Give me my old toolbar. I hate this new toolbar. Straight line is missing. Floating pencil option in annoying. I want what I given money for. It's hampering my productivity before my exm. Revert to old toolbar ASAP. I am extremely frustrated and angry. Change my toolbar @GOODNOTES..

新版的工具列超難用，嚴重影響我換工具與換顏色的效率，強烈要求換回原本的工具列

When I work in my planner and in my study notebooks, it doesn't let me change my handwriting to a font of my choice, it's a lot of work; I use my Apple Pencil, I write, and when I want to change what I wrote with my handwriting (which looks horrible) to a font of my choice: it's a lot of work to change it, it's uncomfortable when I use the app frequently for my notes and studies. Before you had it in the toolbar and it was much easier to work that way.

Why was my post deleted and merged with this one?
Moreover, my point wasn't reflected, so I'm posting again.

① Toolbar
Please restore the history that was on the right side of the element, image, and sticker buttons (as shown in the image1).

And after using this new version for a month, I've noticed that various functions can no longer be operated intuitively.

❶Text tool
　Previously, even while entering text, you could change the text length by dragging the dot (・). Now, you can only do this after finishing text input.
Also, the pop-up menu allowing options like "Copy/Paste/Paste and Match Style" no longer appears for text functions, making it harder to use. (It does appear for pen functions, etc.)
The text tool probably uses icons to indicate functions, like in Image 2, but there's no copy or cut option, making it confusing. Why was this changed?

❷ Eraser behavior after auto-deselection
As explained in Image 3, previously, after writing with the pen and erasing with the eraser, you could return to the pen tool. Even if you selected another function and then returned to the pen tool, you could continue writing with the pen immediately.
　However, now, after writing with the pen and erasing with the eraser, if you switch back to the pen, select another function, and then return to the pen function, it reverts to the eraser. This significantly degrades usability.
Isn't this a drawback of merging the pen tools? Please revert this immediately.

We request prompt improvement.

なぜ私の投稿は削除されてこれに合体されたのですか？
しかも私の言いたいことが反映されないままに、なのでもう一度投稿します。

① Toolbar
Please restore the history that was on the right side of the element, image, and sticker buttons (as shown in the image1).

そして、この新しいバージョンをこの1ヶ月使ってみて、さまざまな機能が直感的な操作で行えなくなっていることに気づきました。

❶Text tool
　以前はテキストを入力している最中でも、・の部分をドラックすることでテキストの長さを変更できたのに、今はテキストを入力し終わってからでないとできない。
　また、「コピー・ペースト・ペーストしてスタイルを合わせる」などを選択できる吹き出しがテキストの機能では出現せず、使いにくくなった。(ペン機能などでは出てくる)
　テキストツールでは画像2の上のようにアイコンで機能を示しているのだろうが、コピーもカットもないし、分かりにくい。なぜこうしたのか。

❷消しゴムの自動選択解除後の動き
　画像3の説明のように、以前はペンで書いて、消しゴムで消したあとはペンに戻り、他の機能を選んでからペン機能に戻っても、そのままペンで書き続けることができた。
　しかし今は、ペンで書いて、消しゴムで消したあとはペンに戻り、他の機能を選んでからペン機能に戻ると、消しゴムに戻っており、操作性が格段に下がった。
　ペンツールを合併した弊害なのではないだろうか。すぐに元に戻してほしい。

早く改善をお願いします。

Please make the tool bar take up less space on the page in general! The toolbar (not including these additions) takes up ~1/6th of the screen. I want space to read and write, not look at all the settings.

I made an account just to complain. I hate the floating toolbar. Just make an option to dock it so everyone has an option for what they want. I’m literally downgrading to good notes five and then upgrading every day just to get my toolbar back….. also I love bookmarking. I use my good notes for all of my notes and so I bookmark areas that define a new chapter. Removal of these tools are making me regret using this app and I now have no reason to continue to support future updates. It might be time to change to another note service

I literally made an account to vote on this. Shapes tool is so difficult too. I've been an avid user of goodnotes for 6 years, but I'm seriously considering migrating if this doesn't get reverted. The old update was amazing. Just make it an option to downgrade

The new toolbar has made the user experience so much inconvinient. Now I have to click 3-4 times to a simple task that was previously done with so much ease. Do not just update for the sake of update ,and ruin smooth user experience. Why change things that are already working. The new toolbar is the worst thing happened to GN. Fix it ASAP .

Please allow users to customize the toolbar and/or put the writing tools back in the toolbar. The sub-bar for pen pencil eraser and highlighter adds an extra step to everything I need to access.
I also miss having the recent sticker elements show in the toolbar when that tool is selected. Now I have to scroll and spend more time on what was previously so easy.

Thank you! I love good notes!

Please bring back the ability to focus the toolbar solely on writing tools, and get rid of all this AI garbage. I do not want, need, or care about AI tools in this app and would like to remove all AI-related buttons in favor of the writing tools I use CONTANTLY.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We hear you, and we are working hard to continue building on what you love and make the necessary refinements and improvements in the toolbar.

Here’s a list of what we’re currently working on. Please take a look, and stay tuned for upcoming updates:

If there are any particular issues you’d like to flag, we’d love to hear about them — your input helps us improve.

We’ll let you know once these changes go live! 💙

Bring back the favorite button. You removed it a few years ago, and customers were furious back then. Why did you make the exact mistake again?

So sad. So sad.

Ever since the update, Goodnotes has become so hard to use. I can’t create notes or creative materials with a clear mind anymore.

It’s heartbreaking — I used to use it every single day, and now I’m even afraid to open the app. Please, I just want it back the way it was.

Of course, I know that if I force myself to keep using it, I can still make the same kind of documents as before. But it used to be so smooth and effortless that now I get frustrated halfway through, and I quickly lose the motivation to work. That’s why I’m honestly scared to open Goodnotes anymore.

Hey Goodnotes team, you've created the great app. And I admit that there are some real improvements in the latest updates. (for example, we can draw shapes more easily than before) .

So it's far easier to listen to users than developing things you've achieved.

Please, please....

I really dislike this update. I'm using an iPad mini and I like the small form factor. However, now I have to deal with a even smaller working area and specifically move my document to a certain position so the floating toolbar and undo/redo buttons don't block it in landscape mode. It's really ugly and messy and requires one extra step to change or hide it. Sometimes less is more!

First of all, this update has made the app more difficult for students to use.
Many people use Goodnotes with a split screen — one side for the textbook and the other for notes. However, when the screen is divided, each side naturally becomes smaller. The new toolbar further reduces this limited workspace. Moreover, during class, the voice recording feature is often necessary, but enabling it makes the working area even smaller.

In the end, when using Goodnotes in split-screen mode, it would be better if all tools were gathered in a single area, as shown in the photo. Since most users don’t use every tool frequently, unused tools could be tucked away in that space, and the new toolbar could be integrated there instead. Therefore, the previous version before the update was better.

I bet No one on the team clearly uses Goodnotes like real users. If they did, this kind of update would never have happened.

Since the update was forced on us, my creative motivation has dropped dramatically, and I feel disappointed every single day

Having thought about it, I’m not sure about continuing with Goodnotes. It seems that the most heavily requested features are ignored while the team focuses on changing existing features that were not problematic. OneNote seems to be the better option at least for the time being until the unusable new features (namely the tool bar) is reverted.

THis update sucks...it has halted my entire workflow. Give us a real option to switch back. It won't let me go to goodnotes 5 becuase it willnot let you swithc to icloud. Pleas efix this.

Yeah, like why are we changing things that were perfect🙏

この意見に共感します。「図形描画」で描いたシェイプの線が戻るボタンで消せなくなり、投げ縄ツールを自動的に選択されることに不便さを感じています。オンオフができると嬉しいです。
テキストボックスも以前に比べて使いづらくなっています。なぜわざわざ使いづらくしたのか理解に苦しみます。以前のバージョンも選べるようにできませんか？
