There are many YouTube channels devoted to the iPhone and iPad but I can honestly say that when it comes to explaining how to use a particular Apple App.Yours is by far the best. Your clear diction, explanation and careful guidance is far ahead of the others. As a “Senior” and a lover of the capabilities of the iPad, you as been an immense help in my learning and User experience. Many thanks indeed.

I agree with you…Apple needs to integrate notes, reminder and calendar TOGETHER!!! I never understood why they have not already done this

Tom,  I can't imagine how many hours it took you to put this together. The presentation is so smooth - no fumbling for words (I assume you must script it out?). You undoubtedly spent hours researching the functionality of the app itself, then put together all the appropriate screen shots, etc. The result is a very professional-looking, thorough, and informative tutorial. If I might offer one small suggestion, it would be to add some kind of emphasis (red circle, arrow, etc) showing the button or icon you refer to when navigating. Very well done, sir!

"I'd love to see Apple integrate Notes, Calendar and Reminders together in a future iOS." YES!!! If they did this, I would be able to end my search for an app that I like that does this!! Couldn't agree more!!

Really useful—I knew most things but picked up a few tricks. One small correction that I only recently realized myself – you don’t actually have to tap just on the flat part of the Apple Pencil to get it to switch uses. For a long time I thought this was the case which I found irritating because I had to make sure my grip was touching the flat part and just the right way, but if you double tap it anywhere it will still do this function.

I’m glad somebody with a high profile has mentioned that Apple should have a more comprehensive version of this facility. I really think there should be an option to toggle between an “all-in-one” app, like having Numbers, Pages, Notes, Reminders and anything else useful bundled in a synced “Office 365”- type program, and the option to keep them separate.

Tom, your tutorials have been an absolute game-changer for me! Your straightforward and comprehensive approach to explaining Apple app features has made learning a breeze. Thanks to you, I've mastered so much and feel more confident using these apps. Keep up the amazing work!❤

Two things in particular that will serve me well.
• assigning Face ID to locked notes
• folders within folders. I have a pet sitting folder with many documents. I was able to create a sub folder for the client info notes, a folder for the forms about my business, and contracts that I send to them, and a packing checklist folder.
Thanks again.

The clearest and best Apple tutorials anywhere on You Tube. Great job!

[zerocarbdoc]

So glad I watched your video because I really was unsure of how powerful Apple Notes were and then I did a search on dictation and apple help had a short 30 second video on dictation into notes this is a powerful dictation note taking app. I will have to see if thousands of folders will break it but I am game. Appreciate the sharing and folder organization of your video. Thanks again.

Nice job, thanks! I'd like to suggest using an eye-catching indicator to highlight your cursor movement/position. It will help keep up with your audio stream..

[GeorgeGombossy-nn]

excellent tutorial, question, how do you increase the size of the font? would also love to see a segment on how to fully use the pencil with notes. thanks again. George

I am an old dog that hates learning new tricks. But you have given me a great incentive to work on the NOTE. TQVM.

[rickross]

Great video! I’m constantly using the Note app. It’s my immediate go-to. I love the way I can copy web links into a table which is nested into a folder.

[casey.danielle]

I have tried other note apps and I just love Apple notes it is perfect with my phone and ipad. I prefer it over anything.

[missshaneezh]

This guy should definitely have a million subscribers. Amazing

[adnanal-harbi]

Excellent details.so helpful. I have been using Notes for many many many years this time only I was able to make use of it as designed. Thank you.

[barbarabeatty]

Wow help at last. I am 79 and you talk fasts but not toooo fast. Learned a bunch in two of you videos. Thanks

[georgeroberts]

I got a lot out of this. But, I was looking for information relative to using the Apple Pencil for handwriting, and how the app converts it to text, and also drawing diagrams, pointer arrows, etc in my notes. I didn’t see you cover any of that.😊

I have been playing with notes apps for the past week and have pretty much decided that this is the best all around option. That said, I would feel much better if there were an option to pass export all notes to a backup folder. It could be a plain text or a JSON folder. I would feel better knowing that my data needn't be locked up in a proprietary app forever.
