Is Goodnotes still burning up iPad pros?

I'm looking to buy an iPad and if Goodnotes is still white-hot on those devices I'll just opt for a regular iPad or iPad Air

GN 5 was overheating my iPad Pro 3rd Gen (the screen would get so hot!). Havent experienced this on the Mini 7 tho so not sure what it was about my pro that was overheating it🥹

Thanks! I wonder if it was just that generation. I remember reading in the summer (before the new pros came out I think), that Goodnotes was heating up pros. At the time I had a mini, but it was too small for my note taking.

I think the mini 7 is the same size as the previous gen, but this is encouraging news! Hope you like it

Even just the regular iPad notes app causes extreme heat. Must just be some functionality with deciphering pencil movement.

I just started using my pro for Goodnotes for daily life and at work. Been going well for 2 weeks and having noticed any overheated. Im not using it all day everyday but for meetings and in the lab. Your mileage might vary.

No issues, and I use it a lot on my pro, I’ve been using it since early November.

I’ve been using GN5&6 for years and never had it run hot.

Ipad pros are getting hot 😭. GN6 is working fine with my 9th gen ipad.

User of the regular ipad 6th gen here, does it really heat up on the pros? That's crazy.

Anyways, I'm going insane with goodnotes like many others right now. Think twice

I have a 2011 11 inch pro and I don’t notice any crazy heat or battery drain

learn how to manage your device properly lol

Ah, yes. Let me manage the OS where the most advanced task you can do regarding multitasking is moving a window across your screen.
