7:20 Took me a while to figure out the Scribble to erase feature. It was driving my crazy! I had to watch the Apple demonstration a few times to figure out the trick to it. Now it works great every time! It's the same trick as drawing perfect shapes, where you draw the object and hold for a second to have it be perfect. In that same fashion, you have to scribble out what you want to erase AND HOLD FOR A SECOND. Then it works great!

Can you please tell me how to get smart script like I can’t use it please like I’ve tried so many times in my notes app and everything but still I can and I have ipados18 help 😢.

[aroundomaha]

I use Apple notes more than other note apps because it handles text relatively well, and across all my devices. For hand written notes I don’t want spell checking because they are for my own study and not for sharing.

Hi, thank you so much for your content! My main interest is taking notes on PDFs (which are my primary study material). Could you tell me if the native PDF editor has improved or implemented new tools in iPadOS 18?

[seasonedmason]

7:52 can you use an Apple Pencil to highlight text in the typed text area or can you still not do both drawn and typed text in the same field?

[saigamingff]

Please tell me how to turn off spell check in ipad

Exporting Apple Notes to PDF cuts off handwritten notes (in Ipad)

Is there any solution for this?

[XristosGeorgoulas]

Can you resize a drawing or a word in this update on old iPads? I don’t mean to zoom in and out just resize

[raghavsharma]

i was using text to handwriting feature when first installed ipados 18 and after weeks it just doesnt poop up the paste option any solutions please help

[oo-blki]

In ipadOS18 freeform, can you copy and press style with the shortkey option+command+c -> option+command+v like a macbook do yet in ipados18?

[ElizabethMcClendon-vf]

It took me forever to figure out the scribble to erase as well. But it’s very simple when you scribble just keep hold at the end

[gaurav.malhotra]

Is there any easy way to create reminders from apple notes with IOS 18 ?

[Patrick]

Should slash command functionality come to Apple Notes or Apple Pages? Which would be the better fit?

[xCUBE]

Auto-Refine Handwriting in iPadOS 18 beta changes color to black when switching colors on the same line. Do you get this too?

[vespucciph]

Thanks! Is the font still pixel-based or did they switch to vector? Also, can you zoom in and out on handwriting? These are the main features keeping me on Notability.

[DrBarunKumar]

Hey can you make Demo video on margin note 4..

[HarryJoiner-uqyk]

I contacted Apple because I could mark up on a text block but not on typing directly into the note. Is there a work around, or is Apple indicating they are working on that issue?
I enjoyed and appreciated your presentation.

[bob-quj]

They should also improve the continuity across mac and ios bc some markup options on ios don't show on mac that's really annoying, great though they're adding highlights that's definitely great for lectures notes a feature ive been waiting for!

[monukumar-yvfw]

Apple Notes device gets hot after taking 10 pages of notes. Any solution?

[tommyboyindy]

Actually this app is much better in the final version than this review. Notes is not notability yet but it’s getting there. I use my notes app more than any other app so I use Notability. But it you use it just for school or general business purposes it is pretty good. The audio function is much better than Roxie gives it credit for, just my opinions.
