What's New in Goodnotes

7.1.10

August 3, 2026

* Fixed crashes that could occur when opening the Change Color menu, using the Toolbar's More Options popover, switching to iCloud while offline, or starting Auto Backup with no files uploaded. * Added Selective Eraser, allowing more control of the content type removed with the eraser. * Added alignment guides and smart spacing when moving objects on the canvas, helping everything line up with consistent, even spacing without manual nudging. * Get more space back on your Notebook pages by pulling the page down to close the secondary toolbar. * Fixed color palette clipping in the Text Box Style and Change Color menus on iPhone, and corrected Image Crop's dark mode appearance under Liquid Glass. * Fixed scrolling and delete issues in the object menu, a misplaced rotation handle, a flickering canvas element, and a glitch that could occur when scrolling between pages side to side. * Fixed several issues with the Images tool. * Fixed website links added via Add Link not working, a duplicated title after splitting notes, and slash-command sizing issues. * Fixed text issues, including undo in text boxes, cursor tracking in Text Documents, and numbered list markers resetting while typing. * Fixed issues with audio transcription and AI-generated diagrams. * Improved security when opening certain legacy GoodNotes 4 files. * Added a clear message when a document needs a newer app version to open and improved messaging when iCloud storage is full. * Fixed sign-in appearing inside the settings popover for Goodnotes Education, the in-app keyboard not opening for the SSO email field in landscape mode, and Sample Lesson documents falling out of sync. * Restored the audio sidebar automatically opening when a recording starts. * General bug fixes and stability improvements.

Poor customer service

Very difficult to resolve issues. Auto renews even though I have canceled!

Great besides new update

Great app but new updates have made using the toolbar so difficult and painful

Aplicativo ótimo

Aplicativo ótimo para estudos trabalho ou até mesmo jornol adorei

Have to repurchase ?!

I regret updating to GN6. I had already paid for the app, but after the update I lost access to basic features. I can only view my notes , can't edit them. Its extremely frustrating to pay for an app then lose the functionalities. This update has made the app practically useless for me. I expected my purchase to be respected ! Not to have essential features locked behind another upgrade. Very disappointed!!
