  3. Add a pressure-sensitive eraser that lets users adjust the pressure level. Different pressure intensities determine when the eraser function is activated.

  4. Please introduce a theme customization feature in Goodnotes.

    It would be great if users could personalize the app by selecting their own colors or applying themes from a theme store.

    In addition to light and dark mode, please allow customization of the writing UI, menu colors, and background styles as well.

  6. The Masking Tape feature is extremely useful for memorization practice.

    However, during repetitive active recall study, users currently need to manually hide each revealed masking tape again before testing themselves another time.

    This becomes tedious when many masking tapes are used on a single page.

    An optional “Auto Re-Hide” mode would solve this problem.

    Example:

    • Tap to reveal
    • After a user-defined delay (1s / 3s / 5s etc.), the masking tape automatically hides again

    This would create a much smoother flashcard-like study experience and improve memorization efficiency significantly.

    The feature could remain completely optional and be turned ON/OFF depending on…

  7. I've noticed that my handwriting looks significantly better and smoother when using the Laser Pointer (Trail style) compared to any of the permanent pen tools.
    The laser pointer seems to have a superior smoothing algorithm and lower latency that isn't currently replicated by the "Stroke Stabilization" settings on the standard Ball Pen. I would like to request a new pen type or a "Laser Mode" toggle for the Ball Pen that uses this exact rendering engine for permanent notes.
    This would help users with slight hand tremors or those who find writing on glass difficult to achieve the same clean,…

  8. Right now, when I convert my handwriting to text with the lasso tool, it also converts all the newlines. Any time I went to the next line because the line was full, the text now does to too. However, since text is more space-efficient, the newlines are placed randomly. There is no fast way of removing them, and when I ask AI to do it, it always changes some words as well, which I don't want. Can there be a way the converter understands my page layout or a button that just removes all newlines at once?

  10. On Windows 11, the GoodNotes app doesn't work as well as I would like.
    The documents written in GoodNotes doesn't sync onto the Windows 11 app. Instead, I have to share them VIA a link and access them that way. I also use gDrive to sync my GoodNotes, but the UI of viewing GoodNotes files on gDrive is just ... ugly... Would much rather prefer to use GoodNotes on Windows 11 and my iPad.

  12. Recently, the lasso tool seems to have changed — if I select just a small part of a circle’s edge, it also selects anything crossing or inside the circle, even though I didn’t include them. It didn’t work like this before.

  13. Hi, so I use Goodnotes mainly for math. The way I use it it by downloanding the PDF of a book, read it chapter by chapter and do the exercised on a sticky note inside of the book. The problem is that the sticky note often covers up the exercise (if I have a long exercise) and i have to constantly move the sticky note around when I want to read it again. It would be cool if one could make the stickynote transparent, either permanently or toggle transparent when long holding on the sticky note. Thank you!

  14. In Nursing school, we take a lot of notes. I'm sure other subjects else too. But I wish I didn't have to scroll through dozens of pages to find something. I wish I was able to add a little tab on the side, color code it and name it. I know you can "flag" It but it's not very helpful because I have to open the side and then try to find the one page I flagged.
    For example. If I download a book - I have to scroll through all the pages to look for the chapters. If the…

  15. You can repeatedly download whiteboard templates for some reason which caused my “imported from marketplace” section to be spammed with the same few templates. Would be great to have a way to delete them

  16. Allow us to form perfect arrows when using draw and hold. It often slows my progress switching between the Pen Tool and the Shape Tool, and I'd much rather have the ability to automatically make an arrow using draw and hold, just like other shapes

  17. Feature request:

    Hi GoodNotes team,

    I would like to suggest a feature for better dark mode note-taking.

    When the page background is dark, it would be very helpful if pen colors could automatically reverse or adapt for visibility. For example, black handwriting could appear white on a dark background, while still preserving readability.

    Also, when exporting notes, please allow users to choose whether the handwriting should be exported as black or white. This would be especially useful because notes that look clear on a dark background may become hard to read when exported or printed.

    Suggested options:

    Auto-invert pen color…

  18. This option adds a 2,5 inch margin at the right side of the document for annotating. The margin is collapsible afterwards or can be kept open permanently. This way one can annotate on PDFs with tiny margins without having to compress all the info.

  19. Those that use the standard versions of Goodnotes for growing minds/education need locks/parent control features. More recently Goodnotes added Ai and math assist which while I could see the benefits of these features, without having locks or parental controls added the student/child would always have the answer at their fingertips. Never having to learn to do math problems, Spelling, ect. on their own. With Locks/pin required for special features it would giver the owner the ability to use as needed.
