selecting text using a cursor on ipad
When selecting text on an iPad on a pdf, I have to hold down on a word and manually drag the selection as if I am using my finger. The drag function with a cursor on iPad is currently used to scroll through, but this is much less useful than using two fingers on a trackpad or a scroll wheel. Could the ‘drag cursor’ function please be reprogrammed to select text instead (like in every other application) please??

Stickers - bring back the old menu
Please bring back the old method of being able to tap anywhere on screen to show the sticker menu and have the sticker placed exactly where you tapped on screen. The new method of tapping the sticker icon in the toolbar, selecting a sticker, the. Having to find the sticker randomly placed on the page, then move it where it’s required is such a backwards step and waste of time!

Bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph View
Please add bidirectional links. I use Obsidian as a Personal knowledge management (PKM) vault and love its bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph view. Being able to see how notes reference each other makes large collections of notes manageable while also allowing me to make connections otherwise impossible to see. Please add so GoodNote can be my one stop shop for note taking.

Toolbar disappear
I like the new update, especially where you can make the toolbar disappear, but still write. I want it to stay gone when I double-tap my Apple Pencil to erase. It increases space on the page with it gone, but I would love to be able to switch to my erase (by double-tapping), and not have it pop back up.

Joining pages together for cross stitch
I use Goodnotes for cross stitch. Many of my patterns are PDF files with multiple pages. It would be nice to be able to join the individual pattern pages together to create one seamless picture.

Foulders for favourites
It would be very helpful if the objects saved in “favourites” could be further organized, for example by allowing users to sort favorites into folders. Thank you very much.

Add Opacity Control to Pen Tools
I would like to suggest adding an opacity control (0–100%) to pen tools such as the fountain pen, ballpoint pen, brush pen, pencil, highlighter, and tape pen.
This feature would allow for greater flexibility and precision in note-taking, highlighting, and creative work.

Add a Square-Edged Highlighter Option
Currently, GoodNotes only offers a highlighter with rounded edges. I would like to suggest adding a square-edged (sharp-cornered) highlighter option as well, which would be useful for cleaner, more precise highlighting—especially in documents, textbooks, and structured notes.

Expand Pencil Grades and Add a Mechanical Pencil Tool in GoodNotes
I would like to suggest expanding the pencil tool in GoodNotes by adding a full range of pencil hardness options, including:
12B, 11B, 10B, 9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H, and 10H.
In addition, it would be great to include a mechanical pencil (sharp pencil) tool, which would be especially useful for precise writing, diagrams, and technical notes.
These additions would provide users with more realistic and flexible drawing and writing experiences, similar to traditional pencils.

Add OCR and Live Text Features to GoodNotes
I often import lecture PDF files into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. In many cases, professors or instructors provide materials as text-based PDFs. However, there are also many situations where the files have been converted from PDF → image → PDF, making the text unselectable and turning the entire document into an image.
When a document is image-based, tasks such as translating the content, searching for unfamiliar terms on the web, or asking GoodNotes AI questions about specific text become difficult. Currently, GoodNotes AI’s OCR capabilities for image-based documents are quite limited, and it sometimes misrecognizes text or…

Add PDF Editing Features to Correct Typos and Layout Issues
I often import lecture PDFs into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. However, the materials uploaded by professors or instructors are rarely 100% free of typos or layout errors. These mistakes can sometimes confuse GoodNotes AI, and when typos exist, I often end up importing a blank white page and manually re-typing the corrected text using the text or pen tools.
As PDF editing is becoming increasingly important, I would like to suggest adding built-in PDF editing features that allow users to directly correct typos and fix layout issues within PDFs. This would make it possible to view and…

Add AI Model Selection and File Attachment Features to GoodNotes AI
Proposal: Add AI Model Selection and File Attachment Features to GoodNotes AI
I would like to suggest adding AI model selection and advanced attachment capabilities to GoodNotes AI.First, it would be great to introduce tiered AI plans under the GoodNotes AI Pass, such as AI Basic, AI Pro, and AI Special. Based on the selected AI Pass and the available tokens or credits, users could choose and use different AI response models.
For example: ChatGPT 5.2 (Thinking / Auto / Instant), Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini Flash, or a GoodNotes-native AI model (v1.0).Second, I suggest adding options that allow…

Hability for Disabling AI
I understand that AI is having a big impact on new technologies and it’s amazing the big effort that you are making to include it in the app.Thanks si much.
Some people are love it. But some of us, which we don’t want (at this moment) this type of new technology, because we don’t feel it is necessary or we just want a “basic good app”, we would like to have a “swich” to disable all this AI option, because it takes to much space and resources of the app.
Thanks again for all the work!!

AI Audio Overview from notes or PDF like notebook LM
Notebook LM has a great feature where you can create an audio overview using AI that creates a podcast episode from the content. This is the only reason I use Notebook LM as well as goodnotes and I think this should be on Goodnotes' roadmap as party of becoming a leading AI notebook took.

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!!

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…

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 -
