Grizzly 3 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Using new iPad Pro, while hand writing notes with Apple Pencil, letters and words are disappearing as soon as I write them. Seems to occur when I write fast. I end up writing the same thing 2 or 3 times before it "takes." Very annoying. Did not occur before with previous, older iPad Pro. Have tried to adjust various settings that are new with the new iOS but nothing seems to work or make things any better. I do not experience this with other hand note taking apps, just Penultimate. 3 Link to comment
elizabethknox 0 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 This is happening to me too. I just got the ipad today and have been looking forward to syncing handwritten notes to Evernote but I can’t even get a whole word on the page. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,114 Posted November 24, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Since Penultimate gets new releases only scarcely, it may be the latest stuff is not yet integrated. For me it works iPad Air 5, running on an M1 chip. Contact support, maybe with a screen recording. Link to comment
Wes C. 4 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Temporary fix for this (for me at least, hopefully for you too) is to go to the Apple Pencil settings and turn off 'Show Effects when using Pencil' This seems to be caused by the addition of 'hover' detection in iPadOS 16+ on the recent Pros. Turning this setting off allows me to write properly in Penultimate. 1 3 Link to comment
laurentphilonenko 1 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Yep, this is the issue, thank you. 1 Link to comment
Paulo vonHafe 0 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Having a similar issue after the system upgraded to ios16.2. Was fine before that. When i lift the pencil and put it back to the next word, about a cm large square of whiteness destroys what I've written. However if I go to the Pencil definitions and turn the "Show Pencil effects" on and back off, it starts working fine. Doesn't happen with any other app, so it is clearly Penultimate related.

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,114 Posted January 20, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Penultimate is a piece of outdated, nearly unsupported software. When it was first released, there was no Apple Pencil. You can issue a support ticket. Personally I think you will rather find Penultimate discontinued before any major fixes will happen. I switched to GoodNotes years ago and never looked back. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,114 Posted February 16, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Then contact support - Penultimate is not really hotly discussed here in the forum. It is outdated, and barely supported by EN. An alternative could be Noteshelf - the app itself is much better than Penultimate, and is has the option to sync with your EN account directly as well.

DustyPaintbucket 0 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Same issue—this app worked fine until recently. Any word from company? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,114 Posted May 3, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted May 3, 2023 What worked fine ? What does recently mean ? Link to comment
Teos2515 2 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thanks for advice!🙂 I also had problems with writing texts very often. Maybe I don't have writing skills. But everything changed when I was advised to use Custom Writing service where I order content writing of any level of complexity. This is very important for my learning. I don't make stupid mistakes and I'm confident in the quality of this work. Link to comment
cyborgjeff 0 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I've just received my new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil 2. The handwriting in Penultima no more working correctly. I've read there should wait an update, but there are long month that user seems wait. I pay Evernote to be able to use Penultimate and an Apple Pencil.. So how to solve that ? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,114 Posted February 2 Level 5 Share Posted February 2 When you go to the AppStore you won’t find Penultimate any more. Only those users who have a download can still use it - nobody knows for how long. The app is abandoned and will not get any more releases. Link to comment
cyborgjeff 0 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Arf... Any other solution for handwriting with Evernote ? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,114 Posted February 5 Level 5 Share Posted February 5 No, for handwriting it is not build. You can try Noteshelf, which claims to sync with EN. Feedback has been mixed so far. Or any other handwriting app - I use GoodNotes. Link to comment
cyborgjeff 0 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Yep, I'm testing for now Noteshelf. It works well to take notes, but for now synchronisation with Evernote has not working correctly :§ Link to comment
