preciser drawing in Forms and Shape
I would love to see a ruler where you can draw precisely.
And one should be able to see the radius of the circle while drawing.
Or see how longe an edge of a form is, angle etc.10 votes -

Geometric Tools
I use "GoodNotes 5.4" with iPad Pro 2018, I am totally satisfied, however the geometric tools should be improved. Ideal would be to add predefined geometric figures, triangle, rectangle, square, circle. I have a lot of difficulty creating perfect squares, there are no way to manage the fill separately from the contour line. It is not possible to draw dashed lines. The option adding layers in drawings would also be nice. Are you planning to add these features in the future?

Please provide the basic tools
Pen, pencil, marker etc, the basics, have a look at the apple notes, it provides the basics plus a ruler for drawing functions/graphs, tables. I Just purchased this app and pissed off/disappointed to be honest. One may ask why do we even need markers or a pencil when it’s digitalised notes.... well user experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Different Types of Rulers like those in Sketchbook Pro
Sketchbook Pro has some of the best rulers out there and I would love for those rulers to also be implemented on GoodNotes.

set square (Geodreieck) instead of linear
English version:
I'm excited about the new scalable ruler. Angles to the horizontal can also be easily measured and drawn.BUT: Many colleagues, especially in mathematics, at my school and certainly at many other schools lack a scalable set square as a replacement or supplement. This could also be used to measure angles between two straight lines and not just to the horizontal.
There are some ideas on how to incorporate a set square. However, these set squares do not adjust in size (scaling) when you enlarge or reduce the page. In addition, you cannot draw a line along…12 votes -
Maths
would love to see more mathematics tools such as a ruler, a pencil compass, a real life scale on the paper, and maybe even a calculator within the app. Maybe a calculator you can move on the screen or click it with your finger to summarize an easy equation? I bought an iPad intending to only use your app for all of my notes when I go into college now, but unfortunately I do not see myself using this app for mathematics just yet. Pie charts, gifs and videos in the notes would also be very helpful. (I could…

Extend tooling tools
I use GoodNotes for my mechanical engineering studies. For this it would be nice if a few more features were added.
I would find the following features important:
-ruler with a scale and angle setting
-Predefined shapes (arrow, semicolon line, square, circle, etc...)
-Mathematical paper templates (graph paper, squared paper with 5mm boxes)

Add Flashcards feature to Goodnotes for android
Hi,
Please add Flashcards to Goodnotes for android. It's a very helpful feature for student. I'm waiting for this.
And ruler too, Thanks.2 votes -
Dotted/Dashed lines/perfect circles/squares/triangles and more!
This feature is the ultimate tool to make GoodNotes 5 'the' complete notes app.
If these features were to be added, then it would be tremendously high ranking and even better than MS Notes and other famous apps. After 2 years on Campus my personal experience is that most students enjoy using GN5, rather MS apps. The most asked for question in my class is if they will add 'this' feature, because then it would make it complete and is quite decisively when it comes to math and physics.
I am sure that this feature would excel as it is…

Better Math Support
It would be great if lines snapped into place at the intersections of the checkered template (as with Notability). In addition, I would not add a ruler but a information directly next to a line that shows the length of it (as with Freeform). Finally, I would add an icon to the toolbar with which you can quickly draw a coordinate system.

Latest update forced me to go back to Goodnotes 5
The new Oct 2025 update makes it impossible to use Goodnotes as I used to. The grouping of tools doubles or triples my clicks, the default lasso break the writing flow and I can't draw straight lines without a ruler anymore.
I am going back to Goodnotes 5. This update makes using the app very frustrating.5 votes -
Goodnotes for Windows and Android Devices
Hello,
I am a surface user and I am currently studying full time. I take physics and maths so the ability to write on my screen is essential when taking notes in lectures.
Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of note taking software available to use. The most apt, Microsoft journal lacks simple functionality like a ruler function.
A well designed software such as goodnotes would definitely fill that gap in the market.
Would goodnotes ever be released to other platforms?
Yours,
A frustrated windows user12 votes
