im actually mad and pissed off. it's literally mid semester of school and i'm in the middle of midterms. i literally can't do anything on the goodnotes app right not with this new useless update. I had to literally switch to typing on google docs. I'm already overwhelmed with midterms, and this really had to put the cherry on top.

nobody asked for this. let us change the toolbar color! customize the layout! not this crap.

this toolbar update is beyond frustrating. considering switching apps after using goodnotes for 6+ years. so so so annoying. PLEASE at least give us the option to use the old toolbar. i'm begging

I need an option to reverse back to the previous toolbox. This update is awful and makes app almost unusable. I do all my uni notes on this and the need for functioning toolbox is critical!
Just give us option to switch back please.

Please bring back the old toolbar!

Please bring back old layout or at least the function to have old toolbox!

Let us change the tab color please. The current blue one doesn’t fit my taste.

Completely agree! Since I use my GoodNotes to journal and schedule the most, the zoom window is the most pressed button. Not I can’t get to it quickly and it truly disrupts my flow. Considering changing to another app just because of this change.

Agree, the new toolbar is blocking the notebook's view (no matter top, left, right or bottom), and icons are tightly packed together, which makes it harder to use (and causes quite a nuisance)

I don't get what the point of this update was. It fixed literally nothing and seems to have caused a lot of problems for others and myself. Please add a way to at least toggle it back to the old toolbar layout!

Please give as an option to revert to our previous version. As you can see, majority of users are not satisfied with the new update.

the new toolbar update is awful it genuinely has ruined my week. i dislike how i now have to scroll to see my different pen colours and that i must have the pencil, tape and other stuff on it when i never use it and want those features to be off. i would appreciate tool bar customisation for the pens and also to have all the pens and other tools in the same line again. i dont like how the lasso tool isn’t next to the pens and nothing feels easy access anymore. it feels like the apps de-evolving and i am tempted to download another if these changes aren’t made. sorry this is kinda mean im just an everyday goodnotes user and would love to go back to the old model. also you have to click more stuff to change the lasso which doesn’t make sense. the last model was way more efficient

Hello GoodNotes team,

First of all, I want to say that I truly love using GoodNotes 6. It has made studying and taking lecture notes so much more enjoyable and efficient. I especially appreciate how I can switch between handwriting and typing whenever I need.

However, the new floating text toolbar has made typing lectures significantly slower and less convenient. The toolbar often covers my text, and I have to readjust or reopen settings every time I type. The buttons are also quite small, and I can no longer lock or keep my preferred font style as before.

Could you please consider bringing back the old, fixed text toolbar option? The new design may look modern, but it’s much less practical for long typing sessions.

Thank you for your great work so far, and I really hope this feature can be improved in a future update.

Best regards

This update is so unnecessary and is destroying my studying efficiency. PLEASE switch it back or I will be forced to use an entirely different company that does not change their interface drastically so I can STAY used to something.

Also I have the Pencil Pro which had this "Squeeze" Feature. Since I was able to customize the layout of my tools I could have the lasso tool be one of the priority tools. But now its hidden all the way back! It makes me so slow!!!

BUGGY !

This update is horrible. I want the old toolbar! Definitely second guessing Goodnotes now - this update is slowing me down.

floating toolbar is horrible - at least make it so we can choose to have it floating or back to how it was. i don’t want the toolbar COVERING MY DOCUMENTS WHILE IM TRYING TO WRITE AND HAVING TO MOVE IT ARE WE SERIOUS

worst update ever, there are so many flaws in this app but instead of working of those they focus on making everything else worse as well

This update is horrible I wish there was a way to get the old toolbar back.
