Don't Overlook Apple Notes

[@KDigitalStudio]

How are you using Apple Notes? Storing random recipes, passwords, a quote you found on Pinterest? Or are you using it take actual notes? I'd love to know! ✏

[@simonpeter9617]

why in my apple note , I can't find record audio option?

[@sreelekshmics3885]

I wish I could use 'Apple-notes ' for note taking but my half month old 10th gen ipad can't afford to operate apple notes even for 10 min before it begins to get heated and notetaking becomes lagging. Does any one have this issue?

[@jdock32778]

Excellent tutorial and best voice for narration. Career change?

[@raquelmahr1361]

@@sreelekshmics3885 you should go complain about it to apple. it's not normal. My older iPad worked just fine with any native apple apps. I even have a 1st gen iPad (from almost 15 years ago) and apart from the native apps, nothing else is compatible anymore. I can still use the notes and jot with down with the good old adonit jot

I use Apple notes for knowledge management. Goodnotes is still my pick for digital planning and reading pdfs and annotations.

Do you export your PDFs after reading them, or just keep a big growing library of PDFs in GoodNotes?

[@darwincruz20]

i can’t find the auto-refine handwriting option 😢 but this video is GOLD

[@drdentrepair5530]

This is such an informative video. Although as others have mentioned I wished you could zoom and I also wish you could type and hand write in the same area it still does everything I need and more.

Love your vids! How do I difference the use of different folders and tags, for me, that is kind of like same system for categorize.

[@ryans_life]

Last section of the video was amazing and very useful. Thank you 😊

[@alpha12th]

I am still strugging with Apple note. One of the most important features missing for me was saving/clipping web pages. Not just bookmarking the URLs but actually clipping the content.

[@yesseniabarrera8]

Hey I was noticing your home screen layout have you thought about doing a “what’s on my iPhone?” I liked it so much I copied it!! Anyhow would appreciate it! Thanks!

Thank you for this video! I was wondering is there a way to make a table s do sums? E.g. adding all my expenses in a table that will automatically add a total?

[@ladyhollman9534]

I use it for mostly everything. It’s pretty powerful … plus it’s integrated into the OS. Ergo, you can tell Siri to do things if at times you’re feeling lazy. 😊 Did I mention Notes is powerful?

how did you freely move photos on the notes? Mine still wants to do line breaks and wont let me put it where i want on the page

[@ChrisCadenhead]

Where does Notability rank for ya'll? I love it

[@Notkdenben]

This was a tuamlg really helpful. I bought an iPad and was excited to use it, but I just hated looking at my handwritten notes. I’m gonna take another crack at it with the grid template. I also really liked the organization you used. I’ve seen people talk about the using smart folders and such features, but not any practical use for it and I think your notes looks great. I know it’s supposed to be about the content and not the looks, but the better the notes look, the more likely I am to want to read them imo. Also the more likely I might actually take notes in the first place.

[@Ron_DeForest]

Had no idea note could be so comprehensive. I’ll have to check it out further. I just wish we could change the font. Hoping they add that soon. Question. I know there’s a notes widget that can simulate a sticky note for your desktop. Do you know if there’s a way to have multiple sticky notes? Whenever I try it, it uses the same note. I can’t find a way to link it to other notes.

[@Positioned2win]

Wow opened my eyes to use notes more

[@Padygy]

You can audio record while editing the same note. Open the same note in a second window. Hit record in one window, and edit in the other window.

[@aux-box]

super helpful video... so simply but throughly explained, I was thinking of getting a different app to take uni notes, but it seems like I surely dont need one, apple notes is more than good enough. Thank you!

Does anyone else faces overheating issue in iPad Air M2 while using apple notes or it just me

[@onihanzo2495]

It only happens in apple notes1 I use one note, its free and it syncro,

[@Furkan53772w]

It’s probably because of Apple Intelligence. If you close Auto Text, Refine won’t heat it. It heats up because Apple Intelligence takes too much RAM.

I love Apple Notes because it has a lot of features, but also you can check, create, edit and delete your notes from everywhere, doesn't matter if your other device is Windows, Android, Linux and so on through the web. Goodnotes is great but on Apple's system, it only syncs to iCloud automatically and you need to manually backup each files to a Cloud service and then download on the other device. Too much hassle. I love Apple Notes.

[@bandana_rathore]

Hi, the memory of my ipad is getting full from the good notes files and pdf elements files. Is there any way we can store theses files on external drive or cloud and use them without them being stored in the ipad? This has created a big problem for me. 😢😢

The most overlooked feature no one ever talks about is the ability to add videos in Apple notes. No other note taking app offers this that I known of.

Biggest DOWNSIDE of Apple notes 😰 - We cannot zoom selected handwritten notes. - We cannot resize any handwritten notes Whats the use of such notes app using Apple Pencil ? And unfortunately NO KZbinR RAISES THIS ISSUE IN ENTIRE KZbin COMMUNITY 😡

[@bandana_rathore]

KZbinrs do not talk about many issues with apple on KZbin that creates practical problems. Ex apps like good notes, pdf elements etc creates a copy of their own and it fills up the memory so fast, how to deal with this? The charging is slow and battery drains comparatively faster esp when using apps for nkte taking and drawing etc. people can't just buy a new one every year. Stage manager could have been given in ipads without the M1 but they didn't give it. I am unable to download any new updates on my air 4 because the memory is almost from notes and pdf elements files. And no one has made a video on how to solve it.
