Laser
Since the recent update, the laser got to make layers by each stroke. But it’s very inconvenient when I am writing letters, as the previous stroke shows up darker and the handwriting gets so messy.. please change it back so it can be used with one layer.

Shape autofill
I used to use the shape snap feature when writing notes. Previously the shape would automatically fill in with a less opaque colour, and I had the option to erase the filled colour using the erase tool, or leave it but change the colour(both of which I used on different occasions). In the new update I can't erase or change the filled in colour and my only options are to disable the autofill colour altogether, or to just ignore it. I don't understand why this feature was removed.

Partial Synchronizing
I've been using more and more files on Goodnote and I realized it would be great if we can select which files/folder to sync to other devices while keeping the rest locally. For 1, this saved much space in icloud, especially for those who has many files in Goodnote. For 2, people can have more freedom in synchronizing while having access to necessarily files in Goodnote on other devices.

Text and drawings
I believe it would be amazing if we could have a document such as a text document and be able to draw on top of it. Now with all the new updates you cannot do that except with text boxes. For example, when you are following a class and need to put explanations and grafs or anatomical drawings etc. you must switch from one doc to another or even from one app to another. I believe text boxes aren’t that practical.
I saw notability has this option but I prefer Goodnotes so I’ll stick with you <31 vote -
iCloud Drive sync
Have GoodNotes auto sync into iCloud drive similar to how it can sync for Google Drive. I'd like for my notes to be accessible through the apple files app, since it's so commonly used when using Apple devices.

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.5 votes -
Shape editing was better in Goodnotes 6
I regularly use the shape to draw curved lines and then edit their shape to create larger, more complex shapes. Currently, that‘s next to impossible:
- Editing points don‘t scale with zooming; especially when editing small lines, the points now cover up the lines entirely.
- These lines are often glitched out and turn invisible while editing, especially when multiple lines are connected together.
- After editing a line, Goodnotes automatically selects the lasso tool instead of the pen, making the drawing process very tedious.None of these issues occured with Goodnotes 6, I hope these issues are fixed with…

Remove filename extensions when importing files into GoodNotes (Mac version)
When importing files such as PDFs into GoodNotes 6 for Mac, the document name keeps the filename extension (e.g., “Document.pdf”).
Please automatically strip extensions upon import, or at least provide a toggle in settings.2 votes -
Text Box Line Change
Please disable this automatic line changing or increase the limit of words for line change. It doubles the work as again we have to stretch the box to make while text appear in single line.

Image Insertion
Please allow us to choose image after tapping on desired location like earlier rather than Choosing the image then moving it to desired location as it doubles the work.

[Oct 2025 Update] - Geometric figures
Add the possibility of remove the object area that anchorages writing, forms to a form.
This new feature doesn't allow drawing over some figures and makes the drawing experience terrible on goodnotes.
Let the user choose in he needs the area or not.It would also be nice to be able to draw geometric shapes that are more similar to those drawn by hand.
For example, quarters and semicircles, which are currently transformed into parabolas.1 vote -
Undo the automatic update
How can I undo this last version of Goodnotes 6? I liked it better when the recording symbol wasn’t this horribly obvious as a big orange square. and I like it better when the toolbar didn’t move. Is there a way I can undo this update and back to the previous version of Goodnotes 6?!

handwriting disappears on sticky notes
When writing on a sticky note sometimes the text I wrote, not typed, will disappear behind the sticky note. I have to collapse the sticky note and reopen it in order for the text to show on top of the note.

Hold and Fill Color, Deletion of the outlines
When you draw something and hold, there'll be a faded color of your pen inside the shape. The latest update make me couldn't delete the outline of the shape and that makes taking notes way worseee. I love those more than highlighting. PLEASE BRING IT BACKKKK I BEG.

Feedback on the new toolbar design — please reconsider.
상단바 내의 버튼들 눌렀을 때 옵션창이 밑애 새로 생기게 한 점, 진짜 너무너무 화가 난다.
이런 글 처음 남겨보는데, 9월 전으로 되돌려놓은 게 좋을거야.
너는 공책을 가리는 앱을 좋아해? 5도 사고 6도 샀는데 진짜 이번 변신이 최악이다.
이러한 인터페이스를 제시한 사람을 저주할거야.
진짜 너무 짜증이 난다. 뭐 자꾸 새로운 거 하려들지말고 유지보수나 잘해줘.I truly don’t understand the decision behind the new toolbar behavior.
Having option panels suddenly appear below when tapping buttons on the top bar feels incredibly counterintuitive and distracting.I’ve never submitted feedback before, but I really believe reverting to the pre-September design would be a wise…

audio recording accessory
Hi! After the latest GoodNotes 6 update, a small recording bar shows up on the top right when recording audio.
It’s fixed there, and since I’m right-handed, I keep accidentally touching it while writing — which stops the recording 😭
It would be great if we could move it or just have a small recording indicator in the main toolbar instead. That would make note-taking while recording so much easier!Thanks a lot for listening 💙

Feature request: auto-add date and folder name when creating new files
It would be really helpful if, when creating a new notebook or whiteboard, GoodNotes could automatically include the current date (e.g. “September 1, 2025”) and optionally the name of the folder (e.g. “NameFolder – September 1, 2025”) in the file name.
This would greatly improve file organization, especially for users who create many documents daily (like teachers) and want to keep everything tidy without having to rename files manually.4 votes
