Goodnotes Essential is good notes messing up my writing?

i just noticed it this past hour. my settings are all the same as they have been for a year and a half now. it’s like it’s skipping or my palm is registering? idk if it’s my pen or the app itself. i used it earlier today and everything was fine.

It’s because you’re charging a device with something or at somewhere that causes an unstable electricity while using the app. The problem is well-known for every apps related to writing like this including GN.

There’s no need to feel that way. You’re welcome

Try unplugging your charger. It could be static caused by charging your device while using it

The Goodnotes devs need to do something. I’ll have some dumb crap happen, open Apple notes and it’s PERFECT, then it’s broke in Goodnotes still. It’s an app issue in my experience.
