1. Bullet list / Sub-bullet points

   Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

2. Notebook Synchronization

   Integrating a synchronization button within the three dots menu of a notebook would help synchronize it when working on it from a laptop or iPad, as there is a synchronization delay between the two devices. This would allow the user to avoid going back to the main menu to synchronize the notebook and then return to their work.

4. Writing while audio is paused.

   I use audio recordings to complete my notes afterwards. However, when I pause to start writing, the audio jumps to the beginning. In previous versions, as far as I remember, the audio stayed paused and my notes were added at that point, so when I replayed the audio, the notes appeared exactly where I wanted them to.

   (It works when the sidebar is large, but not when it is minimized)

6. Pin folders and notes to the top

   Please add a feature to pin folders and notes to the top regardless of their sort order. I believe this request has been made before, but it seems to have disappeared—perhaps merged with other requests—so I'm posting it again.

7. Writing Tools in Main Toolbar

   Thank you for improving the toolbar customisation with your latest updates to version 7.0.15.
   However, it would be very helpful, if it would be possible to have the writing tools also integrated in the main toolbar. I use the laser, the fountain pen, the highlighter and the eraser for presenting slides in my lectures. I have to switch very often between the writing tool and the laser during the lecture and with the current setup, there is always an extra click, when I want to switch between the laser and a writing tool, since I have to open first the writing toolbar and then select the right writing element. It would be much easier, if the writing tools would be integrated in the main toolbar. Alternatively, it would be helpful, if the laser could be integrated in the writing toolbar.

8. [Animations] Reduce opening animation time for folders and sidebars

   GoodNotes feels very slow and outdated when it comes to the slow animation when clicking on folders. Instead of feeling snappy and responsive the long animation leaves me feeling sluggish.

   The same goes for when I open the page view sidebar and the search sidebar. These slow opening animations are outdated and make GoodNotes feel unnecessary sluggish when compared to Notability’s snappy, simple animations.

9. Reporting issues regarding the update of floating toolbar

   Dear GoodNotes Team,

   As someone who has been using GoodNotes for nearly three years, I was quite surprised by the recent update. Since writing is very important to me and GoodNotes has been one of the best tools I have ever had, I wanted to share some feedback right away:

   1.  Thank you for finally adding the floating toolbar option. However, the current design has some issues. For example, since the toolbar now sits lower on the page, it reduces the available workspace and sometimes overlaps with the text, which is not ideal.
   
   2.  The new toolbar design limits access to tools due to its narrower layout. Previously, I could access several colors at once with a single tap, but now I can only see six colors and have to switch between them, which takes extra time.
   
   3.  The option to customize the toolbar is missing. For example, I never use the pencil tool and would prefer to hide it, as was possible in the previous design.
   
   4.  Regarding the floating toolbar positioning: when moving it to the left, right, top, or bottom, it always centers itself in that area. This limits flexibility. For instance, when placed on the right, I have to move my hand quite far down just to change a color. It would be more useful if we could freely adjust the toolbar’s vertical or horizontal position within each side.
   
   5.  I would suggest adding an option to switch between the old and new toolbar styles. Some users may prefer the previous design, which allowed quicker access to multiple highlight colors without extra clicks.
   
   6.  One new feature you could consider is a Night Mode, both for writing and for reading. This would make note-taking and studying at night much more comfortable and enjoyable.
   

   Thank you very much for your hard work and for continuously improving GoodNotes. I hope my feedback can help refine the experience further.

   Best regards
   Reza

12. Options Bar Update (October 2025)

    Every time I select anything on screen with the lasso tool the options bar pops up BELOW my selection. Once I go to click out of my selection, the trash button is in the way and deletes my writing. Why on earth would the options bar pop up below when holding down on the selected area results in ANOTHER bar popping up on top of the selection. Super annoying and frustrating when the new position of the tool bar makes me delete everything I select with the lasso tool.

13. Bring back the ability to draw straight lines

    After the latest update, drawing a straight line using the shapes tool is often impossible: If the line I'm trying to draw is close to another line it will snap to either a curved line or a straight line in a very different position from where I drew it. This is a major regression.

    In the attached picture, I drew a square and attempted (several times) to draw a diagonal straight line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. The first time it snapped to a vertical line, the second time it snapped to a horizontal line, the third and fourth time it snapped to some other curves. None were even close to what I was trying to draw.

16. font

    I found an issue where custom fonts installed on iOS (e.g., via the Bakey font app) do not appear in the font list when Goodnotes 6 uses the new Whiteboard-enabled UI.

    Here are the details:

    ✔ Old UI (no Whiteboard option)

    “New note” menu does not show the Whiteboard button

    Font toolbar is in the top ribbon

    Custom fonts appear normally

    ✔ New UI (with Whiteboard — released around Sep 25, 2025)

    “New note” menu includes a Whiteboard button

    Font toolbar becomes a floating popup near the text box

    Custom fonts do NOT appear in the font picker

    Happens across iPad and iPhone, regardless of device or OS version
    → This looks like an A/B rollout, and the new UI may not be loading user-installed fonts.

    ✔ Suggestion

    Please update the new Whiteboard text editor UI so that:

    Custom/user-installed fonts load correctly (same behavior as the old UI)

    Font picker remains consistent across UI variants

    A regression check is added to ensure custom fonts aren’t dropped during UI transitions

    Custom fonts are an essential part of many users’ workflows, so ensuring parity between the old and new UI would greatly improve the experience.

    Screenshots or screen recordings can be shared if needed.
    Thank you!

17. Add Opacity Control to Pen Tools

    I would like to suggest adding an opacity control (0–100%) to pen tools such as the fountain pen, ballpoint pen, brush pen, pencil, highlighter, and tape pen.

    This feature would allow for greater flexibility and precision in note-taking, highlighting, and creative work.

18. Draw on different LAYERS!

    Draw on different LAYERS!
    Hi I really would like to be able to do a sketch on a FIRST LAYER, then do a sketch on TOP on a SECOND layer..so that later I can still CHANGE the 1st layer underneath ( move, erase, change color, change size, copy etc..) WITHOUT affecting the LAYER ON TOP!!
    That would be a TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!
    Thanks!!

19. Lock the pencil toolbar in place

    I would like to have the option to have the pencil bar, that opens while I am using the pen tool, always in place. So that it stays when using the lasso for example.
    That way I would save a step because I rarely need the same pen/eraser I used before the lasso. Also it is really distracting when there regularly is the movement of it popping up and going away in my screen
