iPad Pro Notability and Professional Digital Planner

This is just like having the paper Franklin Covey - write down your to-dos, appointments and the right page for note taking. What it won’t do is provide an alarm for a meeting. What’s better than the paper Franklin Covey is that the hyperlinks work between monthly, weekly and daily views. Also, really like that you can do a search of your handwriting. I.e if you are looking for meeting notes for Damien Groton, you can just search the name. That was my downside of the paper Franklin Covey having to flip through pages to find specific notes.

If you make any notes for a particular day in one view (monthly, weekly, daily) does it automatically appear in the other views?

For example: If I put "mail tax returns" in the 4/15 box of the monthly view, will it show up in the 4/15 of the weekly view and daily page (for 4/15)?

All of the other PDF-based planners I've tried don't allow for that capability. I find that limitation to cause confusion because of a lack of synchronization between views.

That would be nice but no it doesn’t populate in the other views automatically.

With the pencil capability, you would think there would be a totally automated planner app that also uses the pencil.

Thanks. That's what I suspected. That is one of the reasons why I don't use any of those attempts at a full DayPlanner... not only are there deficiencies in the functionality that makes it confusing, the file sizes are massive and can slow non-Pro iPads.

You're right, there SHOULD be something like Lotus Organizer (from back in the day) that supports the Pencil. I expect that we'll see one soon now that every currently marketed iPad supports a Pencil (1 or 2)

I’ve been a Franklin Covey Planner user from way back and always loved the hands on writing and ability to take notes and have them show in a particular day. I worked in HR and these notes would come in handy referring back to them. However, the only drawback was flipping through a hard copy paper binder to find what I was looking for. Then along came a bunch of planner type apps which included the ability to search the text. But alas the note taking was always kind of weird in a meeting when having to type.

Then along came Notability and Franklin Covey type planner pdfs that combine the whole hands on handwriting but also have the ability to search the handwriting. I purchased the planner pdf from Professional Digital Planner on Etsy and now I have the best of all worlds - Franklin Covey type handwriting system under Notability with search ability. Love it.

Just wanted to share.
