highlighter shape. This feature is available in notability and is really urging me to switch.

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.…14 votes -
Tape
Be able to remove tape in the entire deck with one button rather than for a page because when exporting I don’t want the tape, or a button to export without tape

Improve Search Navigation in Goodnotes
- Search sometimes misses words that are already present in the document.
- Add Match Case and Whole Words search options.
- Navigate directly to the exact location of the searched word instead of only opening the page.
- Preserve the current zoom level when jumping to search results.
- Highlight the searched word after navigation.
- This would be especially useful in Whiteboard mode, where the large canvas makes precise navigation essential.
- A search experience similar to PDF Expert would greatly improve speed and productivity.

Shape tool is not as good as before
Shape tool has become worse than goodnotes 6. Earlier we could draw any shape by drawing and holding the shape but now it converts every weird shape into a perfect shape line like square, rectangle or star
Just make it as flexible as goodnotes 6 shape tool12 votes -
Grid spacing and ruler should follow standard measurements (2 squares = 1 cm)
I would like to suggest aligning the grid spacing and the ruler in GoodNotes with common measurement standards.
In many countries (for example in Europe), squared paper follows a standardized pattern where two squares equal exactly 1 cm. This standard is widely used in schools, universities, and technical work.
Currently in GoodNotes, however, two squares correspond to about 1.12 cm when measured with the built-in ruler. Because of this mismatch, the ruler becomes difficult to use for precise measurements or technical sketches. Lines drawn using the grid do not correspond correctly to real-world measurements.
This can be especially inconvenient for…5 votes -
Reinstitute object selection toggle
Please put the object selection toggle back. When a writing tool, I do not want to select an image without purposely using the lasso tool. It makes writing on images difficult.

Rotate page when writing
Can you please make it to where we can rotate the page or turn it to the side slightly when writing like you would in procreate or on a regular piece of paper? I find myself having to turn my iPad to the side or my body just to get comfortable when writing. That would be a cool idea to implement.

Floatingbar
Please consider adding an option to switch between a fixed and floating toolbar. The floating toolbar is distracting during long study sessions and slows down workflow. A fixed toolbar was much more efficient and comfortable to use. Having both options would greatly improve the user experience.

[Fountain Pen] Lock Nib Angle
When using the fountain pen with Apple Pencil rotation enabled, users must constantly re-adjust their grip to keep the nib horizontal. Locking rotation forces a fixed default angle that often looks unnatural for a fountain pen.
Please add the option to lock the nib at a user-defined angle, for example by letting the user set the angle with a slider so the pen hits the page the same way every time. See image for example. This would greatly improve writing flow, style and comfort.

Revert how connected lines work
Before the last update, connected lines could be selected individually which allowed drawings to happen easily. However, now all connected lines are treated as one object so it is now physically impossible to actually edit any singular line diagram you make. This is horrible because if u make 1 mistake and accidentally connect a line to a line diagram and delete 1 singular line, you delete the entire line diagram, which makes mistakes that are old enough to not simply “undo” permanent. Before this, you had more freedom and lines worked better.

Canvas rotation
It would be great to rotate the canvas when using a whiteboard. Like it is in Procreate or Photoshop
