same issue

I want the text box sticky feature! It is messing up my work flow because I keep having to go back and select it again, it makes it difficult to work with the calendar document I use, and takes longer because I keep having to go back and deselect the lasso tool every time!!!

Making the textbox "not sticky" is NOT an IMPROVEMENT it is a frustration!

I have been using GoodNotes for a long time, but recently I encountered an issue. Whenever I try to write, I click on the text box to start typing, but as soon as I click on the page, the cursor automatically switches to the Lasso Tool icon. This keeps happening repeatedly, and it is quite inconvenient because it takes extra time.

It would be much better if the user could manually choose which tool to use instead of it switching automatically.

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

Thank you very much for your support

Dear GoodNotes Support Team,

I have been using GoodNotes for a long time and it has always worked perfectly. However, recently I started facing a problem. When I try to write, I click on the writing tool, but as soon as I tap on the page to start writing, the cursor automatically switches to the Lasso Tool. This keeps happening repeatedly, and it takes extra time to get back to the writing tool each time

I agree! Don't fix what isn't broken

Since the latest GoodNotes 6 update, the text box tool has become a bit annoying to use. Before, I could select the text box tool once and keep adding multiple text boxes without having to click it again each time. Now, after I add one text box, the tool automatically deselects, and I have to tap the text box icon again to make a new one. It makes writing notes much slower and less convenient. I’d really prefer if the old behaviour came back or if there was an option to keep the text box tool active.

The new auto-switch to the lasso tool is beyond frustrating. If I want the lasso tool I will select it, and until then keep the tool that I am using.

I agree completely — this is awful. Don’t most of us fill in text where we need to and then lasso to move it around. I hate this upgrade. What a waste of time.

Let me choose a default tool. For example, if I almost exclusively type notes on my lecture slides using my laptop, I want to be able to have text as my default tool.

This is a critical feature for me too - my professors talk too fast for me to be going back and forth between the button and where I want to put the text box!

hello,
I am one of the users who use GoodNotes 6.
First, thanks for making a good app

The problem there is that after the new update,
The interface has been changed, and the Type button, when I clicked it, kept changing to another button, so I needed to click to get a blank continuously

IT IS UNBELIEVABLY inefficient and uncomfortable.
I know you guys put a lot of effort and making it good for everybody

However, the interface is changing too frequently and cannot accept this small feature, which already gives discomfort, making it really hard for me to use.

please consider these features when you guys update

thanks

it’s impossible to make notes continuously when the text box tool returns to lasso right after use please make it a sticky feature that stays put!!

I agree and same with anything when you finish with it it automatically selects lasso tool which is SO FRUSTRATING!

Since the new update (7.0.3) and the introduction of the new toolbar, the textbox feature has become unusable. I need to write a lot of notes for my studies using the textbox, and in the old version, once you selected the textbox tool, it stayed active until you manually switched to another tool, such as the pencil. However, since the new update, every time I finish typing in a textbox, it automatically switches back to the lasso tool. This means I have to constantly reselect the textbox, which completely disrupts my workflow. It’s becoming so frustrating that I’m seriously considering switching to another app.

This update is ridiculous!!! Can’t even start typing unless you go to the textbox function and hold it down and click start typing… absolutely ridiculous and inconvenient. The old toolbar was MUCH better. Bring it back… a lot of people are unhappy

The recent update for the lasso tool has the options bar coming up immediately when selecting something. This is extremely inconvenient when trying to quickly reorganize a page and go back to writing, as it blocks nearby text on the page and often can result in accidentally tapping the delete icon. Previously, double-tapping writing selected by the lasso tool would bring this bar up, which still presented convenient options for alteration, but made moving small things around quickly more convenient because the view of the page was not obstructed by the options bar every time.
If there is a way to disable this feature/ revert it to the previous manual preferences, that would also be helpful.

this is quite annoying for me too!

Stop making the app go back to the lasso tool. Every time I want a new text box I have to go back to the toolbar and select the text option. Before, you just tapped the screen and got a new text box. Bring that back.
