Great summary of Note’s potential! I like to organize my notes into four categories: 1. Projects - I file notes related to personal, professional and academic projects that I’m working on under this category. 2. Areas - Within this category I create folders for different topics such as, finances, health care, kids’ school, etc, and file the notes under the respective topic. 3. Resources - For notes related to all kinds of researches, including web articles, academic papers, etc. 4. Archive - Once I finish any project or research and I no longer need the respective notes/folders, I move it to archive for future reference. Disclaimer: I found this method online and can’t remember the source - thanks to the author and apologies for not referencing you!

[@Paperlike]

That's actually a great way to organize your life 💡 I'm sure the source won't hold it against you 🙃

Gosh, why do I not use Notes more 🤯

[@dsoloud]

Wow this was a great video thanks!

Although I got my first Apple devices (iPhone and iPad) the past couple of years and still consider myself an Android user at heart, I would say that the iPhone Notes app is quite good but Apple generally lacks in supporting the Greek language… all those magic tricks with the Apple pencil, recognising text, etc, don’t work. But for the (few) languages they support… WOW. I once photographed a table with rows and columns and it was 99% perfect. It saved me lots of time. But for handwritten recognition and all the rest of the magic… it is Noteshelf 3 for me. They support Greek.

[@rachelcackleberry]

When Apple notes let’s me use the pen to highlight/handwrite over the top of typed notes I’ll be much happier! Until then it’s GoodNotes for me!

[@CinnamonSen]

iPadOs 18 will bring that, i cant wait for it. so for now… GoodNotes it is.

[@umairx25]

@@CinnamonSenwill pinch to zoom finally be there on iPadOS 18 😭

@@umairx25it used to be able to do this but they removed it at some point. It has annoyed me ever since

[@bridgetweaver-hicks8086]

Excellent video. I love the scanner and quick notes

[@velanastrology]

Nice, thank you

[@GENMIL-dx9qk]

I take screenshots of youtube videos from left corner and add them to notes through the option on the top left, it takes less than 6 seconds and icanstudy any topic easily.

[@nicolelubbehusen1004]

Thank you very much for your input! Looking forward to try out your ideas! 😬

[@sengkangboy]

thanks. this is an amazing video. I have use notes but not 100% and I wasnt aware of so many features you mentioned. !

[@Paperlike]

🙏🙏🙏

[@dtannenb]

Really liked your video and learned a lot. I will be taking advantage of all the tips you shared. I like the app but will probably use it a lot more often now. Thanks for making this video.

[@Paperlike]

You're very welcome! Apple Notes often gets overlooked just because people don't know how to get the most out of it 🙃

[@jayantgokhale6635]

Despite using Notes quite a bit - I was zapped to see the "text replacement feature" - great learning in a concise video. ❤

[@Paperlike]

It often gets overlooked, but it saves precious seconds!

[@IntellihomeSmartDIY]

Good stuff 💪

Appreciate if you could to share a apple note template with link to main note and clicking on the topic takes to topic notes That will be great to share as template that we can import

Hash tags. My news scans are archived on Notes, accessing multiple hashtags simplifies locating and aggregating topics =Peace=

[@Paperlike]

That's SO true!!

[@video-times]

Which iPad is this?

[@prasanthV-ji1ub]

Real productivity is because of the grip you are using for that Apple pencil which makes us feel like real pens

[@Paperlike]

That's true. Our Pencil Grips can be found on paperlike.com 🤗

[@canpolatteker]

Adding voice notes or videos by drug and drop also.

[@Paperlike]

[@Begs_Sun]

Could you let us know which brand is that blue thing on you Appel pencil? It Seems very comfortable writing with it

[@Paperlike]

That's Paperlike's Pencil Grips!

Is it possible to save notes to external drive ??

[@gabrield4892]

Export to a PDF, then yes.

[@sisiriitr]

how is the sync of documents and files with clouds ie onedrive ? Now a days all we work from cloud wish auto sync.

[@Paperlike]

That's one of Apple Notes' limitation. While it's possible to save your notes on third party storage services, auto sync is not an option. You'd have to export your notes as PDFs and send them one at the time to OneDrive.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Bro, Please do answer below questions of apple notes in a ipad. 1. How to resize/zoom handwritten notes in apple notes in ipad ? . When i select the handwritten notes using lasso tool, there is no option to resize. 2. How to zoom typed notes in apple notes in ipad ? . CMD + SHIFT + . is the one in mac, but this dosent work in a ipad. Please share the info.

[@Paperlike]

Hi there, unfortunately, both are not possible in Notes on your iPad. However, you can zoom into anything on the iPad. For that you need to activate the Zoom feature in your settings. Go to: Settings > Accessibility > Zoom on your iPad. When this is switched on, double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn on Zoom, and play around with the window to zoom the part of your Notes you need :)

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

@@Paperlike oh, thanks so much bro 🙏 for your help. This was extremely helpful. I didnt knew this before. Will try this :)

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

@@Paperlike Bro, i tried it :). It is zooming with tap of 3 fingers but not much like we have in goodnotes apps . I wish apple provide resize and zoom for these apple notes apps in future soon .

[@Paperlike]

I know it's not the same. But this workaround is the only way to almost get there. At least until Apple releases an update allowing for it in the future 🙃

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

@@Paperlike Hope so bro 😊. Thanks for your reply.

[@amoghsenapati]

Since iPad OS 16 the iPad heats up when using apple notes or freeform with apple pencil. I have noticed it on my iPad 8th gen , 9th gen with apple pencil (1) and iPad Air (M2) and apple pencil pro. The screen on the right side of my iPad air gets heated and the battery drops a lot and it even lags to the point where the words appear after i finish writing the word with pencil. I hope apple fixes this soon.

[@KrishnaGupta-pn8ee]

Yes I also experience the same 😢brother

[@ArjunSharma-wi3jp]

Experienced the same

[@KrishnaGupta-pn8ee]

It heats when we use apple notes in ipad pro😢

[@abu6127]

It does a lil not that much tho

[@GeorgeGiann]

Link notes??? I CAN DO THAT???

[@Paperlike]

Yep Yep, such a helpful feature!!

[@LiliBcreation]

I NEVER use note because you can,t send or share those with anyone 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤷🏻‍♀️ or send the scan document ..

[@netocabral]

@LiliBcreation It's funny you mention this because yesterday I came across the same problem, but I discovered that it is possible. Sharing the note gives you two options, collaborate or send a copy. Choosing to send a copy if it is just a note it will be sent as text, if it is a document scanning it will be sent a pdf file

[@Paperlike]

Yep, that's a good workaround right there :)

[@Y.Js_musical_journey]

Slow claps from the guys over at samsung 😂😂😂

[@saicharan-xf4ur]

But it doesn’t have zoom…

[@Paperlike]

Unfortunately, zoom is not possible in-app... But there's a workaround! You can actually zoom into anything on the iPad. For that you need to activate the Zoom feature in your settings. Go to: Settings > Accessibility > Zoom on your iPad. When this is switched on, double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn on Zoom, and play around with the window to zoom the part of your Notes you need :) I know it's nothing like zooming in apps like Goodnotes or Notability, but it's a nice work around if you're only using Apple Notes.
