Please bring back typing + handwriting in the same note
I really miss the old version where I could type text and handwrite in the same note. Now I have to choose between typing or writing note, which honestly makes note taking so much harder.
I know there’s the “text” option in the handwriting mode, but it’s just not the same… it doesn’t sync as neatly, and I waste so much time adjusting font size, boldness, spacing, etc. It totally breaks my focus and I end up missing a lot of info during class.
Please, please bring back the ability to type and write in the same note again. It…

Back to technical drawing
As an aerospace engineer, it was essential for me to be able to draw curves and lines by connecting points without going crazy. Since the last update, if you connect multiple curved lines, the system interprets this function however it wants and gives it a shape completely different from what I intended. Moreover, if you create simple shapes like circles inside other figures, it’s no longer possible to rotate the entire drawing. Please go back to the old logic — it was 100 times better.

Eliminate hover in windows
It's very annoying, the hover effect they recently added to GoodNotes on Windows. Visually, it makes my eyes get tired quickly when I move the mouse over the document.

Bring back the ball point pen
I hate using the fountain pen because I want all my writing to look consistent. The fountain pen has places where it's thicker and places where it's thinner and it drives me crazy. The ball point pen was way better because it was consistent. Bring it back!

Improve handwriting to text converter by removing newlines
Right now, when I convert my handwriting to text with the lasso tool, it also converts all the newlines. Any time I went to the next line because the line was full, the text now does to too. However, since text is more space-efficient, the newlines are placed randomly. There is no fast way of removing them, and when I ask AI to do it, it always changes some words as well, which I don't want. Can there be a way the converter understands my page layout or a button that just removes all newlines at once?

Bullet list / Sub-bullet points
Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

Goodnotes 7 downgrade to 6
Dear GoodNotes Support Team,
since the recent update to GoodNotes 7 (version 7.0.3 [3413431.108865178]), my workflow has become significantly more difficult. I had deliberately disabled automatic updates, because I was fully satisfied with GoodNotes 6, which worked smoothly and intuitively for my daily academic work.
Unfortunately, the new version has not improved anything for me — quite the opposite.
The new user interface feels less efficient and visually cluttered, and the keyboard text tool has become cumbersome to use.
I now have to:
• tap the edit icon every time I want to adjust text,
• manually switch back to…4 votes -

handwriting disappears on sticky notes
When writing on a sticky note sometimes the text I wrote, not typed, will disappear behind the sticky note. I have to collapse the sticky note and reopen it in order for the text to show on top of the note.

Laser
Since the recent update, the laser got to make layers by each stroke. But it’s very inconvenient when I am writing letters, as the previous stroke shows up darker and the handwriting gets so messy.. please change it back so it can be used with one layer.

Ink drawn on top of imported elements jump behind when you try to
Subject: Ink layer jumps behind imported graph elements when selected in GoodNotes 7
Description:
When using GoodNotes 7 (currently on version 7.0.8), any ink drawn on top of an imported image or element (for example, a coordinate-grid or graph) behaves incorrectly after being selected.Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert an image or element (such as a coordinate grid) onto the page.
2. Send the image to the back.
3. Draw a parabola or any ink stroke on top of the grid using the Pen tool (optionally with Shape Recognition enabled).
4. After the ink snaps into shape, tap it once…2 votes -
Writing on am image be writing on the image itself
When annotating an image that I imported onto the note, it would be amazing that if/when I move the image that whatever I wrote would move with it as if I wrote on the actual image itself. Currently, I could use the lasso tool but that seems very clunky for such a smooth interface such as Goodnotes

Change the text box when you say it in a good way
This update is seriously frustrating.
Why does the tool automatically switch to the lasso tool after using a text box?
The previous version was much smoother and easier to use — now it just feels unnecessarily inconvenient and irritating.
It honestly looks like this change was made without any real consideration for users.And if you’re not even reading App Store reviews but just telling people to “send feedback,”
it really makes us wonder if you actually care about what users are saying.2 votes -
can’t make font size larger than 100pt
I used to have a title of each notebook with a large font size. In the latest Goodnotes 7 I am unable to obtain a font larger than 100. That’s a problem. Can you help me with that?

Handwriting to text capitalization issue
Before the last major update, I never had issues with handwriting to text conversion capitalizing the first letter of the first word of the first sentence. Since the update, I have to rewrite the word (sometimes twice) to get it to recognize it's the beginning of a paragraph. Don't seem to have the issue once the first sentence is completed. This is time-consuming and frustrating, so a fix would be much appreciated.

Different colour pallets/ groups for writing and highlighters
Have the pen colours and highlighter colours be able to be organised into different colour palettes. Also be able to have different presets for different notebooks!

Straightening for the Highlighter Tool
Since the newest update, the straightening of the highlighting tool has been "improved", i.e. when highlighting and holding at the end of the line, the shape resembles the original handwriting with more details. But that brings a rather glaring downside: when marking, one usually does not highlight in a perfectly straight line but rather with multiple bumps etc. When holding now, the highlighter often is not converted into a straight line through the text but rather a bumpy line with multiple edges and curves. It therefore does not go straight through the text anymore.
It would be lovely, if GoodNotes…

The color of the pencil tool
For some reason, after the recent update, the pencil tool's color has become very light, and there's no setting to adjust it. I hope you can make the pencil color darker, or add an option to adjust its darkness/opacity.

Allow user to write over the seam of two pages in vertical scroll
I had this posted some time ago, and then someone mistakenly merged it into an unrelated feature, so I have to recreate it.
The idea is simply to join pages of a PDF in vertical scroll such that the seam is either invisible or a thin line, and importantly to allow writing to bridge the page seam. Obviously the writing would break in terms of pdf pages, but so long as the break is invisible in vertical scroll, it would allow me to both use the white space between pages, but also to draw reference lines from the bottoms of…
