(thinking…)

Please make the new floating toolbar OPTIONAL and provide the option of reverting to the old toolbar

The latest update introduced an obnoxious and distracting floating toolbar below the primary toolbar, taking up more space and reducing the amount of room there is to actually write on the document. Further, it’s shorter in width, so you have to scroll more to find different highlighter colors, pen options, etc.

The new toolbar offers LESS functionality than before and I didn’t see anyone complaining or asking for it to be overhauled for everyone. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please introduce a toggle where you can choose whether you want this new toolbar or the old one, as it’s fine if it’s an option but the old toolbar that a lot of people liked should also be an option still.

    I specifically chose Goodnotes over Notability because I wanted to avoid features being hidden unnecessarily behind extra clicks and menus. I'm honestly so frustrated, I reverted to Goodnotes 5.

    Por favor!!! Al menos permitan regresar a la versión más reciente, antes de la actualización. Para mi fue horrible perder el acceso rápido a mi fuentes recientes usadas y ahora hay tres fuentes por defecto que no me agradan y tengo que ir a buscar mi fuente que lamentablemente no se puede usar en negrita de manera automática. Entonces debo tener las fuentes Kates journal regular y Kates Journal bold de acceso rápido
    Para mi ha sido un desastre la última actualización. La barra de edición se despliega tapando información no se puede mover a veces se despliega en lugares extraños. No volví a la versión 5 porque utilizo el lápiz de madera, pero odio la última actualización

    Agree, the new tool bar decreases efficiency. Where I used to be able to quickly choose a tool, based on my own customization, I now have to click more times to get to what I want. Similarly with the inability to easily bookmark a page, I now have to look for the bookmark, than choose from a drop down if I want to have them on the side bar.

    I completely agree. My workflow has been completely interrupted. What used to take 1 click now takes 5, and as someone that constantly switches tools, this is so frustrating. I also despise the floating toolbar, it feels like it's extremely in the way. And can we please bring back the zoom window in the toolbar??

    I agree. The new toolbar seems like a ripoff of the Notability toolbar, but there's a reason I use Goodnotes and it's not to receive the same exact interface I could from a different app. It's incredibly disorienting for all of my icons to be out of place, and I keep trying and failing to press them on muscle memory.
