Thank you. Did not quite realize that I need a digital organizer at this point. Thanks for the info and the tips!

[MitziRoberts]

Do you have a tutorial for the Android?

[earthabeech]

Thank you very much! This is so freeing! Thanks again!

[AngelJackson]

This works perfectly! I love it! Thanks for the tip!

[Jletsgetalong]

Thank you for this, but I have a question. I do not like my handwriting, so I do a text box, this does not transfer over to the calendar. I’ve tried many times, and only recognizes when it’s handwriting. Is there way around it?

[danay-personalacc]

Thanks, your explanation is very clear

[MariaEugenia-wrln]

Have to hold on for few seconds the lasso selection area until turn in invisible box then you can moved to the calendar

[denisegodfrey]

Does this work with outlook and notes?

[Ashley-cgoq]

I cannot drag over from Goodnotes, could there be a setting I haven’t enabled that’s causing the problem?

When I drag and drop from GoodNotes to the Apple Calendar with the Apple Pencil it immediately starts moving the Apple Calendar forward rapidly...I can't get it to just hold on the date/month I want...any suggestions?

[dlott]

It does not drag into google calendar. Any suggestions?

[yagmursanselsevim]

I can not open my digital calendar and use my stickers, take notes, which app should I use fore it, now it’s in pdf format, please help

[alidover]

When I do this, I drag a drop and then a "New Event" box pops up in the calendar like it is about to work and create a new event, and then the box just disappears. Any ideas what might be going wrong? Using GN and Apple Calendar.

[maritries]

Is there not an automatic format? Newbie here 😅thanks :)

[rev.edwardbubbataylor]

Am I understanding correctly that the appointments must be in a text box in order to transfer to the ios calendar, becsuse the hsndwritten appointments in good notes do not transfer?

[penfish]

It did not work for me. 😢 I though I did it the same way you did.

@Wendaful - did you ultimately decide to use Goodnotes instead of ZoomNotes? I saw the video you linked re ZN but seems like maybe you think GN with this google calendar functionality is preferred? I've followed some of your other videos re ZN- I originally started with GN years ago, and switched to ZN b/c of the calendar syncing functionality for planning BUT ... I do find ZN very tedious (for various reasons) even after you get past the original "not super user friendly" learning curve. I asked in the ZN FB group why Ed doesn't just commit to commercializing it - he's been doing this for years. I wonder if he has another job and this was just a hobby. But if he commercialized it and spent the time / money to truly work out the bugs, it would be amazing and there would be a huge demand IMO. Anyway .... just wondered if you had any thoughts on sustainability of using it going forward vs GN.
