Sync with bunch of cloud services
We definitely need to sync data of GoodNotes with other cloud storage services rather than iCloud!
Since we only have 5GB with default in iCloud, it’s pretty hard to maintain available storage.Please add a ability to link with cloud storages that we usually use.(including Box, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox etc.)
Especially Box would be very nice for me!19 votes -
Dedicated Rectangle tool
To draw a simple rectangle using the Shape Tool takes too much time and is also prone to error (often not getting straight angles). Much better would be a dedicated rectangle tool, where start at one edge and open diagonally a rectangle. This would be much faster and less annoying to use.

Finger-activation of hyperlinks in edit mode
Currently, hyperlinks in pdf files seem to be activated only in view mode.
When using styluses, this kind of limitation is not necessary.19 votes -
Zoom Box tools as in GoodNotes 4
It was very convenient to use the tools (pen color, eraser, one step back...) in the zoom-in box, but it is gone in GoodNotes 5. Please bring them back, they are critical in writing efficiency! Thanks!

Page number not starting with cover
Do not start page numbering with the cover. Just like a book the number should start after the cover. Ideally I’d like the option of selecting where it starts, that way I can add my own TOC (journal summary) and not number the TOC page(s).

Insert and delete blank space, select whole lines
For a fully functional editing of longer handwritten notes (with math) I miss inserting things in between (and conversely removing something erased elsewhere). Although tracing with the lasso tool the perimeter around a paragraph is too tedious, a selection tool that can select the whole lines (maybe snap to the text a bit) would be great.
Although an option for drawing only with Apple pencil but not with hand is needed.

Improvement of pdf loading speed
Loading A4 sized scanned pdf with 300dpi takes between 1 and 5 seconds per each page for iPad Retina when continuously viewing next pages, which is very slow. And it shows a blank page until it fully loads a page.
In contrast, Note-shelf shows low resolution page first then load full resolution image later. This is very convenient when searching for a specific page while scrolling to next pages. Goodreader precaches adjacent pages in advance, therefore there loading speed is very fast.
It would be nice if Goodnotes improve pdf loading speed by loading low resolution image first or precaching…

Personal Handwriting Model / Handwriting Cleanup
I would love to see a feature that allows users to create a personalized handwriting profile that GoodNotes can use whenever AI edits, corrects, or improves handwritten notes.
How it could work:
1.Create a Personal Handwriting Profile
- The user writes the full alphabet (uppercase and lowercase letters), numbers, and common symbols/punctuation marks in their neatest handwriting using a stylus.
- GoodNotes saves these samples as the user's personal handwriting model.
- This handwriting model becomes the reference style that AI uses for future handwriting improvements.2.Handwriting Cleanup
- Users can write notes naturally, even if their handwriting becomes messy…18 votes -
Real-time handwriting beautification (Apple Pencil)
I’d love a feature that automatically refines handwriting to a font or refining my actual handwriting in real time while writing, similar to Freenotes.
I would like to:
- Smooth and standardize strokes live
- Keep the user’s handwriting style OR apply a font
- Improve legibility and aesthetics instantly
Use case:
- Annotating PDFs where neatness matters
- Taking notes that look polished without rewriting
- Digital planning
Why it matters:
Currently, GoodNotes requires manual conversion or editing. A real-time system would:- Save time
- Improve visual quality
- Compete with newer apps offering live handwriting refinement
Optional features:
- Toggle on/off
- Adjustable “cleanliness” level
- Style presets (natural…

Add security to protect our documents against your AI
Your AI is very obviously scanning and learning from our documents, sketches, etc. This is a huge breach of trust.
One huge use of Goodnotes for me and I am sure many others is to have a place to sketch out ideas. I cannot continue to do this in the knowledge that you are very obviously scanning and training your AI off of our ideas.
Without that foundation of trust there is no way I would recommend this application to anybody anymore.
Please rethink your AI integration. Apply AI only with consent and respect that "no means no".

Allow text sizes below 8pt (1–7pt)
Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.
I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.
In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.
However, in previous versions, being able to use 1–7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
・ Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1–7pt)This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.
Thank you very much for your consideration.18 votes -
After using lasso tool, put it back to pen tools.
Currently, after using lasso tools, tapping with Apple Pencil will switch back to the eraser forcibly. It is so inconvenient that doesn’t revert to the tools I was using before, like pen or highlighters. Before the updates, it was used as usual. So please.
