  2. Feature Request:

    Dear Developers,

    I would like to request a built-in image quality enhancement feature for the note-taking app. Imported images often become blurry due to screenshotting or file transfer issues, which affects the reading and viewing experience in notes.

    This feature could include (but not be limited to) AI super-resolution technology—capable of sharpening blurry details, reducing pixelation, and improving overall clarity of imported images. It would greatly enhance the usability of the app when managing image-containing notes, especially for users who frequently add screenshots or transferred images.

    Thank you for considering this request!

  4. Notion like document editor. On which I can annotate with pencil. Code format text, colored text, checkbox, toggle and much more like in notion. The current text editor is too rigid. It must be made a bit more user friendly.

    Hello! We’re excited to let you know that we’ve updated the Text tool and introduced a new dedicated floating menu for text boxes, including more customization options.

    One of the new tools is Pin Text Tool — when enabled, it keeps the Text tool active so you can create multiple text boxes continuously without having to reselect it each time.

    This is especially helpful when you're focused on adding or adjusting text in your notes. The pin will automatically turn off once you switch to another tool.

    Feel free to try it out and let us know how it works for you!

    This improvement is available in the latest Apple update.

  6. Notability allows you to drag and drop PowerPoints. To use Goodnotes, I have to open the PowerPoint, export it as a PDF (you must be a Microsoft 365 subscriber to do this), and then import it to Goodnotes. Since all my lectures are PowerPoints, I uses Notability solely because I don't have to open ~15 PowerPoints to export them as PDFs every week.

  7. I truly appreciate the new features introduced with the recent update—they’ve been very helpful. I do, however, have a small request that I believe would make the workflow even smoother.

    Currently, whenever I switch from writing to drawing shapes or lines, I need to manually adjust the stroke width each time to match my pen. This process takes a little extra time and interrupts the natural flow of writing and drawing.

    It would be wonderful if there were an option to quickly set the shape or line stroke width to match the current pen width—or to have a few ready-made…

  9. I use goodnotes without an external keyboard and I found extremely useful the left/right arrow keys to move the cursor when typing because many times it is not easy to place the cursor exactly in the desired position.

    Can you bring them back?

  10. I am left handed and with the undo/redo arrows on the top left corner in Goodnotes 7 I can (and occasionally have) involuntarily touch the buttons. An option for left handed persons to move the buttons on the right top corner would be great

  11. Hello, and thank you for this amazing app. Here is a suggestion to make it even better for those of us who read and annotate dense documents.
    • The Problem: Imported PDFs (like academic papers, textbooks, etc.) often have very small margins, making it difficult to write notes directly on the page.
    • The Solution: Please add a feature to insert blank margins or "padding" around the entire PDF page.
    • Why it Helps: This would allow users to keep all their thoughts and annotations on a single page, right beside the original text, which is perfect for studying and…

  12. Now, when the shape snaps, you can't edit its dimensions by dragging your pen, it only resizes larger or smaller. This is an issue because I have to change the tool to the shape tool to change the dimensions, and this has a minimum width. Goodnotes 6 had a good system where the shape snapped and then you could drag your pen to change the width/height of the box rather than just scaling it up or down.

  14. Can’t figure out a way to record without the dumb AI features. Unknowingly used all my credits in the span of an hour because I couldn’t just record audio and it forced me to do the ai summarize too. So annoying

  18. Text tool in GoodNotes 7 is not sticky. After adding text, it always switches back to the lasso tool. This makes it impossible to stay in text mode or to return with Apple Pencil double-tap/squeeze. Please allow the text tool to remain active like pen or eraser.
