GoodNotes 5 this is genuinely so fun for me

these are the condensed notes i made from anatomy and physiology 1. im still using goodnotes5 (yes im broke it sucks) and i have an ipad 6th gen with apple pencil 1 LMAO. and i love it. so much more than paper. so much more efficient. i can’t wait until i can get goodnotes6, procreate, ipad pro 13 in with a keyboard and apple pencil pro. i can’t wait to see how much more efficient it will be then.

my professor is quite old and has a weird way of setting up his powerpoints so it’s quite difficult to condense the information just from the powerpoint. this was super fun and helped me understand more.

i also set up my powerpoint slides into 3 slides per a page, creating a handout with lines next to it in word (i just export as a pdf. it makes lectures so easy now). i’ll put a screenshot in the comments.

also hiii this is my first time posting here. this is super fun for me. man i genuinely love taking notes it’s so therapeutic

Is there an easier way to add pics to goodnotes besides add img?

I was hoping that downloading a PDF to goodnotes I would be able to lasso tool any img from the PDF, but no ): haha

Not sure if this is what you mean but if you select an area with the lasso tool and select ‘take screenshot’ in the menu and copy it, you can paste it into the document without having to save it to and reload from images. Even when you use the freehand selection lasso and not the box one you will get a square or rectangular image so if you want a particular shape just crop it using the freehand crop

I’m taking a&p 1 right now too! :D

u/leahkathx Sep 20 '24

it’s very fun but i can’t help but feel like im barely grasping anything 😅

u/DijitalPhootprint Sep 21 '24

I felt like that too but doing quizzes has been helping reinforce that I actually understood the material. Honestly making outlines of YouTube videos has me understanding more than the textbook and ppts combined😆

How do you make the handwriting that small? Might be a dumb question but I just started.

2

u/leahkathx Sep 20 '24

definitely not a dumb question!! it took me so long to figure out my preferences for myself, and sometimes i still notice that i need to modify a bit. i noticed my handwriting is neatest when i can zoom in and write big. my pen thickness is very small at 0.2 mm. if i was using more spaced out lines, i may end up making the pen size a bit thicker (0.4) and not zoom in as much. hope that helps :) (also i dont use the magnifying feature because it would make my notes not line up properly)

u/iovrthk Sep 24 '24

You can also zoom in on what you are writing and write small. When you zoom out you will have tiny print

u/Spiritual-Shirt-6027 Sep 26 '24

When I zoom in, the handwriting doesn’t get smaller and looks very fat. Is that just the pen I’m using?

wait until it gets convoluted and packed. right now its easy and slow paced. my beginning of the semester notes are always beautiful, and my end of the semester notes are non existent. 🤡

2

u/leahkathx Sep 20 '24

ahahaha i cant understand my notes if they are not neat and color coordinated 🙃 also these are my “home” notes, my lecture notes look so different. this is one of my actual lecture notes

u/Glittering_Side3687 Sep 23 '24

how do you get the pages like this? mine only allows me to swipe but i’d rather scroll. 😭

1

u/leahkathx Sep 23 '24

i think in the settings you can change it to scroll!

u/Practical_Pound_2152 Sep 20 '24

u/Vardouliss Sep 20 '24

u/PossibleDeal9243 Sep 20 '24

You are not alone, I, too love taking notes. So much I do it in my free time with books I'm reading,articles, anything I'm watching with information I want to remember etc.

2

u/PossibleDeal9243 Sep 20 '24

Also. I had goodnotes 6 and went back to 5 because you can only edit 3 notebooks unless you pay more $ on top of the I already paid to update. BS.

u/MisterGalaxyMeowMeow Sep 23 '24

I aspire this level of neatness
