  1. On iPad, when using Stage Manager (Show Mode), minimizing an app window does not behave as expected. Instead of collapsing or disappearing, the minimized window remains visible as a shrunken panel stuck at the edge of the screen. This creates visual clutter and interferes with multitasking, since the window continues to occupy space even though the user intended to minimize it.

  2. Geodreieck:
    Wie viele andere Nutzer Wünsche auch ich mir ein Geodreieck. Dazu möchte ich, dass die Kästchen bei der karierten Vorlage angepasst werden(1Kästchen=0,5cm).
    Text:
    Das neue Update hat das Tippen auf der ganzen Seite verkompliziert.
    Vorher waren Tippen und Tippen auf der ganzen Seite getrennt, jetzt muss man immer lange gedrückt halten, damit man auf der ganzen Seite tippen kann.

  4. The font on the flash card should be able to be edited, and/or you should be able to scroll through the text on the flash card if the entire text is not readable on the card.

  5. hoping for having a notebook of infinite canvases, so it’s easier to jump between canvases and that the organization is less disseminated compared to just folders, similar to onenote

  6. Share a note to other users without having to backup everything on the app. I think we already paid a lot of money to this app. We should be able to share notes without icloud like Google sheets, docs or Canva. And we can share on those apps for free. Goodnotes should have their own cloud at least for the note sharing option!

  7. It would be really helpful if you could type like on word with regular line break and just leave space for drawing/graphics. That would be perfect

  8. When choosing the tool , the new drop down bar stays there until you click it again to hide it. Can it be made to auto-hide after a couple seconds of not being interacted with?

    i.e. click the pen tool and the drop down for pen, eraser, pencil, highlighter shows up and takes up more space.

  9. While attending class, I usually record the lecture and then study again at home by listening to the recording. However, after updating to version 7.0, the following inconveniences have arisen.

    First, the recording bar takes up too much space on the screen. Before the update, it was fixed on the top bar, so it didn’t interfere with the slides. But now that it has changed into a bar form, it can’t be minimized, and it just floats around the screen, which is very inconvenient.

    Second, every time I press the play button, a pop-up window appears on the left side,…

  10. The last update brought up the new window which comes up when importing a new pdf document or picture. In that windows you can select if you want to open the document in a new file or put it into an existing notebook. It would be great if you can add a setting possibility to preselect one of these options. I'm never using the possibility to import as a new document but with the new update I'm forced to make a few more clicks now which is annoying.

  11. 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.

  12. Feature Request: Add File Replace Option When Importing Files with the Same Name
    When importing a file with the same name, GoodNotes currently brings it in as a new document and renames it as “filename 2.”
    However, sometimes instead of importing it as a new document, it would be better to overwrite/replace the existing file.

    When the file being imported has the same name as an existing file, it would be great if a prompt appeared asking whether the user wants to:

    Overwrite the existing file,

    Import as a new file, or

    Cancel the import.

    Adding this overwrite option would…

  13. 안녕하세요. 저는 수업에 활용하기 위해 굿노트를 사용합니다.
    다른 어플이 아니라 굿노트를 선택한 이유는
    화면 미러링을 통해 텔레비전에 아이패드 화면을 띄울 때
    프레젠테이션 모드에서 진행자 페이지 미러링을 선택하면
    학생들에게 다른 인터페이스는 보이지 않기 때문입니다.
    특히 스플릿뷰를 통해서 굿노트 옆에 다른 어플을 켜서 활용해도
    학생들에게는 보이지 않는 점이 가장 편했습니다.
    굿노트 왼쪽에 다른 어플을 두면 새로 켠 어플과 굿노트 화면이 모두 뜨고
    굿노트 오른쪽에 다른 어플을 두면 굿노트 화면만 떠서
    다양한 방식으로 활용할 수 있는 점이 좋았어요.
    그런데 아이패드 업데이트 후에 굿노트를 사용하다가 다른 어플을 스플릿뷰로 켜면
    무조건 굿노트와 다른 어플 화면 모두가 미러링된 화면에 노출이 됩니다.
    예전처럼 사용할 수 있게 개선을…

  15. Whenever I am writing, and I scroll to above pages and then come back down what I see is the app has God knows how merged the annotation of two pages into one that is the content of two pages suddenly overlaps in one page and there is no way to fix this, you cannot undo this since it is glitch and even when restarted, it is still the same fix this ASAP or refund my subscription. I use this app for academic purpose, and this bug has destroyed my notes

  16. Hi can we bring back the double tap to switch highlighter color? It’s not working on neither of my iPads and I have tried in both with different pencils (pro and 2nd gen). Has it been removed? Or is it a bug?

  17. Feature Request: Independent Sidebar Position Settings for Page Layout, Search, and GoodNotes AI
    Currently, the sidebar position setting in GoodNotes applies globally to Page Layout, Search Layout, and GoodNotes AI, allowing the sidebar to be placed only on either the left or the right side for all panels at once.

    However, I would like the ability to set GoodNotes AI to always open as a right-side panel, while keeping the Page Layout and Search Layout on the left side. I believe this behavior was possible in the past, but it now appears to be unified under a single global setting.

  18. To making changing between the different menus (i. e. between pen settings, eraser settings) easier and less of a reach, being able to swipe between tool menus to choose different settings would be convenient. For instance, assuming the menu is on the left of the screen and we’re currently on the eraser menu, swiping left from the menu to the edge of the screen (1A) would go to the pen menu(1B). Alternatively swiping right from the edge of the screen to the menu from the eraser settings (2A) would go to text menu (2B). I’ve attached screenshots with arrows for…

  19. Feature Request: Add Text Box to Handwriting Conversion
    I would like to request a feature that converts typed text into handwriting, similar to Apple’s Markup functionality.

    It would be great if GoodNotes could analyze the user’s existing handwritten notes within documents and use that handwriting style to convert typed text into personalized handwriting.
    If no handwriting data is available, the app could prompt the user to provide handwriting samples for analysis and learning.

    This feature would allow typed text to blend naturally with handwritten notes, improving consistency and the overall note-taking experience in GoodNotes.

  20. 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…
