For the price pad for Goodnotes one time payment, I was stunned that it did not have a hide all toggle! Makes this impossible to use for digital notebooks or planners as you design them in your iPads screen size only to find goodnotes can’t use it, it has bars everywhere you can’t get rid of. A toggle that when tapped makes the, all vanish unless you tap the reaper toggle that sits in a corner. Like Noteful or Noteshelf 3 have as standard yet they cost a fraction of the price. I am starting digital creation and as most recommend goodnotes I saved up to buy it only to find its major flaw makes it far inferior to cheaper apps. Shocked. And very disappointed. Such a simple tool to hide all, or in settings have a “what do you want to stay put option. Having multiple menu bars and status bars and not allowing the user to use the full screen size really detracts from goodnotes, so much so I’m really dismayed I paid so much for this app.

This is the main issue preventing me from purchasing Goodnotes and sticking to Apple Notes. The toolbar in Goodnotes is really distracting and intrusive. It annoys me to the point where I refuse to use Goodnotes. I would love to use Goodnotes because of the great features but this toolbar is a dealbreaker. I want to be able to hide it while writing so I see nothing but a full-screen page. Perhaps a little icon in the top corner to toggle the toolbar would be perfect, but leaving it visible all the time is extremely annoying and distracting. At the very least, please make it the same color as the page like in Apple Notes so it’s not such a distraction.

In GoodNotes 6 the problem is even worse, as the tabs are always visible even if there is only one tab.

Yes. Absolutely! I wish they'd implement this soon
