iPad notes

[New World Explorer]

What app do you use to take notes on your iPad ?

I need good and visually pleasant app to take notes at the meetings

Any recommendation ?

Another question... How do you keep your Return Visits organised ?

[bohemian]

For note taking I use Notability (it does audio recording simultaneously as you make notes). I have Equipd open at the Bible, and can easily switch apps, find the scripture, copy to clipboard, return to Notability and paste - often before the scripture has begun to be read.

For ministry and return visits I use Mytime app. It does what I need it to do.

Hope this helps.

I use Notes Plus that allow handwritten notes and audio recordings. Did so today with the circuit assembly.

Yep, I have checked the app ...looks interesting although need to fork out $12.99

Can you change paper background or is it just white ?

I also use Notability and Equipd for note taking. For RVs I use the Ministry Assistant app on Android.

They have a number of different backgrounds including lists and calendars in a variety of colors, not just white. Additionally, it uses a folders and notebook set up, so I have folders for each congregation meeting, along with folders for the CA and RC. Before the assemblies, I pre-enter the names of each talk so that I only need to take notes starting with the brother's name.

The only reason I bought this program, at a lower price since I've had it for years was because I like to write my notes out vs. typing them. If you plan to type, there are other choices that are free or less expensive.

I've included a sample of how it looks when I write my notes.

Wow! Neat handwriting! Do you use a stylus? I have tried several brands and types of stylus, and have bought just about all the handwriting apps, but my handwriting still looks like it was done by a 5 year old.

If I'm going to record a talk I do it in a separate device otherwise I get the sound of screen tapping in my recording—and that gets annoying.

I have been using Editorial and have created some scripts that let me quickly jump to Equipd, then back to Editorial. I can copy and paste scriptures with an embedded link back to Equipd in a matter of seconds.

Just lately I've been trialling Drafts. It's not as functional as Editorial but I can use it as a fast "catch-all" note taker. I have some scripts that let me send Draft notes to a specific Evernote folder, or to Day One. It's great for talks, as well as noting announcements, or short notes when out in Field Service, etc.

I use a relatively inexpensive stylus called Musemee Notier V2. Here's the link on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Musemee-Notier-V2-Gray-Precision/dp/B00CA65AR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414287900&sr=8-1&keywords=Musemee

There are more expensive options but this works perfectly for me.

Is there an option for a keyboard if you don't want to use stylus ?

REGIONAL CONVENTION 2014

Meet Some Who Are Seeking First The Kingdom

Matthew 6:33 "Keep on then seeking first the Kingdom......all these things will be added to you.

The Kingdom has been ruling for 100 yrs

Revelation 12:1-2 " A great sign in heaven......women, pregnant agony to give birth."

This women is Gods orginization in heaven. Crying out to give birth. Hard work.

Verse 3-4 " Another sign seen in heaven......fire dragon "

Satan wants to devour the child but Jehovah does not allow it. '

Matthew 24:7 " all these things a beginning of pangs of distress".

World is a mess .....God's Kingdom has begun it's rule.

Daniel establishes where we are in the stream of time.

Daniel 2:44-45 " Days of those kings.....kingdom never destroyed"

I just use Notes with an attached keyboard just for my Conventions. It fits on to my iPad and I set it on my knee and can take notes like the wind....... Above is a sample of the RC Notes.

Sure you can type your notes but there are cheaper options than Notes Plus. I specifically wanted to be able to capture handwritten notes, hence the purchase as there are few apps that truly capture handwritten notes.

I use Notability and bamboopaper app.

Both of them are very useful but I prefer the latter one.

This is an example of my note on bamboopaper, in Japanese, though.

[Aya]

I also use my hand-made stylus pen with those apps.

It is very easy to make and so cheap.

I have an expensive one but it's not as easy as the hand-made one to write with.

A Japanese group? Great! Are there many Japanese in your territory?

I've made my pen watching this YouTube movie.

I'm using potato chips packages, so far.

I have heard that there are lot of Japanese in Singapore, and it's great that you have a congregation, really nice.

Yes, of course. You can use it on your smartphone, too.

If you have a Samsung tablet or phone you can use your finger to write and it will OCR the writing to text.

You just need to hold down on the T icon to the left of the space bar and select the T icon to open the writing space.

This works on my Samsung Note 2 phone and Tab Pro 8.4 tablet.

Sadly, I'm using Xiaomi mi pad, not samsung, and what is OCR? And, where is the T icon?

Anyway, I have an installed application to take notes on my LG smartphone and yes, I can use my finger to write... But, I'm afraid my index finger is not as precise as stylus pen... It's kind of another frustation...
