I am a girl who loves a good checklist. Checking off a task or crossing it off is the best feeling because it makes me feel so accomplished! Every year I buy a planner to chart the year's events and hold appointment times.
For Christmas this year, my husband got me an iPad, keyboard, and Apple pencil to my surprise. I researched and talked with my peers about apps that would be beneficial for me for working, events, and going to school.
I came across an app named "Notability" and I have been so impressed by all the capabilities it holds. First, it has a gallery of templates that you can choose from monthly, weekly, and daily planners to a plethora of templates of lists as well as notes. You can organize your notes and make folders within the app and color code your folders so that they are visually appealing. Exporting and sharing your notes, lists, and planners that you create is easy and convenient.
Writing using the Apple pencil is as close to paper and pen because I put a scene protector on my iPad that has a matte finish so the pencil glides a bit slower when using it. You can write thick or thin, highlight, and use the eraser function as well as other features that are user-friendly. The Notability app also has coloring sheets that have been a fun and relaxing activity to do as well. The overall ease of the app makes it appealing to me without being overwhelming to use. I am excited to explore the other many features it holds!
Hey Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI also love using checklists. I have daily, weekly, and monthly goals that I try to meet. I will have to check out Notability. I am more than happy to find ways to replace my current method, as it requires a lot of paper. I wanted to ask if the app costed anything? If it does, what does the paid version add?
The app cost me about $15.00 a year which I think is very reasonable because of all you can do with it.
DeleteI have always wondered about tablets and their capability for note-taking. I am a pen and paper type of person; it aids in solidifying information in my mind. I have been concerned that using a tablet may not provide the same experience. However, it seems that the Notability app with the apple pen offers a great solution to maintain the pen and paper sensation while also enhancing organization. Additionally, the convenience of saving paper is a significant advantage. I'll have to check this out in the future!
