1. Automatic adjustment of internal links

   When duplicating a notebook, the internal links should be automatically updated. Currently, you're redirected to the original notebook. It's very time-consuming to have to update each link individually, for example, in an annual planner.

2. When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without

   I am a user of GoodNotes on a Microsoft Surface Studio (Windows version) . When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without manually resizing each time.

   Why it’s important:

   Saves time and friction: each time I start a new text box, I currently have to resize it manually.

   Provides a consistent look and layout across notes, especially when writing longer paragraphs.

   Makes Windows version closer in functionality to what iPad version has, enhancing cross-platform consistency.

   Suggestions for implementation:

   Option in settings: “New Text Box Default Width → Full Width / Custom / Last Size used”

   Or when opening a new note, automatically create a full-width textbox if “typing mode” is selected.

   Or long-press or modifier (e.g. shift-click) with Text Tool to start a full-width box.

3. selecting text using a cursor on ipad

   When selecting text on an iPad on a pdf, I have to hold down on a word and manually drag the selection as if I am using my finger. The drag function with a cursor on iPad is currently used to scroll through, but this is much less useful than using two fingers on a trackpad or a scroll wheel. Could the ‘drag cursor’ function please be reprogrammed to select text instead (like in every other application) please??

4. add support for game controllers(gamepads)

   I hope to add support for game controllers(gamepads) and the ability to customize key mappings, so that we can use the controller(gamepads) with my left hand to control which tool to use, and use Apple Pencil with my right hand to write. Not everyone has the latest Apple Pencil Pro, which makes it difficult for those without Apple Pencil Pro to experience the quick switching of pen tools.

5. Chinese Support in Audio Transcription Feature

   I recently learned about your experimental Audio Transcription feature, and I think it is an excellent tool for enhancing productivity and learning. However, I noticed that it currently does not support Chinese transcription. As a Chinese-speaking user, I believe adding Chinese support would significantly improve the accessibility and usability of this feature for a broader audience.

   For users like me, who frequently study in a multilingual environment, having Chinese transcription is essential. Many of my lectures, discussions, and study materials are conducted in Chinese, and the lack of this capability limits my ability to make full use of GoodNotes. Adding this feature would not only streamline my note-taking process but also help me retain and organize information more effectively, which is crucial for my studies.

   I believe that implementing Chinese support would be beneficial for countless users who rely on GoodNotes for academic and professional purposes. I sincerely hope that your team considers prioritizing this enhancement in future updates. Pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

   Please bring back the old method of being able to tap anywhere on screen to show the sticker menu and have the sticker placed exactly where you tapped on screen. The new method of tapping the sticker icon in the toolbar, selecting a sticker, the. Having to find the sticker randomly placed on the page, then move it where it’s required is such a backwards step and waste of time!

8. Optimization Issues in GoodNotes for iPad on Apple M-Series Chips

   This proposal summarizes optimization issues that include chronic overheating, performance degradation, and user experience problems occurring in the GoodNotes iPad app, even on high-performance Apple Silicon devices such as the M1 iPad Pro and newer models equipped with M-series chips.

   The core objective of this proposal is to respect the hardware constraints of the iPad’s fanless design while fully leveraging Apple Silicon–specific hardware accelerators, including the Apple Neural Engine (ANE), through a truly native architecture approach. By optimizing GoodNotes in accordance with Apple Silicon hardware characteristics, the app should regain a “Pro-level” stability where users no longer need to restart their device simply to restore normal pen input performance.

   During long-term usage (e.g., university undergraduate students using GoodNotes continuously for 6–8 hours or more while attending classes), performance gradually degrades. As a result, users are forced to quit the app or reboot their device to recover a usable writing experience. Despite updates released after the introduction of GoodNotes AI, these issues persist repeatedly. This strongly suggests severe internal memory fragmentation and resource leaks.

   Due to these unresolved issues, many users who wish to use GoodNotes 6 are compelled to downgrade to GoodNotes 5, even after purchasing both versions, simply to maintain basic usability.

   The following issues are still observed:

   • Blurred page rendering when zooming into scanned documents or large PDF files

   • Charging repeatedly stopping around 80% due to thermal protection (thermal throttling) during use

   • The iPadOS system forcibly reducing screen brightness due to excessive heat generated while using GoodNotes, resulting in very dim displays

   • Severe scroll stuttering when AI responses are being generated, while recording audio, when scrolling text content, or when interacting with page layouts—scroll lag occurs across nearly all scrollable UI areas

   • Unintended page jumps to the very top or bottom when scrolling through document pages

   • AI analysis (indexing/preparation phase) frequently remaining stuck at 0% for extended periods

   • Severe pen input lag and intermittent stroke interruptions

   • Excessive device overheating

   • For students who must use GoodNotes for extended periods on campus, enabling Low Power Mode combined with audio recording, simultaneous handwriting, and GoodNotes AI usage causes critical issues such as pen input interruptions and uncontrolled scroll jumps

   • When deleting pages, importing images, or adding/removing pages via the page layout feature, deleted data is not properly removed from the GoodNotes archive. “Ghost files” remain, and imported documents (entire files or partial pages) are duplicated in full, resulting in massive storage bloat and triggering AI network errors

   Additionally, it would be highly beneficial to introduce an automatic resource-aware control mechanism. When Low Power Mode is enabled, or when the device begins to overheat or approach critical thermal thresholds, background-intensive processes such as AI indexing, document analysis, and spell-checking should be automatically paused or temporarily suspended. This would prevent unnecessary thermal throttling, reduce system-wide performance degradation, and preserve core interactions such as pen input and scrolling responsiveness during active use.

   These issues have been present since the release of GoodNotes 6 and remain unresolved to this day. As many of these problems also existed in earlier versions, meaningful optimization and fundamental architectural improvements are urgently needed rather than continued deferral.

   This proposal summarizes optimization issues that include chronic overheating, performance degradation, and user experience problems occurring in the GoodNotes iPad app, even on high-performance Apple Silicon devices such as the M1 iPad Pro and newer models equipped with M-series chips.

   The core objective of this proposal is to respect the hardware constraints of the iPad’s fanless design while fully leveraging Apple Silicon–specific hardware accelerators, including the Apple Neural Engine (ANE), through a truly native architecture approach.

9. Toolbar disappear

   I like the new update, especially where you can make the toolbar disappear, but still write. I want it to stay gone when I double-tap my Apple Pencil to erase. It increases space on the page with it gone, but I would love to be able to switch to my erase (by double-tapping), and not have it pop back up.

10. Joining pages together for cross stitch

13. Expand Pencil Grades and Add a Mechanical Pencil Tool in GoodNotes

    I would like to suggest expanding the pencil tool in GoodNotes by adding a full range of pencil hardness options, including:

    12B, 11B, 10B, 9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H, and 10H.

    In addition, it would be great to include a mechanical pencil (sharp pencil) tool, which would be especially useful for precise writing, diagrams, and technical notes.

    These additions would provide users with more realistic and flexible drawing and writing experiences, similar to traditional pencils.

14. Add PDF Editing Features to Correct Typos and Layout Issues

    I often import lecture PDFs into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. However, the materials uploaded by professors or instructors are rarely 100% free of typos or layout errors. These mistakes can sometimes confuse GoodNotes AI, and when typos exist, I often end up importing a blank white page and manually re-typing the corrected text using the text or pen tools.

    As PDF editing is becoming increasingly important, I would like to suggest adding built-in PDF editing features that allow users to directly correct typos and fix layout issues within PDFs. This would make it possible to view and work with corrected text and properly adjusted layouts, without relying on workarounds such as overlaying new text or images.

    Such a feature would significantly improve both note-taking efficiency and AI accuracy when working with lecture materials.

15. Add AI Model Selection and File Attachment Features to GoodNotes AI

    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 users to choose whether the AI should respond based on:

    the current document only,

    the document plus web search, or

    web search only.

    In addition, a Deep Research mode would be highly valuable for more in-depth analysis and long-form answers.

    Finally, regarding attachments: currently, users can only attach images or text via the Lasso Tool. It would be very helpful if users could:

    reference and attach other GoodNotes documents,

    import files from iCloud, OneDrive, or Google Drive, and

    attach external files such as images or PDFs directly to the AI prompt.

    The number of files that can be uploaded or attached could be differentiated based on the user’s AI Pass tier or subscription level.

17. Full Page Typing mode

    In one of the last Updates the full page typing mode was removed and now you have to hold down the add textbox button and do 3 more extra steps. Please bring back the old option where you could just click in the nav-bar the option for keyboards and start working. Again this is now just extra complicated and all in all a downgrade.

19. Change the typing options back to how it used to be

    There used to be 2 options to Type on a page, the Text Box and the whole screen text field. It used to be so easy to acces the whole page typing mode, and to edit it later on, which it now isnt. Having one button to get back to the feature would save so much time and ones work flow, because the way you access it right now is really inconvenient. Same thing goes for the text box - this little widget with options to edit the text font etc. is always in the middle of the screen covering exactly where I’m typing. (Look at picture) Like that I can’t really use that option to type anything, which defeats its whole purpose.
    Please change the utilities back to how they were, because I used to be able to utilise it really effectively.
