    For about the past month or so, I have had to keep my iPad Pro (2 years old) connected to a power source when using GoodNotes. By far, GN is the main user of battery power of all the apps on my iPad Pro (lately >70% of battery use each day just for GN). When I tried to uncheck "Use iCloud" for automatic backups in Settings, even though I checked "Keep Data on This Device," I was not able to see any data in my GN folders on the iPad Pro. Had to turn iCloud back on to get to the data. There seems to be no way to reduce rate of power draw when using GN. This is potentially fatal to my use of the application. I started using GN as a note-taking app for doing energy audits in the field and will be unable to continue to do so until this problem is resolved. I used to get 6-8 hours of audit time without charging, now can only get 1-2 hours.
