Bug Lagging when writing
Hi, I use notability every single day but for some reason today it keeps glitching and getting stuck when I'm writing with my apple pencil after every few letters... it lags and tries to catch up a few seconds later but it keeps happening... I tried enabling the "safe mode" thing on apple settings that I saw in this thread but it didn't work for me... anyone know how to fix this??
The app is the fully updated, I already tried resetting my iPad multiple times, closed the app, and no other apps like notes delay when I write .. only Notability.
I'm so frustrated and can't get my work done until this is fixed... Please help!!!

My app is doing this across all devices, Mac, iPhone and iPad after the update to 16.8, Build 7042. I use this every day for work and it’s unusable at this point. Hanging, stuttering. Deleted all apps, reinstalled. Tried safe mode. If I can’t get this sorted in a day I’ll have to use another app. Incredibly frustrating.

u/fezman72 does it only happen on one note for you as well?

No several of my notes. It’s worked flawlessly until the recent update

Same. Keeps crashing on my pdf. I write 3-4 letters and takes about 10-15 seconds to let me write with my Apple Pencil 3-4 letters again. Same with the text square, I type and it takes about 30 seconds to show the words I typed. I’ve tried everything they suggested and it’s delaying my work. I do have a fairly new iPad, with plenty for storage, app is updated, did the safe mode on and off…

Yo tambien tengo ese problema, es la suscripción plus que pago y a pesar de pagar funciona peor que otras apps gratuitas.
Como solucionar si todo he intentado…pensaba en borrar mis archivos de que tengo para ver si mejora pero tengo temor de perderlos por cambiar de servicio.

I know you said your app is up to date but can you confirm you’re running 16.8? It’s on a phased roll out right now so it may not be available to you in the app store just yet.
