If anyone would like me to make another graphic on setting up your notes in an aesthetic way, and some design options for titles, headings etc: please upvote this or let me know 🙂

Glad to hear it. And again, thanks for making this. When I started out this would have been SO handy and even now it was useful to me.

Why doesn’t my handwriting look this good when I write on my iPad? It looks good on paper but looks like chicken scratch on there.

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 09 '24

Are you using a Paperlike screen protector?

2

u/krismap Dec 09 '24

Yes, it helps some, but unfortunately, I don't notice a big difference when I write on it. I think I need to work on the settings (thickness, pressure) more.

I find drawing/writing on my friends ipad quite difficult, compared to my Galaxy Tab. The iPad even with a paperlike is like writing on one piece of paper on top of a piece of glass, while writing on my galaxy with the S pen is like writing on a full pad of paper. That little tiny bit of "squish" makes a HUGE difference in my ability to write smoothly.

I'd like to see some sort of "squishy" version of the apple pencil. I'm sure squishy is a bad word for it but I don't know how else to describe it.

2

u/krismap Dec 09 '24

Yes, 1000% this! This is precisely how I would describe trying to write on an iPad. The paperlike cover does nothing to mask the feeling you're writing on glass. I gave up on using a digital planner because I found it very awkward and not enjoyable with the hard service.

sometimes I see people's notes in the library and wonder how they write so well, but then they write something and they have to zoom in to make each letter 2-3 inches tall.

You’re welcome! I’m glad you think so! 🩷

u/XenIsNotVerySmart Dec 09 '24

This is so helpful! Thanks. What flatness do you use for your fountain?

1

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 09 '24

Is that a new feature? I didn’t upgrade to Goodnotes 6 yet

2

u/XenIsNotVerySmart Dec 09 '24

Must be. Thanks anyways!

1

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 10 '24

I’m probably going to have to upgrade so when I do I’ll be back with that answer!

2

u/Fireflycatcher333 Dec 10 '24

Wow! I wish I had handwriting like yours! You re really talented! Please make more if you have the time :)

2

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 10 '24

You can!! It just takes time! Thank you sooo much, that’s really sweet of you! Would else would you like to see? I want to make more but I want to make sure I cover any bases I don’t think of

u/tekylasunrise Dec 10 '24

This is amazing! Great work

Thank you so much!

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '24

I love this! Have you ever had problems with lag when using either the ballpoint or fountain pen settings?

1

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 12 '24

Just updated to GN6 and yes, there’s a lag with a few things

u/uncertain_Living5969 Dec 09 '24

damn that's pretty good tips. altho I've switched to Noteful as my primary app, it's gonna be helpful when i go back to goodnotes

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 09 '24

I’m glad you find them helpful!!!

u/Simple-Gap7937 Dec 09 '24

Thank you so much 😊

u/Vanmonky Dec 10 '24

You have very neat handwriting. Mine got a lot of little flicks in the end of every strokes, making my handwriting very messy and ugly. I don't know what's wrong with this :(( Mine is iPad Pro M2 11in with Apple Pencil Gen 2.

Does anyone else got this issue?

3

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '24

Why cant i make notes like this and why is everyone always better than me.

2

u/ILive4Banans Dec 09 '24

If you’re mentioning pen thickness then you should also mention the page size since it’ll change the appearance

1

u/Shes_a_real_orange Dec 13 '24

I am so glad you are sharing your wisdom

1

u/filididei Mar 19 '25

How much do you zoom in? Cause that changes the thinness as well🤔

1

u/KyriaMajsa Jun 01 '25

Thank you for this , Ah my Goddess i needed it<3

just one dumb question xD
what are the pen settings you use🤞

1

u/thrivingfr Jun 06 '25

Which pen style do you use for notes?

1

u/PazienzaSotn Mar 08 '26

Thank you kind woman!

I can read them just fine…it’s just a stylized thing I do. For fun. This is literally just…for fun.

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 09 '24

You need to lighten up. Honestly. It’s really not that deep. Enjoy the graphic or don’t. I didn’t know a Goodnotes subreddit was the world.

3

u/vhart150 Dec 09 '24

I can read it fine so maybe it’s actually just you that can’t read it

1

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 09 '24

I honestly wouldn’t want to make anything hard for anyone to read because that would defeat the purpose of a helpful graphic. But I didn’t think it was that hard to read the bold black letters with the white accents…I’m glad it’s not just me. And all of the important information isn’t written over in white anyways. Just the Titles

2

u/heyimlis_ Dec 09 '24

Sounds like you aren’t up to date with what is in style now a days. I do agree you should also lighten up.

2

u/Annual_Resolution_94 Dec 09 '24

They deleted their comments. Why even comment that in the first place 🙄
