Apple Pencil Hover Issues
Please fix the issue where handwriting strokes become stretched and unintentionally connect to other letters when Apple Pencil Hover is enabled! Writing feels natural when Hover is turned off, but this issue always occurs when Hover is enabled.
When hovering the Apple Pencil near buttons, the interaction animations either do not exist or feel awkward compared to Apple’s apps and other well-designed apps. (The buttons only fade instead of changing size or responding naturally.)
Also, I do not think the keyboard shortcut hints need to appear when hovering over these buttons. (This applies to all buttons.)1 vote -
Write in Place
Write in Place makes the page automatically shift to the left while writing, so your hand can stay almost in the same position. It does not matter where on the page you begin writing. As soon as you write a letter or a word, the system measures how far your pen moves to the right. The page does not move during the stroke itself, but every time you lift the pen, it immediately shifts to the left by exactly that amount.
This is especially important for cursive writing: if you write a whole word in one continuous motion, the page…

Tip Sharpness, Pressure Sensitivity, and Tip Flatness Options to the Highlighter
I would like to request the addition of tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, and tip flatness options to the highlighter tool.
With these features, the shape of the highlighter stroke could change depending on the tilt of the pen tip, and setting the tip flatness to 100% could produce a more angular, chisel-like highlighter shape rather than a rounded one.
These controls are essential for achieving more precise, realistic, and professional highlighting behavior, and they would significantly enhance the flexibility and usability of the highlighter tool.

Smoother typing experience please!
Text tool feels clunky compared to Google Docs
Issue: Copy/paste, selecting text, and typing across pages doesn’t feel smooth or reliable.
Why it’s annoying: The friction breaks flow and makes typed notes feel like a worse experience than handwriting.
Request: Improve the text tool to behave more like Google Docs:Auto-add pages as text grows (no manual page management)
Smoother transitions across pages when selecting/typing/erasing
More reliable copy/paste behavior

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…

Reinstall the “save the font type, size & colour” option again.
This feature was previously there but recently been taken away. It is very cumbersome to custom the type, size and colour of the font every time when i try to write. So this feature called “save as default” option should be there for typing font, size and colour.

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.

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.

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.

deactivate double-tap undo
I'd like to disable the double-tap undo feature, since I don't use it, but it's sometimes triggered accidentally.

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…

Better left-handed support: free page positioning while zoomed
I am left-handed and when I zoom in to write with the Apple Pencil, the page always snaps back to the center automatically.
This makes it very hard to start writing on the far left side of the page, because I constantly end up writing at the edge.It would be very helpful if the page could be freely positioned horizontally (left/right) while zoomed in, without snapping back to the center.
An option to disable automatic centering or a dedicated left-handed writing mode would greatly improve the writing experience for left-handed users.2 votes -
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…
