I got an iPad (just the baseline one) for the holidays in 2018 and I never found myself using it tbh. I never liked the feel of the apple pencil on the screen and overall taking notes on an iPad just isn't as satisfying or enjoyable as taking notes on paper. I love being able to physically flip through my notes and use pen (or pencil) on paper. As she mentioned in the video, I definitely couldn't imagine subjects like math, physics, or chemistry being as efficient on an iPad as on paper. It's also a lot easier for me to hold myself accountable if I'm taking notes on paper rather than on an iPad because I would often find myself browsing KZbin instead of working. You can't really do that with a notebook haha.

I guess you could say? the most? well anyways THANK U FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO

[@tbhstudying]

no problem! tbh i think i have far more criticism for the ipad compared to other study channels, so i worried that this video wouldn't be as helpful (??) compared to others. i'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@AnaAguilar-ks7bf]

i'm giving my opinion in case someone is thinking about getting and ipad for school: I've been using an ipad 6th generation with the first generation apple pencil for the past year, and oh boi. GAME CHANGER. I exclusively use it for notetaking, and i'm majoring an energy sistems engineering btw. 1. i have all my notes in one place. i can access to them whenever i need. THIS IS A HIT. 2. i used to take lecture pictures with my phone, but then my gallery was so messy, and also it was time consuming every time i needed to transcript the picture to my physical notes. i have way more reasons about how getting and ipad changed my college experience the last year. Really, if you can afford it (also mine was second hand lol), i recomend 100% buying and ipad for school. (sorry for my bad english, u_u don't be so rude with me haha :C)

[@alexabarajas7900]

Where did you buy it second hand? I also want to get the 6 th generation since it's the one I could kind of afford but if it's second hand it would be great:(

Wait I want to know the other reasons 🥺

[@bandlover3890]

Marissa Olivia maybe look up the student iPad and then maybe a used one? It can get pretty cheap then if you already use the Budget iPad (I use it and it's perfectly fine!) and then getting it used will make it even cheaper. If the quality of the used product is still good you can get a good device for a fraction of the iPad Pro price

[@tbhstudying]

check the normal ipads (not pro) and/or the refurbished section on apple, and if you can, apply the student discount. however, if your budget doesn't fit an ipad, then it's fine to not have one! i personally regret getting mine even though i really wanted one beforehand. take care!

Marissa Olivia an iPad is great if you already have a good laptop.

But I absolutely love GoodNotes :)

[@tvptrinh1388]

I’ve been really requesting this lately and I’m so glad you were able to make it. Thank you sm seo hope you and your family stay happy and healthy.

[@landoftoontopia1160]

honestly, my high school has a byod (bring your own device) policy, so i used to use an ipad, but i would only use it to view slides because i find i memorize info better with paper notes (idk, something with the texture or kinesthetics) and i just like the feel of having paper notes as opposed to something nonphysical like an ipad. eventually, i passed thr ipad to my brother and got a laptop, which does work better. that being said, i know tons of kids who like annotating on their tablets and use the hell put of goodnotes. so it's just a matter of preference and budget. thanks for the vid!

[@nazifasumiya4316]

Also can I just say how much I appreciate the subtitles because I actually can’t play the video at full volume so it’s easier for me to read than listen so thank you ♥️

[@soulful_mind]

gah i needed this video so much 😄👍🏻

[@drei_cee]

I love your explanation/comparisons from 11:21 to 14:32. I feel like a lot of students are pressured into buying an iPad (myself included) because they see a lot of KZbinrs/studygram accounts that use one. It really is based on preference and having an iPad doesn’t guarantee you’ll make better notes or get better grades lol. It definitely is a helpful tool but you can totally survive without it! Back when the iPad was not yet invented, people were doing just fine haha. 😉

[@tbhstudying]

yeah, i honestly regret getting an ipad sometimes, and i feel like i was fooled more by other studygrams and videos i was watching at the time. don't get me wrong; it's helpful and has its uses, but it's not something that i see to be superior to paper or something that is necessary

[@Honeymoss626]

this was really good advice! even though I'm only a sophomore in highschool I already know I wanna take a science major so knowing that it needs laptop bases programs is deffitnely something to keep note of for the future

[@tbhstudying]

i guess it would also depend on the classes that you're taking and the kinds of programs they expect you to have? but for the science classes that i've been in so far, i do need my laptop to do a lot of the things that my classes ask me to use (ex: sapling, gaussview, excel software packages, matlab, avida, etc)

[@Honeymoss626]

@@tbhstudying yeah I don't know for a while, but I'm just currently looking at an idea for i know how much to save up when I get a job, I'm leaning towards a two in one for i can a still take handwritten notes while being able to hold programs that I might need to use.

I really am thinking of moving from paper notes to digital notes, but sadly i only have an ipad 5th gen and a basic stylus. I was wondering if goodnotes has a good palm rejection software cause I don’t have an apple pencil which has a palm rejection software. Also to anyone who used notability and goodnotes, which app has a better palm rejection software for those people who do not use palm rejection software styluses?

don’t have an apple pencil either, palm rejection is good on goodnotes. you can set where your hand lies when writing. I’ve never used notability though so I can’t help you with anything else :,)

there are palm rejection settings within the app, but you won’t have the pressure sensitivity the pencil has.

violetsandsunsets I would say as a Year 13 currently, stay with it in regards to your school work. No one really knows what’s going to happen next year and your whole year group is in the same position. As the situation progresses you will find out info in regards to exams whether they are your GCSE’s or A Levels. Stay strong and keep up the work it will turn out fine in the long run.

As someone who rewrites their notes, I find that when I use paper, I would double the amount of paper I use. As part of the Eco CLub Cabinet at school, it doesn’t look good on my part nor do I want to continuously buy more and more paper. After buying the iPad Pro 11inch and sticking on a matte page protector, it feels pretty close to writing on paper. Maybe even buying a silicone nib to put on the pencil would increase the similar feeling of pen and paper. For me, it has definitely been a good switch

the IPAD is really good for notetaking but if you do not have the money for it, you can use a Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite or galaxy tab s6. even though there are not that many good apps for google play to take notes, it still works perfectly fine for me as I use it to take notes in college. it also comes with a stylus when you buy it.
