  1. With the new integration of Ai in Goodnotes, I would love to have the choice of Ai making a practice quiz based on my notes/slides presentation pdf you saves in goodnotes. I have two ideas:

    1. Ai makes practice questions based on your notebook and like the flashcards uses spaced repetition
    2. Ai can create a practice quiz, like multiple choice and matching

  3. I used to have a title of each notebook with a large font size. In the latest Goodnotes 7 I am unable to obtain a font larger than 100. That’s a problem. Can you help me with that?

  4. I would like to report an issue I’m experiencing while editing text on the iPad version of your app.

    When I select or edit a text box, the floating formatting toolbar appears directly over the text I’m working on. This makes it difficult to see the content underneath, especially when the text box is near the top of the page. The toolbar does not automatically reposition, and I cannot move it manually, so it constantly blocks my view.

  5. Design a novel user interface (UI) incorporating features and aesthetics reminiscent of the Liquid Glass technology employed in the iPhone. This design concept aims to create a sleek and distinctive visual experience.

  6. When you want to adjust the lenght of a Drawn line, a large Blue dot appears. This makes it impossible to Drag the line to the exakt Position you want. A magnifying Glass or a very small dot would be much more helpful here.

  7. Feature Request: Display Thinking and Reference Steps in GoodNotes AI Responses
    When asking questions to GoodNotes AI, I noticed that during the beta version, the AI appeared to show a visible thinking or preparation process while generating answers. However, in the official release, it only displays “Preparing answer…”.

    I would like to request that, similar to the beta version, the AI shows more detailed thinking and reference steps, such as what it is referencing and what it is preparing, during the response generation process.

    Having visibility into the AI’s reasoning and preparation process would improve transparency, trust, and the overall…

  8. I would like to request the addition of tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, and tip flatness options to the highlighter tool.

    With these features, the shape of the highlighter stroke could change depending on the tilt of the pen tip, and setting the tip flatness to 100% could produce a more angular, chisel-like highlighter shape rather than a rounded one.

    These controls are essential for achieving more precise, realistic, and professional highlighting behavior, and they would significantly enhance the flexibility and usability of the highlighter tool.

  9. I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.

    It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.

    If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…

  10. Improve shape snap. If I draw a heart, a cloud bubble, arrow, it changes to a square. Can we get better shapes, see picture example.

  11. Hi! After the latest GoodNotes 6 update, a small recording bar shows up on the top right when recording audio.
    It’s fixed there, and since I’m right-handed, I keep accidentally touching it while writing — which stops the recording 😭
    It would be great if we could move it or just have a small recording indicator in the main toolbar instead. That would make note-taking while recording so much easier!

    Thanks a lot for listening 💙

  13. The text editor bar now moves with the text when you type with the new update. This is very distracting due to the constant shifting of the items on the bar while trying to type and blocks the other information on the page. PLEASE FIX URGENTLY.

  14. I’m currently using an Apple Pencil tip that’s optimized for 0.38, so I usually set it to that thickness. However, the available options are only 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, which feels a bit limiting. It would be great if we could set more precise values like 0.38 or even 0.28 for finer control!

  15. I know that using "editable" PDF export, the outline is appended. But this type of export is absolutely huge and provides no use for someone to whom I just want to send my notes. It would be much appreciated to be able to export "flattened" PDF with outline.

  17. It would be nice if I could download only the documents I wanted. I have a small iPad mini capacity, but downloading all the documents makes the capacity so much that I can't even update the iPad os.

  18. GN recently took away the ability to do straight underling in favor of holding the pen until it snaps into place. I do a lot of underlining of study projects, and that was my most used feature. Now it is gone and it takes much more time to have to hold the pen for a straight line to snap into place. What is wrong with adding that button back into the annotation mix? I am sure I am not the only one who was dissapointed in this automatic new version. Is there a way to go back to the earlier…

  19. It's really annoying to erase the tape one by one
    There must be a lot of people who use it exclusively for learning
    Covering the entire tape It would be really convenient to put a function to cover the entire tape in the place of the tape tool, but it's a shame that there's no simple function like this. Whenever I turned the page, I covered it one by one, moved on, and bought it with money, but I think I can put in a simple function like this

  20. Subject: Feedback on Text Tool Usability with Magic Keyboard (iPad)

    Body:

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am writing to share some feedback and suggestions based on my experience using GoodNotes on an iPad with a Magic Keyboard.

    1. Difficulty Adding Text Over Images I frequently need to add text annotations on top of inserted images. However, even when I have disabled "Images" in the selection options, clicking or tapping on an image to add a text box often selects the image itself instead. This makes it difficult to type directly over images without unintended interruptions.

    2. Unintuitive Text Box Anchoring When I click…
