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 -
Add space anywhere in the note
I frequently think of things I want to add to a long note later. The options at present are: 1) try to cram an extra bit of writing above previous notes (like using a physical notebook); or 2) select everything you want to move with the lasso tool and move it downwards (difficult with a long note, and a bit of a hassle too)
If you could somehow pinch to add more space that would be quick and awesome, You could have as many extra thoughts as you like, and it wouldn't be a hassle to add them in.

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.

Point to point line drawing mode
I would like to be able to draw a series of precise, connected, straight lines segments by tapping a start point then having each subsequent tap define the end point of the next segment.
It would also be nice to have an option to make the end points snap to a grid.

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…

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…

Support LAMY safari note+ stylus features?
Could Goodnotes use the free LAMY iPadOS SDK framework to support all LAMY safari note+ features?
Lamy is a well-known pen company that recently released an iOS-compatible digital writing stylus, the safari note+, named in part after its iconic fountain pen of the same shape. This stylus features two assignable buttons in addition to pressure sensitivity, palm rejection etc. on apps that support it. Goodnotes does not support those features currently.
Under a list of recommended apps (Goodnotes included) LAMY calls out that other app's developers could support the safari note+'s features using the free-of-charge LAMY iPadOS SDK framework. Given…

Linking together images/shapes and be able to align them easily
When I'm making several shapes or using images and want to be able to auto align them by either aligning of the top, bottom, middle, etc. Also the ability to space them evenly would be amazing.

Option to Apply AI-Enhanced Handwriting to Correctly Spelled Words
I would like to request the addition of a feature in Goodnotes 6 that allows users to apply the AI-enhanced handwriting to correctly spelled words, not just the misspelled ones that are automatically corrected by the current "Spellcheck" function. The existing AI-powered writing aid significantly improves legibility while maintaining the writer's unique style, but currently activates only when a spelling mistake is made. Introducing an opt-in setting to extend this AI-enhancement to all handwritten words, regardless of their spelling accuracy, would offer users the benefit of consistently legible and polished notes, thereby enriching the overall Goodnotes 6 experience.
