  1. ''Continuous Element Sticking Mode" / "Repeat Sticker Placement"

    I request the reintroduction of a feature or an option to enable
    "Continuous Placement Mode"
    for the Elements tool.

    ​Select the Element Tool.​Tap on an element(sticker, image, textbox.)
    from the Elements bar.

    ​The tool should remain active, allowing the user to tap repeatedly on the canvas to place the selected element multiple times until a different tool is selected (e.g., Pen, Lasso).

  2. GoodNotes is great, and I really like the audio recording feature. However, right now, recordings are only displayed as a list within the note, and their names are set by default and cannot be customized. This makes it hard to associate specific recordings with the content of the notes. My lecture notes are often very long (over 300 pages), and after some time, I have no idea which recording corresponds to which section of the notes. I hope GoodNotes can support a feature where a recording can be dragged or inserted directly into the document and displayed as an icon…

  3. 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.

  4. actually I use baidu cloud instead of iCloud, so it is very important for me that if it has other choices to synchronize my notes, especially if there is a choice that I can synchronize to Baidu cloud.

  5. Integrating Apple Intelligence alongside GoodNotes’ own AI features would enhance productivity and create a seamless workflow for users. While GoodNotes offers rewriting and correction tools, Apple Intelligence can complement these by providing faster, system-wide text improvements and edits. Users would still value and continue using the paid version, as GoodNotes’ unique AI capabilities and other premium features remain essential, making the app even more compelling overall.

  6. Hello Goodnotes Team,
    First of all, thank you for the amazing app. I use it daily, and it really improves my medicine study routine.
    I’d like to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool:
    When I draw a highlight over text, Goodnotes could automatically detect the height of the text (based on the difference between two points) and adjust the highlighter size to match it.
    This would make the highlighting process much smoother, since I wouldn’t need to manually select the thickness each time. It could work similarly to how text selection already detects line height, but applied to…

  7. I would like to be more specific in what I share over a screen. It would be great to have a Window in my file, especially now with the whiteboards, to Zoom in on an area and drag and drop in Items from outside the view of the shared screen. It's like in the App "Whiteboard Explain Everything".

  9. In the recent update they have some changes in toolbar, by choosing pen another bar will appear below the original blue toolbar, which will take more space for drop-down and leave fewer space for writing. As someone who often have pop-up video view while writing, it’s make me have to work will less space and have to often move the pop-up around a lot. Why don’t they just put the addition pen bar close-able or just put them back in the blue bar originally. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  10. I believe it would be amazing if we could have a document such as a text document and be able to draw on top of it. Now with all the new updates you cannot do that except with text boxes. For example, when you are following a class and need to put explanations and grafs or anatomical drawings etc. you must switch from one doc to another or even from one app to another. I believe text boxes aren’t that practical.
    I saw notability has this option but I prefer Goodnotes so I’ll stick with you <3

  11. Please disable this automatic line changing or increase the limit of words for line change. It doubles the work as again we have to stretch the box to make while text appear in single line.

    ERASE then
    LASSO something, then go back to
    PEN to keep drawing or writing.

  14. Add the possibility of remove the object area that anchorages writing, forms to a form.
    This new feature doesn't allow drawing over some figures and makes the drawing experience terrible on goodnotes.
    Let the user choose in he needs the area or not.

    It would also be nice to be able to draw geometric shapes that are more similar to those drawn by hand.
    For example, quarters and semicircles, which are currently transformed into parabolas.

  15. When you draw something and hold, there'll be a faded color of your pen inside the shape. The latest update make me couldn't delete the outline of the shape and that makes taking notes way worseee. I love those more than highlighting. PLEASE BRING IT BACKKKK I BEG.

  17. Goodnotes has implemented links to websites as well as internal pages for some time now. However, they are still incredibly cumbersome to use, especially for handwriters. I propose the following improvements:

    1) Internal links
    In most cases the page one wants to link to is already open in another tab or window side by side. But to create a link there we still have to navigate to this page again within the link creation dialogue.
    It would be faster and more intuitive to have an additional entry in the document menu and page browser to simply copy a link to…

  18. Scribble to delete is a nice feature. Unfortunately if turned on, it accidentally deletes drawings. Would it be possible to delete by scribble only at FAST pencil movements?

  19. Seit dem letzten Windows Update werden bei der automatischen Linienführung Rundungen in den Ecken erstellt. Dies sollte deaktiviert werden können. Ich nutze Goodnotes im Unterricht um Elektroschemas und Elektrosymbole zu zeichnen. Goodnotes ist das einzige mir bekannte Programm, welches diese Funktion so gut beherrscht. Daher empfehle ich es jedem Lernenden und jeder Lehrperson weiter. Bitte mit dem nächsten Update die automatische Linienführung mit Ecken wieder möglich machen.

  20. Seit dem letzten Windows Update ist die Grösse für geometrische Formen begrenzt. Kreise, Vierecke, Dreiecke können nicht so klein gemacht werden wie früher.
