How are you using Apple Notes? Storing random recipes, passwords, a quote you found on Pinterest? Or are you using it take actual notes? I'd love to know! ✏
I wish I could use 'Apple-notes ' for note taking but my half month old 10th gen ipad can't afford to operate apple notes even for 10 min before it begins to get heated and notetaking becomes lagging. Does any one have this issue?
@@sreelekshmics3885 you should go complain about it to apple. it's not normal. My older iPad worked just fine with any native apple apps. I even have a 1st gen iPad (from almost 15 years ago) and apart from the native apps, nothing else is compatible anymore. I can still use the notes and jot with down with the good old adonit jot
@kdigitalstudio you can actually edit notes while recording audio. Just press record and then swipe down on the modal window to get back to the main notes interface.
Thank you for this video! I was wondering is there a way to make a table s do sums? E.g. adding all my expenses in a table that will automatically add a total?
I love Apple Notes because it has a lot of features, but also you can check, create, edit and delete your notes from everywhere, doesn't matter if your other device is Windows, Android, Linux and so on through the web. Goodnotes is great but on Apple's system, it only syncs to iCloud automatically and you need to manually backup each files to a Cloud service and then download on the other device. Too much hassle. I love Apple Notes.
This is such an informative video. Although as others have mentioned I wished you could zoom and I also wish you could type and hand write in the same area it still does everything I need and more.
@@notonthat i just keep a minimum number of books (PDF) I am reading on Goodnotes. So it remains on Goodnotes. I used Apple iBooks for ePub format books and I have 200GB iCloud which is sufficient for most of what I do
I use it for mostly everything. It’s pretty powerful … plus it’s integrated into the OS. Ergo, you can tell Siri to do things if at times you’re feeling lazy. 😊 Did I mention Notes is powerful?
Had no idea note could be so comprehensive. I’ll have to check it out further. I just wish we could change the font. Hoping they add that soon. Question. I know there’s a notes widget that can simulate a sticky note for your desktop. Do you know if there’s a way to have multiple sticky notes? Whenever I try it, it uses the same note. I can’t find a way to link it to other notes.
Hey I was noticing your home screen layout have you thought about doing a “what’s on my iPhone?” I liked it so much I copied it!! Anyhow would appreciate it! Thanks!
When I start writing with my apple pencil in Apple Notes, it keeps converting the handwriting to text, as if I typed with the keyboard, is there a setting I need to enable/disable so I can use the notes page for handwriting?
@@eoghanrussell that’s actually not necessary. There is a separate pen with an “A” on its side which makes everything handwritten convert to keyboard text. Just use another pen form the popup menu.
This is one of the best iPad tutorial vids I've seen. You're one of the smartest RUclipsrs around. Your chemistry notes took me back to my school days. Thanks for making me realize I can use iPad for other things besides surfing the internet and chatting. I learned something new today! :)
super helpful video... so simply but throughly explained, I was thinking of getting a different app to take uni notes, but it seems like I surely dont need one, apple notes is more than good enough. Thank you!
Hi, the memory of my ipad is getting full from the good notes files and pdf elements files. Is there any way we can store theses files on external drive or cloud and use them without them being stored in the ipad? This has created a big problem for me. 😢😢
I love Apple Notes but it’s 2024…how can you not have colored text?? I know there’s a workaround with a Mac but I don’t have one right now. I had my son share a note with me with a bunch of colors so I can copy and paste to use color.
This was a tuamlg really helpful. I bought an iPad and was excited to use it, but I just hated looking at my handwritten notes. I’m gonna take another crack at it with the grid template. I also really liked the organization you used. I’ve seen people talk about the using smart folders and such features, but not any practical use for it and I think your notes looks great. I know it’s supposed to be about the content and not the looks, but the better the notes look, the more likely I am to want to read them imo. Also the more likely I might actually take notes in the first place.
Thanks for sharing!! I use apple notes to scan receipts for expense reports. I also pin and hide important docs in the event I need them while traveling. I did use Notes for recipes, but find that I never go back to them, so I started using Paprika instead. Thanks again!
Hi! This is a really great video👍🏻👍🏻. Are you Gina do a “how to” for the different things to do on notes app? That would be really great! I hadn’t realized there are so many features to the notes app‼️ would you consider please? Or maybe you have done so already. Anyhow, thank you, really great video☺️👍🏻👍🏻
I mean, I get that Apple Notes is a really good alternative, especially if you don’t wanna spend money but a dedicated Notes app is really not that expensive 20 bucks once a year for a really good dedicated app is well worth it
Can't say its usable for an extended period of time from my experience, iPad overheats to very uncomfortable level after ~30ish minutes of continuous usage.
@@bridgetweaver-hicks8086 Was also using an M4 11 inch! Have switched to notability since the original post. Maybe it was a software bug that got fixed after the calculator updates on the iPad. Had found various reports of other folks facing overheating on the Notes apps after extended use 🤷♂
Just curious. Is your hard drive full? The fuller it is the harder the swap file has to work to get work done. If it is, try deleting a few things. I like keeping around 5 gigs free at all time because of that.
lol pro Apple notes video. I’d like to point out the miss use of the word “accessible.” I believe you meant to use “continuity” or cross platform/device availability.” Accessibility is very much a word used across many industries for-well-accessibility. Think ADA compliance etc. like screen readers, color inversions, etc. just thought you should know.
Thanks for the video, but the background music is really distracting and unnecessary. At times it makes it really difficult to hear what you're saying.
I believe Samsung is a better option, especially for someone like me, a biomedical engineering student. After using both an iPad and a Samsung tablet, I found the Samsung to be more practical for my needs, and it's also less expensive compared to Apple products
Apple note is great app I loved but one thing is missing which you can’t export note as pdf Technically you can do to move note to Apple Page but this is not good for handwriting script.
Biggest DOWNSIDE of Apple notes 😰 - We cannot zoom selected handwritten notes. - We cannot resize any handwritten notes Whats the use of such notes app using Apple Pencil ? And unfortunately NO RUclipsR RAISES THIS ISSUE IN ENTIRE RUclips COMMUNITY 😡
RUclipsrs do not talk about many issues with apple on RUclips that creates practical problems. Ex apps like good notes, pdf elements etc creates a copy of their own and it fills up the memory so fast, how to deal with this? The charging is slow and battery drains comparatively faster esp when using apps for nkte taking and drawing etc. people can't just buy a new one every year. Stage manager could have been given in ipads without the M1 but they didn't give it. I am unable to download any new updates on my air 4 because the memory is almost from notes and pdf elements files. And no one has made a video on how to solve it.

This is kind of creepy I was literally looking at reviews on apple notes and how to make my own apple notes experience a lot better and then I saw your video pop up 😅
My handwriting in apple notes looks horrible. And the AI smoothening feature is not the solution. Your handwriting should look pleasing from the start. That’s what makes writing with hand exciting. GoodNotes doesn’t get it either. Notability gets it to 90% 😅
Taking handwritten notes on Apple Notes heats up the ipad TOO MUCH. This is the reason i have to switch to Notability and the likes. Have you experienced it ?
BAD ADVICE. You use APPLE NOTES, you are "S T U C K" with it. Try to export multiple notes from APPLE NOTES, try to work with the documents, like merging documents, or anything like that. Not possible to access the files, like md-files. You can ONLY do, what APPLE allows you to do. It is "ROTTON". Good for simple notes. Very bad to use as a longterm vault. I stay with OBSIDIAN. Just because it's "open" to anything, I want to do with my information later.
How are you using Apple Notes? Storing random recipes, passwords, a quote you found on Pinterest? Or are you using it take actual notes? I'd love to know! ✏
why in my apple note , I can't find record audio option?

i've been using freeform to take notes since I got it this semester, didn't know this was even a thing!
I use Apple notes for knowledge management. Goodnotes is still my pick for digital planning and reading pdfs and annotations.
Do you export your PDFs after reading them, or just keep a big growing library of PDFs in GoodNotes?

Figured it out! Had to turn off the scribble feature of the apple pencil.
@@eoghanrussell that’s actually not necessary. There is a separate pen with an “A” on its side which makes everything handwritten convert to keyboard text. Just use another pen form the popup menu.
The most overlooked feature no one ever talks about is the ability to add videos in Apple notes. No other note taking app offers this that I known of.
Is there any apps like this for iphone?

May I ask why not the Pro?
How did you get the salmon colored looking sticky note or square of text?
It was not a sticky note, she just used highlighter and made a box and then wrote on it. So it looked like a sticky note.

Does anyone else faces overheating issue in iPad Air M2 while using apple notes or it just me
It only happens in apple notes1 I use one note, its free and it syncro,
It’s probably because of Apple Intelligence. If you close Auto Text, Refine won’t heat it. It heats up because Apple Intelligence takes too much RAM.
Why isn’t Smart Folder working for me? I did all the hashtags and everything, but it still doesn’t add them to hashtags.

Anyone on iPadOS 18 Beta and got the problem with handwriting getting underlined when writing in the notes app?
please tell me whenever i write on apple notes a dotted underline is come i turn off all setting still it come how can fix that😢

in 11 inch not possible?
It’s lagging if you use it for long time also can’t zoom 😬 prefer for short notes

I have this weird thing When i use it, so i take my notes and as i keep writing it gets laggier and laggier don’t know why ?
The only two down sides are the not so great lazo tool that is definitively better in Goodnotes 6 and the fact that you can’t zoom in
i’ve tried so hard to use apple notes. i just have no idea how you’re finding all these features
Whenever I'm exploring an app, I just tape each tool and see what it does! I experiment!
The issue is you cannot zoom in on handwritten notes you’ve taken on your iPad when you’re referencing them on your iPhone. Makes it hard to read.
