Add Auto-Snapback to Pen After Highlighting
Just how once you’re done erasing it goes right back to the pencil so I can write. I think this would also be useful if it did the same thing for highlighting. Every time I have to highlight and it doesn’t go back to the pencil I waste more time going back to erase what I highlighted on my page because i Though I was using the pen tool

Backup for Pen/highlight Colors
I recently had to delete and re-download the app because of a bug issue and lost all of my saved colors. It would be awesome if there is a way to save or back up pen and highlight colors so that you don’t have to reprogram them when re-downloading the app.

Lack of snapping and reference points when using shapes
Hi everyone,
I’d like to report a limitation I’ve noticed when working with shapes in Goodnotes and ask if others feel the same.When drawing or editing shapes such as circles, squares, and lines, there is currently no snapping or anchoring system. This makes it difficult to align shapes precisely or connect them to each other.
In particular:
There are no visible reference points (such as center points, midpoints, or edge anchors).
It’s hard to find the exact center of a circle or square.
Aligning shapes or connecting lines to other shapes requires a lot of manual adjustment and is…

text field and tables
Please bring back the setting, that you can customize you text field and save the customization. In earlier versions it was able to fine tune the line spacing, now it is too imprecise. It is very bad
As well we need the function to create tables. It would make so many thing so much easier. Please invent it

Horizontal Toolbar Remove - apple pencil pro
As a apple pencil pro user. The squeeze feature for openning the circle toolbar is self sufficient for changing tools so a settintgs that remove the horizontal toolbar when using apple pencil pro would be a great and easy way to get more space for notebook and usage of the squeeze feature on the pencil. Hope the idea seems great !

Please bring back the undo and redo buttons in the macOS version of Goodnotes. It is dearly missed by this teacher that uses Goodnotes for instruction.

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!

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.

Enhanced Text Formatting for Flashcard Learning Resources
Would it be possible to enable richer text formatting within the text fields of the flashcard learning resources?
Currently, the flashcards do not support advanced formatting options such as text colors, font variations, or styled layouts—features that are available in regular text documents within GoodNotes.Allowing users to customize text with colors, font styles, and structured formatting would greatly enhance clarity and memorization, especially for students who rely on visual organization in their study materials.

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.
