I have this same problem.. battery is draining fast, even if my Ipad is locked (not in use) but i did not force close goodnotes.

I’ve had to keep iPad connected to power all day if I plan to use good notes

After the newest update, the battery has been draining really fast!

I have the same problem with my iPad 12.9 2018 and the new software update of 5.0.30.
it just sucks the battery empty like nothing. Please fix that

Ipad pro 2018 for regular note taking, running hot and draining battery fast.

Same for me, ipad 2018, pencil 2

Hey Guys, IPAD Pro 11, mostly Goodnotes is listed under the Battery / Settings with more than 50% next is Goog Chrome with 15%...

Its not so nice...

VERY unhappy about the huge battery drain. I put my iPad Pro 12.9 inch into airplane mode and it still drained my iPad to 6% in under under 4 hours. I may have to stop using it altogether, which is sad because I’ve switched over to digital planner, calendar, notes. Using it as a one place for all my stuff. This is very upsetting.

I just bought a new Ipad. And goodnotes is literary eating all my battery. Please change that in the new Update. Im studying at the univerity and I use for my notes and textbooks.

I'm not sketching landscapes on it, I simply use it to highlight PDF files on the new iPad Pro 12.9. However it heats up so much and drains so fast that if I want to use it for a day it needs to be plugged in to a power source continuously and ahead of time since the power coming in is less than the extreme usage.

I just started noticing this issue with my GoodNotes app draining the battery on my iPad Pro too. Just the last few days. I have read on Reddit that uninstalling the app and reinstalling has fixed the issue for some. I'm going to do that and report back in a few days.

Same situation with my iPad Pro, heating up, battery drain in just an hour or two puts it below 50%. I can’t get through a whole day anymore.

I've been using Goodnotes for a while and just recently have started running into the issue of battery drainage. Was there an issue with the most recent update?

I am having the exact same problem on a brand new iPad Pro 10.5 with GoodNotes and the Apple Pencil. Battery drain happens right before my eyes and the battery monitor shows GoodNotes as the culprit. CAn someone PLEASE address this issue? I love GoodNotes but this is a dealbreaker...

I have goodnotes for years. Recently it drains my battery 20% in less than one hour with Apple Pencil. I hope they do something about it.

I just connected the dots, the battery drain started becoming a problem when I started using the apple pencil with Goodnotes. I hope this helps.

I have been using Goodnotes for many years and with good results. More recently something happened to the app where it drains my battery in a very short time. This is such a great app but with this power drain it's becoming unusable as my go-to notes app.

Please do something about this battery usage issue. I can not use the app as my ipad will not last a day of work

Please do something about the power drain!

I'm also seeing the same behaviour running a new Ipad Pro. I've found leaving it open but with the screen off still slams my battery. No acknowledgement from Goodnotes - doesn't seem to be a priority...
