Revert to old UI!!!
Please go back to the most previous UI. This new UI though more simplified, is more tedious to work with. I like the implementation of when you copy a photo, it directly sizes it from a corner instead of proportionally sizing everything. However, once you click off that image, you have to go back to the pen which wastes time during fast lectures.
The new text box interaction is also tedious since you have to hold down and click ‘start editing’ instead of just clicking a button to text on the whole page. And if you do just a small…44 votes -
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.

Built-in Calculator / Scientific Calculator
I suggest adding a calculator feature to GoodNotes 6 to enhance its functionality and streamline user workflows. This feature could allow users to perform calculations directly within their notes, making it especially useful for students, professionals, and anyone working with numerical data. For example, a floating calculator tool could be integrated into the app, enabling users to perform quick calculations without leaving the workspace. Alternatively, a feature that allows handwritten equations to be converted into calculated results would align well with GoodNotes’ emphasis on handwriting recognition and natural note-taking. This addition would not only save time but also make GoodNotes…

Add a Lined Background to Imported PDF Slides
One feature I would really love to see in Goodnotes is the ability to add a notebook-style background around imported and resized PDF slides, such as lined, grid, or dotted paper.
This feature is already available in Notability, and it is one of the reasons why many students prefer using Notability for lecture notes.
A common workflow for students is to first use another app or website to resize their lecture slides, then import the resized PDF into Notability. Notability allows them to place the slides on a notebook-style page with a lined background surrounding the slides, creating a clean…

Expand Page Option
Have a feature where you can expand the page of a document, so that you can have extra space to write annotations. This would be helpful for med students like me who often write and annotate over books but have no space to write. Have an option to expand the page to the left, or to the right, or expand both sides, or customized expansion.

revert back to the old version before the update
The new update is so inefficient, you split up the tool bar which takes up more space, and it makes me feel like there's always a visual barrier at the top which is extremely distracting. listen to the feedback from many of the unsatisfied users, and quickly implement a change. Or, have options for some users to try the new update, or revert back to the old version if they don't like it. Don't just keep the new update simply because your company spent too much time or money on it and you don't want it to go all to…

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.

More space for note taking
I would like GoodNotes to allow unlimited note-taking space when working with PDFs. Currently, notes can only be written directly on the PDF pages, which is limiting. It would be very helpful to have expandable space around or beside the pages to add more detailed notes. Additionally, features like side notes, connecting lines, and more flexible layouts would improve the overall note-taking experience and make it easier to organize and connect ideas.

Add security to protect our documents against your AI
Your AI is very obviously scanning and learning from our documents, sketches, etc. This is a huge breach of trust.
One huge use of Goodnotes for me and I am sure many others is to have a place to sketch out ideas. I cannot continue to do this in the knowledge that you are very obviously scanning and training your AI off of our ideas.
Without that foundation of trust there is no way I would recommend this application to anybody anymore.
Please rethink your AI integration. Apply AI only with consent and respect that "no means no".

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.

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…

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…

"Bold" Highlighter
I would love to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool. Instead of adding a fluorescent background color, it would be amazing to have a specific highlighter that simply makes the selected text (handwritten or typed) bold.
This would be incredibly useful for emphasizing certain words or sentences cleanly, without cluttering the page with too many bright colors. It would keep notes looking professional and easy to read. Thank you for considering!

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.
