Change the text box when you say it in a good way
This update is seriously frustrating.
Why does the tool automatically switch to the lasso tool after using a text box?
The previous version was much smoother and easier to use — now it just feels unnecessarily inconvenient and irritating.
It honestly looks like this change was made without any real consideration for users.And if you’re not even reading App Store reviews but just telling people to “send feedback,”
it really makes us wonder if you actually care about what users are saying.2 votes -
add support for game controllers(gamepads)
I hope to add support for game controllers(gamepads) and the ability to customize key mappings, so that we can use the controller(gamepads) with my left hand to control which tool to use, and use Apple Pencil with my right hand to write. Not everyone has the latest Apple Pencil Pro, which makes it difficult for those without Apple Pencil Pro to experience the quick switching of pen tools.

Cartesian co-ordinate system tool
Hello Goodnotes Team,
I am a dedicated user of your app, and I love how it has transformed my note-taking. I have a feature suggestion that I believe would be immensely valuable for students and professionals in mathematics, science, and engineering: the addition of a built-in Cartesian Coordinate System tool.
The Suggestion
Currently, users must manually draw or import graph paper to create graphs. My suggestion is to implement a feature that allows users to instantly generate a customizable Cartesian coordinate plane on any page, similar to how the Shape Tool works.
Key Customization Options
This tool would be most…1 vote -
Goodnotes 6 Beta: Writing/Typing functionality in Notebooks (like Word), not just in the new "Text Documents"
In the current beta, the ability to type text directly into classic notebooks (e.g., DIN A4) has been removed. Instead, text can now only be added via individual text boxes. At the same time, you introduced the new “Text Documents” – a fantastic feature that I find very well implemented.
However, the current setup lacks the flexibility to combine both writing methods within a notebook. Many users – myself included – like to work in a way where we write with the stylus on one page, type on the next A4 page, and then switch back to handwriting again. This…

Shape Tool: Horizontal snap for underlines (no hold required)
TL;DR
Please add (or restore) horizontal snapping in the Shape Tool so near-horizontal strokes become perfectly straight underlines without draw-and-hold.Problem
In Goodnotes 7.0.6, to get a perfectly straight underline I must use Pen/Highlighter and pause for draw-and-hold on every stroke. This breaks flow when underlining many items per page.Current behavior
• Pen/Highlighter: can “perfect” a line with draw-and-hold.
• Shape Tool: lacks horizontal snap for quick, hold-free underlines.Proposal
• Add horizontal snapping in Shape Tool: if the stroke angle is within a tolerance of horizontal (e.g., ±5–10°), snap to 0°/180° automatically.
• Provide a quick toggle on…2 votes -
upgrade to comment section
comment section in goodnotes is very limited
Trust me majority of goodnotes users are medical students and they uses goodnotes for books mostle sometime for new notes
so when you read and highlight premade books and pdf there is very little space for adding new points and pictures
i want goodnotes team to upgrade the comment section so you can add pdf or pictures to the comment section and enable highlighting in comment section and when comment section popups on clicking on it it should be more larger windows so people can read the pdf/pictures/direct text with hightlights more easily…7 votes -
Select all and paste
I used to be able to select all by double tapping or holding in the midst of something I've written, now the option is gone.
I also was able to press and hold in an area to paste something l had copied _ since the update these options are gone and every tune I want to paste this annoying pop up comes up - please never to the way it was before.

tape
Hi! The tape feature is such an incredible tool to help learning. I use it a lot to cover long answers in the exercises. Sometimes there are large areas to cover with tape and have to 'paint' it all. It would be interesting to have in this feature the possibility of drawing tape shapes, like squares and circles that I can resize.

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.

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 -
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.

Table of Contents
Please create an auto-generated table of contents template, that can also be edited. This should include an option to sort by date, through your outline, or topics.
Someone else said "Allow me to select the text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display the date of that entry for easy reference." THIS IS GREAT AND SO HELPFUL.

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…

disable snap to shapes
I wish there would be a setting to globally turn off snap to other shapes. I often find it rather annoying when trying to draw lines closely together. A global setting to not be on by default would be a game changer for me.

macOS 13.7 is unable to synchronise with iCloud
I own a 2019 MacBook Pro with a high-end configuration, and most software runs extremely smoothly on it. I spent a significant amount of money purchasing the Mac version of GoodNotes, but now I can’t use the sync feature due to a version issue. Do I really have to buy a new computer just to use this function? That’s absolutely ridiculous!

PDF Accessibility
When exporting PDFs into and out of Goodnotes, accessibility features like alt text on images, reading pane orders, etc. are totally lost. As an instructor, I have been using Goodnotes to annotate pdfs of notes in class, but I cannot post those annotated pdfs because they do not meet our University's accessibility standards. Exporting as editable or flattened files does not help with this.
Creating a PowerPoint and setting up accessibility info. in it is not difficult, and those translate perfectly to Adobe Acrobat and are recognized by Canvas. Ideally, it seems like Goodnotes handwriting recognition could essentially add alt.…

Straightening for the Highlighter Tool
Since the newest update, the straightening of the highlighting tool has been "improved", i.e. when highlighting and holding at the end of the line, the shape resembles the original handwriting with more details. But that brings a rather glaring downside: when marking, one usually does not highlight in a perfectly straight line but rather with multiple bumps etc. When holding now, the highlighter often is not converted into a straight line through the text but rather a bumpy line with multiple edges and curves. It therefore does not go straight through the text anymore.
It would be lovely, if GoodNotes…

The color of the pencil tool
For some reason, after the recent update, the pencil tool's color has become very light, and there's no setting to adjust it. I hope you can make the pencil color darker, or add an option to adjust its darkness/opacity.
