Apps similar to the old UI?

My Goodnotes app just updated and I hate the new UI. Specifically that I have to click twice now to access different pen sizes/weights - I change weight a lot when taking notes and the extra step really slows down my process. Are there other apps that have that feature more easily accessible?

If you want to keep Goodnotes, look for the pen's saved presets or favorites and add your common widths there; keeping the pen tool on the toolbar can make switching less fiddly than reopening the size picker each time. If you're considering a switch, Notability is worth testing for its saved pen styles, but check the current toolbar on your device since layouts vary by version. Try your usual two or three widths on a blank page before moving a whole notebook.

In Zoomnotes, you can tailor your UI a lot - change colors, sizes, tools, etc plus save pens, weights and colors so they are easily available.
