Custom pens
I like pens of a specific thickness because of my handwriting, but I find it a hassle to have to select my preferred pen size all the time (I feel the smallest default size is too big, so I like 1.0). I would like to be able to set some customized pens as “favorites” to be able to easily switch between them, similar to how we have some default pens. To add to this, I think adding textures to the pens to give it a traditional look would be great, along with a stabilizer setting to make our handwriting smoother.…

Please allow the ability to Embed videos and youtube videos as well as PowerPoint/word/excel documents
I use GoodNotes to create revision notes. The ability to add videos and/or embed online videos from sites such as you tube or Vimeo would be a great asset. Moreover, the ability to either link, or embed Microsoft documents such as PowerPoint/excel/word would also be very very useful. That way I could condense 25 thick binders full of info, into one place on my iPad.

Add ability to return to tab screen from document list screen without opening new document
When browsing to open a document, it is impossible to return to the tabbed document screen without opening a new document. It would be nice to be able to return to the tabbed document screen without being required to open a new document.

Disable the page turn animation
The new version added the page turn animation, but doesn't give the experience of reading ePub on iBooks.
The animation looks very amateur, and quite annoying when trying to go back and forth for references. Hope add an option to disable this feature, just like what other apps do.

GoodNotes AI is Unnecessary
The new features feel unnecessary and almost like bloatware. Other LLMs, such as DeepSeek, Gemini, etc are AI tools that other companies, universities, etc have licenses with. The AI credits are also useless - what is the incentive to use GoodNotes AI vs DeepSeek, Gemini, GPT4, etc, if you need to pay $9.99 more per month.
There isn't a way to turn off AI in GoodNotes either, which is pretty frustrating.
A huge motivation for people to switch from Notability to GoodNotes was the better UI and affordability. Paying $9.99/month for AI credits, for a feature I haven't seen many…45 votes -
Calendar Integration Support
There's nothing more satisfying than having calendar templates that actually integrate with most common calendar formats (at least google calendar or Apple iCloud Calendar).
Some awesome functionality:I would like to DRAW the length of an event and have that correspond to the assigned duration of the event, have Apple Calendar display my written notes on the calendar (similarly to how Apple Notes does it), have some advanced notational features that translate into editing notes or stuff in the calendar.Or at least have a weekly or monthly planner template that also allows some "add to calendar" functionality or "get a…

Option to exclude folders from iCloud sync
Goodnotes 5 syncs all documents to the iCloud. It would be great if the user good choose not to sync certain files and folders.
Thank you very much!

Option to adjust line thickness of existing writings
When using the lasso to select drawn items, there's an option to change the color and "resize" the selection. It would be convenient to also have an option to change the line thickness, as well.

math
Notability now offers an extension that allows the user to convert written math into a digital font (trig functions, integrals, summation, greek alphabet etc.) I think that this would be one of the most utilized features in goodnotes if it were to be added. It is infinitely more appealing and much easier to understand especially for very large problems.

Sort by highlight color
Please add a feature where I can view all of the phrases/sentences I’ve highlighted in a particular document, sorted by highlight color and arranged by page order. Preferably exportable into a PDF file. It would be very useful for students like me. Thanks!

Chemistry Shapes
Hi, the shapes figure option has a lot of difficulty recognizing hexagones and octogones, and double lines. It would be really nice to be able to draw those shapes for organic chemistry! Thank you so much!

Full typing capability like a word processor
Would be great if the textbox function did more to convert the page to a full word processing document rather than being restricted to the paramaters of a word doc. This would mean automatically going to the next line when typing, font/formatting automatically adjusting to the page template (i.e. actually typing in the lines when I'm using lined paper instead of me having to resize the box and font to try to get them aligned), adding strikethrough and other functionality, etc. Especially for goodnotes desktop! This would completely eliminate onenote for me if I could markup pdfs and take handwritten…

Support Fillable Form PDF's that will also allow for handwritten notes.
Currently, a Fillable Form is rendered inactive when uploaded to GoodNotes 5. Handwriting is still functional, but none of the Form Fields are. It would be excellent if we could fill out a form, and then make notes on the side. The Form should then be exportable, with all notes, and completed Form Fields.

End-to-end encryption for document sync (even with manual transfer of the password)
To use GoodNotes in a company environment and to process confidential data, encryption of all data transfers is a must-have.
Use a standard strong crypto implementation to encrypt all data send via internet to BackUp or sync servers.
For me it is OK to enter the (strong) password on each device every time or to store it locally on the device. But the data on the external servers should be fully encrypted.
The system should be well documented and certified by external IT security experts.

Allow background template colours to be changed
There are lots of comments regarding different colour templates. It would be great if the background colour could simply be changed whilst continuing to use the same template format. Either that or include a spectrum of colours for each template design so changing the paper template doesn't affect the notes already taken.
