Rectangular Lasso Tool
Some free programs, like CollaNote have a rectangular lasso tool where you drag the top left point to the bottom right that is honestly faster in a lot of cases for very straightforward notes, instead of needing to draw a nearly fully closed circle.

Mind Maps
It would be great if mind maps were integrated into the features set for your app! Something sort of like MindNode. I like how easy it is to use their app for those things, but I use Goodnotes for everything else

Folder Colors
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!

Modular toolbar
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!
49 votesThanks for your feedback!

Quick Eraser
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.

Use lasso tool to drag content to next page instead of having to copy/paste
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.

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,…
