Just downloaded Good Notes. I have been using the Gospel Library but it was lacking. This is amazing! Love your content with Mike! Thanks so much for sharing your perspectives, point of views, and testimonies!!!!
I am so excited to see this video!!! I have been using wide margin journaling PDFs of the scriptures for 3 years in GoodNotes ❤, this year is #4. They are my joy and treasures! I add pictures and charts (John Welch’s charts from BOM Central). I separate the scriptures into the weekly CFM lessons and I usually average about 50 pages per lesson. I print them out by the month and have each month bound at a copy store. I print them because I want to preserve them for a future time when we do not have power anymore, i.e. the last days 😅. I have “converted” a few friends to this study process too. I am handicapped and spend a lot of time laying down, I can conveniently study and mark my scriptures while laying on my couch or in bed ❤. Thanks again for this video!
This method could also save me some money!! 😂 I have at LEAST 10 sets of scriptures! I had completely forgotten about this option as I use Noteshelf 3 for my notes! I’ll play around with it now. ❤ Thanks Bryce.
Oh my goodness!! This is a game changer!! I work with Kevin Balfe and he sent me this!! I truly can't thank you enough!! I love your podcast, listen every week!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Brother Dunford, I have really appreciated your efforts to introduce Good Notes to us. I love the scriptures. Oh how I would love to be able to browse your Good Notes.💜After I mark my scriptures, I often wonder, what special insights or gems have I missed. Maybe you would please consider sharing some of your scripture gem insights or even a video of some of your discoveries with us. Can you imagine being able to browse our prophets scriptures😊?
As a senior citizen, I want to think you for such an inspired option. I'm so excited to spend my weekend downloading the PDFs. Stay humble and hungry my friend, you are inspiring multiple generations.
Thank you, Brad. You can do the same thing with the conference issue of the Liahona. Go to the main page of the magazine and look for those three dots and tap on download. Now you have the PDF of that whole Liahona.
Thank you for the tip on where to get the PDF version of the scriptures. I've been a long time Good Notes user and have had this vision in mind for years but was just missing the PDF. Fanstastic!
This video was inspired! I am a busy, full time nursing student and working full time with two kids. I LOVE my paper scriptures and love to mark/notate as I read. But not having my scriptures readily available when I have the moment to read has made scripture study inconsistent and less meaningful. I already use GoodNotes for school! I am so excited to implement this new strategy to improve my accessibility and consistency with feeding my spirit. I needed this! Thank you!!
Oh, Brother Dunford…very exciting. I take all of my notes on conference talks (etc) in Goodnotes, but never knew I could download the .pdf. Into the same notebook. Now I can download the talk and insert my notes in the same place. How excellent. I have wondered how your highlighting is always so neatly done; now I know. Please say hello to Sister Dunford for me. Thanks for the tutorial😊
Thank you Brother Dunford for sending me the link to get the pdf version of the scriptures and the information about Goodnote 6. I am going to try it. Thanks again 😊
I appreciate you so much what you’ve taught me. I’m older and have macular degeneration pretty severely. If I make my phone black and the letters white, I can see what I cannot see the other way. I am going to teach myself to use this. Thank you so much.
This is an interesting solution to a “nagging issue” with the gospel library app. I’ve found that since I started following your podcast that I’ve started dropping “essays” based on the show notes you produce. They sort of get in the way when you’re trying to read a verse in class. Putting them in a call-out box in the margin would be great.
I'm one of the old fashioned with the book, mingled with digital scripture, so to speak. I keep thinking about Amos 8:11 and a famine of hearing the Word of God. With the ability of corrupt people to digitally alter, always have a hard copy of the scriptures so you'll survive the famine.
Ok, this makes me envious for your brain and skills but rather than coveting your work, you have shown me how to go about it for myself. I did not realise you could have so much imformation here. It looks like it might work for Family History too. I don 't think I can afford it yet.
Thank you! This is a wonderful way to study! I’m excited to share this with others. I need to figure out where to find some of the other scriptures (The Book of Enoch, Apocrypha, and so on - I like having all books of scripture) if you could share where you found those, I’d appreciate it greatly. This is a game changer! Thank you again!
Thank you so much for these great ideas only problem is your video goes silent about halfway through, and can’t hear the instructions on how to mark the notes, links and such….
Bryce once again thank you for the great work you do with your many podcasts. Love your content and teaching style. I am sometimes almost overwhelmed by your thoroughness and I have learned so much from you. Thoroughly enjoyed this little snippet and am up and running already but for life of me I cannot figure out how you put those picture covers on your scriptures. I have tried adding covers to my imported pdf scriptures, but so far have not been able to figure it out.
I use tags extensively in the Gospel Library app. Would this solution have anything like that where I can tag verses and then access my collection of tags and find all of my tagged verses for a specific tag?
It depends on what app you use. The way I do that is to mark each verse with the same tag and then search for that tag. GoodNotes can search your hand written notes. It’s still a pdf, so it won’t pull all the tags out of the document and put them together. But you can find each one.
Thank you for your video. It helped a lot, I suffer from dyslexia, and I’ve always wanted scriptures that I could expand on my iPad and make notes on it like you would any PDF. So I took your advice and downloaded the BOM, it showed a cute little blue book, saying BOM on it, but then I went back to download the other books and I couldn’t get the front page identifying the books. It went immediately into the index ect, and I’m not sure why, can you help me figure it out I do like the look of a little book in my Goodnotes program. Thank you very much Mrs. Bingham.>
The other scripture books do not have a cover photo like the Book of Mormon does. You’ll need to find your own and then insert it as the first page. Then it will show
Thank you for this! I can see it would be really useful. Can you follow footnotes, both in the scriptures and in the conference reports? I am a huge footnote reader...
Thank you Bryce. This is a subject I’ve been thinking about a lot as I haven’t made that transition yet to a digital platform, and you addressed some of my concerns. Quick question…do you mainly use an iPad or mobile phone?
When I open Liahona conference edition, it is not available as a pdf download. Doesn’t even show it in magazine format. I have looked in Gospel Library under magazines and also church website. Both the same. Would there be a settings issue? Thank you for your prompt reply to my previous question
You have to be on the web version. When you get to the conference issue of the Liahona, look for the three little dots off to the far right. Tapping on them will allow you to download it as a PDF.
This looks like what I've been waiting for, but I'll have to keep waiting... The android version is no where near the IOS version and is so buggy it's unusable. 😢
Who woulda thunk it???? I have become completely digital using gospel library for the last decade or so, but I do miss several of the features you suggest are available in a note taking app. I usually use evernote for this in my regular life, but I don't think it has as many editorial options like the one you're using. I love the option to use stickers which I miss from my paper scripture days. Also glue-ins.... any tips on how to do them? I really like being able to go directly to the footnotes and links in gospel library. Are you able to do that?
In goodnotes, press, and hold anywhere on the page and it will allow you to add a comment or add a link. You can fill those comments with your thoughts. And yet they only appear as a small little call out on the page.
I like making notes in the margins. How do you do something like that? For instance, in his book, Jesus Christ, the Key to Salvation, Gerald Lund wrote a great chapter on Lehi’s explanation of the plan of Salvation. I copious notes from that in my scriptures. I get a lot from it, every t8me I read that chapter. Is it possible to make notes like that? I’m currently using a journal edition of the Book of Mormon to facilitate that kind of note taking.
I type and write notes into my margins all the time. The advantage is, I can use very small font and fit more in the margin. I can also add a blank page after that page and include more notes.
In Goodnotes, if you touch the margin, it will open up a comment box and you can type a comment in which can then compress or expand, similar to a note in the LDS gospel library app.
I got the Book of Mormon downloaded. However, I don't have the squares at the top that will take me to the thumbnails. Any suggstions? I love this idea if I can get it to work. I am using the app for android.
The Android version is missing many of the key tools including hyperlinks to each book and chapter. I was super excited to start using this until I discovered the issue. Also, good notes for android is only available for samsung tablets (which I have) but if you are writing with the stylus and touch the screen with your hand, it thinks you want to open a new comment and locks up. You then have to exit and start again. It should not have been taken out of beta, it's so buggy. I'd wait a few more months for android.
No offense intended, but to a non-LDS such as I, it comes across as stuffy and out-of-date. A more relaxed, less formal attire would draw more interest from people who are more interested in the Word than appearance. It's a distraction and a barrier. But maybe LDS don't care what those outside their faith think. Each to their own.
In the case of Goodnotes, you can make your own back up on your device, you can set it to automatically backup at a certain frequency, but all of my notes are kept and backed up on a cloud, so they are available on every device.
Android users? Can you answer that question? I am an Apple user and cannot. But the idea is just the same. Find a good note taking app and use the PDF version. There is a version of Goodnotes for some Android users: www.goodnotes.com/android
I'm still looking. The android version is super buggy and has been for months. I'd love to see it work like the IOS version, but that may be a while. The built the android version on chrome so it's just a glorified website with an app skin.

You have nailed it, good on you
Is Good Notes an Apple app? Don't see it in Google store
Where do you get the wide margin version please?
This method could also save me some money!! 😂 I have at LEAST 10 sets of scriptures! I had completely forgotten about this option as I use Noteshelf 3 for my notes! I’ll play around with it now. ❤ Thanks Bryce.
I love this idea! And I already have good notes. Thank you for sharing.

Perfectly wonderful idea! I’ve been struggling with how to manage my scriptures. Thank you very much!😊
This is fantastic! Just what I needed. Thank you!
Thank you, this is a great idea. I’ve been thinking about how to do something like this. I will be using this!
I’m gonna try it. Thank you.
Very well and easy illustration,will implement, as always God's blessings 🙌 and thank you.❤
Written over digital for sure. But oh the convenience! I love this idea; pdf. I’ll try it. Thanks.
This is an interesting solution to a “nagging issue” with the gospel library app.

I love it! It's only $10 a year very affordable!
This is very amazing. WOW is all I can say. I have had the same questions and this is the answer. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you! This is a wonderful way to study! I’m excited to share this with others.

Any document that comes in a PDF format can be imported into Goodnotes or any other notetaking app. You can usually find a PDF version if you search.
Thank you so much for these great ideas only problem is your video goes silent about halfway through, and can’t hear the instructions on how to mark the notes, links and such….
At what minute? The whole video works fine for me.
Is this a Read only or can I listen to it as well? Thank you so much. I have really enjoyed and appreciated all of your videos.
Bryce once again thank you for the great work you do with your many podcasts. Love your content and teaching style.

I cropped the image to match and then INSERT IMAGE.
@@talkingscripture Thank you Bryce. I think I get what you mean!
@@talkingscripture Ok figured it. Thanks again Bryce for everything.
Does one have to download and pay for the app on both the iPhone and MacBook? Does it work well on the iPhone since the screen is smaller?
I use tags extensively in the Gospel Library app. Would this solution have anything like that where I can tag verses and then access my collection of tags and find all of my tagged verses for a specific tag?

Thank you for this! I can see it would be really useful. Can you follow footnotes, both in the scriptures and in the conference reports? I am a huge footnote reader...
Goodnotes allows hyperlinking, but the pdf version is not pre-hyperlinked. You have to do that yourself.
What about hyper linking, footnotes, adding links to talks, conference video, other pdf’s etc.? That is essential when teaching/study.
Goodnotes can do all of that.
This is so brilliant!!!! 💛
That looks awesome. Thank you 🙏 Will this synchronize between different devices? I guess that depends on if you store the PDF in the cloud or locally?
Goodnotes does. What I mark on one device is very quickly available on another.
Thank you 🙌🏼🏆
Thank you Bryce. This is a subject I’ve been thinking about a lot as I haven’t made that transition yet to a digital platform, and you addressed some of my concerns. Quick question…do you mainly use an iPad or mobile phone?
iPad.
Where do you find PDF for General Conference. Church website doesn’t have it available to download as a PDF. Thank you
Conference edition of the Liahona.
Thank you so much!
When I open Liahona conference edition, it is not available as a pdf download. Doesn’t even show it in magazine format. I have looked in Gospel Library under magazines and also church website. Both the same. Would there be a settings issue? Thank you for your prompt reply to my previous question

I prefer my scriptures they are scared. Because I can touch them. I do read now LDS tools . I prefer the or I can touch it feel it
Wow! Thank you.
Can you link/share the library between iPad and iphone, so you have it on both?
Yes!
This looks like what I've been waiting for, but I'll have to keep waiting... The android version is no where near the IOS version and is so buggy it's unusable. 😢

I really like being able to go directly to the footnotes and links in gospel library. Are you able to do that?
Goodnotes allows you to hyperlink. That’s how I do that.
In goodnotes, press, and hold anywhere on the page and it will allow you to add a comment or add a link. You can fill those comments with your thoughts. And yet they only appear as a small little call out on the page.

great idea that i had no idea of
Could we use squid notes in place of Goodnotes, anything I should look for?
Any pdf reader will work. The more tools it has, the more you will be able to do.
I got the Book of Mormon downloaded. However, I don't have the squares at the top that will take me to the thumbnails. Any suggstions? I love this idea if I can get it to work. I am using the app for android.
I am not familiar with the Android version. Hopefully they fix it soon.
Good notes.. Is it for apple user only?
www.goodnotes.com/android
The Android version is missing many of the key tools including hyperlinks to each book and chapter. I was super excited to start using this until I discovered the issue.
Also, good notes for android is only available for samsung tablets (which I have) but if you are writing with the stylus and touch the screen with your hand, it thinks you want to open a new comment and locks up. You then have to exit and start again.
It should not have been taken out of beta, it's so buggy. I'd wait a few more months for android.
I tried finding one for android and decided on NoteIn. It has worked very well so far.
What plan do you use and how many GB's for all those notes?
I’m on the monthly plan. I have hundreds of documents and books for church, work, school board, personal, and they take up 7 GB.
Great. Thank you.
Why do all LDS podcasters wear dress shirts and ties, sometimes suits? It seems to be a sort of uniform. Just wondering.
Watcher Palmer & Greg Madsen (quic media) do not.
Reverence for the material we’re presenting. These are not casual truths of which we speak. I want my attire to match the dignity of the message.
No offense intended, but to a non-LDS such as I, it comes across as stuffy and out-of-date. A more relaxed, less formal attire would draw more interest from people who are more interested in the Word than appearance. It's a distraction and a barrier. But maybe LDS don't care what those outside their faith think. Each to their own.
Where are your notes etc backed up?
In the case of Goodnotes, you can make your own back up on your device, you can set it to automatically backup at a certain frequency, but all of my notes are kept and backed up on a cloud, so they are available on every device.
Very interesting but too complicated to follow. Need a manual with step by step instructions
Probably not the best option for you. I just wanted to let people know who were looking for this option where to find it.
What is a good one compatible with all Androids?
Android users? Can you answer that question? I am an Apple user and cannot. But the idea is just the same. Find a good note taking app and use the PDF version.
There is a version of Goodnotes for some Android users:
www.goodnotes.com/android

The built the android version on chrome so it's just a glorified website with an app skin.
I recommend NoteIn for Android.
Any comparable app for Android?
www.goodnotes.com/android
I tried out several note taking apps for Android and ended up using NoteIn.
