My iPad M2 overheats with Goodnotes and drains my Battery

I am switching to a different app due to battery drain!

First of all, thanks for making a great product. I can only begin to imagine all the hard work and thought that goes into this app.
Now, in terms of battery, I assume it is important to you to keep adding features but please consider leaving a way for users to disable these additional features in favor of a simplified UI, a streamlined UX, and most definitely a longer lasting battery. Some of us just need an experience as close to pen and paper as possible.

How has this been an ongoing issue since 2014?!

GoodNotes, get on top of this as a priority please.
It’s absurd that this app uses so much battery even on a 2022 M1 iPad.

I can run adobe on here with less battery usage. Please get dev team to solve this and have it displayed as a pop up feature when you do so we can all celebrate.

Maybe you could add an option to only index pages when charging for example?
On my 7 months old iPad 2020 I get like 4-5 hours of screentime using only GoodNotes. Would expect a bit more

I have iPad 5th generation 2017 and GoodNotes really drains my battery, beforehand downloading and using the app I would charge the iPad once every 2 days, now I need multiple charges per day, it’s not normal how fast it drains it, I love the app but this issue needs to be looked into. It takes 78% of my battery usage, I don’t think that’s normal thing of an app to do.

I have a 2018 iPad Pro 10.9inch and I have noticed that it does heat up. Looks like the issue has been reported for a while. Has there been any progress on this?

My non-M1 iPad Pro getting VERY warm during usage. Indexing is turned off.

yup same issue. Drains the battery + heats up my ipad. I'm using the ipad pro 2021

Terrible battery on iPad Pro. Can someone look into this please, as opposed to just allow lazy code to run unoptimised on bigger and bigger chips?

This is one of the apps that use daily. I use it both for work and for studying. I have an iPad Air 4 (2020). The app makes my iPad lose battery pretty fast and it gets super hot. During the summer it was very difficult writing on it. Now that is winter at least I don't sweat as much. I also use Procreate and Affinity Photo almost daily and those apps do not drain the battery or make my iPad feels like I can cook an egg over it.

Same issue, it drains battery crazy. I'm using ipad pro 2020.

Please fix battery drain on older devices, please don't increase processing based in M1 chips

The solution to my GoodNotes battery drainage problem was that I recently changed my standard template to one that I found online. Once I switched back to the original GoodNotes templates that is included in the app, my iPad stopped overheating.

Goodnotes5 heavy drains battery on IpadPro: what is happening?
Is the use of processor capacity only for Goodnotes or is a non-goodnotes related calculation part of the program?

Kindly resolve this power surge

When using good notes my new iPad Pro heats up and battery drains very quickly

Note taking is the only thing that I have been doing in my new iPad Air 4 using GoodNotes 5.My battery is draining really fast and iPad gets heated up minutes after I start using GoodNotes which makes my writing hand sweaty which hampers my note taking speed.pls fix this if not I would shift to note ability soon

My Ipad gets hot when I'm using the app and I have to stop using it for a minutes. Also it drains the battery so hard. Please you guys have to improve this seriously.

A lot of battery drain is happening for the past 1 month. How are you guys coding ?
You are breaking the application - i have been long term user for goodnotes but i think i have to figure out a way to migrate to notability (they are improving)

It drains the battery on both mac and ipad
