  1. 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 support

    This would greatly improve…

  3. Hello Goodnotes Team,

    I am writing to strongly request a critical feature that is currently missing from the app: an option to clear all handwritten notes and annotations across the entire document at once.

    Currently, users have to manually delete annotations page by page or clear pages individually. Having to erase notes page by page in a long document is extremely time-consuming and inefficient. It is genuinely surprising that a full-document clear option is not yet available in a leading note-taking application.

    Adding a "Clear All Written Content in Document" feature—ideally with a safety confirmation prompt—would drastically improve the user…

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Allow us to form perfect arrows when using draw and hold. It often slows my progress switching between the Pen Tool and the Shape Tool, and I'd much rather have the ability to automatically make an arrow using draw and hold, just like other shapes

  8. Good morning,

    I am leaving this comment because I believe it could help improve the user experience of the application. I am a student, and I use it daily for reading, highlighting PDFs, and taking notes, especially on texts.

    One of the main issues I encounter when studying on a tablet is that, when using the stylus with the highlighter function, my hand is not very steady, and the lines I draw are usually uneven. I know that by holding the stroke at the end it automatically straightens, but in many cases my stroke is so irregular that the correction…

  9. It is recommended to add a zoom‑lock feature. After zooming in to a suitable position with two‑finger gestures, the zoom level will change again if you swipe left or right across the interface with two fingers.

  10. 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

  12. It would be very helpful to be able to select multiple images when inserting them and then reduce their file size. I have notebooks that are very large because they contain many images; this often causes backups to fail because the process takes so long.

  13. I would love to have a feature that allows us to draw wavy lines (squiggly lines) automatically using the Shape tool. Currently, drawing them by hand looks messy, and using text boxes or stickers is inconvenient. It would be extremely helpful for underlining and emphasizing key points while taking notes. Thank you!

  14. 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.

  15. Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn man mit dem Lasso nicht nur bestimmte Bereiche temporär einfangen und verschieben/anpassen könnte. Eine dauerhafte Gruppierung wie in Word wäre hilfreich.

  16. I want to be able to click and hold the first word in a paragraph and be able to drag and highlight the whole paragraph in one stroke instead of highlighting each line/sendence individually.

  17. Pen Sub-tools: I use pen-related sub-tools more frequently than the main tools. Please allow users to pin pen sub-tools directly to the main toolbar for quicker access.

    Dedicated Shortcuts: Adding links and converting text currently requires too many taps. Please provide an option to add these specific functions as individual icons on the main toolbar.

  18. I'm a gymnastics coach and I use Goodnotes to plan practices and write down drills. It would be so helpful to quickly reference a video of a new drill we’re trying for the first time, or help my gymnasts better understand a new skill they’re working on. My little stick figure drawings can only do so much.

  19. As a medical student I often take photos of lecture slides from various angles, currently cropping these images results in distorted or skewed perspectives, leaving me with “uncroppable” parts.

    I would love to see a feature similiar to the Notes app in IOS when scanning a document, it would help me make better notes for me.

    Best regars, Josef.
