    I tried exporting my study notes that's already in image file format to many available apps such as (One Note, Bear, Notion, Notebook) and none of them worked well for editing my image format notes using the pencil though these apps are majorly designed for "taking notes only". So is Apple Books which is developed only for reading purposes and surprisingly I came to know about other additional perks of this app where it could convert an image file into a readable book in seconds with simplistic gorgeous design interface.

    Each and every apps out there had it's own flaw except for the "Apple Books" that worked like a charm. Let me know if you guys have had any good experience with Apple Books and is there any other app that is worth considering?

    Elderly mother with eye issues got an iPad - I am family tech support but unfamiliar with Apple products... help!

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:54 AM PST

    Sorry for the rather begging nature of this. As I described in the title, my mum who has bad eyesight due to a degenerative disease (a rather slow one, thankfully) recently got an iPad as she was finding her Motorola/Android phone too small to see properly. I work in IT as a system admin so I like to think I'm pretty "good with computers" but it's Windows and Android/Chrome OS both at work and home so my exposure to Macs and iOS is minimal.

    Anyway, sorry for the preamble, there are two areas that we're finding difficult that I'm hoping can be solved:

    1) WhatsApp. She uses WhatsApp a lot and the lack of an official iPad app meant I set her up with a web.whatsapp.com tab in her Chrome browser. However it seems to need reauthentication really quickly, sometimes within a couple of minutes. This involves getting her phone out and scanning a QR code etc which at the age of 78 is a bit too fiddly. How do other people deal with this? Are there any trustworthy apps that help with accessing WhatsApp on iPads?

    2) Remote access. I would love to be able to remotely access and control her iPad but from what I've found only remote viewing seems possible... Is this right?

    Thanks for sticking with this.

    Is there a way to install Apple Fonts on iPad?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 11:23 AM PST

    I have a document that uses Apple Fonts. Everytime I open it on Pages on my iPad, it shows me a disclaimer that tells it has missing fonts. I know I can install fonts on iPadOS through a profile but how does it work for Apple Fonts?

    Is charging Apple Pencil with the adapter supposed to be drastically slower than charging from the iPad?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 08:55 AM PST

    I tried an Apple 5W USB-A charger, Apple 12W USB-A charger, and Aukey 100W USB-C charger, and all charged the Apple Pencil extremely slowly... like 1% every couple minutes compared to around 6% per minute when plugged in to an iPad. I'm wondering if that's normal or if my adapter is defective.

    Update: Magnetic VESA Mount for iPad Pro. I used a 3D printed VESA Plate posted on Thingiverse, Scotch Extremely Strong Fasteners, and 3/8 in machine screws.

    iPad Pro - The future is now

    iPad Pro - The future is now

    https://preview.redd.it/c7lrdu8mk0961.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c02f62507c016770c08e9f3bcbc9554021304f2

    I've given this a little bit of thought and wanted to write a post with a bit of depth to how I use my iPad Pro, ideas for a better setup and what I would like in a newer version of iPad Pro.

    When the iPad Pro redesign was released in 2018 I had a difficult time choosing between the iPad or the new MacBook Air. I had my sights on the MacBook Air because I thought I would get more utility out of it. I was wrong..

    -THE SETUP-

    https://preview.redd.it/afxxyf15l0961.jpg?width=3564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73230b88bfe948c54c4e0558b1e7b15933c24bed

    I had the 2018 iPad Pro until I sold it to my girlfriend and upgraded to the new 2020, 12.9" iPad Pro. This is also the cellular model which I have AT&T cellular service attached to. Now, as of writing I do have the normal accessories such as the Magic Keyboard case and Apple Pencil. Another accessory I do use is my LG ultra-wide monitor that I plug my iPad into. Right now it's in the box in the closet since my work from home iMac takes up a majority of my desk space. You may be wondering why an ultra wide? Well.. I have an app for that!

    -FULL DESKTOP/SHADOW-

    https://preview.redd.it/gcpvmdcsk0961.jpg?width=2990&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a6155863aa78c9f9c3e62d9d11bec42f99fb8b1

    As I said before I had trouble choosing between the iPad Pro and the MacBook Air at the time. I wanted a full desktop with "Pro" apps. I now use this service called "Shadow" which is a Windows PC streaming service. It works beautifully on the iPad Pro, it takes advantage of the iPad Pro's native screen resolution and has full support for the Magic Keyboard Case. So, I have a desktop Windows computer that I can play my games(Destiny 2) or do photo/video editing almost anywhere there is an internet connection.

    Not only does Shadow work with the iPad Pro screen resolution but you can plug your iPad into a monitor or tv and have the iPad as the device receiving the PC stream at full resolution even on a massive 65" TV. This has been a game changer for when I want to play games like Destiny 2 on my living room TV with my DualShock 4 controller with maxed out graphics settings. Then when I'm done I just grab my iPad and go!

    Here are some tiny details that I've found when experimenting throughout the years with Shadow.

    1. You can do PiP on the iPad while you are using Shadow. You can't do this with services like GeForce Now or Stadia.
    2. Shadow works fairly well with 2 bars of AT&T LTE service in the congested part of the city I live in without too many issues. There can be choppiness every few minutes for a second or two but overall it has been pretty great.
    3. The Shadow Beta client in TestFlight has support for Apple Pencil. With this you could use Photoshop on your Shadow client and it could essentially act like a Wacom tablet.
    4. You do have full trackpad and keyboard support in Shadow. So you can play games like WoW if you wanted!

    -OTHER INTERESTING BITS-

    This is going to sound like a sales pitch but.. DO YOU DISLIKE ADS? Especially when watching YouTube? Delete the YouTube app from your iPad, download an ad blocker and save the YouTube website as a home screen bookmark. No ads, PiP support. NEAT.

    https://preview.redd.it/pp3bz18xk0961.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd684c87288b593c8b9a4b943905de864918abba

    I do a lot of game streaming on my iPad. I do tend to use Stadia and GeForce Now on iPad to hurry into those high end games when I don't have a lot of time. Stadia and GeForce Now also works with the DualShock 4 and Xbox One controllers. The only thing is that Shadow is the only app/service that uses the rumble feature in these controllers at this time.

    https://preview.redd.it/vtzpxqy0l0961.jpg?width=2105&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3b9ce6f6287809f541e16a8c61f561631aeda72

    There are apps such as Shortcuts and Scriptable that let you automate tasks such as changing your wallpaper to align with the time of day or current weather conditions. You can use the Scriptable app to make your own weather widget, calendar widget or almost anything else you can think of. Yes you may have to do a bit of research but once you break that barrier these apps are a ton of fun to use and tinker with to customize your iPad even more.

    -WHAT I WANT-

    With the new iPad Pro refresh rumored to be right around the corner I am hoping for a few upgrades.

    1. 5G. For gaming streaming and Shadow PC to be more fluid.
    2. Mini or micro-led. Who doesn't want deeper blacks and potential battery savings from this tech?
    3. Bigger or more efficient battery. The new M1 MacBooks have stellar battery. Let's get close to the efficiency on iPad somehow?
    4. BIGGER display. This on is just out there. A 16" iPad Pro... That would be wild.

    -SUGGESTIONS?-

    I've never made a post like this so sorry for the crazy formatting. I just wanted to get this out there and out of my head. There is a lot more I can say/would like to share but I'd like to hear from everyone. Do you have any cool use cases for your iPad? What're you hoping for in the new iPad Pro? What would you like in the new iPadOS software?

    Convert voice memos to text, is there a way to convert recorded voice memos to text using shortcuts or any other suggestions?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:03 AM PST

    On android I have Samsung voice recorder and Google voice recorder both offer recording voice and convert to ext with a click of a button. Is there a way to do this on iPads and iPhone?

    So I bought an iPad 8th Gen and I honestly love it.

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:21 PM PST

    Title says it all. I have had this iPad for a day now and I honestly love it. Just got a case (OB Defender Pro) and the Logitech Crayon (Alt to Apple Pencil 1st Gen) to do some drawings and stuff while I'm at work. I used this iPad nonstop and Apple did a very nice job with this device.

    Any way to access Google Chrome with extensions?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 10:08 AM PST

    Hi All - I need to use a couple of Google Chrome plugins which - unfortunately - I can't do via the iPad OS native app.

    What are the easiest ways to get access to a desktop version of Chrome? Is there a way to 'rent a desktop' or similar which I can control somehow from the iPad?

    I attempted a virtual machine to my old MBP but it was not smooth enough to be any use. Might be the age of my MacBook however (2010)
