Any classes this season that have you particularly excited? How are you taking notes on the iPad? 🤓

[@katieweber1241]

your 420 notes were SO much better than mine 😂 feeling inspired for my grad classes now haha

[@jesuisjoselyn]

Hi just want to say I love your videos! I currently started taking genetics online and have been watching your videos to learn how to make a digital planner and make my notes on GoodNotes. (I am a total newb) would love to see more videos like this! Thank you for all of your time and help ☺️

[@nahtesalinas1917]

Because of your video I'm now buying goodnotes. I love you so much. 🥰

[@pandulathennakoon3826]

Not as neat as yours! Simply cant find time to write them this neat. Btw your hand writing is Superrr..

[@H.Maria007]

Hey. Do you think I can use a black sheet on there ?

[@Jaineiah]

I'm lowkey glad I am not the only one who finds watching people take notes on their ipads interesting!

OK this makes me want to take some college classes and I've been graduated for about 10 years now, haha! Literally never thought I would say that but you make it look SO fun and creative.

It’s not just for school u can use it for work projects.

[@truebeautyforever]

Just wanted to say thank you for this swift yet clear and concise video on this topic! I have adhd and haven’t been in school for almost a decade so I’m nervous but I’m excited to try digital note taking to help keep me better organized! This has probably been the most helpful video I’ve come across yet!

[@migueldsouza9695]

Thanks for this! I’ve an interview today and they use Goodnotes. A very short and concise introduction which will allow me to say I have familiarity with the product. Love your delivery style too, very nice to listen to.

[@Valeria.Abarca]

I just started college and I have to say thank you so much for all of your videos, they’ve been such a big help!!!

[@brianherman503]

Just found this video, 2 years after it was made. It's well done and still relevant. Nice job!

[@DianaMichelle]

Hi K! I’ve been using my iPad far longer than I started watching your videos (back in 2011 tbh), so I know my way around these devices like the palm of my hand but I still find your content extremely clean and aesthetic and just so pleasing to watch. I love your digital notes and planners, and every time you post a new video, I’m excited to see what you did with your iPad next. Keep up the amazing content! 🌸 🤗

[@janetownley]

You must have bought the very first iPad which came out April 3, 2010

[@seekittycat]

I just got my first iPad and I'm so excited ☺️ thank you for the tips!

[@sherindaniel7769]

Hey K, I’ve always been binge watching your videos. You’ve inspired me to create planners, stickers and sell them. I’ve been planning to open a small biz shop and all credits go to you. Thank you K💜✨

[@KDigitalStudio]

That's so awesome to hear! Wishing you the best!

[@tulio5990]

Among all videos I've seen for taking notes on my new ipad yours is the best by far, very didactic, thx.

[@kaylynlove561]

SO CLEVER 🤩🤩🤩 I always felt so sad that I couldn’t do the calligraphy titles but this is genius!!

[@Windenberg]

I'm a completely mess at this, so I appreciate your hard work. Keep growing girl

[@Georgies_Chronicle]

wow i just got this ipad and I'm excited to take notes this way! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@sarahstevens6854]

Love how you do the titles, thanks for the tips

[@bin4ry_d3struct0r]

For equations, I'd either take a screen shot cutout of those I find online or from the PDF version of the textbook and then import the image into the notes. It's more time-consuming, but it guarantees neatness. Out of all the parts in your notes, you want your equations to be super neat.

[@Elvalenciiaa]

Good job sweetie, you covered exactly what I want to know in your first 3mins. Thanks

I love learning, but as someone who has learning difficulties it's hard so I have to watch these videos whilst trying to stay motivated.

[@OcculticRomantic]

I wish I had this technology and information when I was in school. It would have helped me so much.

[@karinalee.]

Uhh it wouldn’t be allowed Only some schools actually allow electronics But, it would be so so so good if it was available at that time.

[@crystalstephens2368]

I just got an iPad! This helps so much. Thank you :)

[@joyce3790]

You are a parent’s delight. Keep up the great work.

[@zonumev]

Excellent presentation. Keep up the good work.

[@RuthieOnTheMobile]

I love Goodnotes. I handwrite all my assignments (Maths student) and export as images since exporting as a PDF is too big (even after compressing) for my Uni's upload system. I then import to Word and save as PDF. There is an option to export without the background paper template. I use the GN5 grid template and export it to blank paper. As you say, everything is so neat, even my tutors have commented on my neat handwriting!

[@RuthieOnTheMobile]

I've been using Goodnotes for quite a while now. I've since got my file size down by using the ball point pen, disabling text recognition and turning off the background when I export as PDF. I hope that helps others in the future!

[@kuhhala]

Thank you for giving some of use the inspiration we needed! Started taking fully digital notes because of you! 💛

Tnk u so much it helped a lot... 😘❤️

[@Fireplug52]

Wow! I had no idea that GoodNotes could do so much. Gives me hope that my ability to screw up using this app that maybe its usefulness is far greater than my ability and therefore could be a useful tool for verse mapping.

THANK YOU!

I’ll finally have a job and I’ll be buying the iPad Air 4 for college next year. I can’t work with a computer because I can’t memorize anything. I like writing by hand, I’m more efficient. But having an iPad will help me work wherever I am because I won’t have to bring everything with me

[@brantwinter]

@KDigitalStudio - love this! Everyone is wanting to know the name of that font at 6:06!!

[@kerenbanget1]

I always wondered how people on KZbin presented their notes so nicely and beautifully, and now I know. But deep inside, I think that taking notes and designing the notes is overkill.

[@ailaka1925]

Where do you get your fonts? Specifically the font used for “polymer Synthesis”?

[@failureTOwin336]

Monoline script

[@brantwinter]

@@failureTOwin336 Monoline Script was the first font in the video! We're all looking for the font at around 6:06!

Hi Mam good day, I have a question does your ipad pro heating up while using good notes? My ipad pro 11 (2021) is getting warm while using the apple notes. I wonder to get goodnotes if doesn't heat up the ipad pro. Thank you so much. More power to you :)

[@Asmr_dear]

Can you please Tell me, which Font do you used to do the title ?? 🌸

[@a.s3222]

Is the iPad good at multitasking, e.g for students doing long assignment and needing to use split screen and such?

[@xXCHAxMIXx]

I’m not a student anymore but I’m studying languages, so I’m looking forward to that. I wanted to know how you did the color on the title? I know you layered it over the other but is there a trick to it so one color is above the other? Thank you for your videos! So inspiring

[@LaurelPapworth]

Drag the colour you want on top, so either A on top of B or B on top of A. There’s no layers as such, except the order you choose.

[@xXCHAxMIXx]

@@LaurelPapworth I'm not sure why but the color I drag on top automatically drops below the other color. Any ideas? Edit: It worked this time! Maybe I did something last time....

[@nykka3]

I wish digital note taking was a thing when I was a biochem major in the 90’s lol

Sorry if you've already answered this, do you use a screen protector for writing with the apple pencil? I know that plastic shouldn't scratch glass but I just want to be sure

[@leifdux7277]

What I didn't like about GoodNotes 5 is that it has no infinite canvas nor compatibility with Windows PC. I use it for research notes and I enjoy an unlimited page size since there is always additional information to add...
