Outlined Pen / Drop-Shadow Ink for Photo Annotations
Hi Goodnotes Team,
I frequently use Goodnotes to annotate directly on top of imported photos and images. Because the current pens only output solid, single-color ink, my handwriting constantly gets lost in the dark or busy areas of the pictures.
It would be incredibly helpful to have a new pen tool—or a toggle for the existing pens—that automatically generates a contrasting outline (like white) or a subtle drop-shadow in real-time as I write.
Right now, I have to interrupt my workflow to draw highlighter backgrounds, duplicate text to create manual shadows, or drop in pre-saved shape elements just to make…

Create a setting to bring back constant pen hover preview
Goodnotes used to always display a preview of the tool; however, now it only shows when you select a new one or move the pen away from hover distance and back.

Adjust default darkness/opacity of Pencil Tool for Apple Pencil (USB-C)
Hi Goodnotes team,
Currently, the Pencil tool in Goodnotes is extremely faint and barely visible when using the Apple Pencil (USB-C), making it practically unusable for daily note-taking.
Since the Apple Pencil (USB-C) lacks physical pressure sensitivity hardware, Goodnotes seems to default to the lowest pressure level (minimum opacity).
Could you please optimize the Pencil tool for styluses without pressure sensitivity? Specifically, please set the default stroke darkness to a standard, legible level (equivalent to normal/medium pressure) when pressure data is absent, or add an opacity slider so users can adjust the base darkness manually. This would greatly help users…

Bolding handwriting
The new handwriting optimization tool is great. However it would be nice to have more options of handwriting as they all look the same and the option to bold it or change the width.

Bring back Document Text
I really loved the text document because it was similar to typing on Microsoft Word and more versatile for me to arrange my study texts. Please bring it back. The box is just too small and inconvenient.

Add more pen options -fountain pen
I would love to see a fountain pen added to Goodnotes, similar to the one available in the default iOS Notes app. It has a unique, smooth writing feel that would make handwriting more natural and enjoyable. I think having this option would give users more variety in their writing styles.
Please add a fountain pen similar to the one available in the default iOS Notes app!1 vote -
Smart Guideline
I would like to request the addition of a “Smart Guideline” feature similar to the one available in Samsung Notes. The feature could dynamically provide a subtle horizontal guideline while writing, helping users maintain a straight baseline even when working on completely blank pages.
I frequently prefer unruled pages because they provide a cleaner and more flexible writing experience. However, maintaining a consistent straight line of handwriting on a blank page is difficult, particularly when writing longer notes. A Smart Guideline that assists with maintaining the writing baseline—without permanently adding ruled lines to the page—would solve this problem very effectively.

Scribble But Without Textbox
I want much more freedom when I write than a textbox! So I'm requesting a feature where you can manually turn it on or off and when you write with your Apple Pencil on your iPad in GoodNotes with any pen (like brush pen, ball pen, fountain pen), as you write in real-time, your text gets replaced with a font. So it's basically scribble as you write with your handwriting and it gets turned into a font but without the textbox limitation. Because it saves a lot of time instead of clicking on the text box icon, then selecting text…

Better combination of handwriting and typing
When taking notes using handwriting and typing with a keyboard case it’s often a struggle to change betweeen the tools.
When the writing tool is selected, I can’t type at all and have to long press on the page to select start typing / edit text. This is very annoying.
The writing mode isn’t very intuitive either. It would be nice to just start typing without clicking many buttons.3 votes -
Bug Report: Faulty PDF text data recognition blocks Text Box and Link tools
Dear Goodnotes Support Team,
I am writing to report a severe editing issue caused by the app's automatic PDF text recognition behavior, which currently frozen manual touch inputs on the document.
When opening a PDF, Goodnotes automatically recognizes the text data and forcefully clusters a wide area into an unwanted purple selection block—even though I did not long-press to select any text. Furthermore, this text boundary recognition is highly inaccurate, capturing oversized regions regardless of the actual text layout.
The critical issue is that within these faulty, automatically recognized text areas, all other manual touch inputs are completely disabled.

제발 개선좀 해주세요!!!!!!!!!!!!
너무 불편함.
아니 텍스트 치고 싶은데 전체 인식처럼 블록이 씌워져서 쓸 수가 없어요.
링크도 왜 내가 넣고 싶은 부분에 못넣는지.
텍스트도 왜 내가 넣고 싶은 부분에 못넣는지.
전체 인식 블록 좀 안 되게 해주세요!!!!!!!!!!!
전체인식 텍스트가 저런 악보나 음표를 인식할 수있다고?
아니요. 저중에서 인식하는것은 페이지번호 60밖에 없었어요.
전체인식도 제대로 안되고 복사 붙여넣기도 안되는데 괜히 이상한 기능을 넣어서 쓰는게 넘 불편해졌어요.
넣고 싶은 곳에 텍스트 넣고 넣고 싶은 곳에 링크좀 넣게 수정좀 해주시면 안됩니까
기본 무료앱도 페이지 아무곳을누르면 텍스트 입력할수있고
링크를 원하는데 넣을 수있습니다.
제발 수정좀 해주세요.

Add Size Control to Text Documents
Please add actual font-size controls to Text Documents. It’s ridiculous that in 2026 I can change text “styles” but I still can’t simply make normal body text larger.
I do not want to turn half my document into headings just to make the text readable. That is not a workaround — it’s bad design.
This is also an accessibility issue. People with eye strain, visual fatigue, or simply different reading preferences should be able to choose a comfortable font size. The regular Text Tool already supports font sizing, so there is no good reason for Text Documents to be this…

Using my own font
It would be super ultra cool if I could upload my own font to Goodnotes. Some apps already do that such as Phonto. When I type in Goodnotes on my Mac, I enjoy using all my Saved fonts. But on my iPad Pro where I do 95% of my Goodnotes work when I look at the text, I inserted using Mac, the font changed..

Add Bottom Over-Scroll (Palm Rest Space)
I’d like to suggest a small but highly practical feature that would greatly improve the writing experience: the ability to scroll past the bottom of a page.
The Issue: When writing at the very bottom of a document or slide, the page stops moving. This leaves no screen space to rest our hand, forcing it awkwardly off the edge of the iPad. It’s uncomfortable and makes it difficult to maintain neat handwriting at the end of a page.
The Solution: Allow the page to be scrolled further up, past the bottom margin. This would create a blank, inactive space at…

Percentage for Zoom and a Lock for it.
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I am writing this email to share a suggestion aimed at enhancing and refining an app cherished by millions of users.
As you may know, many users find it challenging to maintain consistent handwriting size across their notes. To address this issue, I propose displaying the current zoom percentage on the screen when a user zooms in or out. Additionally, it would be extremely helpful to introduce a zoom lock feature for a specified percentage. For instance, if a user zooms in to 120%, they could lock the page at that exact level. This functionality would ensure…1 vote -
Feature Request: Native Inline MathJax/LaTeX Rendering for Typed Text Boxes
Dear Goodnotes Product & Engineering Team,
As a Science student who relies heavily on Goodnotes, I am writing to formally request the integration of native inline math rendering (such as MathJax or KaTeX) within standard typed text boxes.
While the current handwriting-to-math conversion and isolated math block tools are useful for large equations, they create a highly fragmented workflow for typing hybrid content. Currently, it is impossible to type a sentence and seamlessly embed a quick mathematical variable, limit, or expression (e.g., f(x) = y² or θ) without breaking the paragraph alignment, creating a separate canvas element, or using external…

Handwriting, Swedish and Polish
To add more handwriting languages!! I am a Swedish student that uses digital notetaking on a daily basis, and sure, English is close to our language, but å, ä and ö aren't in the English alphabet; it would greatly help to get Swedish in handwriting and into the app itself!
And since I've seen that zero have been done to get this done, and a lot of people still want languages such as Polish, Swedish, etc., and no updates, GoodNotes focuses too much on the aesthetic of the app instead of the functionality that it's supposed to give to students!…2 votes
