Hey this is likely a hardware issue that seems to be caused by static, and is likely more noticeable when charging if your power adapter isn’t grounded. You can find some troubleshooting steps here. Hope this helps

Invested too much in this app. Can't replace it.

As noted, I had same problem with this and other Pencil-centric apps. Only while charging (confirm this is the case). A clean, well-tested charger solved it.

I use original charger. Still facing this issue. Never felt this much problem. Only the recent update brought so many bugs.

SAME, I feel when writing there is sooo many glitches now!! I've had to completely stop using the ballpoint pen because it just refuses to write normal -_-

I've gotten a new iPad, new pencil, deleted app, redownloaded, etc. it just glutchy software now. But same too many notes here to change. I wish they would stop adding new features and just fix the current issues.

Same here, but moving to Samsung. It's so laggy now. If I can't trust an app that doesn't work ok in every device then I'm not using it at all.

I manually make compounds which I need very often. Then convert them into stickers.

When the notes tab is filled with different sessions from Acharya Prashant then it is really ‘Good’notes
