  3. Provide GoodNotes users a way to customize the color of folders to keep all files from looking the same. Renaming the files is also a good way to keep them organized, but so many people associate certain colors with certain subjects. This would up the organization game so much!

  7. There are some tools I dont use and interrupt my experience while using the app. It would be nice to be able to remove those tools, or even rearrange them!

  11. Hello! I wish you add a modular toolbar which I can snap of the current position and move it anywhere I like. And also the ability to customise the toolbar would be nice. Still, cheers for the great app!

    Thanks for your feedback!

    We’re excited to share that in our latest update (September 2025), we've added the floating toolbar, that you can place anywhere on the screen: top, bottom, left, or right — for a more personalized and flexible workspace.

    Make sure you're updated to the latest version to access this new feature.


    Toolbar customization options are currently in development and will be available very soon.

    Thread for the customization feature request here: https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/50583833-toolbar-customization

    We’ll share another update as soon as the customization options go live — stay tuned!

  12. What happens is that for cursive handwriters we write whole word with a single stroke and when the problem occurs on the last syllable we have to undo and then whole word gets removed.
    It would be a great feature to have if you could just hold with 2 or 3 fingers to undo the same way as the word written so that only last syllable gets erased quickly.
    Thanks

  13. I love using the lasso tool to move my handwriting around on the page. I also use the vertical scrolling feature to write my notes, but when I want to move text from one page to the next within the lasso tool, I can’t just drag it on. I have to copy/paste to the next page then cut or erase the text from the previous page. It’s a small thing, but a change that would improve work flow.

  15. On OneNote I have 14 different colored pens and highlighters up top. GoodNotes is superior to one note in almost every way except this one. I color code my notes, so I am forced to used one note. If I were to try and color code using goodnotes, it would take me hours longer because there are so many extra clicks to get to the correct color of pen or highlighter. Having more color options up top and allowing both pens and highlighters in the menu bar like one note would be amazing.

    There is plenty of room up there,…

  17. It would be great if the user can decide where the toolbar located (Left, right, or Top)
    Like other painting software, I can use left hand to switch between tools without moving my wrist

  19. Currently all folders appear as blue. It would be great to organise folders with different colours (e.g biology- green and maths - red)

  20. It would be good to be able to customise the toolbar since I’m sure there are features that some of us don’t use and could use the space for something else.

    • Toggle which icons appear in the toolbar. Personally I never use and will probably never use the in-app camera and presentation mode. It would be great if there was an option to just turn those off.
    • Allow the option to have more colour and pen size presets. 3 isn’t enough!
    • When the zoom window toolbar finally returns, it would be great to have the same level of customisation.
