If I had an option to choose whether I'd end world hunger or remove the floating tool bar, I would choose to remove the floating toolbar.

Yes it too annoying and also extra space capture…my muscle memory is also used to old toolbar…
So at least give option to switch to old toolbar

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!!!

You don’t even need a button. Just tap the screen once to make it go away. You should be able to scroll with a hidden toolbar in edit mode, then just tap the screen to bring up all the options. Way less capable apps have this feature.

I HATE FLOATING TOOLBAR.

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.

Upvoted as “Critical”!

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…

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!

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.

Please remove this ridiculous toolbar.

The toolbar is an essential place to find your tools - The way you could customize it was just great - Also it did not hide content behind a floating thingy.

Your decision to hide the ruler behind another tap (And just not allowing us to bring it to the front) is another miserable choice. How dare you?

I hate the new floating toolbar that came with the new update. Very frustrating. How do I access the tutorial for the updates?

This would be incredible! Please implement this as soon as it's feasible! Having the extra space would make graphing and note taking immensely easier

Yes its useful space tabs are occupying

This! Please add this feature! There is a planner I bought from the marketplace that would look amazing if I didn’t have the toolbar in the way. Plus, I’m using an iPad mini and it would just make more sense to be able to hide it.

they want a subscription and cant even display a basic page without an ugly toolbar on all the time, no way. Going to Notability or FreeNotes

This is a critical issue. Please add option to hide the toolbar so that users can focus on the document

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.

Hi goodnotes 6 developers, please fix the issue of full screen and make toolbar & navigation bar disappear and that multi window thing even only I window is open, so that we get more space for our notes .Please do it as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to switch to some other application

Yes, Can you please make it so that the toolbar and the navigation bar can be minimize or folded so it takes up less space? This is the biggest issue with GoodNotes right now and a lot of users agree.
