Upgrade StorageiOS Zotero Annotation Function Requests
Hi,
I really appreciate the ios app for Zotero. As far as I know, this is the only reference tool program that offers handwritten & perfectly synced annotation across ipads and laptop/computers.
Just a few requests for the ipad annotation in order of importance and urgency:
- An eraser function. Otherwise there's no way of editing or erasing freehand annotations after syncing.
- Wider range of pen sizes for freehand annotations, especially smaller/finer tips.
- Darker colors (Black!!) for freehand annotations. Or just a wider range of colors overall.
- Filter handwritten annotations by color. This would be useful on the desktop version too.
- Wider range of pen types & freestyle highlighting
These requests have probably been made before. But since I've opted for Zotero unlimited storage mainly because of the ipad app, I really hope the annotation function can be improved quickly!
ln the long run, it would be great if Zotero could incorporate other basic features of note-taking apps such as lasso tools and pressure-sensitive pens.

ebdrake10I would like to second pen types/pen point size. The app is super helpful but I really wish would could make the pen point smaller (finer lines) when doing freehand annotations.

dstillmanYou can adjust the pen size by pressing and holding on the ink tool.

qinmingI need the function of eraser, too!

alvaradooHaving an eraser would be cool! Would definitely making edits easier.

jeronimoayestaHi everyone! I open again this discussion a couple of months after the last comment to ask the Zotero team (@dstillman thanks for all the amazing work you are doing) if the annotation functions which @wtlerin suggested (similar to the ones in other apps like Goodnotes or PDFReader) will come at any point in the iOS app. Thank you and sorry! I am sure you are dealing with many requests, so my apologies in advance for asking for so many things!

dstillmanWe've added an eraser tool in Zotero 1.0.4 for iOS, available now.

fabio.gironella.mathWould love to be able to annotate with black ink indeed!
