  1. Please add customise font setting for the box where 3 default fonts are preset already. Those preset 3 fonts I rarely use. Kindly check the below photo to understand what I wanted to say!

  2. Currently, the app offers three pen stroke thicknesses (thin, medium, thick). It would be useful to allow users to add one or two additional stroke options for greater flexibility in note-taking and diagramming.

    I think a lot of students would benefit from this option especially students who zoom in to write on tiny organ pictures and re-zoom out for a different font size, like in my case.

    The idea is for those who want to add they can who don’t want then nothing changes.

    Best regards,

  3. Please give us the option to change the stroke settings on pre-written notes. For example, if I am able to increase the stroke width of a note that I've previously written without having to expand the whole thing, that would be amazing. I would be able to make cooler notes and tend to forget to change the size when moving on to a different topic or sub-subject, for example. When I forget to change sizes, it takes me a lot more work, so this would be very nice. Plus, look at this cool title slide I made. It took a…

  4. Transfer lifetime subscription from apple to android/windows. I paid for a subscription on my Ipad through my apple ID but now that I have a new tablet, I want my subscription since I've already paid a one time fee for it.

  5. Good afternoon, I am writing to tell you that I have been a goodnotes user for approximately 5 years. I am testing the new update you have made, and I have a negative comment. I wanted to tell you that I have found the control of the shapes a little uncomfortable. When selecting a line for example, the blue dots that appear at the ends to edit the shape are a little annoying. Previously (a few months ago), when you selected a shape, those dots reduced their size to the thickness (approximately) of the shape line, even when zooming in.…

  6. It would be nice if the highlighters and pictures you insert on the MacBook would not change its position on my iPad. whenever i highlight something on my iPad or on my MacBook or even insert a picture, the same page on the other device is a little shifted and not on the original position.
    I uploaded a picture: I wrote the text on my MacBook and highlighted on my iPad. The highlighter on the my MacBook was then shifted from its original position on my iPad. The highlighter on my iPad is still on the original position.

  7. Ich bin ein großer Fan von Goodnotes, aber ich würde mir wünschen,
    dass man bei dem Tool Textfeld
    verschiedene Stile
    sichern könnte,
    also unter einem bestimmten Namen speichern kann.
    So könnte man eben direkt unterspeichern, wie man seine Überschriften, seine Merksätze oder einfach die normalen Stichpunkte formatieren möchte, sodass man das nicht immer wieder selbst machen muss…

  8. Please improve the image quality in Study Sets again. Previously, you could actually read the inserted images. Now, the photos are of such poor quality that they are practically useless, making the function almost unusable. The photo I added is an example of the poor quality.

  10. This will either be a new document or a revised version of the whiteboard.

    It would be an amazing feature if there is an infinite whiteboard like space that you can navigate on by clicking and holding the middle mouse button making it easier to plan with Goodnotes.

  11. I wish GoodNotes had an option to sort files by title in ascending or descending order.
    This feature would be extremely, extremely useful.
    I hope you will consider adding it positively.

  12. 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

  13. Now that the eraser is its own section in the toolbar, getting rid of the slow type selection dropdown would be a good next step, as the bar definitely has the space for it

    I change between precision and stroke quite frequently and it is a process that could be that little bit faster and more convenient than it is right now

  14. Beim Einsetzen von Bildern und Stickern fehlt die Ankerfunktion, daher verschieben sich oft mehrere Kanten, nicht nur die, die gegriffen wurde. Das ist enorm unpraktisch und zeitaufwendig. Bitte inkludiert die Ankerfunktion, wie es in den meisten anderen Anwendungen schon lange Usus ist.

  17. Proposal: Add AI Model Selection and File Attachment Features to GoodNotes AI
    I would like to suggest adding AI model selection and advanced attachment capabilities to GoodNotes AI.

    First, it would be great to introduce tiered AI plans under the GoodNotes AI Pass, such as AI Basic, AI Pro, and AI Special. Based on the selected AI Pass and the available tokens or credits, users could choose and use different AI response models.
    For example: ChatGPT 5.2 (Thinking / Auto / Instant), Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini Flash, or a GoodNotes-native AI model (v1.0).

    Second, I suggest adding options that allow…

  18. There’s a phrase ‘Answer is ready’ before name of the file,
    it made me can’t see the name of the file and I have to open all of that to find the file I want to use, so I suggest to add an option to close that phrase for more comfortable in use of Goodnotes.

  20. Standard pencil feels too transparent and unrealistic. Please make it look more natural and much less transparent, more like a real colored pencil.
