    1. Could you add an option to make autoshape tool as sticky tool. I usuanly draw shapes, add connection to them, adjust size and position, then keep on drawing. After adjust shapes, it gets back to Lasso tool automatically, then I need to switch back manually every time I want to keep on next shape.
    2. Another thing is about the connector. Could you add a function so I can delete intermediate point on a connector. Too many relay points make the connector difficult to adjust.

  2. I don't know the situation on iOS, but on Android, GoodNotes isn't available in my Country. I live in Uruguay, a Latin American country with advanced technology. It's a real shame that the app isn't available in much of this region. I'd really like to be able to use it.

  3. Please add a way to disable off device AI. Helps for knowing that data is secured and never sent off device to an unknown service. This would be helpful on a folder or document level. Some folks may have info is too sensitive to risk being scanned by any ai.

  4. The menu for the text box is constantly in the way and is very annoying this was not an issue with the old UI! Please revert back!

  5. With the new update tool bar you can’t change colors in split screen unless you move the tool bar to the side. This is so inconvenient and frustrating especially considering this was not an issue before the latest updates and change in the tool bar. With the old tool bar this was not an issue since you could scroll to select tools, size, or color.

    This is another example of why the new tool bar is awful and inefficient when working! Please let us revert to the old update! Or at the very least the old tool bar!!

  6. Now that graphs are an option, I would like to see this being improved and features being added. I use GoodNotes for maths a lot and I would want to add two graphs in one graph view, set an interval to a graph, recolor the graphs, display intersections with other graphs or the x-axis, support for calculus and equation solving algorithms to find parameters for a polynomial, for instance. That would be beneficial.

  7. How can I import new fonts? I use to have a lot, but now I only have standard fonts. I paid for them so it would be a waste of money if I can’t import or use them anymore. They are uploaded on my iPad and it used to work, but not anymore.

    I also don’t like it that if I select the text box, I have to tap it for every new text box. It always goes back to the lasso tool.

  8. Hi!
    I’m a student still using GoodNotes 5 and I really love it. ❤️
    Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to upgrade to GoodNotes 6, so I kindly ask if you could add a few small updates to version 5 — like more pen settings or simple improvements. Nothing big, just small things to help students like me.
    Thank you so much for your amazing app! 🙏✨

  9. GoodNotes can be limited when it comes to coloring. I wish we had a paint bucket tool to fill in areas faster, as well as a blending tool to avoid harsh lines when coloring. I often have to color for lab reports, and it's inconvenient to do that on GoodNotes. I also wish we could select things with the lasso without it dragging whatever is behind it. At times, I have to change a portion I colored, but it drags anything it overlaps with, making it difficult to select a specific area. The eraser tool can also have more sizing…

  10. I would love to see a hint option added to the study cards. I believe it would add to the effectiveness of the memorizing process for many of us. Sometimes I just need a word or two to get me pointed in the right direction.

  11. Goodnote 7 feels like Badnotes.
    To improve it, I suggest restoring the following features:

    • The smooth performance of Goodnotes 5 (especially the instant PDF rendering)

    • The toolbar layout from Goodnotes 5

    • Keeping the “crumple-to-erase” feature from Goodnotes 6

    • Keeping the folder organization feature from Goodnotes 6

    I propose releasing “Goodnotes 11,” combining the best features of Goodnotes 5 and 6.

  12. When I leave my iPad on Goodnotes it never closes by itself despite my iPad being on the 2 minute shut off time. On every other app it shuts down by itself but Goodnotes. Can we implement something that hinders this? It wastes a lot of battery

  13. 描述:目前,在横向模式下查看PDF时,用户一次只能看到一个页面(除非使用分屏变通办法,这不理想)。我建议添加一种新的查看模式,可以并排显示两个连续的页面,类似于一本打开的书。至关重要的是,此视图应支持连续水平滚动(或“翻页”动画),这样当用户向右滚动时,两页传播会无缝地流向下一个两页传播,而不会有任何刺耳的中断或逐页跳跃。Why this feature is important:
    • Natural Reading Experience: It mimics the natural feel of reading a physical book or a double-page textbook spread.
    • Enhanced Context and Comparison: It allows users to view diagrams, notes, or related text on facing pages simultaneously, greatly improving the ability to compare information or reference previous content without flicking back and forth.
    • Optimal Landscape Use: It makes the most of the wide screen area available on tablets in landscape mode, reducing wasted space.
    This feature is a key differentiator in competing note-taking apps and is frequently requested by your community. Implementing a…

  14. My idea is make the voice imported from voice memo or export it alone or within the file itself ( as in the pdf expert and document app ) as shown in the photo below

    Please voice this as it is crucial for every persone to save there files for the future

  17. I really love the new Whiteborads, especially because I can see the % of Zoom, and I can also change it accuratly.

    I would love the some functionality in Notebooks, so every time I write with the same resolution.
    For example: I find most convenient to write in my notebook at 86%, so my letters are all the same size.

    I know that there is a zoom window, but I don't like to use that, because I takes half of the screen of my iPad and the scale is just too big for me.

  18. 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 :)

  19. When I use the text box, the line height keeps changing. I have to and adjust the line height for each sentence, despite having a set default. I also hate how it goes to Lasso all the time, I never use Lasso. I miss Goodnotes 6 as it was easier to use for someone who struggles with technology.
