Digital planning on the iPad is a wonderful way to stay organized and creative on the go. With a few clever tips, you can transform your iPad into a seamless planning tool that caters to your every need. Let’s explore these essential iPad tips that will make your digital planning experience smooth, fun, and productive.
1. Say Goodbye to Messy Handwriting
Nothing disrupts the flow of digital planning like struggling with messy handwriting. Luckily, the iPad’s Scribble feature is here to help. By enabling Scribble in the settings, you can quickly transform handwritten text into neat digital text—ideal for anyone who wants to keep their notes tidy and legible. To activate Scribble, head to Settings > Apple Pencil, and toggle Scribble on.
You can even download your own font of choice through a free font site like Dafont, and the iFont app. Now, no matter your handwriting style, your notes will be easy to read and organized.
2. Double-Tap to Undo
Made a mistake? There’s no need to fumble with erasers or backspaces. With the double-tap to undo gesture, you can instantly undo your last action, making it quick and easy to correct any slip-ups. This trick is a lifesaver for any busy digital planner who wants to keep moving forward without missing a beat.
3. Customize Your Pages by Importing Stickers
Personalize your planner by importing images, digital stickers, or using our exclusive free sticker pack that comes with every Stargazer 2025 Digital Planner order! Importing images and stickers can add a unique touch to each page, making your planner feel truly your own.
4. Maximize Your Screen Space with Split View
Make digital planning even more efficient by using the Split View feature, which allows you to have two apps open side by side. This is especially useful if you’re referencing a to-do list or calendar while jotting down notes. To activate Split View, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Dock, then drag the second app you want to open to either side of your screen. With Split View, you can boost productivity and save time by eliminating the need to switch between apps.
5. Troubleshoot Hyperlinks in GoodNotes with ‘View’ Mode
If you’re using hyperlinks in GoodNotes and find that they’re not working, don’t worry! The solution is simple: just switch to View mode. Hyperlinks only function in View mode, so make sure to switch over from Edit mode when you want to navigate between sections or access external links. This small tip can save you from unnecessary frustration and keeps your planning flow uninterrupted.
