    So how much do you / would you actually use the apple pencil? 👇 I think it's the tool that makes the iPad worth the sizeable purchase price! Enjoy! 🔔The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/bettercreating10221

      I download a lot of language books in PDF form and use the pencil to work through them. It's been a great way to study.

      Great video. Super helpful. However, after watching what I think are all you iPad videos, and then some, I still don’t know how to use the pencil correctly to take notes. Specifically on how to make edits to text. It does not seem to be as easy as it should be. Thank you.

    I bought the iPad 12.9 and decided to grab the pencil as well. This was in Oct 2022 😂 I am just now looking up this video to help me use it. I forgot about it until I “found” it again. This video was very helpful.

    Just subscribed to this channel due to being gifted an M1 iPad Pro 11 inch this past Christmas. I never thought I will buy one or even own one. Been playing around with it and is blown away by its capabilities. I have to admit that I'm impressed with it. Glad that I found this channel and subscribed, because I will be coming to this channel to pick up new tips and master this iPadOS on my new iPad Pro. Thanks for great video.

    I’m with many commenters on here this has changed the way I use my iPad from a simple watch/read device to a powerful laptop ( but more portable). I now use this rather than my MacBook Pro which has been changed for a MacMini with a M2 Pro. I’m now working through your other videos.
    You may have seen it but I watched your Apple Pencil video a few weeks after I purchased a Paperlike screen protector - the feel of the pencil on a screen with this cover - its fabulous ( I am just an evangelical customer )

Even if I use my finger or the trackpad on the keyboard, it does not respond until I either hit done and attempt to type again or close the app out. Thanks

    Great tip for screenshooting full pages to fill out. I’m having a issue doing it though my pencil seems to want to scroll the page down each time I want to fill out a new box? Is this because it’s a cheap alternative to the Apple Pencil. It’s the Eip pro pencil and has been really good for everything else 😅

Also, what folio do you have for your iPad and does it come with a keyboard? I ask because I am looking for a good folio that will last. As well I did have another questions can you do a video on how the best way to hold an iPad when writing, drawing…etc?

      If you're talking about using a cursive font throughout the iPad, for all your apps, that’s not possible right now, I think.. but if you’re alright with doing that only for specific note taking apps, there’s a tutorial I can link here. With that, You can open a text box with the font you want, and use the Apple Pencil to scribble in that, and it’ll automatically turn into your selected font. I do this in GoodNotes all the time with a "handwritten font" to make it more journal like 😂

    I wish there was a kind of „find my pencil“. I don‘t remember where put mine…. It’s somewhere, it must be, but where ?? 😢

    How close is the Apple Pencil on an iPad "touch&feel" experience to that of pen/pencil on paper?

    I was hoping to dictate my book and edit with the pencil. Is this possible?

    Idk how people can take such good handwriting without hurting their hands, I find that impossible to do.
