1. New update = hot garbage

   1. The tool bar being ON my document is blocking parts of my notebook, making my working area smaller.
   2. When in split screen mode half of the toolbar disappears(we used to be able to scroll over still) and will only reappear if i make the window bigger.
   3. Instead of functions being displayed on the toolbar i now have to press extra buttons to get to things like the bookmark, but why?
   4. Why is my pen automatically the lasso? In GoodNOTES you would think i would automatically need the pen no?
   5. Not everything needs to be a drop down menu! The double bar was goated! One tap to get to things NOT FIVE!
   6. The text box function is completely ruined. I have to tap it extra times to move it or expand it, but why?
   7. WHY ARE TEXTBOX CONTROLS ON MY SCREEN BLOCKING MY DOCUMENT?? JUST PUT IT BACK AT THE TOP OR ON THE SIDE OR SOMETHING BUT ON THE DOCUMENT I AM TRYING TO REFERENCE?? WHYYYYYYYYYYY?
   8. Press and hold to go into text mode? Why? There was a nice button that we could press that would instantly take us there. Now we press the text box button and then press and hold. Just for it to look odd.

2. Line

   With the new update, it seems that the it is difficult to draw normal straight lines with the draw and hold. Now, it draws a bit of a straight line and then starts another line. Before, I could draw a line and adjust the end point. Now it seems that it just starts an alternate line. Additionally, if line is too short, it makes a twisted circle shape…

3. Fixing the pen and highlighter straight line/zoom window.

   I am a great fan of this app, however since the new update (version 7.0.4), I've noticed that the pen and highlighter snap to straight lines/shapes feature has been substantially less accurate/sensitive which makes drawing graphs and models incredibly difficult as it will merge many of my 'corners' into a single line. I draw tables with the highlighter tool but dislike how separate strokes will be darker where overlapped, so being able to draw a graph in a single stroke requires the sensitivity and accuracy from before the update. Currently, it doesn't matter how many 'corners' I draw with the highlighter as whenever it snaps into straight lines, it will miss out the majority of lines I actually drew and I hence cannot create my tables anymore.

   Even before the update it was tedious to make tables with one highlighter stroke, but possible. Now, my single sharp-cornered strokes typically snap into a single shape or a stroke that is missing the majority of 'corners' I need to make the tables.

   With the pen tool, if you have a solid straight line already drawn and want to connect a dashed or dotted line to the end of the first line, it will turn the entire shape/collection of lines into a dashed or dotted pen, which is also really irritating when I need different types of lines to differentiate my work. I suggest reverting the way the pen and highlighter tool functions back to before this update.

   I would also like the opportunity to edit the blue toolbar such that I can access the zoom window without having to enter a separate drop down menu (like before the update) as it would allow me to have quicker access between writing and the use of the lasso tool.

   I have included pictures to illustrate these issues from update 7.0.4. and would really appreciate if this could be implemented as it does deter me from using the app from frustration. It is starting to also impact my education in that I am unable to study at my most efficient capacity and unable to illustrate what I am studying and researching in a comfortable and efficient due to the new incapabilities.

   Please feel free to contact me should you want more information/feedback.

   Best,
   Previously happy, but currently appreciative but less content customer and supporter of this business.

4. Movable tool bar above text box

   When using the text box to answer questions on homework, the pop up box covers up the question I’m trying to answer. So can we please make that movable or hideable?

5. Shape tool color/thickness should match pen color/thickness automatically

   My app just updated, making the toolbar different. Now if I want to use the shape tool to make straight lines or something, I have to manually change every setting from size to color to match my pen tool every single time I change colors/sizes. This makes it very frustrating when I do color coded notes every single day that need me to switch between colors, line thickness, and free drawing vs straight lines constantly (as is visible in my attached screenshots). It was never an issue before, so the fact that it is now is very upsetting. On top of that, I use custom colors that I now have to get put onto the shape tool so my colors match. Of all the things that had to change, this is a MAJOR inconvenience because I need to keep up with the professor but I also need to do my notes my way for them to be effective for me, and this just adds unnecessary time and effort that was not present before.

7. Texto justificado

   Precisamos urgentemente da opção de texto justificado, é uma função básica. Além disso, vocês tem que fornecer a possibilidade de alinhamento do texto com as imagens, para sobrar tanto espaço quando o texto estiver associado a imagens.

8. Audio recordings improvement for new Update

   The new update is not user-friendly at all. The toolbar is difficult to use, and this is especially evident in the audio recording feature. When you start recording, a separate window appears outside the toolbar, taking up screen space and getting in the way. In the previous version, recording was indicated only by a small discreet icon in the toolbar, so writing wasn’t interrupted.
   In addition, when you play back the recording, every time you want to stop it and play it again, another unnecessary panel pops up on the left side of the screen, making the process time-consuming.

   Overall, I’m really disappointed with the new update—to the point that I’m considering switching apps, even though I’ve been using this one daily for two years.

9. Latest update forced me to go back to Goodnotes 5

   The new Oct 2025 update makes it impossible to use Goodnotes as I used to. The grouping of tools doubles or triples my clicks, the default lasso break the writing flow and I can't draw straight lines without a ruler anymore.
   I am going back to Goodnotes 5. This update makes using the app very frustrating.

    It would be helpful, especially when taking notes, to be able to make different levels of bullet points, not just one level as is currently available.

13. Improve handwriting to text converter by removing newlines

    Right now, when I convert my handwriting to text with the lasso tool, it also converts all the newlines. Any time I went to the next line because the line was full, the text now does to too. However, since text is more space-efficient, the newlines are placed randomly. There is no fast way of removing them, and when I ask AI to do it, it always changes some words as well, which I don't want. Can there be a way the converter understands my page layout or a button that just removes all newlines at once?

14. Handwriting Refinement

15. Notebook Synchronization

    Integrating a synchronization button within the three dots menu of a notebook would help synchronize it when working on it from a laptop or iPad, as there is a synchronization delay between the two devices. This would allow the user to avoid going back to the main menu to synchronize the notebook and then return to their work.

17. [Animations] Reduce opening animation time for folders and sidebars

    GoodNotes feels very slow and outdated when it comes to the slow animation when clicking on folders. Instead of feeling snappy and responsive the long animation leaves me feeling sluggish.

    The same goes for when I open the page view sidebar and the search sidebar. These slow opening animations are outdated and make GoodNotes feel unnecessary sluggish when compared to Notability’s snappy, simple animations.
