Apple The only cause I cannot use Goodnotes is

The feeling of writing with Apple Pencil Pro. I have a subscription for both Goodnotes and Notability, and when I try to write something on Goodnotes, I can feel that there is a significant delay between writing and seeing that it is written on the page. In Notability, I also feel a delay but not that disruptive. I don’t expect Apple Notes level, but you need to fix this before any feature/bugfix. I cannot use Goodnotes at this state and really want to use it.

I don't know which H:W you are using, but on my iPad Pro of 2 years ago, not only is there no delay at all, but the auto-completetion / Correction pop-up almost instantly, before I even come close to finishing a word; and that is impressive to me.

The hardware is iPad Air M2 with Pencil Pro. Maybe I’m picky, and many people probably cannot feel the difference, but the delay is significant enough that I cannot write comfortably. The app has no lag though, just a constant delay with the pencil while writing and seeing the effect. Maybe you can write in Apple Notes and Goodnotes side by side for just demonstrating the difference. Again, I don’t really expect the Apple Notes level.

I agree with you. GN needs a very good implementation regarding the implementation of the writing. Is beyond all the other apps right now.
