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…6 votes -
[Audio Recording] Fix issue where audio stops or disappears in split-screen mode
When using GoodNotes in split-screen mode, I record audio on one side so I can listen to it later, while studying for a test on the other side. However, if I close the screen I’m studying on, the recording disappears. The same thing happens when I try to open a different document on the study side — the recording stops and disappears.
This feature worked fine before the update and also in GoodNotes 5, so I really want this issue fixed immediately. It’s seriously affecting my test preparation, and I’m having a lot of trouble because of it. Please fix…

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!?

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…

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.

[URGENT] Severe usability issue: Text Box insertion blocked by existing document text
I am writing to report a critical usability flaw regarding the Text Box tool that severely disrupts the core note-taking workflow. I strongly request your development team to review and resolve this issue as a top priority.
Currently, Goodnotes only allows users to tap and create a Text Box in completely blank areas where no document text exists. When I tap directly over or near areas with existing document text, the app completely ignores my touch input and refuses to open a Text Box at that exact spot.
My entire workflow depends on tapping directly on or right next to…

Subject: [Feedback] Critical issue: Text Box creation blocked on existing document text
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I am writing to bring your attention to a critical issue with the Text Box tool that is heavily disrupting my daily workflow. I strongly request the development team to review this behavior and address it as soon as possible.
Currently, Goodnotes only allows a Text Box to be created when tapping on completely blank areas of a page. When I tap directly over or near existing document text, the app ignores the touch input and fails to open a Text Box at that location.
Because I need to type notes, answers, and annotations directly over or…

Request for Layer Functionality Support
Hello Goodnotes Team,
I am a long-time user who deeply enjoys using Goodnotes for taking notes and organizing documents.
I am writing to suggest a feature that would greatly improve the user experience.
Other note-taking apps (such as Flexcil) offer a Layer feature, which allows users to separate handwritten notes, text boxes, and imported images/PDF files. In Goodnotes, however, the lack of layers makes it quite inconvenient when working with overlapping elements.
Currently, when I write over an inserted image or pasted document, trying to select or edit only the handwriting often results in accidentally moving or selecting the…

Change Record back to how it looked in Goodnotes 6
The floating record numbers are extremely distracting and take up valuable space. Please revert it back to how it looked in Goodnotes 6 - a small unobtrusive icon on the toolbar.

Add text doc as a page
For the text doc to be useful to me I need it to be an option to add it as a page within a normal notebook. I always use both typed and hand-written notes interchangeably. And I usually have one notebook per subject. So it would be so helpful to have the option to add a text document just as a page (I don‘t mind if it is size restricted, just like with pages when doing handwritten notes). Because currently the only option to have that is to export the text document and re-add it as a pdf to the…

Zoom + Remove Blank space for Text Doc on Mac
Currently, Text Documents are displayed in a relatively narrow, fixed-width column, leaving substantial unused white space on either side of the screen. Even when the Goodnotes window is maximised, I cannot enlarge the document or adjust its width to make better use of the available screen space.
This makes reading, studying and working with longer documents unnecessarily difficult, particularly on larger Mac displays.
I would greatly appreciate the following improvements:
Adjustable document width: Allow users to expand or narrow the text column, ideally with a "Fit to Window" option that automatically adapts to the screen size.
Independent zoom controls: Introduce…

Opt-out für ausgewählte Ordner bei Goodnotes Cloud Goodnotes Cloud
Goodnotes Cloud synchronisiert derzeit die gesamte Bibliothek. Für berufliche und private bzw. schulische Inhalte wäre eine Einstellung sinnvoll, mit der einzelne Ordner von der Cloud-Synchronisierung ausgeschlossen werden können. So könnten Nutzer gemeinsam an bestimmten Dokumenten arbeiten, ohne vertrauliche berufliche Inhalte hochzuladen.
