Recording Playback Window
When listening to recordings, the pause, play, and progress bar used to be at the top of the screen and now they are in a window and in the way and I often accidentally hit it with my hand or pencil which is incredibly frustrating. Please put it back.

When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without
I am a user of GoodNotes on a Microsoft Surface Studio (Windows version) . When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without manually resizing each time.
Why it’s important:
Saves time and friction: each time I start a new text box, I currently have to resize it manually.
Provides a consistent look and layout across notes, especially when writing longer paragraphs.
Makes Windows version closer in functionality to what iPad version has, enhancing cross-platform consistency.
Suggestions for implementation:
Option in settings: “New Text Box Default…

Feature Request: Sync Pen Colors, Add Matching Paper Sizes, and Expand Sticker Library
1- Sync Pen Colors Across Devices
It would be great if custom pen colors automatically synced between all devices linked to the same account (iPad, Windows, Android, etc.). This way, users can keep a consistent color palette without having to recreate it manually.2- Add Paper That Matches the Document Size
Please add an option to insert new pages that automatically match the size and layout of the current document. This would make it easier to keep documents consistent without adjusting the paper size each time.3- Add More Built-in Stickers
Expanding the sticker library with more categories (study, productivity,…2 votes -
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!

Optimization Issues in GoodNotes for iPad on Apple M-Series Chips
This proposal summarizes optimization issues that include chronic overheating, performance degradation, and user experience problems occurring in the GoodNotes iPad app, even on high-performance Apple Silicon devices such as the M1 iPad Pro and newer models equipped with M-series chips.
The core objective of this proposal is to respect the hardware constraints of the iPad’s fanless design while fully leveraging Apple Silicon–specific hardware accelerators, including the Apple Neural Engine (ANE), through a truly native architecture approach. By optimizing GoodNotes in accordance with Apple Silicon hardware characteristics, the app should regain a “Pro-level” stability where users no longer need to restart…

希望白板上的图片、笔迹、形状等加入锁定和建组功能
现在放大导入的pdf或者图片并对其进行修改或加入内容时，经常会误触底层的图片，导致其浮到顶层，就看不到正在更改的内容了，而且也无法快速调回去（因为这种情况下只能选中顶层的图片），必须缩小显示内容重新选中一下边上的空白，非常不方便。
而且白板上似乎没有多个选项建组的功能，如果有的话会更方便。1 vote -
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.

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!!
