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!

Yes! Thank you Zoey!!

[@mica8b]

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 :)

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!!!

[@DUYFIUYLIHY]

HEY , u now probably doing your 2nd yr ig. RIGHT NOW i have 3 months till my engineering clg start, so did u buy the ipad and was it worth the purchase ?

[@borntobereal2004]

​@@DUYFIUYLIHYI don't know about him but l am done with my first year of engineering without any tablets. I used a laptop for doing works like engineering drawing and codes and for reading slides and pdf, and used paper and pen for taking notes. I think having paper notes are soothing, l also prefer reading physical copies of books from libraries. Max students of my class have ipads or other tabs while l don't, but my cgpa was the best. So it really depends on you. The fact is, ipad isn't a necessity for engineering, it's just a luxury. However, I am thinking of buying a tab(android, don't want to spend much) for reading slides and pdf. I have to do too much heavy software works on my laptop so need to reduce the load a bit.

[@DUYFIUYLIHY]

[@ngamsomset]

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

[@emilystudying]

Thank you so much 😀

[@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.

[@suethinker852]

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!

[@BTS-vs2io]

I'm about to buy the iPad 9th gen too, but I don't know if I should save money for an ipad Air 4 (I like a lot more the screen design) 😩

[@nabilkadir9648]

[@mohmohamed4198]

I really appreciate the honesty in this video, not just a regular apple fans bullshiting about you have to buy every apple accessory

[@Ryuko_Shuji.]

A screen protector that feels like paper is great!

[@LvUhcX]

Interesting take. I don’t have an iPad but I use an electronic device. I write on paper for the initial studying and information down then I use the device to practice hundreds of problems where I can freely write and delete and overwrite zzz this method is very efficient . To traverse across many mediums will enforce your mind

[@zoge07]

Tahts perfect TYSM i am gonna switch to Digital Note taking when i have money like in 3 or 4 months 😁😊!

[@selenaleslie1244]

As someone who writes solely in cursive I find it incredibly hard to maintain the flow of writing on my iPad. It looks patchy and not put together. But hand printing takes so much longer which is inefficient when I’m in class trying to keep up with professors. There’s really no winning i carry my iPad and MacBook to minimize what’s in my bag to reduce weight but I have to carry a notebook with everything to take my notes due to handwriting rather than hand printing.

[@baileyspooner7936]

Get a paper like screen protector. I had the same problem before too. It add a little bit of grip to the screen, so the pen doesnt slip amd skip parts

[@AnaLogical-rx1oj]

great video! Only one thing about the apple pencil: the difference is pen pressure! If you just need an ipad to take notes then you don't need it, but if you wanna draw, pem pressure is such a life changer

[@aldo5658]

Just bought this as my 1st Apple iPad and absolutely love it ! Just wish I bought the accessories 1st 😢 but over a massive help for notes !

[@trishmichaelalpuerto8062]

Notability has this weird “limited editing” that makes them one of the most hated notetaking apps on my IPad. So glad to see someone balanced out the dispute between these two most popular note Taking apps,

[@matt_baker_101st]

Why so cute, thankyou for the tips.. Got a new iPad 9th gen last week for note making😁.

[@ushiocheng]

okay, while I strongly agree with some point, I have a strong opinion to others. And I should be qualified to discuss this as a 5 year note taker on ipad There is a vast difference between Apple pencil and other styles, pressure sensitivity, convenience, and responsiveness is the most obvious ones. I do agree that buying Apple pencil for simple note taking is a matter of diminishing return but claiming Apple pencil and other styles works basically the same is just an insult to Apple engineers. *side note I got one for 70, which is a great deal but I think you can find one for cheap as well For cases, a flap to protect your pencil is good but cases that have a cutout to put your pencil in is better IMO. *though if you like to put a sleeve on your apple pencil it won't fit, so personal preference here Screen protector...... my stance is basically: if you have a case with a thing that covers your screen, you don't. Unless you don't trust yourself so much or you hate write on glass, don't do it. Since this video is intended for new ipad users, I would suggest don't get a screen protector until you tried to write on glass for a while. Also, NO paperlike please especially if you get the 12 in ipad pro, you get like a $600 screen and than ruin the contrast ratio with an overpriced screen protector.... and paperlike is definitely overpriced just because how much money they put into promotion. GoodNote yes! :) plus you can write on a page by page basis which is more friendly to handouts and printing. I don't know notability moved to a subscription plan, which is annoying, but the last time I tried I didn't like it anyway. Free app exist but I guess if you already spent couple hundred dollars at least on an ipad, spend 8 more for a good app isn't that hard to justify.

[@emilystudying]

for your first point about the apple pencil styles, most people who have an iPad for school aren't heavily into calligraphy/art pressure sensitivity (a broad statement, but most of my friends who have ipads have no idea what calligraphy is), so having the pressure sensitivity is useless. The apple pencil dupes are a lot cheaper and basically write the same way in my opinion. i do agree with the cutout for the apple pencil, but i usually have the grip, so it doesn't fit. i also have the screen protector cause i have the fear that things might get scratched. you can always try an off brand matte screen protector though. but i notice that glass is just weird (personal preference). but thank you for the comment, appreciate another insight!

[@lynnd4221]

do you know an alternative to apple pencil with pressure sensitivity? i’ve been looking forever but never found a dupe that has pressure sensitivity :(

[@thirdpartypariah6514]

Don’t forget you CANNOT rest your hand and write at the same time with anything but the Apple Pencil. You saying anything else is “basically the same” is quite misleading as there are some big differences.

[@Dreyacole]

@@thirdpartypariah6514 i have an off brand pencil from amazon and can do just that with no issue at all. IMO the apple pencil has a lot of cute extras but when it comes to the basic functions a lot of these off brand pencils can keep up :)

[@basilikozartos]

I would recommend an artist drawing glove as well. You can slide your hand much more easily on the surface of the screen. And the screen stays cleaner

[@robertmaxey5406]

Great video, well done.I might suggest downloading some lettering practice sheets like many of us remember from grade school. Practice for half an hour a day and a month later, it will be easy to write on an iPad. Many practice sheets can be found on the Internet. While writing, slow down. Speed kills great writing. The smooth iPad surface and hard stylus tips will take getting used to. I prefer tip covers.

[@tee.ghost.]

I’ve been watching loads of your videos and they help a lot! I’m saving for a ipad pro and i’ve looked at all the cheaper pencils and keyboards but i prefer the apple ones :). You’ve realy helped and i’ve got 600 pounds (i’m british ) saved for my ipad :)
