  1. Up to now there were 2 workarounds to get shapes without borders:
    (workaround 1): hit "Undo" as soon as you draw the border (this was the most convenient/faster);
    (workaround 2): zoom in to erase the border.
    With the new update both workarounds stopped working.

  2. Some functionalities are missing:
    1. The option to customize the color of the folders according to our preferences, I mean, to use the colors that do not appear in the list, simply by entering their hexadecimal code or RGB values.
    2. I also think it would be convenient to allow the user to customize the colors, in the sense that we can create a kind of list or palettes, assign names to them and order them, for Pencil, Highlighter, Tape, Shapes and Sticky notes.

  3. Hello, could you all add the ability to have all of our colors be universal across all pens, pencils, sticky notes, text, and etc.? It is annoying trying to use a color that I know I have added with the pen but did not feel like adding to the pencil, text, and highlighter separately. Could we also have the ability to create color pallet groups? Similar to the one in procreate (Picture below). Sometimes it is over whelming trying to find a color. And most of my colors mimic my real life pen colors. So being able to place colors…

  4. We want to create each notebook to have its own font, font size, font colour, Pen, Pen size and pen colour as well as our own colour palette so that every time we go into each of our notebooks they will have their own formatting setup. Thus please create the option to save different colour palettes etc.

  6. I’m glad to see that some parts of the app have improved with the latest update. However, the text editing experience is still much less convenient compared to GoodNotes 6.

    Why did you add the unnecessary “Modern, Classic, Technical” text panel in the text box? Please replace it with the “Recently Used Fonts” feature like in GoodNotes 6. Many users frequently switch between multiple fonts, so removing that feature truly makes no sense.

    Also, I really hope you bring back the option to keep the font, size, and text settings fixed at the top like in GoodNotes 6. Something that…

  7. I would like to suggest adding support for using the laser pointer in the whiteboard mode. It would be very helpful if the laser pointer were available there as well.

  8. This feature was previously there but recently been taken away. It is very cumbersome to custom the type, size and colour of the font every time when i try to write. So this feature called “save as default” option should be there for typing font, size and colour.

  9. On Windows 11, the GoodNotes app doesn't work as well as I would like.
    The documents written in GoodNotes doesn't sync onto the Windows 11 app. Instead, I have to share them VIA a link and access them that way. I also use gDrive to sync my GoodNotes, but the UI of viewing GoodNotes files on gDrive is just ... ugly... Would much rather prefer to use GoodNotes on Windows 11 and my iPad.

  10. In previous versions of GoodNotes, when creating a shape (e.g. rectangle, circle, etc.), there was an option to choose whether the shape should be filled or not. This was extremely useful, because sometimes I needed just the outline of a shape, and other times I used the fill color without an outline.

    With the new update, this option is gone. Shapes are always filled, and it’s no longer possible to have only an outline or only a filled shape without a border. This limits flexibility and makes it much harder to use shapes in different contexts.

    It would be great…

  11. The new feature “White board” was launched, but the default language won’t applied.
    My native language is Japanese, and I set it as a default language.
    However, the default language for “White board” is not Japanese but English, and I need to change the language everytime. I hope this bag will be corrected.

  12. I want to be able to set the default text size, font, etc., for when I convert my handwriting to text. Some pages it spits it out huge, sometimes not. Consistency would be a game changer, and a space saver.

  13. Everyone wants to mirror images, but what would be awesome is if you had any sketch and to be able to mirror its entirety to give symmetrical conduct, it saves not only time and energy but is also efficient and widely used in sketches.
    So just a thought…
    Thanks, David Eliav

  16. 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! 🙏✨

  18. 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.

  19. Why the buzz around the Stüssy T-shirt in the UK

    There’s something quietly magnetic about slipping on a tee from Stüssy. In a wardrobe saturated with basics, the Stüssy tee stands out not because it shouts, but because it whispers credibility. And if you’re browsing the UK streetwear scene, you’ll often find yourself scouring sites like Stussy in search of the perfect piece.
    From its Californian surf-roots to its global skate-and-street reach, Stüssy has forged a place in wardrobes far beyond its origin. The tee isn’t just a piece of clothing—it’s a signal, a mood, a sub-culture badge.
    In the…
