  1. I am not asking to copy the text itself. I need the ability to copy only the formatting — font, size, color, weight, and other text properties — and apply it to another selected piece of text, just like Format Painter in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint.

    Having to manually reproduce the same font, size, color, and styling over and over again is incredibly frustrating and unnecessarily slows down the workflow. For an app centered around note-taking and document editing, the absence of such a fundamental editing feature is extremely disappointing.

    This is not a minor convenience or a niche feature.…

  2. Currently, there is only an option to clear notes on a single page, but it would be great to have a button that clears all handwritten notes across the entire document at once.

  3. I really appreciate that you can set a default font type and size for text boxes. It's really helped me streamline my notes when needed. I also really love the sticky note feature, but it's quite time consuming to change the font type and size when typing on sticky notes.

    It would be amazing if a future update would give you the option of setting a default font type and size for typing in sticky notes! Thanks!

  4. Whenever I want to use the arrow tool to draw axes (two perpendicular segments drawn with one stroke), I use an arrow with arrowheads at both ends. The problem is that, no matter what I do the corner is rounded

    Is it possible to allow the corner bend NOT to be rounded?

    I actually do not know whether this is a bug or a feature request...

    Thanks

  7. I really loved the text document because it was similar to typing on Microsoft Word and more versatile for me to arrange my study texts. Please bring it back. The box is just too small and inconvenient.

  8. I would love to see a fountain pen added to Goodnotes, similar to the one available in the default iOS Notes app. It has a unique, smooth writing feel that would make handwriting more natural and enjoyable. I think having this option would give users more variety in their writing styles.

  9. Love the new text doc feature, but it needs improvements.

    1. Option to hyperlink to Text Docs. Right now it is greyed out when trying to link to them. Very inconvenient. It should have the option to link to the entire document and also Headings/ Subheadings within it.

    2. Option to use drawing tools within the text doc.

    3. More exporting features. Especially exporting as word document or actual text document. This is super important when trying to share editable writing with someone who doesn't use goodnotes.

    4. WORD COUNT. Please, as a writer having a word count is super important. I would also…

  10. 제발 개선좀 해주세요!!!!!!!!!!!!
    너무 불편함.
    아니 텍스트 치고 싶은데 전체 인식처럼 블록이 씌워져서 쓸 수가 없어요.
    링크도 왜 내가 넣고 싶은 부분에 못넣는지.
    텍스트도 왜 내가 넣고 싶은 부분에 못넣는지.
    전체 인식 블록 좀 안 되게 해주세요!!!!!!!!!!!
    전체인식 텍스트가 저런 악보나 음표를 인식할 수있다고?
    아니요. 저중에서 인식하는것은 페이지번호 60밖에 없었어요.
    전체인식도 제대로 안되고 복사 붙여넣기도 안되는데 괜히 이상한 기능을 넣어서 쓰는게 넘 불편해졌어요.
    넣고 싶은 곳에 텍스트 넣고 넣고 싶은 곳에 링크좀 넣게 수정좀 해주시면 안됩니까
    기본 무료앱도 페이지 아무곳을누르면 텍스트 입력할수있고
    링크를 원하는데 넣을 수있습니다.
    제발 수정좀 해주세요.
    굿노트 결제했는데 왜 더 불편할까요
    그리고 레이어기능좀 만들어주세요.
    쓰다가 화병날거 같아요.…

  11. Please add actual font-size controls to Text Documents. It’s ridiculous that in 2026 I can change text “styles” but I still can’t simply make normal body text larger.

    I do not want to turn half my document into headings just to make the text readable. That is not a workaround — it’s bad design.

    This is also an accessibility issue. People with eye strain, visual fatigue, or simply different reading preferences should be able to choose a comfortable font size. The regular Text Tool already supports font sizing, so there is no good reason for Text Documents to be this…

  12. It would be super ultra cool if I could upload my own font to Goodnotes. Some apps already do that such as Phonto. When I type in Goodnotes on my Mac, I enjoy using all my Saved fonts. But on my iPad Pro where I do 95% of my Goodnotes work when I look at the text, I inserted using Mac, the font changed..

  13. I’d like to suggest a small but highly practical feature that would greatly improve the writing experience: the ability to scroll past the bottom of a page.

    The Issue: When writing at the very bottom of a document or slide, the page stops moving. This leaves no screen space to rest our hand, forcing it awkwardly off the edge of the iPad. It’s uncomfortable and makes it difficult to maintain neat handwriting at the end of a page.

    The Solution: Allow the page to be scrolled further up, past the bottom margin. This would create a blank, inactive space at…

  14. Dear Goodnotes Team,
    I am writing this email to share a suggestion aimed at enhancing and refining an app cherished by millions of users.
    As you may know, many users find it challenging to maintain consistent handwriting size across their notes. To address this issue, I propose displaying the current zoom percentage on the screen when a user zooms in or out. Additionally, it would be extremely helpful to introduce a zoom lock feature for a specified percentage. For instance, if a user zooms in to 120%, they could lock the page at that exact level. This functionality would ensure…

  15. Dear Goodnotes Product & Engineering Team,

    As a Science student who relies heavily on Goodnotes, I am writing to formally request the integration of native inline math rendering (such as MathJax or KaTeX) within standard typed text boxes.

    While the current handwriting-to-math conversion and isolated math block tools are useful for large equations, they create a highly fragmented workflow for typing hybrid content. Currently, it is impossible to type a sentence and seamlessly embed a quick mathematical variable, limit, or expression (e.g., f(x) = y² or θ) without breaking the paragraph alignment, creating a separate canvas element, or using external…

  16. Enable spellcheck in the Text Docs feature of Goodnotes. It would be useful to have the same spellcheck feature in the Text Docs feature as is seen in the Notebook function. As the Text Docs are used primarily for typing it would be good to have a spellcheck functionality.

  17. It would be an amazing addition to be able to edit the textbox presets (i.e. Modern, Classical, Technical) to be what you want it to be. I find that I am switching between my default fonts and having to change everything again, just to write my text in a different way. This can be looped in to the idea for making presets for "body, heading, subheading" but this would be accessible to a notebook rather than only a document.

  20. When selecting a link with the Apple Pencil, it now shrinks the font (or in my case, an emoji). When resizing, it will return to its original size once you increase/decrease the size, but as soon as you deselect, it shrinks again. Started 2 updates ago.
