Set default font type and size for typing in sticky notes
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!

Auto Adjust(resize) of pen tip
“smart" auto-adjustment that changes the physical pen thickness (e.g., from 0.5mm to 0.2mm) like the laser point have while we zoom in & zoom out.
This feature would be great & much helpful instead of manually clicking & adjusting the pen thickness.

Requests for Goodnotes 6 Improvements
Feedback and Feature Requests for Goodnotes 6 Improvements
1. Text Tool EnhancementsText Input Issues: Since upgrading to Goodnotes 6, typing has become frustrating. When clicking to type, the app often selects the entire PDF text block instead of placing a cursor. Please allow users to tap anywhere to start typing immediately without triggering existing text blocks. Currently, it's particularly difficult with a mouse or finger compared to the Apple Pencil.
Custom Text Styles: Currently, only one default style can be saved. Please allow users to create and save multiple custom text presets. Additionally, include letter spacing (kerning) as a…

Decouple zoom window from main view
When writing in the zoom window, the place where you are writing has to appear also in the main view. This is sometimes inconvenient as it may be handful to write in page 3 but seeing page 1 for instance.

pen & highlighter straight line changing point
In the newer versions, the blue changing points for drawing straight lines are very big. If you zoom in, it becomes impossible to be exact.

Real-time handwriting beautification (Apple Pencil)
I’d love a feature that automatically refines handwriting to a font or refining my actual handwriting in real time while writing, similar to Freenotes.
I would like to:
- Smooth and standardize strokes live
- Keep the user’s handwriting style OR apply a font
- Improve legibility and aesthetics instantly
Use case:
- Annotating PDFs where neatness matters
- Taking notes that look polished without rewriting
- Digital planning
Why it matters:
Currently, GoodNotes requires manual conversion or editing. A real-time system would:- Save time
- Improve visual quality
- Compete with newer apps offering live handwriting refinement
Optional features:
- Toggle on/off
- Adjustable “cleanliness” level
- Style presets (natural…

Bigger writing for whiteboard
I would like to be able to make the writing size bigger for features like the whiteboard since I personally like to have a lot of size difference in my mindmaps and it would really help out. I‘d suggest to have the 3 different sizes like before but also add an option to create your own size with a pen that you can resize by pixelwidth, so everyone is happe :)

European math notations
The math features are awesome, saving some time not needing to use the manual calculator. However, in Europe we use comma instead of points for decimals and the math tools sometimes struggles with that and interprets decimal numbers as vectors or coordinates. Please add support for European math notations.

Currently, GoodNotes requires a two-finger double-tap to undo. Apps like Procreate use a single two-finger tap, which is the gesture most stylus users are already muscle-memorized to. Coming from Procreate, I instinctively single-tap to undo and it never registers, breaking my writing flow constantly.
The fix is simple: add an option in Settings to choose between single-tap and double-tap for the two-finger undo gesture. Users who prefer double-tap keep their behavior; users coming from Procreate or other apps can switch to single-tap.
This is a low-lift change with high impact for anyone who uses multiple creative apps on iPad.I…

textbox
typing needs much improvement...
1. textbox
- indented bullet points need to be added
- allow multiple default typings instead of only one- full page typing
- allow change font i know this will mess up the spacing but we could change the line spacing ourselves
also when more tape is used, its hard to select one individual tape and insteads it selects many tape around my selction. precision could be improved

Natural Switching Between Handwriting and Typing Without Tool Changes
In my study and note-taking workflow, I naturally switch between handwriting and typing. While GoodNotes allows adding a typing block, the current experience feels too simple and not fully integrated with the handwritten document, which makes the transition less practical during real study sessions.
A more natural interaction could greatly improve this experience: writing with the Apple Pencil would continue to produce handwriting anywhere on the page, while tapping the screen with a finger would instantly open the keyboard and allow typing directly at that location—without manually switching tools or modes.
This fluid “pen writes, finger types” interaction would remove…

Handwritten text inside tables
Currently tables can only be created inside documents; and in documents you cannot write handwritten text.
In the future, if tables will be available inside whiteboards and notes, would be useful to have handwritten text inside tables.
Of course a limit could be the cell. Once you began to write in a cell, the cell or the related column and row should expand accordingly to the size of the text or, once you finish to write the handwritten text, and the text is bigger compared to the cell, it should be hidden like what happens in ms excel.1 vote -
Snap to line/grid & Customized profile pic
Shape not snapping to grid is the only reason my friend is not switching to Goodnotes. He’s an engineer and it would be incredibly helpful. Also please allow us to customize our profile picture color at least. Right now, it’s a color that’s unlucky in my country, so I would really appreciate it.

Write with Pencil over Text Document
I mainly use the new Text Doc template and type up the majority of my notes. I'd like an easy way to add handwriting to the text document.
Also, I've noticed that it is very hard to add a phone to a Text Doc template.

我希望增加中文手写实时美化功能
我是一名中国用户，我希望增加一个手写字美化功能，美化成特定类似手写字体。因为中国人的写字差异会非常大。我们有些自己写的字能读得懂，如果展示给其他人看，或者保存下来可能会有比较大的困难，对于写字难看的人。所以希望加入字体实时美化的功能。现在一些中国app已经有这样的功能，希望贵公司的可以跟进。I am a user from China, and I would like to suggest adding a handwriting beautification feature that can transform handwriting into a specific, aesthetically pleasing handwritten font. There is a vast disparity in how different Chinese people write. For those with poor handwriting, their original script might be legible to themselves but difficult for others to read or problematic to save for future reference. Therefore, I hope to see a real-time handwriting beautification feature. Some Chinese apps have already implemented this, and I hope your company can follow suit.

font
I found an issue where custom fonts installed on iOS (e.g., via the Bakey font app) do not appear in the font list when Goodnotes 6 uses the new Whiteboard-enabled UI.
Here are the details:
✔ Old UI (no Whiteboard option)
“New note” menu does not show the Whiteboard button
Font toolbar is in the top ribbon
Custom fonts appear normally
✔ New UI (with Whiteboard — released around Sep 25, 2025)
“New note” menu includes a Whiteboard button
Font toolbar becomes a floating popup near the text box
Custom fonts do NOT appear in the font picker
Happens across…
