  1. Writing using pens is glitchy, I see the line or letter I am drawing flicker from visible / invisible, drawing shapes is terrible and can't be rotated! Erasing seems glitchy with shapes too.

    Please revert back to old releases until the bugs are worked out on these new algorithms, because the writing process is now, at this point, user UNfriendly.

  2. After the update, the timekeeper is hidden and the time seems too small, so it's uncomfortable. Please return the bookmarks as well

  3. The context can be strange because I use a translator. Please understand.
    1. Laser points written as lines have become less readable since this update. Please go back to before the update.
    2. I wish I could modify the sidebar. In my case, I don't use pencils well and often use nooses, so it would be convenient if I could add nooses to the sidebar. And I set it to change to the tool I used automatically if I use the eraser, but after this update, if I use the noose and choose the handwriting tool again, the eraser will…

  4. 最近大量使用套索工具,還有複製貼上筆記在不同的檔案
    舉例來說我在文件A使用套索工具選取筆記,如果要複製到剪貼簿,必須圈選完點右邊的的更多選單,才能選取複製。不然就是要複製在該頁面,然後剪下,才能在文件B貼上筆記
    此外,貼上的筆記的選單也跟圈選時不一樣,因為編輯有時候有特定且大量的操作,希望整個自訂功能可以完善,自訂出一條在個人使用特定幾個編輯功能可以最有效率的工具清單~

  5. Geodreieck:
    Wie viele andere Nutzer Wünsche auch ich mir ein Geodreieck. Dazu möchte ich, dass die Kästchen bei der karierten Vorlage angepasst werden(1Kästchen=0,5cm).
    Text:
    Das neue Update hat das Tippen auf der ganzen Seite verkompliziert.
    Vorher waren Tippen und Tippen auf der ganzen Seite getrennt, jetzt muss man immer lange gedrückt halten, damit man auf der ganzen Seite tippen kann.

  6. Hand drawing could be improved massively with a horizontal and vertical mirroring tool. Technical and scheme drawing would be much cleaner and faster.

  7. The audio playback feature is inconvenient because when I switch to another tab and come back, it doesn’t stay at the original playback position.
    Also, I hope the audio playback feature can include a function to jump directly to the note position.

  8. 4 thumbnails in one row makes it very hard to see what page is it. 3 thumbnails should be better to discern what is the page contents.

  9. I would like to respectfully suggest that the cursor icon displayed while hovering be changed from the current dotted shape to a pencil icon.
    I use Goodnotes while giving online lectures, and I find the current dotted cursor neither aesthetically pleasing nor easy to see. As a result, it can be difficult to clearly track the pen position while writing. I believe that changing the cursor to a pencil-shaped icon would greatly improve both visibility and the overall user experience.
    Thank you for your time and consideration.

  10. 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

  11. When I try to write with the keyboard, the text doesn’t appear right away — it’s like the touch input isn’t responding properly. This kind of issue feels unacceptable, especially for a note-taking app. Previously, I could simply tap and type immediately, but now I have to tap, type, then click twice on the screen before my previous note ends, and even then, I need to press the keyboard tool or “T” again to start typing a new note. It seems like whoever designed this update has never actually taken notes during a lecture. This update added unnecessary steps —…

  13. Now that lock has been implemented, I find it too easy to select the locked object, making writing on top of it difficult.

    How about something like a long press to unlock or something like that so the locked item stays locked and unselected.

  14. Have you used Liquid Text?

    Thay have an amazing feature where it is possible to pull extracts out of documents and display them on a workspace then link the ideas together with drawn lines or links.

    Something like this, not the same obviously that worked with extracts, links and tags would be amazing.

    Thanks for your hard work.

  15. Hi, as a language learner, i love the flashcard feature so much! But can you make some features so we can instantly dump our numerous list of vocabulary into one file? Maybe by a simple coding, where we can just copy-paste our list of vocabulary into flashcard. Cause now, it is taking so much time to navigate and make it one by one.

    Thank you so much!

  16. Easy to replicate - write absolutely anything and you will see a gap between your pencil tip and the ink appearing on-screen. Mine is about half a second behind on the newest iPad Pro M4 13-inch with a Pencil Pro. This should really be optimized.

    Running iPadOS 26 with Goodnotes 7.

  17. In the recent update, everything fell apart. I strongly recommend a HCI team that conducts research on UI properties before making radical changes to the whole experience. Some strong changes can deter existing users!

    Also, just like the android phones and the iPhone, please make the experience almost identical in some areas, as it encourages migration according to users needs without hesitation. For me, the only strength for Goodnotes is its backup and sync feature. So make sure the differentiation on that front is robust, while slowly improving other features. How does this help? If notability users also see that…

  18. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    I am a heavy user of Goodnotes on iPad with a Magic Keyboard.

    I would like to suggest adding keyboard shortcuts for page navigation, such as:

    Next Page: (e.g., Cmd + Right Arrow)
    Previous Page: (e.g., Cmd + Left Arrow)
    Go to Specific Page: (e.g., Cmd + G)

    Currently, I have to manually swipe or tap the screen to turn pages even while typing, which interrupts the workflow.

    Having these shortcuts would significantly improve productivity for users who use external keyboards.

    Please consider adding this feature in a future update. Thank you!

  20. Fix the zoom bug in text docs. When I click on Zoom in, it doesn't do anything. I have the same issue with increasing font size as well.
