[@priyajoshione]

Thank you, Nathan! What a awesome video. It was especially helpful seeing how you apply each tip or trick to a "real" set of your lecture notes. I learned a lot. Great speed of delivery, terrific content, and super style. You're a born teacher. Can't wait for the next one. (How is your writing on the iPad so neat? I find mine deteriorates w/the pencil on glass. Any tips?) Thanks!

[@NathanLemoine]

Thank you so much Priya, I really appreciate the feedback! And honestly, I feel like my handwriting has its moments, sometimes it’s more neat than others but I also try to make it as neat as possible. If some letters come out bad I will erase them and do it over, and I also always use the straight line feature. So any lines I want to make I’ll hold the pen down for a second and it snaps to a perfect line. Just little things like that to make my notes neater

[@kaylenebourne37]

Use a matte screen protector. ZAGG has them if you don’t mind the premium price. Paper like is also a common one. You can find cheaper ones on a,Aaron that do the job great. I bought a 2 pack of a random brand to try it out before getting my ZAGG screen protector and jt works great.

These are genius tips! I purchased both Goodnotes & Notability, but have only been using Goodnotes for a coupe of years. I think I might try out Notability this year 🙂

[@NathanLemoine]

I'm glad you enjoyed the tips! And I'd say definitely give it a shot, I like both applications and you might like notability more than GoodNotes 5!

If you use the voice record feature while taking notes (lets say during a meeting or a class), then as you replay the voice recording after, it will show what notes you took as exactly what time during the recording. Pretty cool feature :)

[@napkin08]

Thx for this. Is there a way to organize by the day? To go back to a particular day and see your notes? All the organization seems to be by file name - not by calendar/day.

[@NathanLemoine]

Yes you can. At the top of each subject/divider if you scroll up to the top you will see a list/gallery view at the top left and on the top right are two arrows that go in different directions. Press on the arrows and you can sort your notes alphabetically, my the date your notes were last modified, or by the date they were created! :)

Where do you store your notes in relation to local memory?

[@nc2959]

Love your videos. Just wondering how much storage would you recommend if I’m purchasing an iPad for someone starting a college engineering degree? Thank you

[@NathanLemoine]

Thank you I really appreciate the kind words! And it definitely depends on what you use it for. If you are strictly using it for note-taking, homework, and media consumption, then 128 will be plenty. My iPad is 128GB and still have a lot of storage left. It's when you get into more creative isles with your iPad that you might want to consider more storage such as music production, video or photo editing.

Nice video. I used to use nothing but notability but have switched over to apple note for the last months. Im curious though, at the beginning it appears that you have notability as a widget on your iPad. Notability does not show up in my widgets. how did you do that?

Great video! I’m a new iPad owner and this was very useful. Is there a way to move an entire section down without overlapping what’s below it? I make notes before class, then during lecture I want to be able to add notes. But often there’s not much room. Can we push the entire document down some?

[@Officialfmmgamer]

How did you get notability as a widget? I can’t seem to find a widget for it. BTW, great video.

Thank you very much Hilde! And I do not have a notability widget unfortunately. You probably saw either the Apple calendar, Apple reminders, or Procreate widgets. Those are the only ones I have and don't believe notability has any :(

Shouldn’t it be subject as the main (as in a class subject)and then dividers ….instead of dividers and subjects…just an idea

[@twilight7457]

Hi, Nathan: One thing bugs me a lot about Notability. It doesn't allow same names for different files in different subjects. For example, I have two subjects - math 101 and physics 100. For each subject, I took lectures throughout the term, and will label them as Lecture 1, lecture 2, etc. But I can use the same name such Lecture 1, Lecture 2, etc. for both math and physics courses, and have to rename them. Otherwise Notability complains. How do you deal with this problem? I understand Notability wants to track each file independently, but I don't like it. What else should I name it besides Lectures?

[@russt4779]

Are you using the “subject” folder to name your subjects. If so, use the divider instead, then you rename your folders however you want

[@russt4779]

I ran into this issue to until I used the divider to group my classes, then inside those dividers I made “subject” folders So it goes like: (Divider) Math ->(subject) Notes -> (subject) Syllabus (Divider)English Same thing. You get the point. You can drag the subject ONTO the dividers.

[@twilight7457]

@@russt4779 Thanks Ardle. That may work, but I already used dividers for time purpose, e.g. Fall term 2021. Thus the courses falls into the subject category for each term. Even if I use Math as dividers, I may want to use Math100, Math200, Math300, etc. as subjects. and the problem persists.

[@russt4779]

@@twilight7457 I would make a Math divider and inside that, I would make another several dividers (Math 101, 102, 200) and inside those subdividers, you can use subject for like Notes, syllabus, etc
