How can we improve OneNote for Android?

Remove the Ink Shifting

Hi, I'm using Galaxy Tab S4 and I'm facing an issue. Whenever I write the ink shifts slightly and sometimes a lot. It is clearly noticeable. Please guide me what to do.

I'm using app version : 16.0.11929.20126 (which is the latest as of this date)

Updated on: Aug 18, 2019

FunFact: This issue does not happen when I use the older version of OneNote i.e. of January 2017 (yes that old) but that version has a lag in handwriting and also not as smooth as the newer ones. But yeah that does not have this ink shifting issue.

Here is my screenrecording of the issue:

I have contacted on the OneNote Community and there they told me to post it here. Please resolve it.

    I have been seeing this same issue for the past year or so on both my Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy Tab S4. It drives me nuts and makes the app feel like a less-polished handwriting experience on Android when compared to Samsung Notes, Squid, and even Google Keep.

    OneNote works so well between the platforms I use at work (Windows, iOS, and Android) that I don't want to stop using it, but at this point I have stopped using my S Pen for note-taking altogether on my Note 9 and Tab S4. It's just too annoying of an issue, especially when I need to make precise, close-up edits to my handwriting. It's a shame, because OneNote is by-far the most feature-filled note-taking app that I have used.

    I'm hopeful that this issue will get resolved and I'm patiently awaiting any sort of response from Microsoft.

    I also write in the Onenote Community.... SAME ISSUE.

    on two different tablets, Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6.

    Everytime i write a note with the pen, the lines shift up just a bit, but enough to be very annoying and creating issues in the writing.

    I can report that the previous version

    https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/microsoft-corporation/onenote/onenote-16-0-8827-2090-release/

    from Jan 2, 2018 does not exhibit this issue!! IT WORKS (I side installed the apk). Indeed, it is not a fix. This version does not have support for the button functions in my galaxy pen, but I can come.

    Dear Microsoft, could you please advice?

    I put some text below to generate tag for google bots, so this answer can be tracked. There are many people around with the same issue.
