2. Save photos taken through Goodnotes to the Photos app

   Save photos to the Photos app – Photos taken directly through Goodnotes should optionally be saved to the device’s Photos app. This would make it much easier to share, organize, and compile them outside of Goodnotes.

3. Let us record normally without requiring “record and summarize”

   Can’t figure out a way to record without the dumb AI features. Unknowingly used all my credits in the span of an hour because I couldn’t just record audio and it forced me to do the ai summarize too. So annoying

4. Stop moving the image after cropping

   It's a bit irritating that the entire image moves when I crop it, when I already have markings on it with the perfect positioning. I would prefer it, if it stays in the same place

6. Searchable comments

   The comment pop-up should be resizeable like in Adobe Acrobat.. Also I'd like to be able to add pictures in the comments to make my notes decluttered. And the text should be editable (like in the regular ...bullet points, bold etc)

7. Please bring back our peaceful everyday lives!!! Why the latest update is so bad.

   I’ve been using Goodnotes every single day for years. I truly appreciated its clean interface and powerful features that supported my workflow. But the most recent update has drastically changed that, in all the wrong ways.

   I kept telling myself, “This update must be useful. I just need to give it time and get used to it.”
   So I patiently tried using it for several days, but in the end, I came to the conclusion that this update is harming my mental well-being.

   Let me outline a few reasons why this update has made the experience worse:

   • Inability to draw proper straight lines
   

   I often draw lines at various angles, but now the shape tool struggles with even basic diagonal lines. Why am I getting curves when I clearly intend to draw straight lines? Also, I can’t fine-tune the endpoints of lines by holding the pen anymore.

   • Eraser placement is inefficient
   

   Accessing the eraser now requires tapping into the pen tool. However, the eraser should always be one tap away, whether I’m using the shape tool or lasso. Hiding it under another layer slows down the process and creates unnecessary friction.

   • No way to draw complex polygons
   

   After the update, how am I supposed to draw pentagons or anything more complex? The shape tool turns them into circles, and of course, the long-press method(pen tool) can't help it.

   Additionally, sometimes I want a filled shape, and sometimes I don’t. But now I can’t erase just the fill color with the eraser tool — I have to turn off the fill option manually every time when I want to draw non filled shapes. That’s very inconvenient.Why must I toggle the “fill” option every single time? Let us erase just fill color like we could before.

   Editing shape points is also more cumbersome now—you have to tap them individually just to adjust. And rotation is inexplicably removed. Why take away such essential control?

   Oh, and by the way—parabolas? Gone.

   Many of the features that made me choose Goodnotes in the first place have vanished.

   Maybe there are some benefits to this update, but I haven’t found any. More importantly, why remove existing functionality that worked perfectly fine? That’s not an improvement—it’s a regression.

   Please, give us a way to revert to the previous version. I just want to return to the smooth experience I had before. Please bring back our everyday peace.

8. Presenter notes not mirrored onto an externally connected screen

   Ich wünsche mir eine Erweiterung der bereits vorhandenen gelben Haftnotizen (“Sticky Notes”) um eine Option, mit der diese Notizzettel – inklusive ihres Inhalts – nicht auf einen extern angeschlossenen Bildschirm oder Beamer gespiegelt werden.

   Anwendungsfall:
   Beim Präsentieren oder Unterrichten über einen externen Monitor/Beamer möchte ich mir private Notizen, Stichpunkte oder Erinnerungen auf einem Sticky Note direkt auf meinem eigenen Gerät (iPad) machen können, ohne dass diese für das Publikum auf der Leinwand sichtbar sind – ähnlich wie ein “Presenter-Notizen”-Modus, wie man ihn z. B. aus PowerPoint kennt.

   Gewünschtes Verhalten:

   • Der Notizzettel bleibt auf dem eigenen Gerät sichtbar und bearbeitbar.
   • Auf dem gespiegelten/externen Display erscheint an dieser Stelle entweder gar nichts oder eine leere Fläche.
   • Idealerweise als Umschalt-Option pro Notizzettel oder als generelle Einstellung wählbar.
   

   Nutzen:
   Dies würde GoodNotes deutlich praktikabler für Lehrkräfte, Vortragende und Präsentierende machen, die während einer Bildschirmübertragung private Notizen, Regieanweisungen oder Zeitmarken benötigen, ohne diese versehentlich mit dem Publikum zu teilen.

10. Make it quicker again

    Goodnotes has become more cumbersome and slower with the latest update. I now need two clicks to switch between pens and the laser pointer. When I have images, there is now always a white border at the top of the projection, and I first have to switch to read-only mode to display the image in full screen.
    The fold-out toolbox also takes up space on the screen.
    Adding to favorites also requires one more click.
    The updates have only increased the amount of work involved and represent a deterioration. On the other hand, I don't need AI or sound recordings. The new features take up space and displace existing ones.
    I would suggest that Goodnotes really allow you to customize it however you want. Without the AI button or record button, everything would still fit as before.

12. Grid spacing and ruler should follow standard measurements (2 squares = 1 cm)

    I would like to suggest aligning the grid spacing and the ruler in GoodNotes with common measurement standards.
    In many countries (for example in Europe), squared paper follows a standardized pattern where two squares equal exactly 1 cm. This standard is widely used in schools, universities, and technical work.
    Currently in GoodNotes, however, two squares correspond to about 1.12 cm when measured with the built-in ruler. Because of this mismatch, the ruler becomes difficult to use for precise measurements or technical sketches. Lines drawn using the grid do not correspond correctly to real-world measurements.
    This can be especially inconvenient for students, engineers, architects, or anyone who relies on accurate spacing when sketching diagrams or technical drawings.
    Suggestion:
    * Adjust the grid so that 2 squares = exactly 1 cm, matching common squared paper standards.
    * Ensure the digital ruler corresponds precisely to the grid spacing.
    Alternatively, it could also be helpful to provide a “standard metric grid” option in the template settings.
    This change would make the ruler far more practical and would allow GoodNotes to better replicate real squared paper used in education and technical fields.

    Thank you for considering this improvement

13. Visible route / direct link back to the document home folder

    Visible route / direct link back to the document home folder. When working on a document and leaving it open amongst several other open documents… what folder is the open document link to? What is the route back to that folder? I have many ‘orphaned’ documents that I’d like to link to others…if I knew which folder they were in!?

14. IOS Translate

    Hi Goodnotes team,

    I’d love to see native iOS Translate support added to Goodnotes.

    In many iOS apps, when you select a piece of text, the standard context menu includes a Translate option. Tapping it immediately opens Apple’s built-in translation interface and lets you translate the selected text into your preferred language.

    Currently, this option doesn’t seem to be available when selecting text in Goodnotes. It would be extremely useful, especially for people who use Goodnotes for studying, reading, or working with materials in foreign languages.

    It would be great if Goodnotes could support the native iOS Translate action directly from the text selection menu, so users could translate selected text without having to copy it and switch to another app.

15. Keyboard typing synchronization during audio recording playback

    English: Hello! I would love to suggest a feature improvement based on an issue I've run into. When I used my Apple Pencil to take notes while recording audio, I loved how the playback showed my handwriting stroke by stroke in sync with the audio. Since I switched to typing with my keyboard a few months ago, I noticed it only displays the entire paragraph at once once you finish typing. It would be amazing if the keyboard typing could also sync up and display word-by-word or letter-by-letter in real time during audio playback, just like the Apple Pencil.

    Spanish: hola, cómo están? Es para sugerir la solución a un problema que se me ha venido presentando, antes copiaba con mi Apple Pencil y grababa la clase y me encantaba porque cuando escuchaba el audio mostraba lo que iba copiando, pero hace unos meses estoy copiando con teclado y veo que no es lo mismo ya que aparece es cuando uno termina de copiar todo el párrafo completo, sería muy útil que también fuera como con el Apple Pencil y mostrará literalmente letra por letra cuando uno va copiando pero en teclado.

    - Tap anywhere on screen and the elements dropdown shows
    - tap on an element to paste it onto the page in the location that was originally tapped
    - if more elements are needed, continue to tap in screen where you would like the element then select the element from the dropdown.

19. Where is my "copy" option when using the lasso tool?

    Oh... that's where the copy tool is! Buried behind the ( . . . ) menu, so now in layer two of the context menu when I have circled content I want to copy and move.

    Why?

    And I do realize there is a Duplicate option but I don't want to drag my content around behind me, I want to have the copied content ready to be pasted multiple times over without it visibly overlaying other content which Duplicate does.

    But maybe I am just super old fashioned and want to copy and paste content all the time and therefore I get frustrated by all the extra taps to get to "Copy"?

    Please, just please, make your menu options WAY more flexible or stop rolling out changes for a while.

    Fix Goodnotes Storage Management – This Is a Technical Disaster

    Goodnotes’ storage architecture is fundamentally broken. My actual library size is ~6 GB, yet the app is bloated to 27 GB on-device. This clearly indicates severe issues with cache invalidation, temporary file persistence, and orphaned/ghost data retention.

    Instead of performing routine garbage collection and data compaction, Goodnotes seems to endlessly accumulate redundant assets (thumbnails, partial syncs, stale caches). This is textbook storage leakage — exactly what happens when an app doesn’t properly implement lifecycle management for its local data.

    For an app marketed as a professional-grade productivity tool, this level of inefficiency is unacceptable. Users shouldn’t be forced into a delete-and-reinstall cycle just to reclaim wasted storage. Implement proper cache eviction policies, file system hygiene, and background storage optimization. Until then, Goodnotes is less of a note-taking tool and more of a storage black hole.
