  1. 1 - the toolbar being on top of the textbox itself is terrible. It blocks seeing text around where I'm typing which is really bothersome.
    2 - the pin-tool stops whenever I try editing the textbox length (which is very often since it doesn't automatically align with the length anymore) which makes the app think ive used a different tool and completely defeats the purpose of pinning the tool in the first place.
    3 - I often need to restart the app mid lecture because it crashed mid-typing in textboxes . The app is unable to accommodate basic fast typing.โ€ฆ

  2. Please add an option to set custom font presets for handwriting-to-text conversion. When I convert handwritten notes, the text always switches to the default font, and I have to reformat everything manually. Being able to choose and save presets (e.g., Noteworthy Bold for headings and Noteworthy Light for body text) would save a lot of time and make notes much cleaner instantly.

  3. For the textbook allow us to have a default color for the words inside the text box that isnโ€™t the black one. It is annoying have go back and choose the color I want to type that isnโ€™t black each time I make a new text box.

  4. Guten Tag,

    es wรคre schรถn, wenn man die eigenen Vorlagen noch weiter bearbeiten kรถnnte.

    Die von mir importierte Vorlage ist z.B. in links 1/3 Korrekturrand und rechts 2/3 linierter Bereich aufgeteilt.
    Wenn ich in dieser Vorlage allerdings die Funktion โ€žmit tippen startenโ€œ wรคhle, wird leider nicht in dem dafรผr vorgegebenen Bereich geschrieben.
    Auch das Zoom-Fenster wรผrde ich gerne automatisch auf den Beginn der Zeile springen lassen. Bisher zeigt das Zoom-Fenster nach dem Vollschreiben einer Zeile jedoch den linken Rand des Blaats an, der ja aber als Korrekturrand frei bleiben soll.

  5. In the latest GoodNotes update, I feel like they added more stroke stabilization without giving an option to turn it off. When I write โ€˜(โ€™ or โ€˜Cโ€™, it sometimes turns into โ€˜<โ€™, which is really frustrating.
    Also, why does the Undo button pop up every time I undo something? It keeps appearing over and over, and it honestly gets on my nerves. Why put it there at all? Whatโ€™s the purpose? So pls remove them and make an option to turn stroke stabilization completely off. Thanks

  6. Add More Granular Range Options to Pen Sliders (Tip Sharpness ~ Pen Flatness)

    Currently, the pen settings provide only fixed percentage options for sliders such as:

    Pen Tip Sharpness (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)

    Pressure Sensitivity (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)

    Pen Flatness (0%, 33%, 66%, 100%)

    For example, pen tip sharpness can only be selected from preset values like 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100. However, I would like to set more precise values such as 65% or 80%.

    This limitation is especially noticeable with pen flatness, where the selectable range jumps directly from 66% to 100%. I wishโ€ฆ

  7. when Iโ€™m writing to convert to text, when tapping to make a new line when using dotpoints it converts to modern size 24 rather than remaining in the same font as i was previously using. this same issue does NOT occur when not using dotpoints. If this issue could be fixed i would love it

  8. Please make both of them optional.

    I mainly use the lasso tool to move objects around and the "Universal Object Menu" that constantly pops up at random positions is so distracting. I keep hitting things I do not intend to while moving around objects.

    Same goes for the Quick Selection. I regularly import screenshots or pictures with the intend of writing notes on them. I do not want them to be selected every time I accidentally tap on them while moving the view of my document. I was able to deactivate this feature before, why is this not possible anymore?

  10. I love the possibility for bulleted and numbered lists, but would love more options like stars or smaller dots or squares. just more customisation in the text documents. like being able to change background colour maybe.

  11. It would be really helpful if you could type like on word with regular line break and just leave space for drawing/graphics. That would be perfect

  12. Feature Request: Add Text Box to Handwriting Conversion
    I would like to request a feature that converts typed text into handwriting, similar to Appleโ€™s Markup functionality.

    It would be great if GoodNotes could analyze the userโ€™s existing handwritten notes within documents and use that handwriting style to convert typed text into personalized handwriting.
    If no handwriting data is available, the app could prompt the user to provide handwriting samples for analysis and learning.

    This feature would allow typed text to blend naturally with handwritten notes, improving consistency and the overall note-taking experience in GoodNotes.

  15. I want to be able to set the default text size, font, etc., for when I convert my handwriting to text. Some pages it spits it out huge, sometimes not. Consistency would be a game changer, and a space saver.

  16. Currently, when zooming in on a note, there is no space on the left or right edges. This makes it unstable to write near the right or left edge of the note (especially on the dominant hand side) without moving your hand away from the iPad.

    Therefore, I request that even when zoomed in, a certain amount of margin be maintained as before zooming. This would allow the edge of the note to be moved as close as possible to the center of the screen.

  18. When I use the text box, the line height keeps changing. I have to and adjust the line height for each sentence, despite having a set default. I also hate how it goes to Lasso all the time, I never use Lasso. I miss Goodnotes 6 as it was easier to use for someone who struggles with technology.

  19. 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 โ€” now it just feels unnecessarily inconvenient and irritating.
    It honestly looks like this change was made without any real consideration for users.

    And if youโ€™re not even reading App Store reviews but just telling people to โ€œsend feedback,โ€
    it really makes us wonder if you actually care about what users are saying.
