Lag while writing with Apple Pencil 2

This is feedback and not a new idea: I seem to notice some lag while writing with the Apple Pencil on GoodNotes 5 (on an iPad Pro 11”). The lag is much lesser on GoodNotes 4 and the stock Notes app.
Amazing job on the new version, the app looks and feels great otherwise!

    Me too. There is a gap between the lines and the pen tip (it is clear when you draw a continuous line at a moderate speed). The default app is much faster, but it doesn’t have the features that Goodnotes has.

    I have the same issue as well, please fix the lag or I might have to switch to notability and I like goodnotes too much to do that.

    I have the same issue with GoodNotes 5. It’s very annoying

    Same! I've been experiencing the same problem! I'm using the 2018 ipad.

    Me too. I'm experiencing lag in the pencil. It's pretty annoying, and I'm considering going back to Goodnotes 4 until it's figured out.

    Indeed, i am using my First Gen iPad Pro 12.9inch, opened GoodNotes 4 and 5 side by side. Obviously the lag is way more in 5, and the hand writing is way chopper in 5 as well.
