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.

[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.

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.

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 -
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…

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.

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 -

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

Feature Request: Split-Screen View for Better Multitasking
I am writing to strongly request the addition of a split-screen view feature. As I work with increasingly large amounts of data, this feature has become essential for my workflow. Many other note-taking apps offer this as a standard feature, and it is becoming a deciding factor for me to consider switching to another platform.
I know many other users share the same need for this functionality. I truly hope the team considers prioritizing this update in the near future, as it would significantly enhance the user experience.2 votes -
[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.

Sticky Note pop-up gets cut off near page margins on iPad
On iPad, when I place a Sticky Note near the page margin, the pop-up opens partially cut off/off-screen and it’s inconvenient to use. It would be helpful if the pop-up could extend beyond the page edges or automatically reposition, so it always stays fully visible.
I’m attaching a few screenshots:
(1) note placed near the margin (highlighted)
(2) pop-up being cut off/off-screen
(3) example with the note closer to the center where the pop-up is fully visible

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.

Add an Optional Auto Re-Hide Mode for Masking Tape
The Masking Tape feature is extremely useful for memorization practice.
However, during repetitive active recall study, users currently need to manually hide each revealed masking tape again before testing themselves another time.
This becomes tedious when many masking tapes are used on a single page.
An optional “Auto Re-Hide” mode would solve this problem.
Example:
- Tap to reveal
- After a user-defined delay (1s / 3s / 5s etc.), the masking tape automatically hides again
This would create a much smoother flashcard-like study experience and improve memorization efficiency significantly.
The feature could remain completely optional and be turned ON/OFF depending on…

Add a “Reveal All Masking Tapes” Button
The Masking Tape feature is amazing for active recall and memorization.
However, when a page contains many masking tapes, users currently have to tap every single one individually just to review the full content.
This is especially inconvenient when users want to quickly review the entire page or check the overall structure of their notes before testing themselves again.
A simple “Reveal All / Hide All” toggle would make studying much smoother and faster.
Possible options:
• Reveal all masking tapes on the current page
• Hide all again with one tap
• Optional notebook-wide supportThis would greatly improve…
