Quick navigation to previous page / Back or Return Button
I have a suggestion that I think would make it even more useful for reading and taking notes. When I read a PDF document, I often come across references or links that take me to other pages within the document. This is especially useful when the text contains a reference number or symbol that I need to look up to fully understand the content.
However, one thing that can be frustrating is when I follow a link to a new page and then want to return to the page I was reading before. In order to do this, I have to scroll back through the PDF, which can be time-consuming and distracting.
That's why I would like to suggest that the app include a shortcut that takes the user back to the page they were reading before clicking on a link. This would save time and make the reading experience more seamless and enjoyable.
With this feature, users would be able to easily navigate back and forth between different pages and references within the PDF, without losing their place in the document. I believe this would be a valuable addition to the app and would make it even more user-friendly for people who read and take notes.

on-device AI for iPadOS 26
With the Apple Intelligence ability on-device (for free) you can start to use the LLM for processing documents without needing to use cloud services.
Goodnotes 6 is pretty awesome - but due to my employer's restrictions on using cloud services I can't use it. If I could set my app to only use my local iCloud storage and only use my on-device AI capabilities now available in iPadOS 26 then I could use this app.
It's a shame that I can't and I hope you guys consider this feature.

Too many ‘click’ or steps to convert text.
It takes too many steps to convert handwriting.
1; circle /select handwriting
2: tap circle, hope the menu comes up
3: tap the 3 dots button
4: tap convert
5: tap text
6: tap convert again
7: change font because the default settings don’t apply to converted textShould be 2 steps
1: circle/select handwriting
2: tap a convert buttonIf it makes a mistake, you’d have to edit it anyway. So the pop up is redundant.
I know this is possible because your code is already ‘converting’ the handwriting in order to be able to spellcheck and search handwritten stuff. It’s tooooooo many steps.

Shape Library
The existing shape tool uses a "draw and hold" feature to automatically recognize shapes. While useful, this can lead to incorrect shape detection, especially when drawing quickly in time-sensitive environments like college lectures. The tool may select the wrong shape, causing frustration and slowing down workflow.
Implement an option to pre-select specific shapes (e.g., rectangle, circle, arrow, straight line) before drawing, similar to the shape selection tools available in Microsoft OneNote or Word. This would allow users to choose their desired shape in advance and draw it more quickly and accurately without relying on the shape recognition feature.
By giving users the ability to pre-select shapes, the tool will become more efficient, particularly in fast-paced settings where speed and accuracy are critical. This would reduce the time spent correcting mistakes, enhancing productivity and user satisfaction.

Add LaTeX Equations in flashcards
I wished I could insert equations into my flashcards in the text part. Just like how I would insert an equation in LaTeX... Since GoodNotes allows to convert handwritten text to LaTeX equations, it would be nice to insert the LaTeX code directly into the flashcard for studying formulae.

APPLE PENCİL
You need to provide an Apple Pencil that works like a signature pen. As I increase the tip sharpness in the pen settings, the pen starts behaving in the opposite way — not as it should. I'm attaching an image. Please bring this kind of pen.

Apple Pencil Pro floating tool palette should support tool options popup
The floating on-canvas tool palette that shows up when I squeeze my Apple Pencil Pro should show the tool options popup when I double tap a tool on it, just like the main toolbar.

Measured Crosshairs (or Grid)
Tap a crosshairs icon on the toolbar to add a crosshairs placement tool (similar to the ruler) that automatically disappears after the very next object has been placed on the page at the crosshairs.
The crosshair’s lines are measure marked and extend automatically AND continually to all four page edges (similar to the ruler). But, the node at the center of the crosshairs specifies the exact placement for the very next object placed on the page. The lines on the crosshairs locate that node relative to the edges of the page.
To use the tool:
1) Tap once to select the tool.
2) Tap and hold the page in the general area where the next object will be placed.
3) Drag the center of the crosshair’s node to the exact location where the next objected will be placed.
4) Release to select a specific tool like a text box or an image box.
5) Select that tool’s icon. The crosshairs disappear as that tool’s empty box is placed on the page.
6) Interact with the empty box as normal.
Crosshairs NODE options:
1) Center the tool’s empty box at the node OR place the a specific corner of the empty box at that node.
2) Keep the crosshairs on the page to reposition for adding another tool’s box OR make it disappear to continue working.
3) Size input fields to pre-specify exact size and shape of the added box
4) persistent and/or saved default settings
5) snap to the node

open links and previous page
Long tap > “open link” can be a bit cumbersome whe navigating through a document. It would be smoother if you could double or triple tap to click a link. Additionally, if you need to jump between two pages quickly, it would be a lot smoother if you could then jump back to the previous page. For example, going from a to-do list with individual items, following a link to a sub task page for each item, then following a link to a notes page, then ax t the original to-do list.

Turn off "summarize" AI feature request
Every Goodnotes file I bring up on my iPad has the (annoying) "Summarize" option pop up.... I do not use it, it would be great to have a "turn this off" feature. Thank you for making a great product!

In the add page option of good notes app. Please provide a option of default page lock of my own choice.
Subject: Feature Request – Option to Lock a Default Template in “Add Page” Menu
Dear GoodNotes Team,
I’m a regular user of GoodNotes 6 and truly appreciate the powerful tools the app provides for organizing and annotating my study material. However, I wanted to suggest an improvement that could greatly enhance the user experience:
📌 Feature Request: Set a Permanent Default Template for “Add Page”
Currently, when I add a new page within a notebook, the app shows Recent Templates and inherits the current page’s attributes. While this is helpful in some cases, it becomes frustrating when working in imported PDFs or mixed-layout notebooks — the template defaults become inconsistent.
What I’m requesting:
• An option to lock a “Global Default Template” (e.g., Blank, GoodNotes Standard, Portrait).
• This template should always appear at the top of the “Add Page” panel, regardless of the page I’m currently on.
• Ideally, it should appear next to or above “Recent Templates” for quick one-tap access.This simple option would save a lot of time and prevent confusion — especially for users who rely on a consistent note-taking format.
Thank you for the great work on GoodNotes, and I hope this feature can be considered for future updates!
Warm regards,
Bipul kumarSubject: Feature Request – Option to Lock a Default Template in “Add Page” Menu

レイヤーシート機能があるとうれしいです。
デザインの仕事をしております。
その際にレイヤーシート機能があると打合せの際に書き換える必要なく様々なデザインをご提案できると思います。他デザインアプリ コンセプト や プロクリエイトにある機能にはなります。
無料アプリ 自由ノート（freenot）にはその機能が入っているようです。
ご検討の程よろしくお願いいたします。3 votes -

Make the Ai feature smarter
HI! Nursing Student here. (also I swear by GOODNOTES till the day I DIE!) While I am very aware of the AI feature "Ask Goodnotes", I wish that when I ask it to re-word something or say it in a different way, it would do that instead of literally changing the words around to form a new sentence. Like the other competitors of Ai software, NOT NOTE TAKING APPS (I love GN) have it be able to answer questions with a response not just based on the imported slides but also using sources from the web similar to the big "no name" Ai software. Or atleast for now improve it so when I ask can you re-word in a simpler way " Cluster of life events is associated with the onset of illness" it doesn't answer it by listing information on the next slides. While it does "re-word" it, I'm simply only looking for the specific sentence to be reworded not providing me with that is yet to study on the following slides!
