(thinking…)

More color options in top menu bar (more than just 3)

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, changing pen thickness is not important enough to have that much space up top, other colors are. But honestly there is plenty of room for more colors, you could just shift the thickness all the way to the right and the other menu options all the way to the left and have room for 10 more colors.

    I have seen this suggested so often. I was actually about to send a request too, but decided to see if anyone else already suggested and lo and behold.

    It really would be a game changer, but honestly, it would just make GoodNotes easier to use. At the moment, it really actually delays me because there are only 3 colors I can keep at the top. I get slowed down and end up just going to use another application instead

    YES! Add it; I'm seriously considering switching back to Notability because this feature isn't present.

  • P H commented  ·   ·  Report

    1 vote from me! why leave all the blank spaces.

  • scruel commented  ·   ·  Report

    We need more!!!
    Plz add this feature!!!

  • Shadow Gaming commented  ·   ·  Report

    absolutely! it's surprising it's not a feature yet, it would be a game changer.

  • Kobi Amzaleg commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is critical!! I’m sure you’ll be losing a lot of users because of this, including me.

  • Merik Niemeyer commented  ·   ·  Report

    As I am using a lot of colours in my notes it is extremely frustrating that switching between more than 3 always requires a few extra taps. I am seriously considering to use another app instead, even though I have been a GoodNotes user for several years now and really like the app otherwise. I cannot believe that this has been proposed so long ago and nothing has happened yet. It's such an easy feature to implement, please just do it!

  • Markus S commented  ·   ·  Report

    That restriction to 3 colors annoys me the most in goodnotes. I would absolutley love to have more than 3 colors in the toolbar!

  • Cory commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is critical!

  • Miki19xs commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is fundamental for me to use more than three colors in so many context, and right now this breaks the flow of note taking. There is so much space left in the bar, why not adding more?

    this is an absolute priority, and very easy to implement

  • John commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not only is this really efficient, but it makes the Notes app much more effective in meetings, and is a vital tool for dyslexic people in education and work. For example I use:

    black – notes
    Green – questions
    blue – my reflective thoughts on what's really going on
    red – action points. To come back to and Tick off

    Obviously it slows the process down when you have to tap and select. I often lose the flow of conversation.

    So please, please add this as a priority. Thank you

    GoodNotes would be the most ideal app for note-taking if there were more than three main colors for writing. Please add this!!!

  • Marek Ulicny commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add something like Notability has on the left side. Favorite tools bar (tool type + color + thickness). Or at least more favorite colors in the top bar.

  • Tiffany Le commented  ·   ·  Report
