Universal Color Palettes
Hello, could you all add the ability to have all of our colors be universal across all pens, pencils, sticky notes, text, and etc.? It is annoying trying to use a color that I know I have added with the pen but did not feel like adding to the pencil, text, and highlighter separately. Could we also have the ability to create color pallet groups? Similar to the one in procreate (Picture below). Sometimes it is over whelming trying to find a color. And most of my colors mimic my real life pen colors. So being able to place colors…

GoodNotes AI is Unnecessary
The new features feel unnecessary and almost like bloatware. Other LLMs, such as DeepSeek, Gemini, etc are AI tools that other companies, universities, etc have licenses with. The AI credits are also useless - what is the incentive to use GoodNotes AI vs DeepSeek, Gemini, GPT4, etc, if you need to pay $9.99 more per month.
There isn't a way to turn off AI in GoodNotes either, which is pretty frustrating.
A huge motivation for people to switch from Notability to GoodNotes was the better UI and affordability. Paying $9.99/month for AI credits, for a feature I haven't seen many…27 votes -
New Update
I know these are for a single complaint, however, the entire update is the issue and the app would be better reverted to the previous version.
This has been the worst update in a long time. First and foremost, the bookmark feature has been absolutely stripped on confidence and essentially ruined. Using the new text boxes is a nightmare - the new editing tool the sits next to the text box simply obstructs the document, is clunky, and makes editing the text boxes infinitely more difficult. Also, there is no longer the ability to use apple’s native ‘look up’ feature…

Revert shape resize to what it was in the Goodnotes 6 version.
Now, when the shape snaps, you can't edit its dimensions by dragging your pen, it only resizes larger or smaller. This is an issue because I have to change the tool to the shape tool to change the dimensions, and this has a minimum width. Goodnotes 6 had a good system where the shape snapped and then you could drag your pen to change the width/height of the box rather than just scaling it up or down.

Sync pencil settings between devices
Pencil settings like Color and thickness should be synced between all devices using the same GoodNotes account. So you can use the same Color for highlighters across all devices.

Fix shape editor. Return old UI!!
Put the old snare editor back. The new one is unintuitive and unhelpful. Instead of being able to edit a shape I get nonsensical points to move around.

Copy & Paste with Format
I would like to suggest adding a “Copy Format / Paste Format” feature to GoodNotes.
Currently, when adjusting text styles (font, size, color, spacing, etc.), users must manually change each element individually. A format copying tool—similar to the “Format Painter” in apps like Microsoft Word—would greatly improve efficiency and workflow.
With this feature, users could:
• Copy font style, size, and color
• Copy text box formatting
• Apply consistent formatting across multiple sections quickly
• Maintain clean and uniform note layoutsThis would be especially helpful for students and professionals who rely on structured and visually consistent notes.
Thank…

Back to technical drawing
As an aerospace engineer, it was essential for me to be able to draw curves and lines by connecting points without going crazy. Since the last update, if you connect multiple curved lines, the system interprets this function however it wants and gives it a shape completely different from what I intended. Moreover, if you create simple shapes like circles inside other figures, it’s no longer possible to rotate the entire drawing. Please go back to the old logic — it was 100 times better.

[Highlighter] Automatically Set Highlighter to Back Layer
I noticed that the recent update allows highlighter and other objects to be manually selected and then “send to back”. I like that this feature allows for highlighter to be positioned behind text, but it would be useful if there was an option to have that automatically done or to have the highlighter tool set to automatically send highlighter to back layer once a line is drawn using it. Adding a toggle on the highlighter menu so users can select to automatically have highlighter “send to back” would be amazing.

Allow text sizes below 8pt (1–7pt)
Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.
I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.
In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.
However, in previous versions, being able to use 1–7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
・ Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1–7pt)This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.
Thank you very much for your consideration.15 votes -
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.

Drawing on text document
Following the recent update which added the text document, I think that users should be able to have the option of writing, drawing and highlighting on the page. For me my study method is typing out my lecture notes in OneNote and then exporting to Goodnotes to highlight and annotate. However, if I was able to do this with the text document feature, it would make things so much easier. Not just for me but other users also.

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.

[Fountain Pen] Improvements
The good notes fountain pen does not write how a fountain pen should. A fountain pen has a metal nib that creates thin cross strokes and wide down strokes. The pen in good notes is the opposite with wide side strokes and thin down strokes. The apple notes fountain pen is perfect in recreating the look of an actual fountain pen. This is the only reason I have to stay with apple notes. The pen interface is the most important for me. Otherwise, I would use good notes.

Remove background for images
The tool similar to the one they have on word ( either the remove background, or set to transparent tool) for images… because I love to make aesthetic notes and it is so time consuming having to manually remove the background on images of third party tools and then import them into my notes
