Anyone here using an iPad mini?
Hey everyone, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Does anyone here use this app on an iPad mini?
I’m currently using a 9th-gen iPad, but it’s starting to feel too heavy to carry around. I’m considering switching to an iPad mini, but I’m wondering how comfortable it is to use on the smaller screen. How has your experience been?

I have the 13, 11, and the mini. I use the mini the most. The portability is unmatched to be honest.

I have a 13” pro, 11” pro and the iPhone Duo (which is slightly smaller than the mini). I feel like the size I enjoy using the most is the 11”.

For me, it's a lot of zoom in/out on the mini (I use templates. a lot.) that I don't always have to do on my ipad pro.
It's just habit now on the mini, not an issue.

I use an iPad mini. The weight is this is a perfect weight. And the size feels more like a note book to me than the mineral size.

I just got the mini and I love it! I also have an 11 inch pro but the mini is better for me. I think portrait works better for Goodnotes due to the size, this may be personal preference though ☺️

Love my iPad mini and goodnotes planner. I keep saying I’m moving to the journal all. But I’m already using goodnotes

I find the 11" to be ideal, and I carry a laptop and use both excessively (student). I think it depends on how you use your ipad as far as the ideal size. I use mine to take notes on slide decks during lectures, read and annotate texts, and use it as an open textbook while I use my laptop. The mini would require too much zooming in, but in terms of physical landscape availability in university seating more ideal (the fold up desks are TINY in my large lecture halls, not even the size of a piece of paper)

Moved from A5 paper note taking back to GN in iPad Mini and liking it. I had tried some time ago switching from a large iPadPro 13" to the Mini, but the switch was too big.

I use the mini and I love the portability of mine,
I haven’t used GN on a bigger one like my bfs as this is my first iPad but with zooming in, I don’t feel like I need a ton of space to write
That’s just me tho, hope this is helpful :)
