GoodNotes is nearly perfect, but I keep going back to Apple Notes in iOS for the graphite pencil. It's sad because I prefer GoodNotes in every other possible way.

I'd easily pay twice this app's price for a well-implemented graphite pencil, with pen tilt sensitivity. Key to any good pencil in a writing app: Getting the darkness right. Most pencil implementations are way too light for my taste. It should be possible to make a fine dark line without excessive pressure. Apple Notes get's this perfectly and matches my natural pencil writing almost exactly.

Add pencil like apple notes

Pencil tool would perfect this app.

Please add a pencil tool, it would be great.

Different types of pens and pencils to write with.

Adding pencil/graphite sketching functions with inclusion of pressure for darkness scale grading? Selection of pencil grades such as F H 2H B 2B HB types and so forth, I wouldn’t mind purchasing this additional option because I like to add visual detailed sketches into my notes, especially for medical and dental students, thank you for taking the time to read this idea :-)

Please Please Please add a pencil tool/mode that acts and looks like apple notes pencil. Please!!!!!

Any movement on this suggestion?

The pencil in the Paper app is also awesome.

Some might ask why do we need a pencil when we can easily erase mistakes in a digital notebook? Then I’ll just say why do we have a shutter release sound from our phone/digital cameras that actually doesn’t have any shutter?

It’s all about the user experience... I still love seeing my sketches looking like a sketch and I believe, It’s also about the user experience why you designed GoodNotes to look (and partly to function) like a real notebook.

A graphite pencil mode would take advantage of the Apple Pencil's impressive tile and force to supplement the pen mode. Apple's Notes App is the standard for pencil rendering.

This is my number one request - the Apple Notes pencil tool is so elegant and a joy to use. It would be great to have this feature in GN.

If I need to sketch something in pencil I have to go and use Apple Notes. I'm surprised it hasn't been included in GoodNotes so far. It would make the best note taking app on the planet infinitely better!

Please do this.

Hi someone already requested this, it has a lot of votes, maybe you can add your votes there :)

Add an actual Pencil type. I'm surprised because Apple Notes really, really simulates a pencil. It is the closest to how my handwriting looks on paper. Please add one.

The opportunity to have your writing look in pencil-style is the only reason I still use the Apple notes app (it just looks terrific!)

I cannot agree enough.

AGREED!!

I would like to second this idea please

Very usefull for Students WHO have to draw a log technical thinks. Please make it possible!
