Zoom percentage
Add Zoom Percentage, please. The zoom affects the way we write and therefore if we'd like to keep our notes consistent in size and neatness. Adding a zoom percentage display would allow us to know what zoom size we prefer and always set our zoom percentages to that number.

Hi! Hope you are doing well.
Since I started using GoodNotes 5 I felt like something was missing. As time went by, I realized it was uncomfortable the lack of a zoom percentaje of the page because when writing, sometimes (in my case: every time) you zoom in or out the page to add any details you may want. But the point is that it is very hard to keep notes neat if you do not manage to get to the same magnification as you did the last time you wrote. In my case, I got tired of writing sometimes bigger and some other times smaller, so now I just write with the maximum zoom, and although my notes seem writen by an ant, at least my notebooks look neater.
I would really appreciate if you added this feature, it would change my experience taking notes and studying with this app by 180 degrees.Thank you!

Hi,
If I understand it correctly, currently only the following options are supported:
- Zoom to fit page width (double tap).
- Zoom to fit whole page (double tap).
- "Free" zooming (pinch), without any clue about the current zoom level value.These are good, but the following improvements would be great:
- Zoom percentage indicator: it would be great to have one on the toolbar. If possible, it should indicate the current zoom percent in real-time even when zooming in/out is in progress. If not possible to update real-time on the toolbar then an additional overlay value could be shown temporarily during zooming.
- A UX solution to be able to save and reuse some custom preset zoom values. The preset values could then be selected with e.g. a dropdown list, or a slider with marked sticky spots (like in MS Office), or even with additional buttons on the toolbar (although it's less preferred). By default the preset list could include "page with", "full page", and "100%". As others mentioned before, 100% zoom should mean the natural size of the paper, which would be calculated based on the paper size and the device DPI. -

There should be some standard Zoom % & a Zoom-bar to ensure even handwriting

I would strongly support this. Just to be clear: "100%" zoom should be when the 1cm on the screen matches 1cm on the virtual paper. So it would depend on the device DPI.

Please add the zoom percent which will allow those that take handwritten notes have a consistent size.

Please add this! I always have a hard time when I have to zoom out because I know that I’m going to loose my sweet spot and it’s going to take time to get back to it

My suggestion that could make this app better and make my friends actually take my advice and download this would be if you added a zoom percentage feature. If you do not know what that is, it is a feature that tells you a percentage of how much you zoomed when you zoom. OneNote has this feature, so my friends do not want to switch to this because it would do writing on goodnotes a lot neater. After all, we would know at what zoom we were writing to zoom out or zoom in. This would keep our writing consistent and more presentable. Not a lot of people like to write with the zoom feature because it is sometimes not needed. It would be amazing if it had the percentage feature because sometimes, when I am writing using it, I like zooming a lot. After all, sometimes I want my handwriting to be smaller or tighter, and it would be good to know at what percentage I was at. This feature does not have to be exactly a percentage, but I have to tell me at what "level" I was writing on to keep a consistent note writing.

I don't want to be harsh on you but you should get inspired by the OneNote MS for iPad, try it out it's free! They have great solution! They have in "view" option to rest the zoom of the page to 100% and the option of pinching the page in and out and simultaneously showing percentage of zoom. Implement that for an ordinary page (and maybe something different for "zoom box that can be turned on or of, I don't use that.. but some do.." You should definitely add that to the goodnote5

This is a genius idea. It never occurred to me but it would make the app even better.

Onenote has a good implementation of zoom percentage. It helps me get back to my sweet spot for writing with the pencil. I would like to have it in goodnotes too!

+1.
In my case mostly I’m using zoom and resize. so my zoom ratio mostly miss matched. Each and every time I’m wasted or distracted my time&mind in zooming and resizing page. So kindly provide this is a feature or settings. I hope this feature mostly useful for other also.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Plus, having a 100% zoom option would help me anticipate what my writing will actually look like in a pdf or when I print a page of notes on letter-size paper, for example.

Felipe commented
I have the same problem, every time I zoom in and out, letter size changes. A zoom percentage indicator would be a very good addition to the app.

Often I am zooming in and out to add a photo/shape etc. The problem is that my notes look mixed with smaller and larger sizes making it very hard to read. If you can put an option to fix the zoom to a certain level and a toolbar button to recover after manually bypassing it for an edit.
Thank you <3

Yes, we need this function very much!

I find I have a sweet spot for how zoomed in I named to be for an optimal wring experience. Having a small indicator that tells me I’m zoomed in X percent would be really useful.
Big quality of life improvement.

Its a really a useful feature. To get good handwriting, we use the technique of zooming the the page and writes on it. This technique works perfectly but problem is, if each zoom is not same then size of the text will be different in each page. If you know the zooming percentage, we can keep it consistant text size or keep similar size for each type of headings. zoom, i mean, zooming in page using fingers.Thanks a lot for this wonder full app.

Yes!! It would help to maintain consistent pen thickness as well

I have the similar thought with Albi.
I frequency use a function to double tab to zoom in and out.
I would like to have 3 levels of zooming instead of 2 levels as currently.
For example,
1st double tab for fit to page tall
2nd double tab for fit to page width
3rd double tab for fit to customize zoom (e.g. 150 % )My concept of writing is
For Topic I will write in big font (zoom to fit page width)
For details I will zoom in to particular level (maybe 150%) and note it.When I review my note I will check the topic first.
If I want to know more detail I will zoom-in to look at it.
To make a detail-font size consistency, to zoom at same level every time is important for me. -

Because I find myself constantly checking my zoom level to get a consistent text size a far more convenient option would be to set the wanted zoom inside the toolbar.
I have attached an imagine how I would imagine this feature to look like.
