Students need a reliable notetaking app, not more ai garbage. Please restore the old toolbar, this is extremely useless.

Honestly its really frustrating since all my notes are on goodnotes. Please get rid of the new toolbar and bring back the old one. Its horrible and before i had no motivation to do my work, now i definitely dont.
1 - Change the toolbar back to its former glory
2 - When typing on documents it doesnt let us change the font anymore when typing full page whereas prior update we could change the font. Allow us to change the font please.
3 - If this is somewhat not possible let us update un-update our goodnotes to the old goodnotes. I rather never get an update again than see an update this atrocious.

literally why rearrange the entire toolbar, mind you i pay for this app. i am literally so distraught why would you rearrange the toolbar i dont know up from down and i was already stressed about school and this is not helping. pls give me my old toolbar back or i"ll cry

YES PLEASE THIS IS SUCH A HORRIBLE UPDATE

I agree!!! if it isnt broken dont fix it!

One thousand times this! The whole bookmark, lass and overall tool bar update is making studies so much harder. Why am I required to click multiple buttons to add a bookmark and see which slides are bookmarked? It worked so well. Just let me revert back to the old option and yall can do whatever it is you want with the new one.

so annoying that i have to manually select the text box every time! also why do i have to click out and click back in just to redrag and resize my text boxes?!?! also pleaseeee stop making the transcript window auto zoom to the bottom every second while its recording like sometimes i want to go back in and see what my prof is saying while i’m still in class but i literally cant because it just zooms back to the bottom

I second this!! You need to make so many unnecessary clicks; it's so unnecessarily unorganized now.

New toolbar is in the way, not customizable, bookmark is gone, and new audio recording gets in the way. I just want my old UI back please.

I opened the app today and suddenly the eholr app changed. I mean, the whiteboard and the new shapes (especially the arrows) are such a good idea but the new toolbar is really uncomfortable to work with… especially the text options and the font changing is really annoying. please bring the previos toolbar back!!! Or at least give an option to decide if we want the old or new designs

Yes, or at least decide by yourself.

Please bring back the previous graphic toolbar layout.
The old version with “Recently Used Graphics/Colors” shown directly on the toolbar was much more efficient.
The new design requires extra steps and slows down the workflow — please revert it!

The new update (Oct 2025) introduced a new terrible toolbar that is unsuable. It is irritating, takes up more Space, hides important features and is unintuitiv. bring back the old toolbar or at least make that an option.

After the latest update, the tools are divided into categories. This restricted how much you can customize the tool bar. Can a feature be added so that the tools within each category can be customized? (i.e. reordered, removed)

I'm struggling with my studies right now because of the worst update ever.

Things especially I want restored:

① Toolbar
Please restore the history that was on the right side of the element, image, and sticker buttons (as shown in the image).

② Bookmark
Please restore it so I can immediately see if a bookmark is attached in the top right corner, and make it easier to press.
Also restore the bookmark section within the pages (as shown in the image).

③ Entire toolbar
Please revert this area. This update brought nothing positive.

I realize fixing everything is difficult, so at the very least, please allow us to cancel this update.
This app has been incredibly helpful to me, but this time is different.
I still want to continue studying with this app, so please consider this request.

Original Text

私は今最悪のアップデートのせいで、勉強に苦しんでいます。

特に元に戻して欲しいもの

①toolbar
element, image, stickerの右側にあった履歴を元に戻してほしい（画像のように）

②bookmark
ブックマークがついているか右上ですぐわかるように、そして押しやすいように元に戻して欲しい。
pagesの中のブックマークの項目も元に戻して欲しい。

③toolbarの全て
ここを元に戻して欲しい。このアップデートで何もいいことがなかった。

全て直すのは大変だと思うので、せめて私たちにアップデートをキャンセルできるようにして欲しい。
私はこのアプリにすごく助けられてきたが、今回は違うり
まだこのアプリで勉強を続けたいので、検討お願いします。

The toolbar layout before the new update (6.7.14) was much nicer.

1. The new tool bar takes up a lot more screen space with the pen options being shown separately in a new bar. The pen options also need to be toggled now whereas before they were constantly in view.
It would be nice if the pen options were shown in the toolbar (like the previous versions), and a setting can be added to toggle the view of the pen options in the toolbar. Or toggle the whole toolbar while still in editing mode.

2. In the previous version, one could also remove and reorder the tools in the toolbar. This made the toolbar more personalised and looked less cluttered as tools, that were not often used, could be hidden.

3. In the new ipadOS update, you can no longer have the undo/redo buttons on the right. Having them on the right was more suitable for right handed people.

This toolbar is not good always go back to lasso tool. When I want to write Text I have to choose font and size every time can not lock or set default and there is no option to adjust space between line

I can see why some users will enjoy the new Beta Toolbar but its removed vital functionality from before. Previously when the pen tool was selected, many colours were visible at once along with stroke widths which allowed for faster switching when writing. In Beta, when the pen tool is selected, switching takes extra precious seconds which cumulatively slows down workflow and makes writing clunkier. In general, there is less customization available now! The timer tool is removed and I'm not able to add/remove which features I want displayed on my toolbar. Less power to the user is less fun
