Now I just need to learn how to transfer my Evernote notes (5 years) to Apple Notes. In fact, with this video, I learned that it has enough features to replace Evernote. Thank you!
You share a lot of great information, however, I am new to iPhone and so I try to take notes. That way I can go back and practice. When you go so fast, it’s really hard to do that.
The fact I had watched every iOS tips and tricks video, watched every beta update video, every feature wishlist video, and I still didn't realize that tags or smart folders were a thing. This is super useful, especially since I've been starting to use the default Notes app a lot more. Thanks! I guess I missed out on a lot of features as I haven't been paying too much attention to iOS videos and articles for a while now.
I just bought an iPad Pro and started to use apple notes across my iPad iPhone and iMac. I’ve been using notes more and more and with your tips on folders, hashtags, scanning and printing, I just got an amazing productivity boost! I subscribed and will come back to your channel as I work your tips into my daily productivity routine. Thanks!
I have been using apple notes for quite a while and the more Apple improves this app the less I rely on other note apps. I do wish my old iPhone 7+ would do the scan to text thing but it only works on newer phones, guess it’s time to finally upgrade! Thank you for a well organized and informative overview with the many wonderful features this app has to offer. I’m all in on apple and impressed by your knowledge and delivery. Thank you for your informative video!
Al the vids and readings in the course I’m doing tells me I must do more, work harder, do stuff I’m not good at. It’s really stressful. Permission to detach is just what I needed to hear. Thank-you.
I have had an iPad mini for 4 years and had no idea notes was even there, let alone so useful. Now I have just bought an iPhone, I can see some fantastic advantages. Thank you.
I mostly use Notes for scanning receipts, but I didn’t realize Notes has so many functions or uses. I appreciate the time it took for you to record this video. The only downside is that you went so fast through each tip, I kept backing up the video trying to see how you accomplished the previous tip. Otherwise, super cool information. Thanks 🙏🏼
@@chaskinsnc I only scan a single Receipt at a time with Notes. But I suppose you could place several receipts together and scan them as one item. Give it a try.
In the beginning, I never used to like Apple notes. but the more I played with it and more videos that I watched regarding it it’s actually turned out to be a valuable asset for me taking notes, pictures, documenting videos, things to remember, etc. etc.
Thank you for a) getting to the point quickly, b) aligning the content with the video title, and c) including fantastic tips. And you waited until AFTER doing so before asking for a like. That's an instant like. Well done.
Great stuff! Thanks. It would be very useful if notes had a way to retroactively sort and organise in the ways that you have described. I have over 10 years of unsorted notes history.
OMG! I've been an avid Apple Notes user for the longest, yet somehow I didn't know about 90% of these tips, especially the fact that you can create separate folders - I mean, talk about a game changer! Thank you SOOO much. I may have stumbled across your video while looking for screen mirroring app reviews, but either way, you've gained a new subscriber! 😃
Great tips, thank you. One thing that would speed up the process shown at 8:45 is that you can simply swipe down the list with two fingers to select multiple items. That works with any default iOS list-view in other apps, too.
Hey Peter, another superlative video. This has become my go to app for notes. Ever since Apple improved the functionality this app makes more sense to use than any other third-party apps. I hope the new iOS this year Apple enhances this even more.
Worth mentioning (in case no one did already) adding hashtags to notes makes it unavailable on older versions of the Notes app, so if your Mac is still running Big Sur and doesn’t qualify to upgrade to Monterey you won’t be able to see notes with tags in them
Is that to say that it will not show up within a smart note feature or that the note will no longer show up within the general library of notes at all?
@@richeyrich2203 the note used to disappear entirely from any version of Notes that didn't support tags. with enough complaining it got fixed so notes with tags show up again (confirmed on 11.6.6) but you don't get the organisational features on Big Sur, they just show up as plain text.
To be honest, I didn’t expect much from this vid before watching. But I learn so much from this vid. Really great tips vid, man. 👏👏👏 I can’t believe you don’t have that many subscribers.
Seriously 😳 I am only half way through the video and I am absolutely flabbergasted as to how many functions NOTES has 🤩. I use Notes, but totally had no idea of 90% of what you covered..so a HUGE THANK YOU 🙏🏼 for bringing this to mine and everyone’s attention. Awesome 👏😎🤩👍🙏🏼🤝✊👊 Now I watch the rest 😂😂👍 and naturally I have liked and subscribed 👍 Will definitely watch more of your videos, I always like to learn new things Apple related, only problem I have, as soon as I read or watched something..I forget it just as fast 🥴😂 Nevertheless roughly 10-20% stay’s somewhere up there 😅. More reason to keep watching 😂
Very helpful and well paced (well said "Im so offended"). I have used the apps Evernote, Todo, Notion, various Kanban inspired software including Trello, created my own Kanban hack using MS Word and Excel, and Post-IT. Seems like these all make me more OCD. It's the equivalent to labeling the label maker 🙂 This Notes tutorial has been very helpful.
Wow! All great tips, and you are so fluent! That VERY LAST one - opening iCloud Notes on a PC - is HUGE! Something I need and was looking for, but I never discovered! Sweeeeet!!! Thank you!
Hi Peter - Very informative video. However, it would be great if you were to use an on-screen pointer to indicate where the various function buttons you access can be found. Another useful reminder would be not to speak the entire “Hey Siri” phrase and turn on all of your viewers’ Siri assistants. Will checkout other helpful videos you post. Thanks.
@@BigMtnDecals exactly, it’s the reason why my daughter is able to say “Hey Siri” and my phone thinks it’s me😂 and doesn’t do anything with anyone else.
One thing is missing for me is adding hashtags directly when sharing to notes. I always have to come back to the notes app for them to be considered as hashtags.
Peter, that’s a great video. I’d made the switch to Notes from other apps, but your video encapsulates all that I need to up my note use. A question : when you scanned the document and it auto generated a PDF, could you have opted to get straight text? I realise that it is searchable as you demonstrated, but it’d be nice to get the straight text. Thanks!
I wonder what percentage of Apple’s capabilities I am actually using… All i can say is that I am grateful for videos like yours to keep upgrading my knowledge. Thank You 👍
Apple apps are honestly great unfortunately some “popular” features are somewhat hidden within the app. But I truly love them not sure why so many hate them or simply don’t try them out I think it’s just an esthetic thing having a more modern look app and having to use it before possibly using notes or the new and improved notes.
I’ve been using Notes app for 10+ years. I love it! Many of these features I’ve been using but some of these I never understood, like how to use the hashtag feature. This is a game changer for me! Thanks for sharing this!!
I use One Note as we are are a Windows Shop but really want to use Notes. Is there a way to quickly capture receipts during my sales travels and then output all receipts for that month to a PDF? I only see that I can place one image to a page creating too many pages. I am trying to eliminate my paid apps.
@@chaskinsnc Hey Chuck. No, I don’t think you could do that in one go. You’d either have to scan all the receipts at once, so Apple Notes would create one PDF of them, or export all the PDFs from Apple Notes and then combine the separate PDFs into one big PDF.
@@JonathanClayton1 Craft is really pretty and I’m glad it exists. But I don’t like the block editing (Notion-style). Feels messy. Scanning documents isn’t as nice as it is in Apple Notes. And you can’t lock notes (as least as far as I know), which is a dealbreaker for me.
That was very helpful. I just scanned my vaccine records for when I go to Italy in July. Glad I came across you. I use notes all the time, but there was so much I didn't know.
Awesome video. I didn't like using Apple Notes but with this video changed it... I think Apple Notes is more than enough more most of the users and there's no need to use or pay for another notes app. Thank you for the tips... 😊
Very very useful features and extremely nicely explained with ease of understanding. Also the way you talk is fluent so everyone can comprehend. Knowledge is power and you’re doing good by sharing it.
Wow! I use Notes extensively, and I didn’t know it could do half of this! Thanks a lot. I can now delete a bunch of 3rd party apps I don’t need. Great video!!
You are definitely one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve seen with Apples Notes App. I have a doozy of a question for you, or anyone else that may have experienced this. When I write/update older notes on my devices (both iPhone or iPad) some of my notes have an issue where the text/lines/shapes etc. (anything I write) will shift 2-3mm down the page. This makes using Notes SUPER FRUSTRATING and nearly impossible when you’re trying to make things write to an exact part of a note. Anyone else have anything else like this happen?
well done video, lots of very helpful infos, BUT I wish that one could actually see (arrow, dot) where you tap not just saying it... and slowing down a bit would be helpful as well... thx

Same with me, still subbed to Evernote, but would like to move that over as well!
I’ve used Evernote since 2008 and recently migrated to Apple Notes and haven’t looked back!
I dropped Evernote a few years ago. Don’t miss it.
I used to love to use it with the moleskins notebooks, but they dropped that feature long ago.
@Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him 🤨🧐🤔

This is a game changer!
Thank you!

Mind blown at #1 already!!! I’ve got 600+ notes in “notes”. Didn’t realize I could create folders !!
😜😆😆😆😊🤣 me too
Good Lord this was the most well-paced informative video I’ve seen in a while. Not over produced either. Clean and straight to the point. New sub.
We’ll-paced? To me, it felt like an avalanche.
@@FlaschDJ well I was on adderall at the time soooo….
@Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him read “The Passover Plot”.
Agreed, job well done Peter
completely agree. well-paced informative
I didn’t realise how flexible this app is. I’m definitely going to explore the options and rearrange my notes. Thanks, Peter.
For someone who's practicing minimalism: scanning is the most helpful! i used to pay yearly for an app but now I have this. so great!
I watch a lot tutorial videos and this is easily one of the best I’ve seen. Outstanding video Peter! Thank you.

I agree. The video runs much too fast. It's not very useful to the new "Notes" user like me.

Slow down some of us can’t follow when you run through like it is a marathon.
Decrease the speech speed in settings
Actually a marathon is the slow one, a sprint or a dash is the fast kind ; )
In my current tech refresh I went all Apple so this video is very helpful. I am amazed at how powerful Apple apps are. Great video. Sub earned!
Literally one of the most useful videos on TH-cam!! Some of these I already knew, but a lot of them I had no clue!! Thanks man!!
One of the absolute best tips TH-cam vids I’ve ever watched. Well presented, too
Awesome Notes tips. Convinced me to start using Notes again rather than paying to use Notions to track things that can easily be done in Notes. 👍🏾
Much needed info, really needed to know. Why you can’t lock all notes now?
I just switched from Android to iOS. These kinds of next level features are what make iphones real definition of smartphone 👌
I really love your vid, I am a Apple notes fan since 2 years ago, today I learned about the scan docs that I really love the idea
