Hi goodnotes is my go to app and searching accros 500 folders is becoming tedious so allowing pdf to have "tags" for example: my course note in algebra I put the tags "Course note" and "Algebra" and I can filter and find It in 2 seconds instead of putting it in favorite and look at all the others files that are favorited.

Change thickness of Writing After Already Written
It'd be very useful to be able to change the thickness of writing after I have already written something. I often forget to change the thickness when I write and when I go back to edit. Just expanding the written text is NOT the same and makes it very difficult. Often, I have to delete the text and rewrite it, which wastes a lot of time. I have a friend who complains about it too, so it's good to know it's not just me. But please... I need this.

Better combination of handwriting and typing
When taking notes using handwriting and typing with a keyboard case it’s often a struggle to change betweeen the tools.
When the writing tool is selected, I can’t type at all and have to long press on the page to select start typing / edit text. This is very annoying.
The writing mode isn’t very intuitive either. It would be nice to just start typing without clicking many buttons.3 votes -
GoodNotes 6 did this better. Bring those text features back.
I’m glad to see that some parts of the app have improved with the latest update. However, the text editing experience is still much less convenient compared to GoodNotes 6.
Why did you add the unnecessary “Modern, Classic, Technical” text panel in the text box? Please replace it with the “Recently Used Fonts” feature like in GoodNotes 6. Many users frequently switch between multiple fonts, so removing that feature truly makes no sense.
Also, I really hope you bring back the option to keep the font, size, and text settings fixed at the top like in GoodNotes 6. Something that…

Update 7.0.3 is re-shaping my closed shapes. And not in a good way.
Sorry, dear Goodnotes team, but sth is not cool with the new update 7.0.3 Whenever I want to draw a closed shape, it makes it all wobbly and creates some kind of text field out of it. What’s happening? How can I make it stop? I don’t need text fields, I use always my handwriting.

Give users "a button" that allows them to freely choose whether to enable or disable the liquid glass effect within the software!
Please completely disable the Liquid Glass dynamic effect for older devices (such as my iPad Pro 2018, 12.9-inch with A12X processor), or provide users with a "button" that allows them to freely choose whether to enable or disable this feature within the app!!!
(Before Apple required apps to support Liquid Glass effects as a condition for listing, GoodNotes ran extremely smooth and fluid! After recent updates, it has become laggy, frequently killed in the background, and suffers from delays.)
Since the app introduced the Liquid Glass effect a few months ago:
❶ Typing is noticeably sluggish, with an average delay…2 votes -
Bring back ability to erase/move shape fillings
Before, you could make a shape with a fill color, and erase the filler separately from the shape outline. Now, you can’t even erase the outline and leave just the filling, or vice versa.

Table Function
It would be really cool if we had a button again in the Windows version that you could click on and, like with the keyboard, click somewhere and a table would appear. After that, you can write in it, and if you need more lines/columns, you can press a small plus sign.However, there could also be a small window that appears beforehand when you click on the table icon, where you can select which layout you want.

Native table feature with directly typeable text fields
Currently, there’s no way to insert a real table in GoodNotes that you can type into directly with the keyboard — like you can in Apple Notes, for example. Right now you either have to draw the table entirely by hand (lines/shapes) and then place individual text fields for each cell, or import a finished table from Word/Excel as a PDF and overlay text fields on top of that as well. Both approaches are cumbersome, especially for larger tables.
It would be great if GoodNotes could add a native “Insert Table” feature where you set the number of rows and…

Add a way to close file navigator and return to document tabs
There are two view modes in Goodnotes:
- File navigation
- Documents tabs (the documents already open)
We can switch from 2 to 1.
But for some baffling reason there is no way to simply switch from 1 to 2. Instead there is only the contrived way of having to open any file in order to return to 2.
I do not know why Goodnote's UI/UX team has been thinking all these years that that be an okay solution. No other programme does this and it is counterintuitive.
Could you please add this? It's so easy to do. E.g. you could add…

Exact Phrase Search
Exact Phrase Search – The search function can sometimes be too broad. An “Exact Phrase search option would be very useful for finding specific words or phrases without unrelated results.
- Default Font for Sticky Notes – Please add an option to set a default font, font size, and formatting specifically for Sticky Notes, so users don’t have to manually change the font every time they create a new one.

Built-in browser
Built-in browser or web search panel
When working on a note, project, or research database, I often need to look up information on Google or check the reference on the website.
With an in-app browser or a small search panel, users can browse and take notes without leaving good notes, creating a smoother and more efficient workflow.

Outlined Pen / Drop-Shadow Ink for Photo Annotations
Hi Goodnotes Team,
I frequently use Goodnotes to annotate directly on top of imported photos and images. Because the current pens only output solid, single-color ink, my handwriting constantly gets lost in the dark or busy areas of the pictures.
It would be incredibly helpful to have a new pen tool—or a toggle for the existing pens—that automatically generates a contrasting outline (like white) or a subtle drop-shadow in real-time as I write.
Right now, I have to interrupt my workflow to draw highlighter backgrounds, duplicate text to create manual shadows, or drop in pre-saved shape elements just to make…

Advanced Editing for Images and Elements
I really like the feature that allows you to align Images and Elements with fixpoints that already are on a document.
The next evolution of this feature I'd really like to see would be the possibility to select wether you want and Image or a section of selected handwriting to respond to said fixpoints.
Sometimes when editing handwritten Text in a Document where you inserted a picture it is quite hard if not impossible to align it when it respons to a fixpoint.
A on of switch for the selected text or image or whatever to be able to deselect…2 votes -
List of approved email addresses for email import
I would be much more comfortable if only email addresses that I approved beforehand could send pdfs via email directly to my devices.
Similar to the implementation SAP Concur uses...
- you could add your own personal or work email address to your Goodnotes account.
- Only emails with pdf attachments originating from these approved addresses are then imported to the Goodnotes account.
- Emails originating from other accounts are automatically declined2 votes -
Long-press Apple Pencil to temporarily switch to eraser
I'd like to suggest a new feature for GoodNotes: when using Apple Pencil, long-pressing on the screen for a configurable duration (around 0.1–0.5s) would temporarily switch the tool to an eraser. The eraser would remain active until the pencil is lifted off the screen, after which it would automatically revert to the previous tool.
This would make erasing mistakes much faster and more convenient than double-tapping the pencil to toggle between pen and eraser, since it eliminates the back-and-forth switching and keeps the workflow smooth and uninterrupted.
Ideally, the long-press duration could be adjustable in settings to suit different users'…

Convert Handwritten Photos into Editable Digital Ink
I would love to see a feature that allows users to take a photo of handwritten notes and convert them into fully editable GoodNotes digital ink.
The key difference from importing a photo is that the handwriting itself becomes editable.
How it could work:
Take or Import a Photo
- Users can take a photo of handwritten notes from:
- Notebook page
- Loose paper
- Whiteboard
- Users can take a photo of handwritten notes from:
Convert Handwriting into Digital Ink
- GoodNotes AI analyzes the handwriting and reconstructs it as editable digital ink strokes.
- The converted notes should closely match the original handwriting style and layout.
Replace the Photo Background
- Instead of keeping…
