  1. Feature Request: Add File Replace Option When Importing Files with the Same Name
    When importing a file with the same name, GoodNotes currently brings it in as a new document and renames it as โ€œfilename 2.โ€
    However, sometimes instead of importing it as a new document, it would be better to overwrite/replace the existing file.

    When the file being imported has the same name as an existing file, it would be great if a prompt appeared asking whether the user wants to:

    Overwrite the existing file,

    Import as a new file, or

    Cancel the import.

    Adding this overwrite option wouldโ€ฆ

  3. Hi can we bring back the double tap to switch highlighter color? Itโ€™s not working on neither of my iPads and I have tried in both with different pencils (pro and 2nd gen). Has it been removed? Or is it a bug?

  4. To making changing between the different menus (i. e. between pen settings, eraser settings) easier and less of a reach, being able to swipe between tool menus to choose different settings would be convenient. For instance, assuming the menu is on the left of the screen and weโ€™re currently on the eraser menu, swiping left from the menu to the edge of the screen (1A) would go to the pen menu(1B). Alternatively swiping right from the edge of the screen to the menu from the eraser settings (2A) would go to text menu (2B). Iโ€™ve attached screenshots with arrows forโ€ฆ

  5. Feature Request: Add Text Box to Handwriting Conversion
    I would like to request a feature that converts typed text into handwriting, similar to Appleโ€™s Markup functionality.

    It would be great if GoodNotes could analyze the userโ€™s existing handwritten notes within documents and use that handwriting style to convert typed text into personalized handwriting.
    If no handwriting data is available, the app could prompt the user to provide handwriting samples for analysis and learning.

    This feature would allow typed text to blend naturally with handwritten notes, improving consistency and the overall note-taking experience in GoodNotes.

  6. As shown in the attached images, it would be beneficial to add a movement or animated effect to the Lasso tool so that users can more clearly recognize its motion while selecting an area.

    Additionally, similar to the Lasso tool in Photoshop, I would like to request a feature that allows users to visually confirm exactly which handwritten content has been selected when using the Lasso tool. When selecting handwritten notes, it is sometimes unclear which parts are included in the selection.

    For example, as illustrated in the images, it would be helpful to clearly distinguish between selecting the entireโ€ฆ

  7. As shown in the attached image, a pencil thickness of approximately 0.3โ€“0.35 mm provides the most comfortable writing experience. When the thickness is set above or below this range, the jitter either becomes too weak or too strong, which significantly reduces writing satisfaction.

    For this reason, I would like to request the addition of adjustable jitter control and grit (texture) control options.

    Additionally, the current pencil tool lacks advanced customization options. To enhance professional writing and drawing experiences, I propose separating the pencil tool into distinct categories, such as pencil and mechanical pencil. Furthermore, similar to real pencils (e.g., 2B,โ€ฆ

  9. Make the pop-up menu for font color, size, and format float. Whenever I want to adjust or edit a text, the menu box pops up and gets in my way of what I want to change. I flip my screen to try to get around it but the menu is still in the way. I canโ€™t drag it to move it.

  10. Make tape feature available across all versions, considering this app is primarily used by students who utilize active recall, and several users have already paid a one-time purchase fee for earlier versions. Yearly subscription is subpar compared to competing developers who either require a one-time purchase fee with numerous features that are not available on Goodnotes or offer these same features at reduced pricing. Greed gets you nowhere but forgotten.

  11. Similar to math ai, auto-complete or suggest answers using handwritten notes as the experience.

    For Example if I write Valentines Date: then show a suggestion to fill in the date. or show icon that can prompt the user to trigger ai. and provide suggested answers.

    If I wrote github is a then it could provide a suggestion autocomplete similar to google search. It doesn't even have to always leverage heavy token based LLM.

    But it can provide better answers using llm, websearch and better understanding of content/ context window.

    A second phases of this could be to replace content byโ€ฆ

  12. The text editor bar now moves with the text when you type with the new update. This is very distracting due to the constant shifting of the items on the bar while trying to type and blocks the other information on the page. PLEASE FIX URGENTLY.

  13. Proposal to Improve the Template Change Feature (+ Add โ€œReplace Pageโ€ and โ€œReplace Fileโ€ Functions)

    Currently, Goodnotes does not offer a feature that allows users to replace pages in the same way as a โ€œChange PDFโ€ function. While there is a template change feature, it is limited to Goodnotesโ€™ built-in templates and note-style formats, and requires importing content into Goodnotes first.

    In many cases, there are situations where a page needs to be replacedโ€”for example, when a lecture material contains typos or when an updated version of the file is provided. Therefore, it would be highly useful to have aโ€ฆ

  19. Iโ€™m a Pro user and have noticed that in the desktop app, text boxes often appear cut off until I click on each one. This can be quite time-consuming when reviewing notes with many text boxes.

    I would love to see a feature that allows text boxes to automatically expand or fully display their content by default, without needing to click on each box individually.

    This improvement would greatly enhance the user experience and help maintain note readability across devices.

  20. Allow us to use the old versions of tools, whether an option in settings or the tool itself. Tools like the line editing tool are now useless at smaller levels as the circle used to select the line can be massively larger than the line itself, making it impossible to actually see what you are doing, but in the past it used to scale with how zoomed in you were. Other tools like the shape tool also have been affected by this. I make many complex drawings and diagrams for physics and I can no longer do practically any ofโ€ฆ
