I cannot notice any pixellation in brush strokes when drawing or while zooming. And, I think Drawboard achieves this without using the native apple pencilkit, as I’m able to freely configure the brush size to any degree, and the default brush has a unique pen pressure weight response that I really quite like. I also really like that there’s a fullscreen view that hides the rest of the screen. I haven’t experienced any lagging while writing or scrolling, even on scanned pdfs with hundreds of pages. The only small issue I’ve noticed is that when initially zooming while pinching, there’s just a slight pause. But it’s a very minor thing and not noticeable most of the time. It also does heat up the bottom edge of my particular iPad a tad. But for how amazing it performs and looks, and how stable it is — and most of that for free… it’s absolutely amazing. Thank you devs.
