Rotating items using lasso
I found this feature very helpful with my creative designs in previous versions of the app. I have long loved Goodnotes and am disappointed that I can no longer easily use this feature. While using lasso you can see that I can adjusted the size but there is no longer the option to rotate the selected shape.

Why was it removed?
Why were the Arabic fonts removed? All my friends and I are upset about the removal of the Arabic fonts. If they are not returned, I and all my friends will cancel the subscription and it will not be renewed. This is a tragedy. I have a project that I have been working on and coordinating for three years. I am surprised that today it is in a state of chaos because of the removal of the fonts that I was applying to it.

Sync between iOS and Windows/Android
I am a user who subscribed to the Goodnotes Essential plan a few days ago. I was looking into why my Goodnotes library won't sync between Windows and iOS, and I found the following text:
'If you purchased this plan before September 23, 2025, you are eligible for Goodnotes Cloud. If you purchased this plan after September 23, 2025, you will need to upgrade to the Goodnotes Pro plan to use Goodnotes Cloud.'
When will cross-platform sync be supported for the Essential plan? I subscribed to this plan because the pricing clearly indicated that the Essential plan also supports cross-platform…

[shapes] Please bring back the old shape settings
I can’t really use the new shape tool to teach geometry.
The new version
- attaches the handwritten data to the shape, so I can’t move them separately
- automatically deletes parts of my handwritten notes if it’s on a shape
- it’s not possible to rotate the shapes.
- I can’t remove the border of the shape.I attached a few drawings that could be made easily in the previous versions.
Thanks if you consider to bring back the previous settings for the shape tool.2 votes -
Dark Theme for Slide Show / Presentation Mode
I would love to see a dark theme option in Slide Show (Presentation Mode). Currently, presentations are displayed with a light background, which can be harsh on the eyes, especially in low-light environments such as lectures or bedside teaching.
Notability already offers a Dark Presentation Mode, and it’s extremely helpful for reducing eye strain and improving readability during night study sessions or when presenting in dim rooms.
Adding this feature in GoodNotes would:
Make presentations more comfortable on the eyes.
Improve usability for students, educators, and professionals who work at night.
Keep GoodNotes competitive with similar apps.

OCR for Inserted Images and Imported PDFs
It would be incredibly useful if Goodnotes could apply OCR to both inserted images and imported PDFs. This would allow users to search, highlight, and copy text from all types of study materials.

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.

Marker Overlay Tape Triggers Selection Mode

Dark Mode for Handwriting Templates
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I love using GoodNotes for note-taking, but I think a dark mode specifically for handwriting templates would be a great addition. While the app supports dark mode for menus, the note pages themselves remain white, which can strain the eyes during long study or work sessions.
With a dark mode for note pages, users could:
Reduce eye strain during night-time or low-light usage.
Customize page backgrounds for better visibility of handwriting.
Maintain the same experience without affecting exported notes.
This feature would enhance comfort and usability for long note-taking sessions. Thank you for considering it!

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!

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.
