  2. Now that the eraser is its own section in the toolbar, getting rid of the slow type selection dropdown would be a good next step, as the bar definitely has the space for it

    I change between precision and stroke quite frequently and it is a process that could be that little bit faster and more convenient than it is right now

  3. I want the toolbar, the bar where we change the stylus and adjust its thickness, to be hideable like in the Apple Notes app.

  4. ¡Hola! Quería exponer esto en algún lugar para que alguien lo pudiese ver y es que tengo un problema, hace dos días cuando utilizabas un cuadro de texto y cambiabas el tamaño de la letra podías ajustar manualmente el espaciado entre líneas pero ahora ya no, no sé si es un error o que han quitado esa utilidad pero es imposible el poder escribir en los documentos bien.
    Mi versión es la de Windows 11, ¡gracias!

  5. After the new tape inclusion, it would be nice to have a button to hide all tapes again or to show the content below the tapes at the same time.

  6. Everyone wants to mirror images, but what would be awesome is if you had any sketch and to be able to mirror its entirety to give symmetrical conduct, it saves not only time and energy but is also efficient and widely used in sketches.
    So just a thought…

  7. Please look at the attached photo. Does this look normal to you? Even after hiding the status bar to secure more screen space, it still looks like this. It is extremely irritating that one-fifth of the screen is wasted for stacks of some 'bars' that are useless 95% of the time, and I want to hide ALL OF THEM immediately.

    1. Please make it possible to enable read-only mode + hide tab bar + hide tool bar even while writing.
    2. JUST LET ME TAKE NOTES IN FULL SCREEN WITHOUT ANY DISTRACTIONS

    I simply want to take notes in full screen. I…

  9. Each newest verion of the app makes things worse and worse. Before this latest update if you selected the lasso tool and had handwriting seletion off when you took a screenshot the handwriting would be omitted from the screenshot. Now even with handwriting seleted off you take a screenshot and it includes the handwriting. What is the point of not selecting handwriting if it is still showing in the screenshot?

    If I hadn't spent $30 and had years of notes for school, I would switch apps. I am so disapointed with what this app has become. They're just pushing AI…

  10. Have the ability to mark a notebook as a “favorite” within the notebook when it is open. I like to use this feature so I can find specific notebooks more easily within all of the folders. I sometimes forget to make one a favorite and accidentally close it and it can be challenging to find it once its closed.

  12. Buenos días.
    Dejo este comentario porque me parece algo que puede mejorar la experiencia al usar la aplicación. Soy estudiante y es una herramienta que uso a diario para lectura, subrayado de PDFs y tambien toma de notas, específicamente sobre textos.
    Uno de los principales inconvenientes que tengo al estudiar con la tablet es que al usar el lápiz con la función de resaltador mi pulso es impreciso y al subrayar el texto la linea habitualmente sale torcida. Se que al mantener presionado una vez finalizado el trazo este se endereza automáticamente, pero por lo general mi trazo es tan…

  13. As a Goodnotes user for the past 10 years: please stop changing the UI. I know the business and product teams probably feel pressure to keeping adding more stuff to get more users and growth whatever, but you are alienating your hardcore power users that have been recommending this product for 10 years.

    UX Designers: the existing toolbar was great. stop refactoring stuff just because you built a new thing and don't know where to shove it.

    Product Managers: Just make a really solid note taking app. Stop trying to add more stuff in the same app. Whiteboarding should be…

  14. I regularly use the shape to draw curved lines and then edit their shape to create larger, more complex shapes. Currently, that‘s next to impossible:
    - Editing points don‘t scale with zooming; especially when editing small lines, the points now cover up the lines entirely.
    - These lines are often glitched out and turn invisible while editing, especially when multiple lines are connected together.
    - After editing a line, Goodnotes automatically selects the lasso tool instead of the pen, making the drawing process very tedious.

    None of these issues occured with Goodnotes 6, I hope these issues are fixed with…

  15. 在文档中做笔记或书写时,页面空间常常会不够用。在这种情况下,如果能够增加“页面扩展”功能,让用户可以在同一页面内延展书写区域,将带来更大的灵活性和连贯性,尤其适合那些希望将相关内容保持在同一页面中的用户,而不是被迫分散到多个页面。感谢你们持续打造这样一款强大且用心设计的应用。希望你们能在未来的更新中考虑这一建议。

    When taking notes or writing in a document, there’s often not enough space on the page. In such cases, adding a “page expansion” feature that allows users to extend the writing area within the same page would provide greater flexibility and continuity. This would be particularly useful for users who prefer to keep related content on a single page rather than having it scattered across multiple pages. Thank you for your ongoing efforts in creating such a powerful and thoughtfully designed app. We hope you’ll consider this suggestion in future updates.

  17. Add an option for the tape feature to toggle all on or all off, in addition to the remove all feature. I don't want to go through my entire document to open them all or close them all. One button is better.

  18. Please include a lock function/icon in the primary image click hover menu.

    And/or even more functionality to be able to “pin” tools nested in the ellipsis (overflow menu) to this primary hover menu permanently as specified by user.

    This would save several inputs in order to lock elements, similar to how (once locked) the hover menu populates with a rapid unlock image icon.

    Please & thanks.

  19. The ruler angle measuring is not very user friendly for students. It would be great to add an actual protractor tool. On the same note, there should be a tool that allows you to draw a circle with its visible and radius measurement available.

    I’ve made an image of a protractor into a sticker element which I then save on student’s divices individually.
