At base, Go to Last requires far less clicks compared to Go to Page. For example,

With Go to Last:
1) Click overflow menu
2) Click Go to Last

Without Go to Last:
1) Click overflow menu
2) Click Go to Page to highlight page numbers (“remember” what the last page number is because the number changes to the current page when clicked)
3) Type first digit (from this point forward one is interfacing with the keyboard)
4) Type second digit...and so on
5) Type Enter

So you can see there are not only more clicks, but there is an added cognitive step and one has to interface with the keyboard in the Go to Page case.

My use cases always include using the Apple Pencil. I use Goodnotes for work (meetings both group and one-to-one), journaling, planning, list making for the day, and taking notes while playing board games.

In all of these cases I am working on the last page of a particular notebook usually based on today’s date. In doing so I frequently look back through pages to gather information or remind myself of information for the above purposes. Thus, when I have the information, I want to go back to the last page to write the information (or paste it in some cases). I do this constantly in all of my use cases.

I have used Goodnotes for years and have never used the Go to Page feature to go to a page in the middle of a notebook. I use bookmarks if I want to go back to a specific page rather than remember what page previous information is on (maybe once or twice I used Go to Page to guesstimate where information may be in a large notebook before I start swiping to look for it, at which time I would bookmark the page if I intend to go back again. Of course in this situation I would also try the search function, but my handwriting is less than clear). I use bookmarks because I don’t have to memorize page numbers in different notebooks and it is faster than Go to Page.

A very frequent scenario to which this is particularly important is one-to-one meetings in which dialogue happens very quickly. I often will be taking notes or making action plans while talking and need to refer to previous material by swiping through pages to a recent meeting. Then I want to get back to the notes of the meeting at hand by using Go to Last.

I think this gives you the gist of the reason Go to Last is necessary. I suspect some folks would use the Go to Page feature more often than me, but a wiser way to work is to use bookmarks, search, and Go to Last.

Thank you for considering this and thank you for such a great app!
