Permanent laserpointer dot following the handwriting pen
Whenever you are writing on an already somewhat full page (be it in a classroom setting or in a video that you might publish), it would be very helpful to have a visual indicator to tell the viewer WHERE you are writing. Especially if you have to jump between several places on the page, this makes it much easier to follow.
I would therefore like to see an option where the already exisiting dot laserpointer can be turned on to follow the pen for heightened visibilty.

Please enable the Zoom In / Zoom Out options on the MacOS Desktop App
By default, macOS allows us to use 'Command +' to zoom in and 'Command -' to zoom out of any app. This seems to be disabled on the Goodnotes app. Please try to enable this, it helps a ton on scaled displays.

Making site more accessible
Hello, I really enjoy your site. I work at a community college with students with disabilities and I refer students often. I noticed when I ran your site through wave.webaim.org and there were a few areas that could be easily fixed. I am requesting that you use the site to improve the accessibility.

Half-Page Turn
I Guarantee you this will make your app 3x more appealing to performing musicians. I use Goodnotes for ALL my score studying but I always need to export to Piascore or Forscore for my performances just because of their half-page turn feature. I’ve been doing this for a couple of years now but the jumping between apps has becoming really tiring. I’m begging you, please add this feature to the read mode.

Einfaches kopieren von Wörtern
Gerade ist es so, dass wenn ich eine PDF eingefügt habe ich nur sehr umständlich
einzelne Wörter markieren kann um diese dann z.B. zu kopieren.Ich muss erst das Textfeld erstellen Symbol auswählen
Dann kurz die linke Maustaste gedrückt halten und kann dann erst markieren.
Und wenn ich das Wort dann markiert habe funktioniert die Tastenkombination Str + C nur bedingt.Und außerdem ist es sehr schwer die richtige Zeit zum Mauszeiger bewegen zu finden da oft einfach ein Textfeld erstellt wird oder garnicht markiert.
(Keine Ahnung wieso das so kompliziert ist)Kann ich nicht einfach wie in einer PDF den Text leicht markieren können und kopieren ohne das noch irgendwas anderes passieren kann?
Würde mich sehr freuen wenn das geändert wird sonst fühle ich mich gezwungen Goodnotes nicht mehr zu benutzen!

Undo/Redo Buttons
Please bring back the undo and redo buttons in the macOS version of Goodnotes. It is dearly missed by this teacher that uses Goodnotes for instruction.

Spline function and connection dots
We need a spline function, it is really hard and long proctor draw a functions, plus with the new update the connection dots are much bigger and can’t even get a good connection between curves, it drives me crazy because I draw a lot of functions

Toolbar Default Pen Setting
"Currently, Goodnotes does not have a specific feature that automatically sets the toolbar to start on the Pen tool when switching between files. The Pen tool is the first tool in the Handwriting Toolbar and can be selected manually, but the app does not remember or default to the Pen tool automatically upon file switching," Goodnotes Support.
It would be great if a toolbar customization update allowed you to make the pen feature the default tool when switching between documents instead of the lasso.

Toggle that allows a Shaded Shape Without Outline
Please bring back the ability to erase the outline while keeping the shaded fill after using the “hold to perfect shape” feature. It was super useful for creating clean shaded boxes and diagrams. A toggle to separate fill and outline would be amazing!

Floating sticky notes in margins
l want to request sticky notes or comments that can be in the margins or in the sidebar, independent of being linked to a single page. Imagine having a sticky note on your desk with reminders or instructions that you put next to your notebook. in this particular context, I want to have the instructions for an assignment posted outside of the page that I can refer to at any point to make sure I’m on the right track.

Please make the vertical scrolling smoother.
It is clanky and feels like it has friction for every page. It really kills the experience.
Also it would be a lot better if you could make the pages continuous when scrolling vertically like in Notability.1 vote -
Font dropdown window
Currently, choosing a font is time-consuming, not efficient. There are so many steps to choose the font I need. The recent update made it worse.
Now, a tiny window pops up with the default chosen (never the one I need). I then select "Custom Fonts" and a larger window pops up. I go find say, Bodoni. Change my font. But I find I don't like that font. I have to highlight the word or words, the small window pops up again, I choose Custom Fonts again, then have to find another font from the beginning. I'd like it to default to whatever font I chose initially (the Bodoni), so I don't have to start all over looking for a font that works.
I am a font snob and choosing the perfect font for things is everything to me. However, with GoodNotes, it's so stinkin' time-consuming that it's more frustrating than fun.
Check out how Procreate does it. They do a pretty good job at font selection. It's impressive. Shows it bold, italics, etc. Gives a preview of how the font looks.
GoodNotes is such an amazing app, and I am confident y'all can master the efficiency factor for using fonts if time is given to it.

Text Doc export

Connect playback to what was drawn
You should be able to click a recording, and it take you the page where it was made, and say you went over different pages while make the recording and drew things on the different pages, as the recording is going, it should take you to those pages
Inversely, if you drew something while making a recording, there should be a view where you can easily see what things you drew during a a recording vs just drew normally
ALSO, crucially:
I might be reading a several hundred page book, and I have my thoughts on a certain paragraph that I would like to capture in a voice recording. I would like to put down an icon the looks like a microphone or something next to the paragraph, and then add my recording there
Then, when I click the microphone I can hear the audioAnd, I can click a microphone in some many, and get to the page I put it down at

Find and replace text
For long text documents, it would be helpful to have a find and replace option. I have a document, for example, that has 124 instances of the same name that needs to be changed. Right now, I can only do it manually in Goodnotes 6.

Shape tool
I really love the addition of the elbow/curved line correctors, perfect shape tools, and stroke settings, however the issues coinciding with these are making them hard to enjoy.
1. Arrows and other connecting lines auto attach to other shapes in the document with seemly no way of detaching them. I understand they are called connecting lines for a reason and are meant for connecting diagrams and flow charts, but I almost never use them to connect objects or shapes. This makes using them to draw arrows and other pictures very frustrating and annoying. The new shape tool does not have the ability to turn off "snap to other shapes" or any other general settings to edit shapes like hold to draw. It would be nice to be able to use hold to draw with the auto shape tool as well to draw "imperfect" or irregular objects instead of having to switch back to the pen tool while using the shape tool. The pen tool has these settings and I tried turning off snap to shape but it didn't fix the issue. Hopefully this will be part of the toolbar customization but if not, please add this back so connector lines do not auto attach to other shapes.
2. Shape selection is difficult and inconsistent. Tapping with the finger is kinda annoying. It's much easier and more convenient in the flow of writing to use the pen to tap to select (which does still work for the most part.) Many times after drawing a shape & especially connector lines, the shape will not select by tapping with finger or pen. I have to zoom around the page or click other tools then try again before selection works. This seems to be maybe just a glich or a bug but it would still be easier if we could choose to select with the pen only.
3. Previously there was a way to round the edges of a shapes by holding down after drawing but that does not seem to work anymore. Please bring back this function or add this to the shape editing options.
4. It would be nice if there was a setting to use the same color presets with all of the different writing and drawing tools. It's annoying to use a color (especially ones not in the default custom colors) in the pen setting then switch to highlighter or shape tool and need the same color but it is not in those presets. I also don't want to add all 50 or so different colors to 3-4 different presets.
5. Other miscellaneous ideas: ability to flip an image/object/shape vertically or horizontally in addition to rotation, use other tools like lasso and shapes while using the zoom window, group and align options for different selections (text boxes with pictures, objects, images, other shapes).I really love the addition of the elbow/curved line correctors, perfect shape tools, and stroke settings, however the issues coinciding with these are making them hard to enjoy.

Backwards and Forwards Buttons Unusable
Hello Goodnotes,
Currently the 5 seconds backwards and 5 seconds forwards buttons are unusable, since hitting them causes lag and they often don't work.

Squeeze Toolbar should always be on top
I think that the "Squeeze" Toolbar should always be on top layer of UI. Now that when you use the lasso tool it auto pops up the the UI bar. If I use squeeze since that was the last action I took that should be the UI element that I see.
Hopefully this is an easy fix.

Recent Issues with Textbox Typing + Toolbar + Lagging + Further suggestion
1 - the toolbar being on top of the textbox itself is terrible. It blocks seeing text around where I'm typing which is really bothersome.
2 - the pin-tool stops whenever I try editing the textbox length (which is very often since it doesn't automatically align with the length anymore) which makes the app think ive used a different tool and completely defeats the purpose of pinning the tool in the first place.
3 - I often need to restart the app mid lecture because it crashed mid-typing in textboxes . The app is unable to accommodate basic fast typing. Its has many features but its most basic features are extremely faulty.Lastly, I suggest that if you would like to keep every tool to keep every user happy, please create a mod section that people can download rather than changing the entire app every 2 weeks and causing more bugs than fixes. Thank you.

Screenshot
Each newest verion of the app makes things worse and worse. Before this latest update if you selected the lasso tool and had handwriting seletion off when you took a screenshot the handwriting would be omitted from the screenshot. Now even with handwriting seleted off you take a screenshot and it includes the handwriting. What is the point of not selecting handwriting if it is still showing in the screenshot?
If I hadn't spent $30 and had years of notes for school, I would switch apps. I am so disapointed with what this app has become. They're just pushing AI features that no one seems to use or even want and trying to get everyone's money instead of focusing on what the heart of the app is...taking notes.
