I hope you learned something new! Let me know what are your favorite tips/hacks. If you need more time just slow the video down using the youtube speed settings

[@strnxvi]

Hii i love your tutorials and ur videos! You give me motivation to redesign my ipad!!! Keep doing what you’re doing

[@ijdigitalpaper]

This motivated me to plan on my iPad in a new way✨

[@hummurimshu7437]

Which app is this

[@HappyDownloads]

@@strnxvi Really glad you like my videos and it gives you motivation!

[@HappyDownloads]

@@ijdigitalpaper Glad this motivated you to do the same!

[@saraangel6696]

I’m no longer a student, but i had to sign a lot of documents for my job. I ended up saving my signature as a sticker on goodnotes and it was the best, a real time saver. If you have to write a lot of things over and over, also save that as a sticker.

[@HappyDownloads]

That's a good idea, thanks!

[@aislingbyrne8900]

Yes! I saved all my most-used daily phrases (things that are regularly in my to-do lists for example) and now instead of typing them i just add them individually as stickers to my list as i need them. Having them saved as as stickers i can view also helps me find things i could add to my list each day that maybe i hadn’t thought of that day lol. Life saver!

[@saraangel6696]

@@aislingbyrne8900 i hadn't thought about having like a go-to todo list as a sticker, that's genious! there are a lot of things that are repetitive (make the bed, do laundry, meal plan, etc).

[@culbyjenn]

omg thats such a good idea, im saving this

[@tiarasiobhon]

You are so proficient in the good notes app! I learned so much more today and I appreciate the video not being sped up like a short or one of those IG stories because I can never follow what people are doing at super fast speeds 😅

[@HappyDownloads]

Thank you! Really glad our video has been useful to you!

[@kevinkamin]

You're amazing. No unnecessary moments, just rock solid tips. Thank you!

[@foxkocreates]

Great video. I'm a graphic designer and avid bullet journaler but because I don't have a lot of time to make my own I purchased your planner for Goodnotes and I just want to say that you've done a really fantastic job! So comprehensive and well thought out. Your service design is fantastic too . Not only in terms of the way a customer can customise their own journal but all the after care with tutorial videos and links! Nice work!

[@HappyDownloads]

Thank you so much! glad you like my planners ❤

[@goldmanfan504]

I'm heading back to school after a several year break and this is just what I needed to be able to make the most out of goodnotes! Thank you so much for putting this video together it was very helpful.

[@HappyDownloads]

Glad you found this helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@gingermomof6]

By far the best Goodnotes Tips video I have seen. I saw exactly what I needed/wanted to learn. Thank you

[@TheeBratzDollxox]

I been playing around with a few different note taking apps to see if the free ones would suffice. They’re decent but I was disappointed that they weren’t performing as well I thought they would. From the tutorials I watch I find that Goodnotes has more of the features and functionality that I’d find useful, convenient and efficient. This video just sold me on finally starting the subscription plan! I’m excited 😍🤩

[@emdeers]

Wow. I’ve been using GoodNotes for years, and I learned so much! Thank you for making this video. I’m going to have to watch it again, and take some (good) notes. 😅 You are so incredibly talented. ♥️

[@HappyDownloads]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate your support! Hope our content is useful to you🥰

[@cindyhill1153]

I have had my iPad for over 3 years and I never knew 3/4 of these things. Thank you

[@triggeredlatina]

You always amaze me with your GOODNOTES knowledge. Did you MAKE the app yourself? How do you know all of this information?!🤯 lol when I see some of the stickers in your videos sometimes I’m like ! Hey I have those too! And those! And those!!! It’s bc I forget I’ve bought SO many of your stickers. I love your art style and you have such a variety. Thank you for taking so much time to put towards your sticker packs. I’m grateful for all the ones I bought from your Etsy shop.

[@HappyDownloads]

omg thank you so much for all your support, really glad you like my stickers! ❤ I did not make goodnotes but I am a fan of the app! 😂

Great video! You taught SO much in so little time! I’ve saved this as a reference video for my studies.

This may have been covered and I'm sorry if I missed it. Are you using an 11 inch or 12.9 inch display? Do you like one over the other for digital planning? Do you notice a big difference between the M1 chip and M2 chip when using the digital planner? I'm buying my first iPad and so excited!

[@PTheeEmpress]

This is also me rn! I hear there’s no real difference over the m1 and m2 models so I’m excited to have either one

@PTheeEmpress same. Im probably going with an M1 to save money. I did learn from one of her other tutorials that she is using a 12.9 screen.
