  1. In the zoom window (top right) there are the buttons voor jumping to the next line, close the window and the 3 dots. Would it be possible to get these button in white instead of blue. Iam using iPads color filters in red when working in dark places like theaters........ And these buttons are really hard to see when using the colour filters. If they are white as the other buttons this will help. See picture of the buttons

  2. I would like to KEEP the minimalistic look of the READ ONLY MODE ( w LIGHT GREY toolbar with the option to HIDE it COMPLETELY by a (double-) tap on the document with finger) BUT HAVE THE LAST TOOL ENABELD like PENCIL/ PEN, as well..

    Mainly I want to EDIT my Document while in FULL SCREEN MODE without DISTRACTIONS!
    The blue bar is soo unnecessary when in deep writing mode and talkes wayyy too much space and whose COLOUR is NOT CUSTOMIZABLE, AT ALL sadly still!!
    WHY this HARD BLUE, all the time?!
    Thanks!

  3. Colour picker to PICK ONE SPECIFIC COLOUR to SELECT ONLY!!

    For example: only SELECT the grey pencil lines but DON'T SELECT the BLACK or RED PENCIL strokes nearby or on top!
    That we we can ALTER those specific lines ONLY!! ( For example colour change them afterward, copy paste or change size or move them only)
    Currently it's VERY TEDIOUS or IMPOSSIBLE to PICK SPECIFIC Lines when there are many..Would be GREAT for SKETCHING!! And that way we could SKETCH in ONE colour and draw in ANOTHER COLOUR on TOP and STILL be able to change the older lines below…

  7. I would like to suggest adding an "Erase Pen Only" option to the eraser tool.

    Currently, we have useful options like "Erase Highlighter Only" and "Erase Tape Only," but there's no way to erase just pen strokes without affecting other elements. This feature would help users make quick and precise edits without removing highlighters or tapes.

    I believe this small addition could significantly improve the user experience for many.

  9. Create an option for the users to hide tool bar and other tabs by hiding them in a drop down button. This enables the user to write in bigger and fuller screen.

    It would also be convenient to have an option for a floating tool bar where we can enable tools like just the pen, eraser, and lasso while writing in fullscreen mode.

  10. I love using the handwriting-to-text feature in Goodnotes!
    However, I’d really appreciate the ability to set a default font, line spacing and text size for converted handwriting.
    Right now, I have to manually change it every time, which interrupts my workflow.

    This feature would make the writing and editing process much smoother – especially for people who use Goodnotes regularly for structured notes.

    Thank you for considering this!

  11. Enable support for third-party, wireless presentation clickers (like those from Logitech) to control the existing laser pointer and navigation functions within GoodNotes, allowing users to present untethered from their iPad.

    WHY?
    The current laser pointer feature in GoodNotes is highly valuable for presentations. However, its control is limited to direct interaction via the Apple Pencil or touch screen. This forces the presenter (e.g., a teacher or lecturer) to remain physically at the iPad's location. Presenters need the flexibility to move freely around a room to engage with an audience, write on physical whiteboards, and maintain eye contact while still being…

  14. Hi! I've started using the new text document feature -- I really like it, however, I have notices that you cannot copy text from it and paste it elsewhere. I'm not sure if this is a bug/issue, but it should be possible.

    I've been having to share it to Notes app and copy from there.

    Seems like something that should be possible...
    Thanks!

  16. There should be a way to decide which files are downloaded onto each device that you are using with cloud storage so that it does not take up storage on all of your devices for the same files. (like with iCloud when a file is needed it gets pulled from the cloud but it is not taking up space on the device until then)

  19. 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.

  20. 現状ではノートを拡大した際に左右の端にスペースがなく、ノートの右端や左端(特に利き手側)に書き込みたいときにiPadから手が離れて不安定な状態になってしまいます。

    つきましては、拡大しても拡大前のように余白をある程度保つことで、ノートの端をなるべく画面中央部に移動させられるようにしていただきたいです。
