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…

Outlined Pen / Drop-Shadow Ink for Photo Annotations
Hi Goodnotes Team,
I frequently use Goodnotes to annotate directly on top of imported photos and images. Because the current pens only output solid, single-color ink, my handwriting constantly gets lost in the dark or busy areas of the pictures.
It would be incredibly helpful to have a new pen tool—or a toggle for the existing pens—that automatically generates a contrasting outline (like white) or a subtle drop-shadow in real-time as I write.
Right now, I have to interrupt my workflow to draw highlighter backgrounds, duplicate text to create manual shadows, or drop in pre-saved shape elements just to make…

Advanced Editing for Images and Elements
I really like the feature that allows you to align Images and Elements with fixpoints that already are on a document.
The next evolution of this feature I'd really like to see would be the possibility to select wether you want and Image or a section of selected handwriting to respond to said fixpoints.
Sometimes when editing handwritten Text in a Document where you inserted a picture it is quite hard if not impossible to align it when it respons to a fixpoint.
A on of switch for the selected text or image or whatever to be able to deselect…2 votes -
List of approved email addresses for email import
I would be much more comfortable if only email addresses that I approved beforehand could send pdfs via email directly to my devices.
Similar to the implementation SAP Concur uses...
- you could add your own personal or work email address to your Goodnotes account.
- Only emails with pdf attachments originating from these approved addresses are then imported to the Goodnotes account.
- Emails originating from other accounts are automatically declined2 votes -
Long-press Apple Pencil to temporarily switch to eraser
I'd like to suggest a new feature for GoodNotes: when using Apple Pencil, long-pressing on the screen for a configurable duration (around 0.1–0.5s) would temporarily switch the tool to an eraser. The eraser would remain active until the pencil is lifted off the screen, after which it would automatically revert to the previous tool.
This would make erasing mistakes much faster and more convenient than double-tapping the pencil to toggle between pen and eraser, since it eliminates the back-and-forth switching and keeps the workflow smooth and uninterrupted.
Ideally, the long-press duration could be adjustable in settings to suit different users'…

Product Politics
Hello, I’ve been using GN for many years now. I keep my hardware as long as possible, and I’m increasingly finding that basic functions across my iPad and two MacBooks are no longer working. For instance, I can no longer exchange files in the Goodnotes format between my MacBook and iPad because the iPad version can no longer be updated. My iPad is running iOS 17, but the new GN version requires at least iOS 18. iCloud synchronization stopped working a long time ago. However, the fact that you can no longer even exchange the native Goodnotes file format is…

Please add a feature where to screenrecord
It will be great if Goodnotes can have a screen record, or import video option. I learn by teaching myself, cand its important for me to sometimes screenrecord what im saying and how things works especially for future references.

bring back continuous text box and allowing use to set to specifc font color
New update removed ability to stay on typing function and will revert back to Lasso. This is so annoying. Also bring back allowing the user to choose their default font color. My school uses dark colored ppts and when typing the auto selected black font makes it impossible to keep up with note taking as i constantly must highlight the text and change it to white font.

Better alignment function
I hope the alignment function can be improved—specifically, by adding two guide lines for more precise alignment, similar to presentation software—and by removing restrictions on where elements can be placed.

Autocorrect on Text Documents
I'd love if we could have autocorrect and spelling check for typed notes. It's a feature for written notes, but I'd love it for typed notes too.

Allow custom Google Drive folder for Auto Backup
Currently, Google Drive Auto Backup is restricted to the root level of My Drive. I use Goodnotes together with Obsidian, with my Obsidian vault stored in Google Drive. I would like to back up my handwritten notes as PDFs directly into a folder such as:
Google Drive → Obsidian Vault → Goodnotes
More generally, allowing users to select an arbitrary Google Drive folder would make Auto Backup much easier to integrate with file-based workflows and other applications.
Ideally, tapping Backup Location would open a Google Drive folder picker where the desired destination can be selected.

Crop selection
Where is my crop selection. It used to be right there on the first selection menu. In the picture mode why would I need to paste and match style? I’ve selected a picture, why would I need to paste?

[Fountain Pen] Improvements
The good notes fountain pen does not write how a fountain pen should. A fountain pen has a metal nib that creates thin cross strokes and wide down strokes. The pen in good notes is the opposite with wide side strokes and thin down strokes. The apple notes fountain pen is perfect in recreating the look of an actual fountain pen. This is the only reason I have to stay with apple notes. The pen interface is the most important for me. Otherwise, I would use good notes.

Smart Guideline
I would like to request the addition of a “Smart Guideline” feature similar to the one available in Samsung Notes. The feature could dynamically provide a subtle horizontal guideline while writing, helping users maintain a straight baseline even when working on completely blank pages.
I frequently prefer unruled pages because they provide a cleaner and more flexible writing experience. However, maintaining a consistent straight line of handwriting on a blank page is difficult, particularly when writing longer notes. A Smart Guideline that assists with maintaining the writing baseline—without permanently adding ruled lines to the page—would solve this problem very effectively.

Page Expansion feature just like FREENOTES app.
I love Goodnotes so much that I don't just feel like a customer anymore, I truly feel like a part of the family. You guys cook up the absolute best note-taking experience, and I'm always cheering for our "shop."
The other day, I happened to step into another app called "Freenotes." Honestly, they aren't nearly as good as us, but they do have one simple, incredibly sensible quality that made me stop and think. It really pointed out a missing ingredient in our own recipe: a page "expansion" feature.
In Freenotes, when you run out of room, you can seamlessly…2 votes
