Hide Floating toolbar!

I do not prefer the floating toolbar idea!

Why do you need two toolbars — One floating and one fixed? It reduces useful reading or writing space.

Need an option back to hide the floating toolbar and reclaim space.

UI elements are not supposed to be the focus, content is.

This inability to hide the added floating toolbar is causing me to not use the app at all!

    The floating text toolbar is always in the way of what I’m trying to see to type. Please get rid of it or offer the option to turn off this feature!!!

    Get rid of the floating toolbar PLEASE! I hate the look of it and if you move it to the side, you can't change between pen sizes without clicking into a menu. I've used Goodnotes for about 8 years, but I am seriously considering a switch.

    FYI everyone, if you purchased Goodnotes 5, you can refert! That's what I did.

    Actually before the change this was a complete uninterrupted additional third menu/toolbar row, that was always visible and in the foreground. It took up the same vertical space as the floating toolbar does now. Some find it more distracting because of the new „floating“ effect, but no additional space is lost.

    On the contrary, now you can anchor it to the side, only obscuring page margins, thereby leaving more vertical space for reading. And when tapping on the main menu bar pen icon it disappears completely, while still letting you use the selected pen or highlighter.

    Also, when no tools are needed while reading, there is the „read only“ view.

    Very important for me to be able to hide the floating toolbar/menu!

    I don’t see the point of having separate places for the tools to be placed in…

    Get rid of the newly introduced floating Menus. When using this app to annotate PDFs it blocks the document and makes this incredibly cumbersome. If you can't get rid of it, at least make it optional so I can put it back in the top navigation so its not in the way.
