  2. Before, you could make a shape with a fill color, and erase the filler separately from the shape outline. Now, you can’t even erase the outline and leave just the filling, or vice versa.

  3. リンク設定において、デフォルトの設定が「次のページ」になっているため、不便です。デフォルト設定を「このページ」にしてほしいです。「このページ」に設定することで、手間を省くことができ助かります。

  4. With the new update - as soon as you insert a rectangle using the shape tool (love that you get a perfect rectangle every time by the way thanks for this!), it automatically assumes you want to add text. I NEVER do. I do want to resize it though. So I have to click off it to resize it. I would prefer to have the default option of rectangle without text and then, as it is now, to click in the middle of the textbox to add text.
    Thanks!

  5. Feature Request:

    Dear Developers,

    I would like to request a built-in image quality enhancement feature for the note-taking app. Imported images often become blurry due to screenshotting or file transfer issues, which affects the reading and viewing experience in notes.

    This feature could include (but not be limited to) AI super-resolution technology—capable of sharpening blurry details, reducing pixelation, and improving overall clarity of imported images. It would greatly enhance the usability of the app when managing image-containing notes, especially for users who frequently add screenshots or transferred images.

    Thank you for considering this request!

  7. Notion like document editor. On which I can annotate with pencil. Code format text, colored text, checkbox, toggle and much more like in notion. The current text editor is too rigid. It must be made a bit more user friendly.

  8. Notability allows you to drag and drop PowerPoints. To use Goodnotes, I have to open the PowerPoint, export it as a PDF (you must be a Microsoft 365 subscriber to do this), and then import it to Goodnotes. Since all my lectures are PowerPoints, I uses Notability solely because I don't have to open ~15 PowerPoints to export them as PDFs every week.

  9. I truly appreciate the new features introduced with the recent update—they’ve been very helpful. I do, however, have a small request that I believe would make the workflow even smoother.

    Currently, whenever I switch from writing to drawing shapes or lines, I need to manually adjust the stroke width each time to match my pen. This process takes a little extra time and interrupts the natural flow of writing and drawing.

    It would be wonderful if there were an option to quickly set the shape or line stroke width to match the current pen width—or to have a few ready-made…

  10. I use goodnotes without an external keyboard and I found extremely useful the left/right arrow keys to move the cursor when typing because many times it is not easy to place the cursor exactly in the desired position.

    Can you bring them back?

  11. I am left handed and with the undo/redo arrows on the top left corner in Goodnotes 7 I can (and occasionally have) involuntarily touch the buttons. An option for left handed persons to move the buttons on the right top corner would be great

  12. 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.

  14. Can’t figure out a way to record without the dumb AI features. Unknowingly used all my credits in the span of an hour because I couldn’t just record audio and it forced me to do the ai summarize too. So annoying

    1. the drawing straight line correction, Maybe I draw a box but I sometimes I don’t need it to be too big, after update u fixed a minimum size which is not even useful, so as draw small triangle it minimum size is an isosceles triangle which I was only try to draw a better look, Delta for maths……
    2. Same problem to Arrow which is a triangle, I know you add new thing to show arrow but u should try try yourself I think it still need more update to be user funny, like I can’t even change to arrow’s aim…

  19. I would like to be able to create my own preset of pens/highlighters in different sizes and colors. On the tool bar there could be a pencil case tool that allows you to add different pen and highlighter presets so you easily have all your favorite pens and colors in one place. This would be very helpful when taking notes in class, saves time switching color to color.
