same here im surprised it's not an option

I would like more customised or advanced settings and pen options. The current options are either too thin or too thick and the consistency varies too much with my handwriting despite adjusting pressure sensitivity.

Please add more pen styles, color eye dropper and a free from template as in “Nebo” where we can have an infinity piece of paper.
GoodNotes is an awesome app but needs a bit more features.

Please make it an option to add your own pen types. We should be able to design our own pens, pencils, etc, and import it into the app.

I am new to GoodNotes and I think it would be beneficial to the users to be able to import custom pens/pencils, like you can in Procreate. The fluidity and feel of Procreate’s instruments are much more natural, but I like the design options in GoodNotes and want to keep using it. The pen choices in GoodNotes deter me from using it as much as I’d like because I find it frustrating. I think allowing different types of pens/pencils, especially custom made ones, to be integrated into the system would really help improve user experience with GoodNotes. Thank you.

Add the damn pencil ... losers.

I love GoodNotes and I use it for all of my schooling! I really wish there were more options for writing utensils (pencil, marker, dotted line tool, etc.) so I can add more diagrams to my notes. I also would love to have a way to organize my preset colors for pens and highlighters into palettes because I typically use the same set of colors for each of my notebooks or school topics.

Why is there no pencil option? It's been years. I'm sorry but it just can't be "4 years of development" difficult to add a native pencil option. Laziness. Putting a 2 star review on the app.

Have a look at note plus pens. The writing in that app looks awesome. The rest is lacking but they got the pens right,

As others said, would love to see a graphite pencil "pen" option. Despite all the features Goodnotes offers, I find myself reverting back to Apple Notes because the pencil option on that app provides a much better writing experience :/

It would be nice to have dotted line pencil.

Your app is way too good but I would like to suggest to Please provide a new kind of stylus like calligraphy pen which will improve handwriting of people also please think of adding further an options of editing within temples like editing how many lines or square it has within app making your app unbeatable .
Thank you
Please consider my suggestion.

Sometimes it’s eraser didn’t work and cannot erase words.
Please make it’s eraser like of apple notes . I find that eraser have some issues also GoodNotes 5 doesn’t have pencil.

It’d be cool if we could download different pen options, or the ability to edit the streamline (e.g. procreate). Even with pressure sensitivity my handwriting still comes out jittery in GoodNotes.

Add a pencil and maybe streamline

There should definitely be a pencil tool in the new update, for FREE the guy above is tripping. It should come with the update.

Really disappointed to see that people have been requesting/suggesting new pen/pencil types since 2016 and about halfway through 2020 and still only the 3 types of pen? And they feel all very similar to me. I would love a calligraphy pen or gel pen style for my foreign language and gratitude journaling. I've loved the rest of this app so far, it's by far the best I've used! I hope they can offer new pens soon 🙏

Ditto on this! Since the primary function is "writing" having multiple pen types and a pencil-like option close to Adobe Illustrator would seem like the next great step you can develop.

Just recently Downloaded Goodnotes 5 and was shocked to discover there were such limited drawing options. Only Three pen options, yet no pencil? and no option to upload or customize tools.
Soo disappointing... I see people talking about wanting this feature as far back as 2016 - how this is all that's missing and 3 (going on 4) years later there's still no sign of a graphite pencil yet Apple notes seems to have done this with no problem (for free might i mention)... makes no sense

Please include graphite pencil in the tools. This is the most missed feature from usual note taking.
