Feedback on Usability Limitations in GoodNotes for Apple Pencil and Touch Gestures
'm a paid GoodNotes user and generally enjoy using it, but there are a few usability issues that make the experience less efficient.
There's no way to undo with a single two-finger tap, so quickly erasing even a couple of strokes takes multiple steps. Double-tapping the Apple Pencil always switches to the eraser instead of toggling between tools, and these gestures can't be customized, which limits flexibility.
Accidental finger touches sometimes delete notes or trigger the paste popup while writing, which breaks the flow. Also, with the Apple Pencil Pro, using the squeeze gesture to access the lasso tool isn’t practical since it’s buried in the toolbar. The eraser is also too large for precise edits.
Unless these gesture and tool customization options improve, I may consider switching to another note-taking app—even though I’ve already paid for GoodNotes.
Thank you.
