PDF Text Selection & Annotation Improvements
The ability to select text from PDFs and having the option to copy, highlight, strikethrough, underline, and define (dictionary, lookup, read).
The already existing annotation options on GoodNotes are good for freehand writing, but it would be GREAT if the annotations be “snapped” directly to the text!

Allow to move handwriting and images between pages when using the lasso tool
It would be great if one could use the lasso tool between pages instead of having to copy and paste to move notes/images from one page to another.

Image occlusion
The new flash card feature is terrific! Thank you! I have been a Anki user for a long time because of their image occlusion add on. It allows you to make a flash card from any image, which has been super useful to increase productivity and minimize time spent making cards. Anki did not have a convenient draw function. Goodnotes has solved that problem for me.
A easy fix would be a solid fill in the shape tool. This would allow image occlusion and make the flash card template unstoppable. I know dental and medical students would really appreciate this…

handwriting to text--as you write
Handwriting to text--as you write. I love GoodNotes. Total fan. It makes ADD me an organized guy. No easy feat. I like how easy it is to edit a notebook's thumbnails. I love the variety of line width--and the instant undo, which I need so often. But, but, but: Last night my wife showed me Jamboard on her iPad Pro--and I couldn't believe how cool it was that her handwriting got turned into text--as she wrote! So I tried this in GoodNotes. Yes . . . . you DO convert handwriting to text--in 13 easy steps. GoodNotes validates my purchase…

Import a whole Folder Structure including Documents
I would like to import a Folder Structure, including Subfolders and Documents and find that structure represented in GN5 after the import. This would make GN5 a much easier to use Documents Management System if one has a lot of Documents before switching to GN5. Currently one has to create the whole Folder structure manually and import the Documents for each Subfolder separately.

Make laser pen brush into a writing pen brush.
The laser pen brush of GoodNotes5 which is tried perfect for Chinese, Korean and Japanese handwriting.
So it’s really nice to add a pen brush same as the laser pen.22 votes -
Schedule automatic backup or offer cooldown period
The current automatic backup attempts to backup your files after every edit and thus (based on my settings) attempts to render to pdf after every single edit. This constant rendering and uploading rapidly drains the iPad battery to the point where I lose about 20-30% per hour of use and as a side effect makes the device very hot and uncomfortable to use.
Instead, it would be good to have an option to either schedule a backup (i.e. once an hour, once a day, etc) or have a cooldown option where a document won't be backed up until say 5…

Insert page of specific size
Please can you add an option where you can customise the size of the page being added? This will be especially useful when adding a new page to an already existing PDF that is not the same size as one of the template options. What would be even better would be if the app could detect the size of the current paged in use (like with the “use current template”) option, but then it lets you insert either a blank or a lined page.

More options in toolbar for zoom window
I think it would be great if the zoom window toolbar could be customizable.
For example, I frequently use the shapes tool so it would be convenient if I could move that tool down to the zoom window toolbar. Or for other users, they may want to move the highlighter tool down, etc etc. If the zoom window toolbar could be customizable, it could be made more efficient for each user’s needs.
Also, I would like to be able to add more than 3 color presets to toolbar. This could be useful for people like me that need to quickly…

Full screen mode for thumbnails
To effectively look over the multiple pages, I believe we need a full screen mode for thumbnails. And if it is possible to change the size of each thumbnail, that would be really convenient.

Zoom box: control zoom magnification size
I'd like to write smaller sized letters in the zoom box, it's more efficient and quicker, especially with a stylus. But if I do, the letters show up too small on the actual notebook page.

Import planner pages with iCal calendar events and notes area that you can write on
I kindof do this by taking screenshots of my calendar and importing into goodnotes, but it would be so much better if the events were automatically updated. Planner pages could be daily or weekly.
Existing planner apps don't allow the handwriting, which makes them not at all like a real planner.

[Integration] Stock Image Search (Unsplash, Shutterstock, etc.)
We really need to provide an online image feature similar to the one shown in the picture. It needs to be like a GIF, and it's very much needed.

Sync between iOS and Windows/Android
I am a user who subscribed to the Goodnotes Essential plan a few days ago. I was looking into why my Goodnotes library won't sync between Windows and iOS, and I found the following text:
'If you purchased this plan before September 23, 2025, you are eligible for Goodnotes Cloud. If you purchased this plan after September 23, 2025, you will need to upgrade to the Goodnotes Pro plan to use Goodnotes Cloud.'
When will cross-platform sync be supported for the Essential plan? I subscribed to this plan because the pricing clearly indicated that the Essential plan also supports cross-platform…
