  1. I think adding some shortcuts for the highlight tool on pc would be good. For ex, command + H for the highlight and command + S for strikeout, etc.

  2. I'm a STORYBOARD ARTIST and I REALLY LOVE GOODNOTE'S Pencil tool!
    But for a decent Workflow I need to make THUMBNAIL DRAWINGS in BLUE or RED first and then LATER INK THEM in BLACK on top.

    Therefore I would EITHER need a SELCTIVE COLOR ERASER, and/or a
    SELCTIVE COLOR LASSO..

    I then could ALTER the BUE SKETCH below , by either changing it to a different color, that'a not as visible ( a light GREY for example) OR erase /delete it ALLTOGETHER, with my BLACK Drawing intact!!

    That would be a GAME-CHANGER for my workflow and would imitate a more…

  3. How COOL would it be it you could take stokes that you had already made, and colorize them? so you wrote in white, but you want to make the stuff your pen stoke touches to be a blue color.

    I know right now the alternative is to select and then change color but for many situations this is a better user experience

    Think about it as a color fill tool.

  4. Please simplify the current "select -> screenshot -> share -> copy" function of the selection tool to simplify copy and paste parts of PDFs. Notability has this and it's MILES better than GoodNotes implementation which takes forever to copy a section of a PDF when I'm copying problems from my lecture slides to my notes.

    This will make my, and so many students, note-taking so much easier.

  5. I think the lasso tool doesn't work properly on desktop and isn't natural to use.
    To select text is it fine, but if you want to move a shape or text you have to clic on it to select and then move it. There should be a way for it to recognize the object and move on the first clic. Also, on mac you are able to duplicate something by pressing option and dragging it somewhere else. Text options should allow us to put indexes and exponants, this would be great for math formulas and we need more options for…

  6. When the screen is split, the UI feels very intrusive. In particular, the recording icon appears on both screens and is quite large. The same goes for the Undo button. I think unused tools should be consolidated into one place, and the freed-up space could be used for tools that are actually needed. This idea aligns with your philosophy of being “all in one.”

  7. About tape tilt
    When you pull the masking tape, it ends up at an angle, which is inconvenient.
    Therefore, I would like to be able to pull the tape straight instead of diagonally.

  8. As the title suggests, I need more tape styles or more customizable tape styles. The current tape styles are too monochromatic and not very attractive. They are not smart or colorful enough, and they are not personalized or free. I hope that more support can be provided for this function as soon as possible, rather than getting stuck in AI text recognition and neglecting the construction of basic functions. Other note-taking software has had this feature for a while, as shown in the figure below.

  9. A eye dropper for the pen and high lighter because a lot of people use this app to study or for calendars (including myself) and some people like to group things with high lighters or underline and it’s pretty hard going back and checking if you got the right color or if it’s slightly lighter or darker especially with the highlights

  11. The new tape feature is great, however I would like to be able to write over it to see if my answers match. I know it is possible to write on tape but it’s impossible to erase it without erasing notes underneath. Please make it so that I can erase text that is only above the tape.

  14. I love the new tape feature but I have A LOT of content that I need to tape over at a time! I would really love it if we had the option to make a box around what we want to tape and have the shape snap and fill in (like we have for the shape snap feature). My only other option currently is to make the pen as big as possible and color over an entire paragraph at once which has been very time consuming!

  18. Similar to MS paint it would be useful to have a paint bucket tool that would fill a color inside the lines of a shape. Most of the functionality is already added with the shape fill color option, but for drawings that dont use it there is no efficient way to fill the space.

  19. Enable the ‚Tape‘ tool for study sets as well. It is super helpful but can currently not be used in practice mode, the option to make the tape transparent does not work there.

  20. Being able to mark and keep score of items you have taped whether you remembered it correctly or forgot it. Its like keeping track of items in your notes that you remember accurately and also seeing parts where you forgot. Its like a feature for active recalling that you can directly do on your notes with the tape without having to retype it in a flashcard.
