      Yeah, I don’t think that’s even possible, the Apple Pencil tip is plastic, the screen of the iPad is glass, plastic doesn’t scratch glass unless you apply abnormal pressure to it, even then it’s more likely to see the tip of the Apple Pencil receiving damage rather than the screen of the device, don’t really get where they got that idea from.

    One feature in Notability that I find to be super important, is the recording feature. As someone with ADHD, it is almost essential to be able to reference the audio if you happen to space out during the meeting, presentation, webinar, etc.
    I have also worn down the tip of my Apple Pencil and it did scratch my iPad screen. PaperLike rules! 🤘🐬

I used One Note before on my old tablet but it didn't connect to the Internet one day and I didn't have autosave on so I lost two classes worth of notes. I've been scarred ever since that day and only used handwritten notes. I think I might be ready for digital notes again. I got a hand cramp last semester because I switch pens and pencils for different colors and styles in my handwritten notes.

    I agree with you regarding Apple Notes. However, I don’t understand why everyone overlooks Zoom Notes when reviewing note taking apps. While Zoom Notes has a fairly steep learning curve, it’s versatility and functionality is unmatched, especially for the price which is a very reasonable one time purchase with regular updates by the developer. I stopped using Notability when it became subscription based. I just can’t justify so many subscriptions. I’ve been using Evernote for years but am finding it clunky and slow, too high priced for less functionality, so have been looking for a better alternative, possibly Notion. But in y he mean time am using Apple Notes to collect clips, links, images and such. BTW fully functional One Note is completely free, no subscription to Microsoft 365 needed and its whiteboard layout is infinite.

    The Apple Notes app has been disappointing me consistently. It has lost the ease of navigation, does not allow you to separate out pages, can't zoom in on specific writings (or infinite canvas for that matter). And now with the iPadOS 16 update, has been lagging horrendously. Writing using a pencil is practically unusable now as the strokes literally appear seconds after you move on to a different portion.
