Tough call: I lived off my iPad Pro 12.9 inch for 2 years fully and it was excellent. But it is different and certain file and app use will be limited to iOS versions. I’ve just gone for the MacBook Pro 14 as I just needed to move things like video editing, diagnose work and Notion template development onto a desktop machine. If all you do is consume content, write, take notes, do a bit of creative design work it’s a fantastic option - for more heavy spreadsheet work, higher end video work or publishing stuff - I’ve gone to a MacBook. Good luck! Thanks for watching.

An iPad is awesome for note taking, reading, organisation...But nothing will change the quickness, the installation of programs, the hability of having 2 screens...If you do not use specialised software, don't mind going a bit slow and think that 64 or 256gb are enough, then go for it. If not, buy a pc. Hope this was useful!

FilmicPro and Lumifusion are great combination for shooting, editing and uploading video all on the same platform. I started doing that on my 1080p iPad3 with iMovie back in 2012 and was blown away by the quality of the video, automatic control of the color balance and even the sound with just the built in mic. Audience response to videos was so much better compared to the still photos I would shoot, painstakingly edit in Photoshop and post on my web site I pretty much stopped using my Canon DSRL gear and my iMac. In 2018 upgraded an iPadPro3 with Lumifusion and FilmicPro. I also bought a GoPro Hero7 Black but found it far more work to transfer and color grade. After upgrading to an iPhoneXr for shooting on the go I shelved the GoPro and conveniently Airdrop files shot on phone to iPad for editing using Airdrop.

Power up Todoist by syncing it to gcal and sending those notes to Evernote with IFTTT. My workflow is “quick thoughts or ideas go in Todoist, it gets synced to Evernote. Evernote is fully featured and I could just use that, but I also have IFTTT to sync notes I tag as “work” in Evernote get sent to OmniFocus 3, because I like it better for work tasks. Evernote is my life organizer and OmniFocus is my work organizer.

It’s interesting to see language evolve. It’s seems quite common now to use the word software in a singular and plural form instead of uncountable. At first it was just non-native English speakers, but now it seems increasingly common to hear “a software” or “softwares” used by native speakers. My guess is because “app” or “application” is a countable noun and has always been that way, people just tend to swap in the uncountable noun “software” without thinking about it and end up using it the same way.

@SuperManning11 Жыл бұрын

Very astute observation, and I would bet you are correct about the comparison of the word software to the countable nature of apps. As I have moved away from my laptop to nearly exclusively using my iPad, I rarely even come across the word ‘software’ in any context, whether traditionally countable or not.

Simon, what about Ms office.? How does MS office works on iPad. And is MS office a paid app on iPad?

Bought an ipad pro 2 solely for GarageBand (was solely a PC user lifelong until then). It sidestepped many music creation issues of a technical nature, and enabled my ‘problems’ to mostly be musical ones! There is a shedload of music apps now, and then there’s Lumafusion of course. Really, Cubasis and GarageBand makes the Pro 2 worth the £700 I spent on their own. It’s the latest one with a 3.5mm socket of course. Surely it will return? A £400 Mac Mini has one, doesn’t it? Thanks.

thanks for sharing - yeah - its totally underrated as a portable recoding studio with the right mic set up. Nice. I'm doubtful they will add the 3.5 jack again thou! :(

Subscribed and Liked, Just bought my first iPad ever yesterday. I've been a solid Android user so I don't know any of these. I'm currently running on Google Pixel 6 for my main phone. I can't wait to learn more about iPad on your channel. Thanks!

What iPad did you get and what do you think about it? I am also planning to get a tablet/iPad for note taking in university. I have never had an iPad or an iPhone before so I don't know how my experience will be with iOS and iPad OS, so what do you think about the Software?

@jamesdempsey6406 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Dastan , I just got the base model. iPad 9th generation working great for me so far. I'm imagine as I progress in the iPad world, I'll end up getting a pro at some point, but this one seems totally sufficient for note-taking.

PDF expert is amazing. It has been one of my core app’s for work. Ticktick is a super todo list and it is very underrated. Ferrite ( i think that i saw that you have that on in your video). Great audio editor that supports AUv3 third party sound plug-ins. Pixelmator. I just love it for its power and simplicity Drambo is one fir the music creators. A modular groovebox

Love the video and apps available. One downside is that the Books highlighting and exporting doesn’t seem to work any more, but I'm guessing that's not your fault!. But love the presentation of the video and your thoughts. Keep it up.

@Better Creating how do you do the custom app logos and someone pls don't tell me I have to make a shortcut for all of them

@BetterCreating 2 жыл бұрын

Haha - well, yes and no! I found two options. One is build a shortcut for each! That said - it’s a great way to really minimise the apps you really actually need! I deleted around 60 % of my apps after doing this. :). The other is using an app that helps and makes it faster. Here’s the shortcuts route (beat tutorial for understanding this in apple ) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNOSacZ-27eVZ58.html here’s the app route: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ituYks2HyLPZYWQ.html

Excellent video, thank you. And now I’ve discovered your channel, thank you for that too. I have a question that I’ve not been able to find an answer to in your channel, or anywhere else. Apologies if I’ve missed it. The question: is there a single app for iPad that allows you to take written (Apple pencil) notes but also has the ability to set to-do tasks without leaving the app? In a side-bar? That links to your iCal? Is there such a thing? Thank again.
