  1. i usually use Goodnotes for PDF so sometimes objects drawn with pen tool are difficult to see. therefore, i suggest new type of pen which has edged line like lazer tool.
    my another idea is adding wavy and double line to pen or shape tool. now i can draw only single lines to highlight words / sentences. However it seems there's lack of function. thus we need wavy and double line tool.

  3. Add this to suggestion box: make It easier to add a current page I am working on to the templates. Right now I have to export and then import back in and that is annoying and useless. Thanks.

  4. Why would you take away color control after text duplication. It was there until your silly icon upgrade. Did you ever think we were using that feature for drop shadows on text? Now I have to go to the lasso and reselect the text before I can change it's color. An extra two steps. Please put it back!

  5. 希望推出可以收藏文本框不同格式的按钮,这样我们可以一键切换文本框不同的格式组合(包括不同字体、颜色、大小、行间距的组合),不需要再每次点击切换字体/颜色/大小/行间距,因为这样实在是太麻烦了。谢谢!!!希望大家都来投票!!!

  7. There is no colour picker for the background of the Text Box, why was it added in the other colour selectors, but not for the Background colour?

    Please add!

  8. You should be able to have the highlighter or pen tool selected for example, and then click a little button to hide the tool bar so that you can read without distractions but still underline and highlight text.

  9. Introduce a new feature that ensures grammatically correct notes. This will not only grammatically correct the notes but also enhance learning and mastery of the new language.

  10. pen smooth streamline procreate stabilization .

    There are a pages and pages of people requesting this as an improvement. They are scattered into many posts, but they are all trying to say the same thing!!

    The problem is, people aren't sure how to describe what they are looking for. It took me a while to discover they are called streamline and stabilization... and I have Procreate. Most people are typing in web searches like 'how can I make my writing smoother' or 'better handwriting with pen'. This feature is what they are looking for. It is too bad that it…

  11. Sometimes I want to jot notes , but there isn’t enough empty space. Memo is nice but I dont want the memo to cover up the words in my document. Someone suggest expandable memo but then it may be easily missed when rereading the document.
    I suggest a feature where we can add memo at the side of the pdf (outside of margin), function is similar to expandable page but more aesthetic. and it can be chosen to show or dismiss with something like a sidebar option. When dismissed, just the original pdf will be shown. When the option is…

  12. The reason I'd like this feature is because I have Parkinson's Disease. And as a student in University; I struggle a lot in keeping a nice and tidy handwriting when taking notes. If yall could help me out by voting for this, it would be hugely appreciated!

  15. In the Lasso tool and in the Erase tool, it would be great if it could separate what is written with a pen and what is written with highlights. if I have a note that is highlighted but I need to edit the text, I can’t erase what I wrote because, it would erase the highlighter also. The same happens when I use the lasso tool. If the handwriting is selected, it will move both the highlighter and the pen text. And sometimes I just want to move the text only.

    If there is a separate tool for something, it…

  16. 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.

  17. This feature would allow you to create a space between handwriting and images that have been placed on a page, allowing you to add more information.
    For example, let's say you have a numbered list:
    1. Add eggs
    2. Bake
    And perhaps you want to add something in between number one and two on the list, instead of having to erase number 2 or lasso it and move it down, imagine if one could simply tap between the two and push it down, similar to a feature that exists in onenote. This would make rapid edits and changes to a…

  18. In other apps, you can upload an image (of a whiteboard with text on it, for example), and convert the text to ink on your screen. It allows editing the text (instead of just placing the original image in your notebook). This can help me a lot!!!

  20. When connecting to an EarPods (USB-C), I cannot start a recording. Tapping recoding button resulting in a disabled recording button and not turning into recording state.
