[Keyboard] Restore Removed Text Formatting Hotkeys
There used to be loads of hotkeys that would make things so much quicker.
E.g.,
- Cmd + +/- when highlighting text would make it larger/smaller
- Cmd + \ would centre text ([ and ] to align left/right)Both of these hotkeys have been removed. Now, when i highlight text and use Cmd + -, it just zooms out. This paired with the terrible toolbar redesign (including the floating toolbar), everything takes so many clicks. These hotkeys have basically become muscle memory and they're slowly getting rid of all of them, won't be surprised if they decide to get…

Cross-Platform Sync (iOS to Web/Windows)
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I am a dedicated Goodnotes user and rely heavily on the app for exam preparation and daily study.
Cross-Platform Viewing
While I primarily use my iPad for handwriting notes, I often need to review materials on a Windows PC or in a web browser. The ability to seamlessly sync and view iOS Goodnotes content across platforms would be a game-changer.
Being able to reference notes on a larger monitor while typing or completing practice exams would significantly improve productivity for students and professionals alike.
Thank you for your continued work on such a valuable tool. I hope…

[Timer] Add -1 Minute Button to Timer
The timer features are so great, the small size, the set modes and the +1 min button are great.
It's quite hard to decrease the amount of time however.
A -1 min button would make it do everything I need it to do to quickly set timers for my classes.

Bring back the old pen
I really miss the consistent style of the pen before the most recent update, the new pen is thicker and thinner in different places and its honestly unusable for me. I also miss the feature that you guys had a little while ago with the magnified writing box, it really helped with writing long sentences and streamlining note taking :)

Rounded corners on shapes
There should be an option to draw shapes with rounded corners added to the new stroke settings similar to the ability to draw dashed and dotted lines and arrows heads. This idea was posted 2 other times back in 2020 but has not been addressed or updated.

New Shape Tool: Ability to disable auto-connection of shapes
Please create the option to turn off auto connection of connector lines to pre-defined shapes drawn with the shape tool. I understand this was designed for diagramming but I am picky about my notes being neat, organized, and symmetrical so I really like using this tool to draw my own figures as well as perfect arrows/shapes. However, the auto connect makes it very frustrating and annoying to use because my lines are redirected to connect to nearby shapes and there is no way of detaching them to still draw the lines where I need them to go. They cannot even…

Request for restoration of the recording function
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,…

Recording
Would it be possible to move the recording thing back where it was with the other icons, it is hiding my courses and sometimes I touch it by mistake and stop recording my classes…

Dark Theme for Slide Show / Presentation Mode
I would love to see a dark theme option in Slide Show (Presentation Mode). Currently, presentations are displayed with a light background, which can be harsh on the eyes, especially in low-light environments such as lectures or bedside teaching.
Notability already offers a Dark Presentation Mode, and it’s extremely helpful for reducing eye strain and improving readability during night study sessions or when presenting in dim rooms.
Adding this feature in GoodNotes would:
Make presentations more comfortable on the eyes.
Improve usability for students, educators, and professionals who work at night.
Keep GoodNotes competitive with similar apps.

When using sticky notes, it is inconvenient that the user name is displayed automatically.
When using sticky notes, it is inconvenient that the user name is displayed automatically.
While showing names can be helpful during collaboration with two or more people on a shared document, it becomes distracting when the document is used individually. I often use sticky notes like Post-it notes for personal annotations and quick notes, and in this case, the automatic display of my name feels unnecessary and disruptive.
It would be very helpful to have an option to toggle the automatic display of names on or off, depending on whether the document is being used collaboratively or individually.

Add Auto-Snapback to Pen After Highlighting
Just how once you’re done erasing it goes right back to the pencil so I can write. I think this would also be useful if it did the same thing for highlighting. Every time I have to highlight and it doesn’t go back to the pencil I waste more time going back to erase what I highlighted on my page because i Though I was using the pen tool

[Audio Recording] Request to Enable Audio Playback Across Files and Improve Audio UI
1.As shown in IMG1457, when opening a file without an audio recording (on the right) alongside a file that has an audio recording (on the left), the audio cannot be played. However, as shown in IMG1458, if the opened file also contains an audio recording, the audio can be played normally.
- This creates a problem when taking notes or summarizing content. I would like to request that audio playback remain available regardless of whether the file opened side-by-side contains an audio recording or not.2.When playing audio, audio control panels appear on both sides of the screen,…

Suggestion about adding an widget option in side bar.
I suggest adding a widget/tool option in side bar . This could include tools like a browser, AI tools, graph creators, calculators, and even custom or local AI tools. Any output from these tools shouldbe directly importable into notes. Also give us an option where, users could create and publish tools, and others could use or buy them as needed. This would make GoodNotes a complete all-in-one productivity app.
Hey guys upvote it please .to have soon this feature.2 votes -
Shape Tool: Horizontal snap for underlines (no hold required)
TL;DR
Please add (or restore) horizontal snapping in the Shape Tool so near-horizontal strokes become perfectly straight underlines without draw-and-hold.Problem
In Goodnotes 7.0.6, to get a perfectly straight underline I must use Pen/Highlighter and pause for draw-and-hold on every stroke. This breaks flow when underlining many items per page.Current behavior
• Pen/Highlighter: can “perfect” a line with draw-and-hold.
• Shape Tool: lacks horizontal snap for quick, hold-free underlines.Proposal
• Add horizontal snapping in Shape Tool: if the stroke angle is within a tolerance of horizontal (e.g., ±5–10°), snap to 0°/180° automatically.
• Provide a quick toggle on…3 votes -
expand/collapse pages
It would be ideal if pages could be expanded or collapsed,
similar to chapters.
When working with multiple pages in a document (as shown in the image),
this feature would reduce the visible page count and allow users
to expand them again when needed.Es wäre perfekt, wenn man Seiten auf oder zuklappen könnte.
Etwa so wie Kapitel.
Wenn man mehrere Seiten in einem Dokument hat, wie im Bild zu sehen.
Dadurch reduziert man die Seiten und wenn man sie braucht dann klappt man sie
einfach wieder auf.4 votes -
Lined Paper for Whiteboard
The new Goodnotes Whiteboard feature is great, yet it doesn’t come in lined paper. I would really appreciate it, since the grid is very messy-looking and the dots are not precise enough for my wonky handwriting.

stabile elements across devices
Please do find a way to prevent elements from moving around when switching between different devices. It is very frustrating to edit a dokument om my ipad omly to open it om my macbook and seeing that the textboxes and highliting etc have moved in relation to eachother. It makes it very hard to navigate on my macbook, and the contet does not make sense because of this. I am uploading two pictures where one is from my ipad, and the other is the exact same document opened om my macbook. Pleeeease find a solution for this! Thank you.

AirPlay Blurry Text and Images
This seems like a bug and it makes Goodnotes almost unusable for me. On my iPad I can see all the text and images fine, but on AirPlay, my students see a very pixelated version of all text and images.
This happens both on whiteboards and pages, which leads me to think that it has something to do with a parameter that you might have set for the render resolution. The render resolution is too low for the current zoom level.
This bug is making it really difficult to teach, could we potentially downgrade to an older version?

highlight
PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU ! As a medical student, I rely heavily on typed summaries. Please implement a native keyboard shortcut (like Cmd + Shift + E) or holding with your finger ( on iPad) to highlight selected text directly within a text box. This would eliminate the need for manual drawing
