1. Window and GoodNotes (Apple) Integration

   On Windows 11, the GoodNotes app doesn't work as well as I would like.
   The documents written in GoodNotes doesn't sync onto the Windows 11 app. Instead, I have to share them VIA a link and access them that way. I also use gDrive to sync my GoodNotes, but the UI of viewing GoodNotes files on gDrive is just ... ugly... Would much rather prefer to use GoodNotes on Windows 11 and my iPad.

3. Eliminate hover in windows

   It's very annoying, the hover effect they recently added to GoodNotes on Windows. Visually, it makes my eyes get tired quickly when I move the mouse over the document.

4. Add a bookmark button on the tab for easy access

   Wow! This was already in goodnotes but it was removed for some reason, so add it back. There is no reason to remove this feature. Let is bookmark pages with just the toolbar without opening the pages tab or the more options menu

5. 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.

6. Hope you can change back to the previous design for the tool, recording and save my fav's setting

   Hi, I'm an iPad user. The new design is currently very inconvenient to use. The floating design of the writing toolbar feels awkward and cramped. Moreover, bugs occur when switching to other tools. The recording tool occupies too much space, and the large, noticeable logo during recording makes me feel unsafe. Additionally, having to open the toolbar to record is very troublesome. After clicking to record, switching to check slides is cumbersome because it requires multiple clicks. To bookmark important slides quickly, you must first open the tool list, then add them, which is very inconvenient. I really hope it can return to the previous design or be further improved and optimised!

7. Handwriting to text capitalization issue

   Before the last major update, I never had issues with handwriting to text conversion capitalizing the first letter of the first word of the first sentence. Since the update, I have to rewrite the word (sometimes twice) to get it to recognize it's the beginning of a paragraph. Don't seem to have the issue once the first sentence is completed. This is time-consuming and frustrating, so a fix would be much appreciated.

9. Integrated AI handwriting improvement

11. Missing text features in goodnotes 7

    In GoodNotes 7 it is no longer possible to set a default text style, and text backgrounds are missing. Both features existed in GoodNotes 6 and are essential for my work (e.g. creating assignments, official documents). Please clarify: is this a bug that will be fixed, or a deliberate design decision that will remain?

13. GoodNotes 6 did this better. Bring those text features back.

    I’m glad to see that some parts of the app have improved with the latest update. However, the text editing experience is still much less convenient compared to GoodNotes 6.

    Why did you add the unnecessary “Modern, Classic, Technical” text panel in the text box? Please replace it with the “Recently Used Fonts” feature like in GoodNotes 6. Many users frequently switch between multiple fonts, so removing that feature truly makes no sense.

    Also, I really hope you bring back the option to keep the font, size, and text settings fixed at the top like in GoodNotes 6. Something that used to take one tap now requires two or three taps — and it feels like a step backward rather than an improvement.

    I appreciate the efforts being made, but I sincerely hope the next update will further improve the text experience and usability.

14. Restore font size and style adjustment in full-page text mode

    Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve recently noticed that in the latest version of GoodNotes for iPad or Iphone, the “full-page text input” mode no longer provides an option to change the font size and style.

    In previous versions, users were able to freely edit both the font size and font style while using full-page text mode. This was especially useful for multilingual users like me who often type in Chinese and Japanese — since these languages have different character heights, being able to adjust the font size ensures that the text aligns properly within each line.

    In the current version, however, the font size and positioning appear inconsistent when switching between these languages, and without the ability to modify the text style or size, it’s quite difficult to make the layout clean and readable.

    It would be greatly appreciated if you could bring back or add the option to edit font size and style in full-page text input mode. The attached 3 pictures are the example how the fonts are not aligned and how do I make them aligned within each line in the previous version of goodnote6 (6.7.2 (3291127.89652630))

    Thank you for your consideration and for continuously improving GoodNotes!

15. When I rotate an object, I want to be able to rotate it without re-sizing; the two features should be separate.

    The rotate, resize objects is currently tied to together, therefore when I just want to rotate an object I can’t unless my hand is really steady otherwise it resizes the object as well - these two functions have to be separate.

16. The new unified writing tool is very inconvenient

    Hi, I’d like to share some feedback about the new “Unified Drawing Tool.”

    I use GoodNotes professionally as a teacher — during presentations, I do live-style writing and drawing on the screen.
    In my workflow, I switch very frequently between the pointer, pen, highlighter, eraser, and lasso selection.

    After the recent update, all the writing tools are grouped under one button, making it much slower to switch tools and really interrupting my work.
    For me, it’s essential to have my writing tools on the same toolbar level as the pointer and lasso.

    Please make this customizable again, or at least bring back the previous toolbar option.
    The extra step to open the grouped menu may seem small, but it adds up and causes real disruption when teaching live.

    I read that customization might be added in a future update, but I really hope this can be prioritized — the current design is a serious downgrade for anyone using GoodNotes in professional or teaching contexts.

17. Bring back old text box mode (no double tapping for confirmation and unlimited boxes)

    The new update on the text box mode needs to be reverted. Firstly, you have to tap twice in order to confirm the box, which is already inconvenient enough, but on top of that the text box mode will switch to the lasso tool after one box??

    It is VERY inefficient to take notes on lecture manuscripts, now you have to double tap everytime to confirm it and then you need to reselect text box mode...

    Before that you could place unlimited boxes and you didn't need to double tap to confirm. Bring it back please!!!

18. Different Interface and tools

    The new update is terrible, the toolbar I don't mind very much (annoying but I can live) but the shape features are absolutely terrible. Before the new update I could make circles at an angle and trapezoids to my liking, and perfect right angles (stem major so every important) and now the only thing I can draw are ovals straight across, I cant even make a trapezoid, when I use the hold feature to draw a right angle it doesn't come out a perfect right angle it is always slightly off, and when I use the shape feature to make a right angle it always comes out as a curve instead as a corner and you cant change it!!!

    Ways to fix this:

    -for the circles let us draw a circle and then bring up one of the little rotation toggle to rotate shapes

    -make the hold to snap for angles a right angle not slightly off

    -make the shape tool snap to whatever shape you initially drew then bring up an option (when you tap on the shape) to turn it into a rectangle so that we are able to keep whatever shape we wanted initially

    -for the line feature of the shape tool make it so that if you tap on the line feature there is a drop down box and in the drop down box there is an option of "sharp angles" or "natural angles"

    The new update is terrible, the toolbar I don't mind very much (annoying but I can live) but the shape features are absolutely terrible.

20. Single color palette for all tools

    Please consider adding the ability to create a single color preset palette that can be used & modified by all applicable tools (ie pen, highlighter, pencil, shape, and text). I have at least 50 different pen tool color presets that are not all presets for the highlighter, shape, and text tools, but are used regularly to color code notes. If I write something in one of those colors then need to draw/highlight/type something later in the same color but the preset is not saved in the respective tool, I either have to copy the color from the pen tool or go back to the original writing and use the paint dropper to color match it. Both of which are not convenient compared to immediately selecting the exact color preset right from the tool. Even more inconvenient is to add 50 colors plus every new color added after that to 4 different tools. New colors added to a single ubiquitous palette would be available as color presets to all tools at the same time. One option is to create a color palette feature where color presets are added and modified separately in a standalone tool but apply to which ever writing/typing tool is in use. Another option is the ability of other writing tools to use the pen tool's color presets by enabling this feature in the tool's settings.
