   Add Hungarian recognition. Lot of Hungarian students would appreciate at least Hungarian grammar even if the Hungarian handwriting recognition is not available

3. [New languages] Catalan

   I hope you introduce the catalan language in hand writing recognition. At this point the feature is useless for me.

   Regards on seeing it soon

4. 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?

6. [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   GoodNotes feels very slow and outdated when it comes to the slow animation when clicking on folders.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 These slow opening animations are outdated and make GoodNotes feel unnecessary sluggish when compared to Notability’s snappy, simple animations.

8. Bullet list / Sub-bullet points

   Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

11. Options Bar Update (October 2025)

    Every time I select anything on screen with the lasso tool the options bar pops up BELOW my selection. Once I go to click out of my selection, the trash button is in the way and deletes my writing. Why on earth would the options bar pop up below when holding down on the selected area results in ANOTHER bar popping up on top of the selection. Super annoying and frustrating when the new position of the tool bar makes me delete everything I select with the lasso tool.

12. Bring back the ability to draw straight lines

    After the latest update, drawing a straight line using the shapes tool is often impossible: If the line I'm trying to draw is close to another line it will snap to either a curved line or a straight line in a very different position from where I drew it. This is a major regression.

    In the attached picture, I drew a square and attempted (several times) to draw a diagonal straight line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. The first time it snapped to a vertical line, the second time it snapped to a horizontal line, the third and fourth time it snapped to some other curves. None were even close to what I was trying to draw.

13. Allow us to PIN a few tabs from all the currently open tabs

    So let's say I'm opening 20 different lectures on goodnotes at the same time as well as one file with a checklist of all my lectures. Once I finish I lecture I have to go searching and hunting around all my open tabs for that checklist file in order to tick that lecture off. It's very annoying. I really want to just pin that checklist file because its something I like to keep open on goodnotes all the time and its a document I need to return to all the time. Allow us to pin up to three tabs and fixate their position as the first three tabs so that they're always easy to reach.

    Google chrome does something very similar to this. I am attaching a video link below showcasing what google chrome offers. Please please please this would be a game changer for my workflow and productivity.

    https://youtu.be/C5tvtZfbXZI?si=FLu7R0eobdT3qHmL

    During exams, the number of open tabs on goodnotes can exceed the 40s and it becomes so cluttered when I try to look for a certain file. Yes technically I can exit the tab I'm opening and go back to "home" and search for the file but thats slow.

14. 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.

15. Fix the typing features ASAP

    The typing feature really needs some attention guys. Tell me why when I try to type a page of notes the whole thing glitches out and either won't save my stuff or doubles all the words I've written on top of each other. You also can't continue typing onto a new page like it suggests. This new update also lowkey made the feature worse because now you can't just click on a page to type and you also have to click back to the textbox icon every time you want to drop a box. Overall, the typing features are inefficient and just low quality compared to the rest of the app which is great.

18. Full Dark Mode

    I’d like to request a full Dark Mode, comparable to Notability, including:
    • Dark UI and dark page/paper backgrounds
    • Automatic ink/highlighter/sticker color adjustment for readability
    • Both per-notebook and global settings, plus an option to follow system appearance

    This would reduce eye strain when writing/reading at night and improve usability on high-contrast displays. If Goodnotes offered this, I would return and subscribe.

    Thank you for considering this.

19. Toolbar: Fully customizable single row (Pen/Eraser/Highlighter/Shape/Lasso/Image)

    TL;DR
    Allow any tool—Pen, Eraser, Highlighter, Shape, Lasso, Image, etc.—to live side-by-side in one toolbar row with free reorder, show/hide, and (optionally) multi-row layouts.

    Problem
    After 7.0.6, Lasso sits outside the main toolbar and Pen/Eraser are locked in “handwriting tools.” Switching between Lasso ↔ Pen, Eraser ↔ Shape costs extra taps during dense annotation.

    Proposal
    • Make the toolbar fully flexible:
    • Place any tool on the main bar; reorder via long-press drag.
    • Show/hide tools to keep the bar compact.
    • Optional multi-row layout for users who prefer more tools visible.

    Impact
    • Reduces 1–2 taps per switch across hundreds of switches in long study sessions.
    • Mirrors workflows in pro creative/notes apps where users tailor the toolbar to their muscle memory.

    Environment
    • Goodnotes 7.0.10 (iPad)
    • Apple Pencil; heavy PDF annotation

20. Goodnotes 7 downgrade to 6

    Dear GoodNotes Support Team,

    since the recent update to GoodNotes 7 (version 7.0.3 [3413431.108865178]), my workflow has become significantly more difficult. I had deliberately disabled automatic updates, because I was fully satisfied with GoodNotes 6, which worked smoothly and intuitively for my daily academic work.

    Unfortunately, the new version has not improved anything for me — quite the opposite.
    The new user interface feels less efficient and visually cluttered, and the keyboard text tool has become cumbersome to use.
    I now have to:
    • tap the edit icon every time I want to adjust text,
    • manually switch back to the text icon each time I start a new note,
    • and constantly deal with the floating text toolbar, which follows the text field and blocks important parts of my slides and annotations. + there is no possibility to save a text form and size as standard, what the...

    This moving toolbar is extremely distracting and makes it hard to read or edit existing notes.
    Overall, the writing and text editing experience — which used to be simple, fluid, and precise in GoodNotes 6 — has become slow, fragmented, and frustrating.

    I have already tried every possible setting to restore the previous text editing behavior or revert to GoodNotes 6, but without success.
    I would therefore kindly ask you to help me return to GoodNotes 6, or provide me with access to the previous version which retained the more efficient and user-friendly design.

    GoodNotes 6 was perfect for my needs, and the recent changes have made the app almost unusable for my workflow.
    I truly hope there is a way to revert or use a “classic mode” with the old interface and text tools.

    Thank you very much for your understanding and assistance.
    I look forward to your reply.
