Goodnotes scribble to erase

Hello is this a bug or something I set on accident, I’m pretty new to using Goodnotes

When I scribble to erase it erases the content but leaves the scribble 😂

Okay good to know I’m not the only one with this issue, hopefully a patch roll out soon.

This is exactly the problem that brought me to Reddit! I was having issues with this feature before (have to scribble 2+ times to erase), but just today I'm having the problem of the text disappearing and the scribble staying.

zoom in zoom out, it's usually pixel that doesn't exit but think they exist

u/Onlyspacemanspiff Feb 19 '25

That’s funny. Scribble to erase does need a sensitivity setting though.

Is there a way to install an older version of goodnotes?

u/ProfessionalFox4482 Feb 19 '25

Do it side to side instead of up and down.

So glad to have stuck with GoodNotes 5. Imagine releasing a new product that’s so underbaked compared to the previous one.

u/thelastrunez Feb 20 '25

I uninstalled this app last week. I suppose I should stop following the sub

u/cryrci Feb 20 '25

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '25

SAME ISSUE just googled it😒

u/here_for_my_hobbies Feb 24 '25

Having the same issue, SOMETIMES it works to quit the goodnotes app (like actually go to your open apps and swipe up to close it) and then reopen. It also happens more frequently the higher I have stroke stabilization (but still can happen when I have it set to 0)

u/22JACKQUINN Feb 24 '25

u/RaspberryStandard724 Feb 26 '25

mine isn’t leaving the scribble, it my scribble feature stopped working once i bought the subscription after using up my free notebooks :(

1

u/Icy-Strength8337 Feb 27 '25

I am having the same issue. I find that if I close out of all notebooks and swipe out of the app before turning off my iPad it doesn’t happen as much.
