  3. Bring back previous text box behaviour

    Since the latest GoodNotes 6 update, the text box tool has become a bit annoying to use. Before, I could select the text box tool once and keep adding multiple text boxes without having to click it again each time. Now, after I add one text box, the tool automatically deselects, and I have to tap the text box icon again to make a new one. It makes writing notes much slower and less convenient. I’d really prefer if the old behaviour came back or if there was an option to keep the text box tool active.

  4. storage

    Fix Goodnotes Storage Management – This Is a Technical Disaster

    Goodnotes’ storage architecture is fundamentally broken. My actual library size is ~6 GB, yet the app is bloated to 27 GB on-device. This clearly indicates severe issues with cache invalidation, temporary file persistence, and orphaned/ghost data retention.

    Instead of performing routine garbage collection and data compaction, Goodnotes seems to endlessly accumulate redundant assets (thumbnails, partial syncs, stale caches). This is textbook storage leakage — exactly what happens when an app doesn’t properly implement lifecycle management for its local data.

    For an app marketed as a professional-grade productivity tool, this level…

  5. Support for handwriting recognition and search in Hebrew

    I am a regular user of your product and would like to suggest adding support for handwriting recognition and search in Hebrew. This would greatly enhance the experience for Hebrew-speaking users.

    Are there any plans to implement this feature in the future?

  6. Bring Back Continuous Scrolling Option (Disable Page Snap)

    Hi GoodNotes Team,

    Since the update to GoodNotes 6, vertical scrolling always snaps from one page to the next. This page snap makes it harder to review notes smoothly, especially when studying.

    Please bring back the option to disable page snapping and allow continuous scrolling, like in GoodNotes 5. This flexibility would really improve the learning experience.

    Thanks a lot!
    A loyal user

  7. tape

    Hi! The tape feature is such an incredible tool to help learning. I use it a lot to cover long answers in the exercises. Sometimes there are large areas to cover with tape and have to 'paint' it all. It would be interesting to have in this feature the possibility of drawing tape shapes, like squares and circles that I can resize.

  8. Pen thickness adjustment

    Allow the pen thickness adjustment have plus or minus options with/without slider
    Everytime it's annoying to adjust the slider for 0.05mm thickness with accuracy. It's time consuming to adjust stroke with careful slight movement.

    I hope you introduce the catalan language in hand writing recognition. At this point the feature is useless for me.

  11. Greek language in Goodnotes 6 .

    Dear Goodnotes 6 Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. As a member of the Greek-speaking community, I would like to kindly request the addition of the Greek language to your speech-to-text feature.

    The Greek language, with its rich history and vibrant community, is used by millions worldwide, including students, professionals, and academics who rely on tools like Goodnotes for their daily tasks. Enabling speech-to-text in Greek would significantly enhance the accessibility and usability of your app for a large portion of your user base. This feature would benefit not only native Greek speakers but also those learning the…

  12. Shape Library

    The existing shape tool uses a "draw and hold" feature to automatically recognize shapes. While useful, this can lead to incorrect shape detection, especially when drawing quickly in time-sensitive environments like college lectures. The tool may select the wrong shape, causing frustration and slowing down workflow.

    Implement an option to pre-select specific shapes (e.g., rectangle, circle, arrow, straight line) before drawing, similar to the shape selection tools available in Microsoft OneNote or Word. This would allow users to choose their desired shape in advance and draw it more quickly and accurately without relying on the shape recognition feature.

  14. Option to convert typed text into handwritten notes.

    It would be great to have an option to convert typed text to handwritten notes in your writing style using AI. This could be available in the select bar above the text field when you press on it, with a button labeled Convert to Handwritten Notes.

  18. Scribble to erase in zoom window

    Currently you are unable to use scribble to erase in the zoom window. I love the scribble feature and I’ve become very reliant on it that I can’t use the feature of the zoom window. I would love to use it and be able to see my full page but it is annoying having to undo or use the eraser

  19. improve text box usage

    Please improve the text boxes. I would like to be able to do superscript and subscript numbers. Every user that works in science needs this sooner or later. It would be a simple but very necessary improvement.

  20. when typing in double column

    When typing in a double column, only the left column is used and the right column cannot be typed. Please improve the left column typing so that the right column typing can also be connected naturally.
