  1. The amazing LaTeX conversion feature is currently hindered by the need for us users to manually insert LaTeX code (like \textcolor{...}) whenever we want to change the color of a rendered equation.

    To significantly enhance our experience, I ask you to integrate the standard Text Color Picker to allow for direct, easy and instant color changes upon selecting a converted equation. Implementing this would automatically handle the underlying code changes, making it extremely practical and fast to style the converted equations.

  6. When recording, or even post recording,would be good to show different speakers like otter does. Even if it says speaker 1, 2. The nest obvious build would be to rename the speaker 1 and speaker 2 etc…

  8. I’m a Pro user and have noticed that in the desktop app, text boxes often appear cut off until I click on each one. This can be quite time-consuming when reviewing notes with many text boxes.

    I would love to see a feature that allows text boxes to automatically expand or fully display their content by default, without needing to click on each box individually.

    This improvement would greatly enhance the user experience and help maintain note readability across devices.

  9. Allow us to use the old versions of tools, whether an option in settings or the tool itself. Tools like the line editing tool are now useless at smaller levels as the circle used to select the line can be massively larger than the line itself, making it impossible to actually see what you are doing, but in the past it used to scale with how zoomed in you were. Other tools like the shape tool also have been affected by this. I make many complex drawings and diagrams for physics and I can no longer do practically any of…

  10. We want to create each notebook to have its own font, font size, font colour, Pen, Pen size and pen colour as well as our own colour palette so that every time we go into each of our notebooks they will have their own formatting setup. Thus please create the option to save different colour palettes etc.

  11. In previous versions of GoodNotes, when creating a shape (e.g. rectangle, circle, etc.), there was an option to choose whether the shape should be filled or not. This was extremely useful, because sometimes I needed just the outline of a shape, and other times I used the fill color without an outline.

    With the new update, this option is gone. Shapes are always filled, and it’s no longer possible to have only an outline or only a filled shape without a border. This limits flexibility and makes it much harder to use shapes in different contexts.

    It would be great…

  12. The new feature “White board” was launched, but the default language won’t applied.
    My native language is Japanese, and I set it as a default language.
    However, the default language for “White board” is not Japanese but English, and I need to change the language everytime. I hope this bag will be corrected.

  13. Ability to connect sticky notes with connectors to enable true mindmapping experience.
    Currently it's available only for shapes, which allows building quick diagrams and flowcharts. But it's not powerfull and flexible enough for true mindmapping, which requires sticky notes and content that they store.
    Apps like Miro, Apple Freeform have this feature, for example.

  14. I want to be able to set the default text size, font, etc., for when I convert my handwriting to text. Some pages it spits it out huge, sometimes not. Consistency would be a game changer, and a space saver.

  15. When exporting a large selected area as a PDF, handwriting often becomes pixelated or blurry.

    It would be helpful if users could draw an “8” shape with the selection tool to divide the selected area into multiple regions. The intersection of the “8” could act as a separator, allowing Goodnotes to automatically export the content as multiple PDF pages (two or more, depending on the gesture).

    This feature could work on both Whiteboard and Notebook pages, making it easier to export large handwritten notes while keeping the text quality high.

    1. Could you add an option to make autoshape tool as sticky tool. I usuanly draw shapes, add connection to them, adjust size and position, then keep on drawing. After adjust shapes, it gets back to Lasso tool automatically, then I need to switch back manually every time I want to keep on next shape.
    2. Another thing is about the connector. Could you add a function so I can delete intermediate point on a connector. Too many relay points make the connector difficult to adjust.

  17. I don't know the situation on iOS, but on Android, GoodNotes isn't available in my Country. I live in Uruguay, a Latin American country with advanced technology. It's a real shame that the app isn't available in much of this region. I'd really like to be able to use it.

  19. Hi, I would like to leave a suggestion that is very important to me. If possible, could you please add an option to move the Goodnotes toolbar? Currently, it is only available at the top in a horizontal layout, but it would be great to have the choice to position it vertically or even as a floating menu.

    This feature would make it much easier to reach tools with the stylus, especially on large tablets where we often write in portrait mode (with the short side at the top and the long side on the side).

    I hope you will…
