Eliminate hover in windows
It's very annoying, the hover effect they recently added to GoodNotes on Windows. Visually, it makes my eyes get tired quickly when I move the mouse over the document.

Please revise the shape snap after latest update and the new arrow feature
So I don't hate the new update, but there are some things that could be a little better. Then new tool bar is taking a bit to get used to, but I genuinely like it. One of my biggest problems is the updated snap to shape. I would like to Goodnotes to snap into shape, but I would like it closer to what I am trying to draw. For example, Goodnotes will not snap into a hexagon to draw organic molecules.
On another note, I see real potential with the arrows for the new shape update. I really like the…

Convert typed text into your handwritten Notes in your own handwriting style

Revert change for making shapes change to one line style
A recent update made it so that if I draw 2 differently colored lines originating from the same point and then connected them with a 3rd differently colored line it converts the original 2 lines to be that 3rd color. As a math/engineering student this makes it impossible for me to draw things like vectors with 2 different colors because the app will just automatically convert them to the same color. Please revert this change!

Feature request: Inline LaTeX support for typed text in GoodNotes
Hi GoodNotes team,
I’m a heavy GoodNotes user on [iPad / Mac / iPhone] and I absolutely love using the app for studying and taking math/technical notes.
I’ve noticed that GoodNotes currently doesn’t support inline LaTeX rendering in regular typed text (for example, writing $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ in a text box and having it render as nicely formatted math). I know you have great math / equation tools, but those generate separate equation objects rather than letting us mix math and normal text seamlessly in the same paragraph.
For students and professionals in math, statistics, physics, engineering, and…

Improve handwriting to text converter by removing newlines
Right now, when I convert my handwriting to text with the lasso tool, it also converts all the newlines. Any time I went to the next line because the line was full, the text now does to too. However, since text is more space-efficient, the newlines are placed randomly. There is no fast way of removing them, and when I ask AI to do it, it always changes some words as well, which I don't want. Can there be a way the converter understands my page layout or a button that just removes all newlines at once?

Feature Request: Collapsible Sidebar Navigation for Quick Document Switching (Like OneNote)
Dear GoodNotes Team,
I am an academic researcher who relies heavily on GoodNotes for managing extensive libraries of notes, e-textbooks, and research data.
I would like to propose a specific workflow improvement that combines the best of OneNote’s navigation with GoodNotes’ tab system.
The Concept: I suggest adding a collapsible sidebar (File Tree) on the left while in editing mode. However, the interaction should work specifically as follows:
Sidebar Visibility: While editing a note (e.g., "Biochemistry"), I can toggle open a left sidebar that shows my entire folder/file structure (similar to OneNote).
Action: When I click on a different file…

Window and GoodNotes (Apple) Integration
On Windows 11, the GoodNotes app doesn't work as well as I would like.
The documents written in GoodNotes doesn't sync onto the Windows 11 app. Instead, I have to share them VIA a link and access them that way. I also use gDrive to sync my GoodNotes, but the UI of viewing GoodNotes files on gDrive is just ... ugly... Would much rather prefer to use GoodNotes on Windows 11 and my iPad.6 votes -
Let users remove all AI bloat from app
I am not going to pretend that NOBODY uses Goodnotes AI but lets be real here, you guys must read what people say online, it is NOT as popular as the updates and focus on AI would make you believe.
But just because its trendy and a fraction of people use it, the rest of us are forced to have this stuff taking up spaces and hogging resources when it provides us with no use whatsoever.
In an ideal world you would have classic Goodnotes being worked on and improved consistently and then a separate Goodnotes AI app for the…

Different Interface and tools
The new update is terrible, the toolbar I don't mind very much (annoying but I can live) but the shape features are absolutely terrible. Before the new update I could make circles at an angle and trapezoids to my liking, and perfect right angles (stem major so every important) and now the only thing I can draw are ovals straight across, I cant even make a trapezoid, when I use the hold feature to draw a right angle it doesn't come out a perfect right angle it is always slightly off, and when I use the shape feature to make…

Hope you can change back to the previous design for the tool, recording and save my fav's setting
Hi, I'm an iPad user. The new design is currently very inconvenient to use. The floating design of the writing toolbar feels awkward and cramped. Moreover, bugs occur when switching to other tools. The recording tool occupies too much space, and the large, noticeable logo during recording makes me feel unsafe. Additionally, having to open the toolbar to record is very troublesome. After clicking to record, switching to check slides is cumbersome because it requires multiple clicks. To bookmark important slides quickly, you must first open the tool list, then add them, which is very inconvenient. I really hope it…

Audio recordings improvement for new Update
The new update is not user-friendly at all. The toolbar is difficult to use, and this is especially evident in the audio recording feature. When you start recording, a separate window appears outside the toolbar, taking up screen space and getting in the way. In the previous version, recording was indicated only by a small discreet icon in the toolbar, so writing wasn’t interrupted.
In addition, when you play back the recording, every time you want to stop it and play it again, another unnecessary panel pops up on the left side of the screen, making the process time-consuming.Overall,…

Highlighter synchronization on iPad and MacBook
It would be nice if the highlighters and pictures you insert on the MacBook would not change its position on my iPad. whenever i highlight something on my iPad or on my MacBook or even insert a picture, the same page on the other device is a little shifted and not on the original position.
I uploaded a picture: I wrote the text on my MacBook and highlighted on my iPad. The highlighter on the my MacBook was then shifted from its original position on my iPad. The highlighter on my iPad is still on the original position.6 votes -
Handwriting to text capitalization issue
Before the last major update, I never had issues with handwriting to text conversion capitalizing the first letter of the first word of the first sentence. Since the update, I have to rewrite the word (sometimes twice) to get it to recognize it's the beginning of a paragraph. Don't seem to have the issue once the first sentence is completed. This is time-consuming and frustrating, so a fix would be much appreciated.

TAPE UPDATE
I really would love the option to HIDE ALL or SHOW ALL tape in a notebook. Would be very useful as I use the tape feature to test myself on my professors lecture slides it is 100+ slides to go thru.

Handwriting Refinement
Apple Notes has a neat feature which organically refines your handwriting. This could be a really great feature to ensure handwriting looks appealing. I believe this could be easily implemented to ensure all writing looks writing!
