  2. I’m a frequent user of GoodNotes and truly appreciate the powerful tools your app offers, especially for digital note-taking. However, I wanted to provide feedback about a frustrating issue I experience regularly when using the Apple Pencil’s Scribble feature to input text into text boxes.

    Currently, when I use Scribble to convert my handwriting into typed text, the capitalization (uppercase vs. lowercase letters) often does not match what I originally wrote. This forces me to go back and manually edit each letter to correct capitalization, which disrupts my workflow and takes up unnecessary time.

    It would be incredibly helpful if…

  3. have our 4 favorite pen colors then next to it have a drop-down arrow (just like the arrow for hidden tools) with the rest of our color palettes. That way we won’t have to constantly scroll back and forth to change our stroke settings and so we won’t have limited colors options / only 12 of our favorite pen colors

  4. I’m a high school teacher, and I rely on GoodNotes for all my classes. It’s been an essential part of my teaching. I’d like to request a feature that would make presentations and lectures even more effective.

    What I’d love to see is a “Presenter-Only Pen” feature.

    Here’s the idea:
    When preparing class materials in advance, I often want to write down talking points, hints, or solutions on the slides. However, I don’t want my students to see those notes during the presentation. It would be incredibly helpful if I could write notes that are only visible to me as…

  5. There is a very bad lag on good notes. I copy and pasted text and when I clicked on it, the text disappeared. Also, I don’t like that it fills in words for me because I’m typing the word and then it looks like this- Virusirus. It’s very frustrating.

  6. Hi GoodNotes Team,

    I’d like to suggest a few improvements for the pencil tool:
    1. Stroke darkness:
    The pencil looks too light even with normal pressure. It would be helpful to have an option to adjust the stroke darkness or opacity.
    2. Tilt sensitivity:
    The writing changes too much depending on the Apple Pencil’s angle. It would be great to allow users to adjust tilt sensitivity to fit their writing style.

    Thanks.

  7. I want to be able to quickly take screenshots of portions of my lecture slides, copy them, and paste them elsewhere. Currently, the screenshot function takes 4 clicks: Lasso->screenshot->share->copy. It would be a lot easier if there was a way to Lasso a portion of the slide I want copied, and in one click copy ALL the contents of the lasso -- INCLUDING the slide itself, NOT JUST DRAWINGS/IMAGES/ETC.

  9. It would be great if it were possible to change the spacing or the size of the lines, grid, etc., since the default one is very large and makes it hard to keep notes neat. This option would really improve the experience, as sometimes the default templates make the notes too big and uncomfortable to use.

  11. As of now, if I want to edit the style of multiple textboxes (such as the box border color/width and background), I can only edit the color of the text when using the lasso tool and then selecting “style”. I like to use textboxes to make color coded labels, but without the ability to mass edit, I have to change the color of the textbox manually before saving to elements. Adding textbox edit options in the “style” option would be helpful, and adding the ability to save my own textbox presets would be nice as well.

  12. It is inconvenient to have to erase each page one by one when deleting them. I want to be able to erase all the pages I want at once. Please allow me to erase them by selecting the pages I want to in the edit and pressing Erase Page.

  14. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing persistent issues with palm rejection while using a 3rd party stylus on Goodnotes, and I wanted to bring this to your attention.

    While writing with my palm resting on the screen, unintended actions frequently occur — the floating menu (cut, copy, paste, etc.) often pops up, and in some cases, it even selects underlying text or content where my palm touches. This leads to the stroke I was making getting disrupted or vanishing altogether.

    This not only causes missing portions in my writing but also severely hampers the flow and accuracy of note-taking, which…

  15. I would like to suggest a feature that would improve visibility and clarity during writing sessions, especially when using screen-sharing or presenting.

    While in Pen Mode, it would be extremely helpful to have an optional highlighted circle or pointer around the pen tip as I write. This would act like a visual guide, making it easier for others to follow the writing in real time, and for the writer to keep track of the precise pen location, especially on larger screens or when using a stylus.

    This feature would be similar to a cursor highlight or visual pointer found in…

    Subject: Screenshot Feature Request – Easier Access, Auto Copy, and Better Sharing Compatibility

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Thank you for developing such a versatile and user-friendly note-taking app.
    I’d like to suggest improvements related to how screenshots are captured and shared from within GoodNotes.

    I often need to take screenshots that include both my handwriting and the file’s background, especially when sharing notes with external tools like ChatGPT. However, having to use the lasso tool each time to take a screenshot is quite inconvenient and time-consuming.

    Here are a few…

  19. Being able to type documents and adding text fields to handwritten docs is great, but the style options (fonts, text size, …) are quite limited.
    I would really enjoy more advanced typing features to make the experience of typing documents feel closer to Microsoft Word oder Apple Pages.
    I know the focus of GoodNotes is still handwriting, but just little improvements like making it more accessible/quicker to change fonts or text style (or even keyboard shortcuts) would enhance the experience of being able to use just one app for handwritten and typed notes!

  20. Ok, so all my bookmarks in a document I want to be able to only see when I scroll the bookmarked pages when I press on it from that tab. For instance, in notability, all your bookmarks in that tab you can just scroll and see all of them. For classes that I have 100+ pages, and I have marked 30 pages of only the relevant material, is very inconvenient that I can only see them in the little square and to go to next book mark page I have to find thumbnail marked. I want to scroll all of…
