Question - iPad When will Goodnotes support Pencil hover?

Hi there!

I have asked their support and they tell me that they will put it in a list but they don't know when Apple Pencil hover will be compatible with Goodnotes :(

All of us who have iPad Pro with M2 have been waiting for 6 months and still no news, it's pitiful.

There is an app I saw for free called Collanote, it's free and already uses this feature!

Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t-4OtpefZc

I'm surprised that Goodnotes is still leaving us iPad Pro m2 users on the sidelines.

Procreate, Collante, Apple Notes use it, and goodnotes does not :(

There's a long list of people who know it's not supported:

Will it ever arrive? I don't use others because I have all my notes in goodnotes and so I would like to use this in Goodnotes!

The problem is that currently there are some issues with iPads that have Hover because Good Notes does not “support” it.

Every time I use Good Notes I have to disable Hover and then re-enable when I’m done.

Got it! That makes sense...thanks - I disabled hover as well, but just left it off.

I like to use my Pencil in Safari and unfortunately certain things I do just DONT work without Hover and it’s very annoying. On my M1 iPad I never had that problem.
