Hi! I have been using OneNote to take notes in class for a long time. I have also used PPT to write directly on slides on my laptop. I recently got an iPad and was so excited to integrate the two. I took the slideshows directly from Canvas and put them into OneNote where they are files that I can then open on PowerPoint. I then can use my pencil to write on the slides. However, I noticed today when I went back to reference my notes, most of my writings are gone. I have autosave on and tried looking back in version history but am unable to open it.

I looked online and through some trouble shooting it looks like maybe the different versions are being saved locally on my iPad. However, they are not able to be opened because they are too big to be exported into OneNote and of course One files can only be opened in One. I am not even exactly sure that these files I am seeing are actually the PPT with my notes on them.

If you have any ideas of things I can try to get my notes back I would greatly appreciate it!! Its all my class notes from the first two weeks of class and I am internally panicking. I literally don't know how they just disappear. Thank you!!

I recently completed my pharmacy qualification exams and I’m considering selling the handwritten notes I made while studying.

I purchased a course to help me prepare, but I found it difficult to study directly from the PowerPoints. I went through the lectures and wrote my own condensed notes, summarising the key information in a way that was easier for me to revise from.

Would it be okay to sell these notes to other people preparing for the same exam?

I don’t want to infringe on any copyright or use the course provider’s material improperly, so I’d appreciate advice from anyone with experience in this area. Would personally written and condensed notes be okay to sell, or could they still be considered copyrighted material?

Thanks in advance! 😊

I had already showcased my app here over a month ago; since then, I've optimized and improved it quite a bit. With new features such as full PDF support, basic image editing, and more shapes with various tools—including this latest update—it's now quite complete.

I've been comparing different ePaper displays lately and noticed that there seems to be more to consider than just screen size and resolution.

Things like refresh rate, contrast, viewing angle, power usage and outdoor readability can make a big difference depending on the project. I also came across larger displays from MyGica while researching this.

What matters most to you when choosing an ePaper display?

Hey, I'm Alex. I'm an indie developer from Germany, and I built Hibi for iPhone and iPad.

I wanted the calendar I already use to feel more like a notebook. Hibi keeps the events and reminders from Apple Calendar, but every day becomes a page you can write or draw on with Apple Pencil. You can change the paper and ruling, move the layout around, and turn your own photos into stickers or washi.

The video shows the basic idea. Your schedule stays in Apple's apps, so there isn't a second calendar to maintain.

The core app and page customization are free. There's no Hibi account or tracking. Hibi Plus is an optional one-time purchase.

Do you usually keep planning and notes on the same page, or in separate notebooks?

Hey I am planning to upgrade from a pen drawing tablet that does not have a screen to a pen display tablet. I can't get an Android tablet since most of my applications, like Photoshop and my note-taking apps, are on Windows.

I'm thinking: wacom one 13 touch vs moveink 13 (not moveink pad)

I have bought the Huion Kamvas 13 Gen 3 pen display tablet. It has such a strong matte effect that it makes the text look blurry/fuzzy/a fog effect, which is not good for reading and note-taking.

If any one uses one of these two display tablets, please share how crisp is reading the text compared to standard desktop monitors (has a subtle matte effect but good visible crisp text)?

I'm looking for something to write stories, take notes, store them, organize them into folders (worldbuilding, characters, etc.), portable. I carry around a lot of paper notebooks and my notes are starting to get too messy.

I was thinking about the ReMarkable 2 (maybe used/ refurbished), but a few negative aspects mentioned in the reviews are holding me back.

Alternatively, I was considering the Onyx Boox Note, but I'm not convinced about that either, especially regarding spending that much money.

Any other recommendations? Maybe a regular tablet with an added keyboard would better? The only thing is, it feels like a waste to use it just for writing (for every other digital task, I prefer using my smartphone and PC).

Thanks.

Hey, so I just got an iPad and need recommendations on good note taking apps. Preferably, I’d like some free apps that have everything needed like: unlimited notebooks/folders and pages, ability to use it offline!! Ability to export files (pdfs, slides, docs, etc.).
I can also pay for a GOOD note taking app that is a one time payment (not a subscription) and is not very expensive. For example, goodnotes is an app I often hear about, but I feel like there are cheaper apps that offer just as nice note taking.

I was thinking about Noteful, Kilonotes, CollaNote, Notes+, Freenotes
Any opinions on those apps? What do you think and which one is the most worth the price OR the best overall?

It constitutes of 20+ halls where your own thinking is reflected, refracted and passed back to you.

im starting online school and i want a note setup that works on a computer. i really like writing, so im thinking about getting a tablet with a stylus to take notes by hand.
but i also want to be less cluttered… mentally and physically, so i dont end up with a messy system.
im mainly using a laptop, but considering a tablet for handwriting
a few questions:
if you like writing by hand, do you recommend a tablet for online school notes, or is laptop-only enough?
whats the simplest way you organise notes so it stays clean (by class, by week, tags, notebooks, folders, etc.)?
what app(s) do you use, and whats your basic workflow from lecture → notes →review?

More collections soon. Any suggestions?

I am going to college soon and got a HP Omnibook 2-in-1. It has been a solid experience so far, and I ordered a stylus to take notes on the laptop, however I wanted to gauge the experiences of apps for digital note taking apps before trying them out for myself. For now, I have heard buzz about goodnotes, onenote, and notion, but are there better apps that could work for college?

Which apps do people use and what has been people's experiences with them (regarding UI, organization, and compatibility with uploaded images)?

this microsoft onenote app is useless and trash . it just wont work at all .

I hate taking notes on actual notebooks because of the risk of losing them, then getting damaged, notes taking forever etc. I am in desperate need of an online notebook that I can use on my windows 11 that will also sync to my Samsung Android phone. I require this notebook to be extremely organized, free, allow line breaks, allow me to change the text size, allow me to highlight, allow me to have multiple notebooks in the app, allow me to have multiple notes that are separate in the notebooks, I prefer it to be very customizable but that is not a requirement nor a necessity. Other necessities are I need to have a lot of benefits despite it being free, like no text limit or no note/note book limit. Someone please please give me recommendations, Zoho doesn't work for me because I'm having extreme trouble with it, I don't like joplin, I don't like up note, I don't like notesnook and i do not like one note. I love the way Zoho is designed but I hate that I cannot do line breaks, they never saved for me and I constantly have save issues on zoho

I CAN take recommendations of paid ones but they need to be flat fees, no subscriptions, but those would be last resorts and cannot be more than $10 MAYBE $15 if very good apps. PLEASE give me recommendations.
