This is how informational videos should be, straight to the point, perfect quick speed of delivery, no umming and aahing, no stupid music...and I ams sure I will pick up useful tips...subscribed of course...thx

[techzung]

you're totally right on notability... subscription based apps are hurting customers... we need to support one time purchase apps

[lerissadore]

The timing of this video is so incredibly perfect I just got an iPad for Christmas and am thinking about fully transitioning! Thank you so much Emily!

[eriecv]

This has got to be one of the most complete and rich information videos I've seen in any category.

Lots and lots of useful information well delivered, amazed that you can show and explain that many things in under 10 minutes. It also has a nice pace, so you can understand everything.

Great video!! Definitely following you!

This video is perfect for those looking to transition to digital note taking for the new year. Love your glasses!

[meghangill]

For anyone looking for a good and free app for note taking, the basic apple note app works well for annotating and is such a good option for beginners!

some people might want to look into getting a magnetic matte screen protector! I got one and I love it. I keep it on most of the time for reading, writing, and drawing but I take it out so I can enjoy videos/movies on the iPad without the grain. would recommend :)

A year later, good notes now charges 29.99 for a one time purchase, but 9.99 per year

[joaquinangelito]

this is so comprehensive! I just got my ipad and this just makes things a lot easier too!

[anthonylabarbera]

I'm starting engineering in 3 months, and was looking to take notes on my iPad, and this video def helped with some concerns. I def need my notetaking to be quick, easy and manageable. Don't really want to have stack and stacks of rushed notes. This vid helped a lot. Thanks!!!

Main Thing about Transistioning is to adapt to that Sensitivity and Muscle Memory as on paper most of us (Including me) have a bad habit of applying too much pressure on paper which causes imprints on Back.

[alexiaceausu]

thank you for initiating us in the digital note-taking community!! i am getting my ipad for christmas and i am so excited just by watching your videos 🥺😍

[whoelsebutjay]

but now goodnotes has a subscription, too. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Writing with my pencil and just love it with my iPad 10 gen

[RuthieOnTheMobile]

I have that apple pencil sleeve (the hexagonal one, that makes the apple pencil chunky), it's great for people who have issues with their hands, it's also quite nostalgic.
My newest purchase, since it does reduce the magnets (even when fitted correctly, it looses grip) is an UPPR pencil stand. I know have a save spot to put my pencil, while my iPad is in it's vertical stand. I just have to remember to charge up the pencil from time to time.

[ngamsomset]

the way you express your thought is superb. subtle, clear and to the point.

[suethinker]

Thank you so much for this video. Yesterday I bought an iPad (9th Gen), which is also my fist Apple device, so your video turned out quite useful for me!

[nabilkadir]

I recently bought an iPad pro for my study and I still learning to convert conventional writing on paper to iPad. Yr video really put some insights to me. Thanks
