Different pens
It would be nice to have different pen options, like a pencil and maybe a calligraphy pen. I would gladly pay for them as an in app purchase.
We added a new brush pen in GoodNotes 5 but don’t have a timeframe on a pencil because it can’t be easily done with vector ink.

I agree.i think this app is fantastic! I would love more variety in brushes because a lot of people currently use that app as their digital bullet journal. A lot of people that bullet journal love being creative and hand lettering and all of that. I tend to use procreate a lot to make my titles and select different brushes for hand lettering, but it would be so much nicer to have it all in the app to be able to select different brushes and be able to do hand lettering and typography kind is for stuff,

Paper offers this feature. It makes writing a little easier. Any update on this?

Any update on this? Last update from Admin is from 2016 :(
that would be really good to have. -

I agree with Valentin; a pallette of a few different pencils I often use would be very handy. So, that I don‘t have to go to the menu all the time to change the pen.
Noteshelf 2 is coming very close to goodnotes - I really like the writing engine of them...

An italic style fountain pen style would be great

Having different pens is nice to have. Much nicer would be to have a user defined pallette of let's say 4 pens. But not more than 6.
Like : 1) thin ball point black, 2) thin ball point red, 3) thick pen black, 4) thick pen blue
At the moment I have to jump to colors and after that to thickness.
But keep it simple, please do not overload the GUI. I rather stick to 1 pen than a HUGE choice of options. Remember : in the old days of a paper-notebook, most probably you had only 1 ball-point-pen, color blue. :-) -

Would love to have a real fountain style pen. The option which is include and labeled as fountain pen is really a fineliner. Note Shelf has a fantastic fountain pen and I’d gladly pay for this extra in Good Notes. Please create this!

Still waiting for the “pencil” pen style.
My hunch is that it’s very difficult to incorporate the feel of the pencil. I mean, just look at the pencil style in the basic ios Notes app and see how real it looks!! Now I feel like all the other mediocre pen styles don’t take advantage of the pressure senitivity to the full potential. -

It would be great to hear/read about further progress. Last comment was 15 months ago. I really like the more fountain pen styles like in notability. Like calligraphy but also more sensitivity to pressure is very appreciated.

is this still a thing that's happening? It's been YEARS since this idea was first suggested in another post. Is it ever going to happen? For example, I LOVE the "fine marker" style pen available in the Paper53 app, but that app is awful. Can we get more pen options in Goodnotes???

Hello,
I totally agree that at least one pencil is missing.
It could be an in-app purchase.
Do you have any dates in mind ?
Best regards. -

Dear moderator and people working on the app,
You gave the response above eight (8!!!) months ago!! How long will it take to add some really good pens and become more of a handwriting app?? I have been using the app for years and haven't seen ANY improvement at all on this! -

I love the calligraphy style option offered in Note Shelf If you had an option like that then Goodnotes would be PERFECT!!

ulf commented
yeah definitely, I miss a pencil like in Apple Notes or better in procreate or Adobe Sketch.
I really don't like how my handwriting looks. In all the other apps it looks good, almost like on real paper.
So please work on your pens and pencils. Oh btw. The shape of the highlighter could be more square, I never saw a highlighter with a round shape. Probably I would love to have the tools from the Apple Notes App. -

If you were to add a pencil, how would it be different?

I want to have a pen, like what UPAD 3 did, if goodnotes have this feature, I will be crazy at it.

YES!!! I wish GoodNotes had brushes similar to Procreate!!! That would be AMAZING!!!!!

I'd love to see this! Maybe a bitmap based pencil rather than vector. I'd love to be able to sketch designs like this instead of having to go to ProCreate, etc.

Also for Wacom and Adonit?
