Draw on different LAYERS!
Draw on different LAYERS!
Hi I really would like to be able to do a sketch on a FIRST LAYER, then do a sketch on TOP on a SECOND layer..so that later I can still CHANGE the 1st layer underneath ( move, erase, change color, change size, copy etc..) WITHOUT affecting the LAYER ON TOP!!
That would be a TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!
Thanks!!1 vote -
Suggested Feature: Integrated Calculator and Scratch Paper
Hello Goodnotes Team,
I’d love to suggest a feature that could make Goodnotes even more useful, especially for students and professionals:
- Integrated Calculator
-
A calculator that can be freely moved anywhere on the screen, so it’s always available right where you need it.
- It can be collapsed into a small icon and expanded again at any time, so it never gets in the way of note-taking.
- Beyond basic arithmetic, it would be very helpful if the calculator could handle functions such as x², √, fractions, and potentially even simple scientific functions (like sin, cos, log).
- This would make Goodnotes a strong companion for university classes, exams, and professional work where quick calculations are needed without switching apps.
- Scratch Paper
A movable, flexible scratch area for quick notes or side calculations.
Ideal for jotting down temporary ideas, brainstorming, or making to-do lists without cluttering the main document.
Notes could be written with both pen and keyboard.
Items could be crossed out as tasks are completed—helpful during exams, problem-solving, or project work.
- Lockable Text Boxes
A lock feature that fixes a text box in place.
The text can still be edited, but the box itself can no longer be accidentally moved.
I also created a sketch of the idea to better illustrate how this could look in practice.
Thank you for considering this suggestion—I believe these tools would make Goodnotes even more versatile and efficient for everyday use.

Text Document support custom fonts
I would like the Text Document feature to support custom fonts.
Being able to set and use custom fonts is important for my note-taking workflow, especially for maintaining visual consistency and personal preferences. Currently, the lack of font customization in Text Documents limits their usability compared to handwritten notebooks.1 vote -

Full Page Typing mode
In one of the last Updates the full page typing mode was removed and now you have to hold down the add textbox button and do 3 more extra steps. Please bring back the old option where you could just click in the nav-bar the option for keyboards and start working. Again this is now just extra complicated and all in all a downgrade. Writing this on Oktober 10th with the newest goodnotes and ios updates btw

Support for older devices
It seems that my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" isn't compatible with Goodnotes anymore (it doesn't synchronies to the latest documents anymore and says that I should Update my Goodnotes app but my App Store doesn't provide any new updates.) and I just wanted to feedback you that I find this very sad and would really appreciate a longer support for older devices (:

Change the typing options back to how it used to be
There used to be 2 options to Type on a page, the Text Box and the whole screen text field. It used to be so easy to acces the whole page typing mode, and to edit it later on, which it now isnt. Having one button to get back to the feature would save so much time and ones work flow, because the way you access it right now is really inconvenient. Same thing goes for the text box - this little widget with options to edit the text font etc. is always in the middle of the screen covering exactly where I’m typing. (Look at picture) Like that I can’t really use that option to type anything, which defeats its whole purpose.

Same range of colours to be used for drawing shapes as drawing with the pen/pencil like it used to be
The same way it was before the most recent update, as it’s easier when needing to draw straight line shapes with the same colours used for writing/drawing as it’s far more convenient than copying and pasting the colour code

record
In GoodNotes, I can’t open a new file or select pages while recording.
Also, please add a feature that allows recorded audio to be deleted all at once, separately from the written notes!
The recordings take up a significant amount of storage, so it would be very helpful to have a bulk-delete option for audio only, even from outside the notebook.
Additionally, it’s inconvenient that the playback window doesn’t appear immediately when playing a recording.1 vote -
Drop down arrow for the rest of our Pen colors
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

Vertices/ points for shapes
Previously I could easily edit the points/vertices of the shape….. with the new update, it is much inconvenient to edit the points. Please bring it back… it is easily to teach triangle area if I could easily shift the vertex

Floating views
When working on math it is very common to have a formula that you need to reference often. At the moment we always just have to either zoom out, or keep scrolling back to the section we wrote it in.
It would be great if we could do some kind of rectangular selection and have just that section of the page become a floating popup window (perhaps as a small square on the opposite side of our writing hand?) showing the contents that we selected, so that we dont have to keep awkwardly navigating through all the pages.
And maybe this extra feature is asking too much, but it would be amazing if for each notebook we could then have some kind of "index" of all the selections we made so that we could frequently switch what we show in our popup window.

Lack of snapping and reference points when using shapes
Hi everyone,
I’d like to report a limitation I’ve noticed when working with shapes in Goodnotes and ask if others feel the same.When drawing or editing shapes such as circles, squares, and lines, there is currently no snapping or anchoring system. This makes it difficult to align shapes precisely or connect them to each other.
In particular:
There are no visible reference points (such as center points, midpoints, or edge anchors).
It’s hard to find the exact center of a circle or square.
Aligning shapes or connecting lines to other shapes requires a lot of manual adjustment and is often imprecise.
This can be limiting when creating diagrams, technical drawings, graphs, or structured notes, where precision is important.
I think adding automatic snapping and anchor points (centers, edges, midpoints, intersections) would significantly improve the shape tool and make Goodnotes much more powerful for these use cases.
Does anyone else experience this issue or would find such a feature useful?

[Toolbars] Integrating the ‘Eraser Function’ into ‘Writing Tools’
Currently, the Eraser Function and Writing Tools are two different tabs. This disrupts the continuous flow of writing, as users have to frequently toggle between two different tabs. This issue is especially vital as the tabs are at a higher eye level, thus users have to take some moments to locate, and select the eraser function when needed, which also causes users to mistakenly tap onto another mini tab.
This brings about inconvenience to users, especially since the flow of thoughts is disrupted.
Thus, I would propose shifting the position of the eraser function into the writing tools tab. This would greatly enhance users’ experience with GoodNotes. Would really appreciate if this feedback is taken, thank you so much!

Support for STEM Students (LaTex, Codeblocks, Circuit blocks)
I know a lot of engineering students that use this app, but have to use many other apps as well to take coding, circuit or higher level math classes. I use https://www.stempad.com/editor but would rather use GoodNotes6 because of all your other great features. The code and circuit block don't even need to be functional, just formatted like code and maybe helps you code like VS Code based on the language. It just takes a lot of time going back and forth between apps.

Standardschrift
Die Standardschrift soll für ein Dokument einstellbar sein (wie bei der alten Version)
Es ist unglaublich mühsam, bei jedem neuen Text Feld öffnen: Schriftgrösse, Fett oder nicht, Schriftfarb etc. einzustellen.
Bitte Bitte ändern sie das!!!!!!!!!!

Capabilities for Andorid and Windows
It would be nice if Android and Windows finally got the same capabilities as Apple. Adding new fonts, uploading stickers, and many other things unfortunately don't work at all. This has been a known issue for years.
