Goodnotes 7 downgrade to 6
Dear GoodNotes Support Team,
since the recent update to GoodNotes 7 (version 7.0.3 [3413431.108865178]), my workflow has become significantly more difficult. I had deliberately disabled automatic updates, because I was fully satisfied with GoodNotes 6, which worked smoothly and intuitively for my daily academic work.
Unfortunately, the new version has not improved anything for me — quite the opposite.
The new user interface feels less efficient and visually cluttered, and the keyboard text tool has become cumbersome to use.
I now have to:
• tap the edit icon every time I want to adjust text,
• manually switch back to…4 votes -
TAPE UPDATE
I really would love the option to HIDE ALL or SHOW ALL tape in a notebook. Would be very useful as I use the tape feature to test myself on my professors lecture slides it is 100+ slides to go thru.

Customise writing tools toolbar
It would be great if you could add in the option to customise the position of writing tools. For instance, I’d rather have the pen, highlighter, and eraser function visible, and hide all of the other writing tools.

Audio recordings improvement for new Update
The new update is not user-friendly at all. The toolbar is difficult to use, and this is especially evident in the audio recording feature. When you start recording, a separate window appears outside the toolbar, taking up screen space and getting in the way. In the previous version, recording was indicated only by a small discreet icon in the toolbar, so writing wasn’t interrupted.
In addition, when you play back the recording, every time you want to stop it and play it again, another unnecessary panel pops up on the left side of the screen, making the process time-consuming.Overall,…

Typing with more bullet types
I suggest that the textbox should contain both vertical (like this • ) and sub-dots (like this – ) for example

Latest update forced me to go back to Goodnotes 5
The new Oct 2025 update makes it impossible to use Goodnotes as I used to. The grouping of tools doubles or triples my clicks, the default lasso break the writing flow and I can't draw straight lines without a ruler anymore.
I am going back to Goodnotes 5. This update makes using the app very frustrating.4 votes -
Shape editing was better in Goodnotes 6
I regularly use the shape to draw curved lines and then edit their shape to create larger, more complex shapes. Currently, that‘s next to impossible:
- Editing points don‘t scale with zooming; especially when editing small lines, the points now cover up the lines entirely.
- These lines are often glitched out and turn invisible while editing, especially when multiple lines are connected together.
- After editing a line, Goodnotes automatically selects the lasso tool instead of the pen, making the drawing process very tedious.None of these issues occured with Goodnotes 6, I hope these issues are fixed with…

Put Zoom Window Back on tool bar
The zoom window used to be in the tool bar, but now the only way I can access it is to double click the Apple Pencil 2 and then I have to scroll through the tools to get to it. I open and close the zoom window a lot and not having it in the tool bar, makes it cumbersome and it takes too long … please put it back.

[Oct 2025 Update] - Customize the bar and shortcuts
The new toolbar divides the users of goodnotes, so let us customize the toolbar and shortcuts such as bookmark and select documents.
Let the user choose if we want a separate or unique toolbar, or choose which icons we want on our toolbar and remove the one we don't use.
This will create a more personalized and fluid experience.And also add back the photo modification when on the photo icon and not only with the lasso tool, this will also reduce the interferences when using the lasso tool without always change the lasso preferences.

handwriting disappears on sticky notes
When writing on a sticky note sometimes the text I wrote, not typed, will disappear behind the sticky note. I have to collapse the sticky note and reopen it in order for the text to show on top of the note.

From home page, a button to return to existing open tabs
Easy to go back to home page to find another file. But something I just want to go back to my existing open tabs. You have a home button, put a return to editing button. Right now the quickest way which is annoying is to open some random file I see on my home page to reaccess my tabs. And then I have to close that random open file.

[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…

Folder overview / hierarchy (like Noteful, Onenote etc.) PLEASE
There’s one thing that really limits my productivity: the folder navigation. It’s currently very time-consuming and confusing to navigate between nested folders or PDFs.
You always have to click multiple times to move between documents if they are stored in different subfolders. This becomes extremely inefficient, especially when managing complex hierarchies (like for studies or work).
Please take a look at Noteful or OneNote — they have an excellent folder overview / hierarchy structure that shows all folders and subfolders clearly on one screen (like a sidebar or tab structure).
That way, users can easily switch between documents without losing…4 votes -
Merge the two UI bars at the top back to one
All the new split does for me is to take space away from my screen to read or write on. Also the second bar being loose/movable and black in contrast to the white page is distracting me.

Broken “Report an Issue” button in the app
The “Report an Issue” button in the app is broken. All the other buttons to external links work, but instead I had to search for a separate feedback tool online. Very inconvenient and not at all easy site to find. And I had to make a new account.
But of course the “Rate on App Store” button works perfectly.

Unclutter the whitespace!
I do a lot of screen recordings for my math classes and your new toolbar and permanently floating undo buttons eat up canvas space. Let me at least choose a different layout where the drawing surface is completely free of anything other than... drawing space.
