Description

My problem with folders in general in this app is that it's very much impossible to know you can do that until you somehow find it when seeing the options of a specific item.

I think there should exist an option on the + to create a folder, which should actually create a subfolder when already in a folder. I'd be even better if in that process, it let's you select if you want to move some items or not, pick a color, etc.


Nested folders are a blessing, specially for things like long trips. Thank you very much for such a nice app.

But again, thank you very much. It's not a joke when I say that this is one of the most important apps for a modern Android.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing item-specific options and folder creation flow in the Android app. Trace how folders, subfolders, item movement, and folder colors are currently represented. Done should make folder creation discoverable from the + action, support subfolders when already inside a folder, and clarify whether item selection and color choice are included.
