How can we improve Goodnotes for Apple?

[Palm Gestures] Disable Palm Gestures

Please introduce the possibility of palm gesture removal since the palm detection doesn't work properly when the iPad is used horizontally.
When we write on an imported picture, every time the palm touches the screen, GoodNotes switches to the lasso tool, and it's kinda annoying.
This feature is always on even if the iPad settings say to ignore the palm.

    Seeing that the “palm rest” feature request was folded into this request seems promising. Too many palm rejection issues in GoodNotes 6 (and 5) that can be resolved with this simple feature that was in GoodNotes 4. I’m so close to leaving to a different app, but something like this would keep me a customer…

    Has anyone found a solution for this yet ? It’s driving me mad !

  • Aditya Srivastava commented  ·   ·  Report

    Made an account just to upvote this. It’s really frustrating to write at the bottom of a page unless you’re using your iPad on a table.

    It’s also a useful feature just to be able to keep text at consistent reading height. Text editors such as VSCode also allow scrolling past the bottom of the page for this very reason.

  • Greta Milano commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please, it's too frustrating. With every app update, I hope it has been removed. I can't take it anymore.

  • Nathan commented  ·   ·  Report

    yeah worst part is sometimes you don't notice that you did an undo in a previous page, and up erasing important parts of your notes such as an exponant in an equation you need to memorise. (Happened to me a couple of times, luckily I always cross refernce my notes with the reference material)

    I am teacher and regulary undoing things, while showing my goodnotes app via projector. How can I disable this feature? Please help.

  • VS commented  ·   ·  Report

    I keep accidentally undoing. Please add an option to disable it.

  • Elizabeth Marquis commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am interacting with my computer and making GoodNotes on my iPad. Every time I put my iPad down, I get the undo message. It is driving me crazy. Please allow us to turn off this feature.

  • Nadine commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be the most important addition to the app for me - it's wasting me so much time and genuinely the only thing I hate about GN! Why is it taking this long to add a disabled button, please?!

  • Dami commented  ·   ·  Report

    I second and third this, probably my favorite feature of GoodNotes 4. It’s surprising that this feature is still not available in GoodNotes 5

  • Bertrand commented  ·   ·  Report

    Palm rejection does not work well for everyone, particularly for people with disabilities. Allow touch to be disabled completely, i.e. all interactions would be with the pencil

  • Kyle Physics commented  ·   ·  Report

    The problem is that sometimes you don't know you have activated "redo" and you don't know where.

  • Bennie Bodik commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please please add a disable option as it is extremely helpful at times, however when using my pencil many times I don't intend to undo it but it accidentally happens as I rest my hand while writing. PLEASE PLEASE ADD A DISABLE OPTION

  • Daniel J commented  ·   ·  Report

    For the longest time I thought my new M1 ipad was broken. Finally found the culprit... Please remove this function. Or only allow it on finger drawing mode. If you have an apple pencil this is utterly useless.
