Fully customisable eraser size

An ability to precisely select the eraser size rather than just a choice between three sizes (all of which are huge!) would be very helpful.

The standard sizes for the eraser are all very large and so even using the smallest means that part of the words above and below end up getting removed. I appreciate you can zoom in to get more precision, but it interrupts workflow and is not a speedy or efficient solution when trying to take notes of a live meeting and keep up!

The feature I am suggesting is already implemented in relation to the pen tool, where you have three default sizes for thickness but can customise and obtain exactly the size you want using a slider. It would be very helpful to have this for the eraser too.

    The fact that we can zoom in and erase with more precision dispels the rumor that this is a limitation of the stroke vectors.

    Apple Notes with the stroke eraser is a simple crosshair. This is ideal because you already get macro erasing by dragging the tool through the strokes, and precision when you need it. I use this all the time when I’m deleting something small like an exponent or the vertical line on a plus sign. Please add this!

    I agree with this topic.

    I think GoodNotes 5 is a great application. Thanks for more applications! I use it every day.

    It is a great application, but there is one thing I would like to see improved. That is I would like to set the size of the eraser in detail.

    I have been using GoodNotes 5 for notes and idea sketching. The eraser tool is very important when I do detailed descriptions in my sketches.

    However, currently, I am having trouble with the eraser because it only comes in three sizes and they are large. I am having trouble with the eraser because it erases even the lines that I need.

    Out of necessity, I now use Procreate to draw my sketches. But I really want to draw with GoodNotes 5. If I can customize the eraser size in detail, that hope will be fulfilled.

    GoodNotes 5 is great in that it can be managed by directories and lines can be drawn as vectors. So I want to use GoodNotes.

    I hope for improvement. Thank you very much.

    The small default is way too big. Please add this feature!
