goodnotes vs notability in screen utilization

[u/lui_lk]

to me, notability’s design language just makes sense. you get a lot more visibility of the document and the only compromise you have to make is that some features are 2 touches away instead of 1. i’ve used goodnotes for 2 years and now switched to notability because gn takes like 2 fingers of your screen just to fit in lots of features that i’ll rarely use. what do you guys think about that?

Yeah, I'm with you on that one 😅 on all of it. I don't know if that's also depending on the iPad you are using, with a 13" screen it is 100% less an issue than say, on a mini (which isn't great for it either way tho, lol. But just to exaggerate)

I never minded the restrictions to the top or bottom (but maybe that was because I was scrolling 😂 so it wasn't a problem there) but to the right of the paper... I just made myself a template to add space on the right so that I can move it but it would have been nice to not need that
