Writing Tools in Main Toolbar
Thank you for improving the toolbar customisation with your latest updates to version 7.0.15.
However, it would be very helpful, if it would be possible to have the writing tools also integrated in the main toolbar. I use the laser, the fountain pen, the highlighter and the eraser for presenting slides in my lectures. I have to switch very often between the writing tool and the laser during the lecture and with the current setup, there is always an extra click, when I want to switch between the laser and a writing tool, since I have to open first the…4 votes -

font
I found an issue where custom fonts installed on iOS (e.g., via the Bakey font app) do not appear in the font list when Goodnotes 6 uses the new Whiteboard-enabled UI.
Here are the details:
✔ Old UI (no Whiteboard option)
“New note” menu does not show the Whiteboard button
Font toolbar is in the top ribbon
Custom fonts appear normally
✔ New UI (with Whiteboard — released around Sep 25, 2025)
“New note” menu includes a Whiteboard button
Font toolbar becomes a floating popup near the text box
Custom fonts do NOT appear in the font picker
Happens across…

Restore font size and style adjustment in full-page text mode
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I’ve recently noticed that in the latest version of GoodNotes for iPad or Iphone, the “full-page text input” mode no longer provides an option to change the font size and style.
In previous versions, users were able to freely edit both the font size and font style while using full-page text mode. This was especially useful for multilingual users like me who often type in Chinese and Japanese — since these languages have different character heights, being able to adjust the font size ensures that the text aligns properly within each line.
In the current version, however,…

audio recording accessory
Hi! After the latest GoodNotes 6 update, a small recording bar shows up on the top right when recording audio.
It’s fixed there, and since I’m right-handed, I keep accidentally touching it while writing — which stops the recording 😭
It would be great if we could move it or just have a small recording indicator in the main toolbar instead. That would make note-taking while recording so much easier!Thanks a lot for listening 💙

sticky notes - opening direction/page limits
Thank you for reworking the sticky notes <3 . They are almost perfect now.
One thing is still impractical though.
All sticky notes open to the lower right - regardless of their position on the page. It would be great if they intelligently recognized the page borders and opened in such a way as to stay completely visible.
Reason: Many textbooks and almost all scientific papers have a 2 column layout with only a narrow gap between. Is is only natural to place notes for the right column in the right margin. See image.(Another but minor improvement: When a…

[Animations] Reduce opening animation time for folders and sidebars
GoodNotes feels very slow and outdated when it comes to the slow animation when clicking on folders. Instead of feeling snappy and responsive the long animation leaves me feeling sluggish.
The same goes for when I open the page view sidebar and the search sidebar. These slow opening animations are outdated and make GoodNotes feel unnecessary sluggish when compared to Notability’s snappy, simple animations.

Text Doc export

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.

Bring back old text box mode (no double tapping for confirmation and unlimited boxes)
The new update on the text box mode needs to be reverted. Firstly, you have to tap twice in order to confirm the box, which is already inconvenient enough, but on top of that the text box mode will switch to the lasso tool after one box??
It is VERY inefficient to take notes on lecture manuscripts, now you have to double tap everytime to confirm it and then you need to reselect text box mode...
Before that you could place unlimited boxes and you didn't need to double tap to confirm. Bring it back please!!!

New updates are glitchier/less smooth than previous releases!
Writing using pens is glitchy, I see the line or letter I am drawing flicker from visible / invisible, drawing shapes is terrible and can't be rotated! Erasing seems glitchy with shapes too.
Please revert back to old releases until the bugs are worked out on these new algorithms, because the writing process is now, at this point, user UNfriendly.

Please return the Timekeeper and Bookmark to before the update
After the update, the timekeeper is hidden and the time seems too small, so it's uncomfortable. Please return the bookmarks as well

Request for this update
The context can be strange because I use a translator. Please understand.
1. Laser points written as lines have become less readable since this update. Please go back to before the update.
2. I wish I could modify the sidebar. In my case, I don't use pencils well and often use nooses, so it would be convenient if I could add nooses to the sidebar. And I set it to change to the tool I used automatically if I use the eraser, but after this update, if I use the noose and choose the handwriting tool again, the eraser will…4 votes -
Worst
When I try to write with the keyboard, the text doesn’t appear right away — it’s like the touch input isn’t responding properly. This kind of issue feels unacceptable, especially for a note-taking app. Previously, I could simply tap and type immediately, but now I have to tap, type, then click twice on the screen before my previous note ends, and even then, I need to press the keyboard tool or “T” again to start typing a new note. It seems like whoever designed this update has never actually taken notes during a lecture. This update added unnecessary steps —…

Apple Pencil latency needs to be reduced
Easy to replicate - write absolutely anything and you will see a gap between your pencil tip and the ink appearing on-screen. Mine is about half a second behind on the newest iPad Pro M4 13-inch with a Pencil Pro. This should really be optimized.
Running iPadOS 26 with Goodnotes 7.

Writing text on drawn boxes
In the recent update, everything fell apart. I strongly recommend a HCI team that conducts research on UI properties before making radical changes to the whole experience. Some strong changes can deter existing users!
Also, just like the android phones and the iPhone, please make the experience almost identical in some areas, as it encourages migration according to users needs without hesitation. For me, the only strength for Goodnotes is its backup and sync feature. So make sure the differentiation on that front is robust, while slowly improving other features. How does this help? If notability users also see that…

Smarter Lasso Tool
When using the lasso tool to select a drawing or handwriting area, it would be great to not only change the color but also adjust the line thickness for all selected elements simultaneously. Additionally, adding an option to either preserve the original stroke thickness or scale it proportionally when resizing would offer much more control and flexibility.
