  1. Feature request:

    Hi GoodNotes team,

    I would like to suggest a feature for better dark mode note-taking.

    When the page background is dark, it would be very helpful if pen colors could automatically reverse or adapt for visibility. For example, black handwriting could appear white on a dark background, while still preserving readability.

    Also, when exporting notes, please allow users to choose whether the handwriting should be exported as black or white. This would be especially useful because notes that look clear on a dark background may become hard to read when exported or printed.

    Suggested options:

    Auto-invert pen color…

  2. This option adds a 2,5 inch margin at the right side of the document for annotating. The margin is collapsible afterwards or can be kept open permanently. This way one can annotate on PDFs with tiny margins without having to compress all the info.

  3. Add a tool to bookmark specific parts of a whiteboard so you can jump directly to them. Have all the bookmarks be visible under one searchable menu.

    E.g if you click on a bookmark you made for linear algebra, it'll bring you straight to your notes on the topic.

  5. I really appreciate that you can set a default font type and size for text boxes. It's really helped me streamline my notes when needed. I also really love the sticky note feature, but it's quite time consuming to change the font type and size when typing on sticky notes.

    It would be amazing if a future update would give you the option of setting a default font type and size for typing in sticky notes! Thanks!

  6. Whenever I want to use the arrow tool to draw axes (two perpendicular segments drawn with one stroke), I use an arrow with arrowheads at both ends. The problem is that, no matter what I do the corner is rounded

    Is it possible to allow the corner bend NOT to be rounded?

    I actually do not know whether this is a bug or a feature request...

    Thanks

  7. Please consider adding an option to switch between a fixed and floating toolbar. The floating toolbar is distracting during long study sessions and slows down workflow. A fixed toolbar was much more efficient and comfortable to use. Having both options would greatly improve the user experience.

  8. The app has become a giant buggy glitch, the basic functions weren’t that great to begin with but the app has become completely unusable.

  9. Seria ótimo se a barra de tarefas pudesse mudar de cor. O azul do Goodnotes cansa muito minha visão. A cor é muito escura e também seria bom se ela fosse mais estreita para que eu pudesse colocar outro caderno embaixo (no modo paisagem) e que não ocupasse tanto a tela com bordas de barra de ferramentas. Obrigada

  12. I really loved the text document because it was similar to typing on Microsoft Word and more versatile for me to arrange my study texts. Please bring it back. The box is just too small and inconvenient.

  13. I would love to see a fountain pen added to Goodnotes, similar to the one available in the default iOS Notes app. It has a unique, smooth writing feel that would make handwriting more natural and enjoyable. I think having this option would give users more variety in their writing styles.
    Please add a fountain pen similar to the one available in the default iOS Notes app!

  14. As a college student who uses audio recordings in lectures to ensure I can write exactly what the professor says, it is frustrating that I cannot scroll up while a live transcript is going. Each time I try to scroll up, it automatically pulls you back down to what is currently being transcribed. I would like to be able to scroll up, it keeps my place, and click a button when you want to resume current transcript.

  15. I hope the alignment function can be improved—specifically, by adding two guide lines for more precise alignment, similar to presentation software—and by removing restrictions on where elements can be placed.

  16. 파일을 읽어올 때 현재 위치로 읽어오도록 기능을 구현하거나, 읽어올 위치를 사전에 등록할 수 있게 해주세요. 이전 버전에 비슷한 기능이 있었는데, 새 버전에 구현이 안돼 있습니다. 현재는 문서를 하나 읽어올 때마다 상위 폴더에서 원하는 하위 폴더까지 찾아가야 하는 번거로움이 있습니다. 빨리 개선해 주세요.

  17. I would love to see a wider variety of folder emoji options in GoodNotes.

    Currently, the limited selection makes it harder to visually organize folders in a way that reflects different subjects, moods, or purposes. Many users rely on visual cues for quick navigation, and expanding the emoji library would greatly improve usability and personalization.

    For example, adding more categories such as symbols, Exclusive color for emojis, objects, or even allowing custom emoji (including iOS emojis) would make the experience much more intuitive and enjoyable.

    This small change could significantly enhance folder organization and overall user satisfaction.

    Thank you for…

  18. It will be a big help for us, engineers, to flip/mirror a certain drawn object selected using lasso tool. Its a good feature for us since we always draw symmetrical figures.

  19. The universal selection tool, or maybe it’s the quick selection idek, is a constant battle for me. Every time I tap somewhere else while I’m writing, it selects whatever I just clicked on, which also moves me from the pen tool to the lasso tool. Which I also do constantly even out of habit to deselect something. And most of the time, I’m writing on an image, so when that gets selected it makes all my handwriting go behind it.

    I’m glad we got the lock image tool, but why doesn’t that prevent the image from being selected in the…

  20. Subject: "Mirror Presenter Page" shows wrong area when Goodnotes is in Split View

    Hello Goodnotes team,

    I mirror my iPad to an Apple TV via AirPlay and use "Mirror Presenter Page". When Goodnotes runs in Split View, the Apple TV does not show the same area that I see in the Goodnotes window on my iPad. It behaves as if the Goodnotes window were not in Split View, so the page and zoom on the TV are cut off or shifted.

    According to your help article, this mode should show the current page and zoom and only hide the other…
