No delay while using sidecar with Mac and iPad
This is all about sidecar. If you don't know what that is, here's a link that explains what it is: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380.
I use my iPad as the second display of my mac so I can be on zoom on my laptop and take notes on my iPad by typing on my laptop - this is easier than typing on my iPad. This really makes it convenient for me as a student. However, one thing I noticed is that there is a HUGE delay between my action and reaction. Basically, when I scroll on my mouse, it takes 1-2 secs for goodnotes to actually scroll. The same thing also happens when I write with my apple pencil: there is also a delay, just like the delay in the scroll.
So, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE solve this issue, and I'm sure it would be a way better experience with goodnotes after that fix. Thank you very much!

Could you please check if it would also happen in other apps? If the delay is only very noticeable, please send us an email to support@goodnotes.com and include a video where we can see how it looks like for you. It is likely a bug that we will need to fix.

You could try to use a cable to connect the iPad and the mac together with a USB-C cable,
1. Check if your USB-C cable can support data transfer
2. Connect the cable to both of your devices USB-C port
3. On your iPad the popup that will say allow this accessory to connect and press/click allow.
4. Connect your iPad to your mac with sidecar
5. Enjoy! -

Same for me. It was one of the main features why I decided for Goodnotes, since it has good App for Mac also. But as others describe - it makes it totally unusable, if you open the App in the Sidecar mode.. Everything works with a 2 seconds delay

The same thing is happening to me. Goodnotes works perfectly on mac but right when sidecar is active it is VERY slow and starts lagging. I checked this with multiple applications and it is only with Goodnotes.

Hello, I encounter the same problem. The issue is perfectly described above. It makes GoodNotes 5 absolutely unusable in SideCar.
If you need any help or info I would be glad to help as it would be amazing if this issue got resolved. Thank you.
