Sadly I notice apple users are very biased and don't really try to familiarize themselves with Android os before they pass judgment. Apple is very restrictive, and a customizable OS like Android seems to scare them. But they like customizable apps like procreate so it really comes down to bias. The issues you ran into were fixable on the Android. Onenote is free. And the comment that folks aren't buying samsung tablets because you tried to order it from a non official seller on Amazon is just- wow. Its ok to have preference, but trying to pass fear of change as preference isn't cute. Android is an open source os that believe in sharing, so many brands use it (samsung, Google, etc) thats why the sales aren't as obvious since Apple restricts their sales to only 1 company. Smh
So true!! Apple users seem to forget that the vast majority of the world uses android instead of their little (almost cult like) operating system
Who cares? I don't want Apple users around. I prefer to make fun of them at a distance.
Don't forget another thing about Apple which is likely a big reason that most of the planet uses Android, which is...pricing. You'll find a variety of products of different prices using Android. Samsung itself having very low to very high end phones for instance. Apple, I guess in their failure to do the same well, only has 1 phone type, which is high end, is also expensive in itself (even if it's used or renewed). All their other hardware is also super expensive, when you can get the same quality with Samsung laptops for instance for almost half the price sometimes. Apple is also a pain ITA when it comes to ease of file transfers between phones and computers. Apple REALLY tries to keep Apple users almost strictly within their own Apple Ecosystem, it's sad when a company isn't open.
They are poisoned once the apple is bitten.
Amen.
Android is way superior to Apple. More control over customization/personalization. Not finding many decent planner videos on Android. Makes me think I should do a few videos. Samsung Notes, Penly, and Noteshelf are pretty decent. The 1st 2 I mentioned are even great for syncing across the Android ecosystem.
Yes, please make some videos. You can do so much with Android note apps. But if you don't know how to use them right, you miss out so many possibilities
Hi Stephanie: So glad to hear you're loving Android's planner/notes features. As an iPhone and Mac user, I'm pretty locked into the Apple universe so all of the cool syncing features across Android are lost on me. But I still love my Ultra Tablet. XO Lisa
When you are in your planner go to the upper right of the screen and hit the 3 dots and go to page view and you can select if you want to scroll pages left & right or scroll up and down like you did in your example. I have been using Samsung notes for many years and it is the best for importing and using digital planners with hyperlinks.
I use samsung notes also. But it has lag. I am using the galaxy tab S8+. This is a fast tablet and I have lag with the planners that I have downloaded. Do you have lag when using samsung notes?
@@haroldjordan7286 Hi Harold: I have super lag with trying to connect to Google Drive with Samsung Notes but using the actual planner is fine. I haven't noticed a lag - how big is your file? XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns One file is 6MB and the other is 5MB. Do you think that is large?
Thank you so much for this!!!💙💙💙💙
Haha... Nothing is impossible for Samsung! 😂
I have seen so many tutorials using an ipad, that this video is very different. Greatly appreciate it.
Right?! It's like no one is talking about anything but iPad! XO Lisa
Love it, practical to the point - I came from the video you mentioned (open and it's just there, with no mention how it got there, except to sell it) - love the tone of the channel great work! 🙏
Hi Alex: Great to hear! XO Lisa
Omgosh I have been searching for apps to open planners on Android thank you
Hi Blue: Hooray! XO Lisa
Thank you so much! I have been looking for this information for days! Excellent examples... I know exactly what I need now 😊
Hooray, Laura! So happy to hear this. XO Lisa
Helpful video, thanks!
I'm new to Samsung Notes, and tablets in general, and was wondering how to use digital planners on them. Regarding the scrolling mentioned in the video, you can scroll vertically or horizontally in Samsung Notes. To choose, click on the three dots and then page settings and it then it lets you choose whether you want to scroll vertically, horizontally, or 2-page horizontally. (You can also choose the background color there as well).
Hi Sherrie: Thanks for the Samsung Notes tip! XO Lisa
This video was certainly helpful, thank you for the info.
I got a Samsung tablet as a Christmas gift, ( I knew about the tablet BEFORE Christmas, 'cause it arrived via Amazon on Christmas Eve and I was present when it was ordered online, so I wasn't surprised 😁 ).
That said, I appreciated the narrator of this video, I apologize but I forgot her name, taking the time to do a tutorial on these devices and her personal opinion on both tablets.
Merry Christmas to the host and viewers reading this comment.

Exactly the video that I need ❤
Thank you for your video. I have been looking for a video like this. ❤
Hi AJ: Glad it was helpful! XO Lisa
Sadly, you haven't come back to this gem a year later.
It's the best thing even with the shortfalls.
Hi there: I actually only use my Android for watching TV. I still find the iPad better for everyday use because it has more apps like Adobe apps, Affinity apps and integrates with my iPhone and Mac. If I were an Android phone user, I'd probably be the opposite. I do still like writing with the SamSung Tablet better. XO Lisa
I have been looking for a video like this! How did you get your planner imported in the Xodo?
This is everything. Thank you for this video.
Hooray, Rita - glad you liked it. XO Lisa
Supreme thanks for your sharing. I'm heading towards Stab bcoz it comes with its pen!
so enjoyed this video !!!!
So glad to hear that! Lee dababy! XO Lisa
Thank you for telling us from the off how to get the planner. Yes many show it but never show how to install.
Hi Felipe: Awesome - so glad you found that useful! XO Lisa
They have PENLY for Android and I love this app. Great for digital planning.
Thanks for the helpful tip, I'll make sure to check out PENLY! XO Lisa
Thank you!!!
OneNote is life changing when you know how to use it
Hi CS: It looks amazing - but it just doesn't work. Like it always fails or screws something up. It's possible I'm not using it correctly but glad to hear it's working well for you. XO Lisa
Will this stuff work on the S9 Plus?
You can change the settings so that scroll from left to right
Thanks for the helpful tip, AkoTo Marjon! XO Lisa
Where do i find this social media planner PDF? I'm wondering why that's not mentioned in the video or any link of it in the description or did I miss it? 😅
Wait a minute.. if you prefer the scrolling on the iPad why not just switch Samsung notes to horizontal scrolling??
Well, as luck would have it, I can use both and go back and forth so I don't even notice anymore. Do I need an iPad and a Tablet...probably not but I do use them both everyday. XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Don’t feel bad. I also use my apple and android tablets daily. They both have their place.
Nice! XO Lisa
You have to actually get to know the tablet and what settings to use based on how you will utilize it. The same as when you purchased your first Apple product. I'm sure you didn't just pick up your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and automatically know everything the product could do or open an app without there being a learning curve. Therefore, I'm not sure why you would not have attempted to do that on the Samsung Tab S8 Ultra before putting out this video. FYI, this is coming from a tech person who uses and has iOS, Android, and Windows products. I need them all because I need to know what's going on in the tech space and to help family and friends when needed. My overall favorite for phones and tablets is Android. Specifically Samsung. Android allows for actual customization, unlike iOS. Depending on the brand, it is usually more difficult to learn, and the reason why I always suggest an iPhone for those that aren't tech savvy or grandparents. I use my iPhone and iPad for the few apps I don't have on my Samsung devices and my dogs air tags.😅
Hi can you tell me what is the size of the pdf I made a pdf in illustrator to the screen size of my tab but it seemed alittle small still.
Hi Paulie: I use 1396 x 960 pixels. XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns thanks!🙂
Hi, not sure if someone commented about the scrolling on Samsung note you can change it swiping left and right instead of the up and right 🤗
Thanks for the helpful tip, Salla-Maria! XO Lisa
Hello and thanks for the video. I have a Xiaomi tablet so I can't use Samsung notes, but i can use Xodo like You said. Thanks. Where i can find a digital planner un PDF¿??
Hi Desde Mendel: You can find a ton of digital planners on Etsy! XO Lisa
By importing as PDF in Samsung Notes, one of the most important functions is lost. The calendar months and other pages are actually linked with hyperlinks in the document by the planner designer. This function is lost when importing as PDF in Samsung Notes. However, it is possible to load the planner as a page layout in Notes, but then it is limited to a file size of 5MB. Samsung Notes does not allow more than that
Thanks for the helpful tip, Poncho Bob! XO Lisa
Is there a reason the screen on your Samsung is so pink? Is there a way to adjust it?
From editing pages on the same page, then you can drag them to the right 😸 ( samsung notes )
Thanks for the tip, Danah! XO Lisa
I'd love to get the social media planner you are using. Where can I find it
Hi Tricia: You can get it at www.prettyfabulousdesigns.com/shop XO Lisa
If you don't want to write with the pen can you type in the digital planner? I am looking into buying a tablet. But not sure how this works.
Hi Ro: Yes, sort of. You can definitely add typed text anywhere you want but it won't automatically create "borders" for your text like a fillable PDF. You'll have to re-size your text boxes for it. You could definitely do that but it wouldn't be the most efficient way to use a digital planner. It's really meant for writing in with a pencil. If you just want to type everything, then just stick with a laptop/computer. XO Lisa
This is a really helpful video! I shared this with my subscriber who needed some assistance with a customer. :)
Awesome LFDC university - so glad it helped! XO Lisa
Great video 💚
Where did you get you tablet case ? Can I have a link ?
Thanks for the visit
Hi there Budget with Crazyinlove: Yes, it's the greatest!! You can buy it directly from Samsung www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/tablets/galaxy-tab-s8-ultra-book-cover-keyboard-ef-dx900ubeguj/ or sometimes I've seen it at Best Buy and eBay .But it's not on Amazon. XO Lisa
is there an interactive planner? instead of the pdf....
Is there a planner for the S7+ to use in notes? Where do get the download?
Hi Gary: I don't know of any planner that is specific to that device but any annotated PDF planner should work just fine on your S7+. XO Lisa
And you can download them from Etsy!
U can swipe side by side in samsung notes too. Just change page settings
Thanks for the helpful tip, Shashwata! XO Lisa
Okay I have the Samsung galaxy tab and I can't see how to actually write on the pdf
Hi Jennifer: You need to change the mode from view mode to note-taking mode while you're in the Samsung Notes app and for most of the other apps. Otherwise, it thinks you're just using the pen as a mouse. XO Lisa
You just need to DOUBLE TAP on the screen to have the Samsung tablet waken up, you can turn this function off if you prefer to press the side button instead
Thanks for the tip Jacky! XO Lisa
Help! My spen does not make the scratchy sound and i need that 😅
You need the notepaper screen.
if anyone was looking for the Goodnotes alternative for Android and can't find it, know that I searched for a long time and FINALLY found it: Noteshelf. It does OCR of handwritten and keyboard text, and allows you to insert images into the PDF. Finally a fucking decent app I've tried at least 40 of them
Thanks for the tip, Allexj! XO Lisa
Does the links in the pdf work in the Samsung Notes app?
Hi Jade: Yes, they do! XO Lisa
Are you talking about hyper links?
I have a Samsung tablet and I want to use it for digital planning. I downloaded a planner into Samsung notes and the hyperlinks don't work. Did I do something wrong?
Does Samsung notes hyperlinks work as well?
Yes, Jessica - they do! XO Lisa
3:58 go to more options, page settings u get scroll options choose horizontal scroll direction
Can you sync xodo on iPad and Samsung?
Not that I know of
Yes. I have a Galaxy Tab S7+ and an iPad. I've synced between both, as well as my Windows laptop.
the links are not working
Wheres the case from???
Hi Marionette: It was really hard to find - it's not on Amazon. But it's definitely the best case. You have to buy it direct from Samsung www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/tablets/galaxy-tab-s8-ultra-book-cover-keyboard-ef-dx900ubeguj/ or they sometimes have them in stock from Best Buy. I did some cheaper ones for sale on eBay too. Good luck! XO Lisa
Why i can not click button go the automatic
Hi there CK Garden: Where are you running into trouble? Is it a certain app or is it trying to download the planner PDF to your tablet? XO Lisa
Why do you find the Apple user experience better than the Samsung user experience despite the brighter colours and bigger real estate? Is it because there are more apps in the Apple ecosystem?
Hi Mr. Tien Physics: As a Netflix viewer, I love the Samsung but for everything else the iPad is just better. There are better apps, more apps that actually work [I do find the Android app store to be full of too many useless and non-working apps], more tutorials for those apps... Until Samsung becomes more popular, I think iPad is still better for apps. XO Lisa
You can actually change settings to swipe sideways in samsung notes.
Thanks for the helpful tip, PaldaMoeba! XO Lisa
@PrettyFabulousDesigns your video was veery helpful. Thank you.
What about a computer without an emulator?
Hi Mohamed: Not a clue what an emulator is so I can't answer this. XO Lisa
Here's a tip from an Android user
You can make the book as a swipe so it looks like a book
Thanks for this tip. How can you do that?
Hi Pearlie: You can change that in the settings. XO Lisa
How did u get that notebook 😫
Hi Selin: Are you asking about the case?: It was really hard to find - it's not on Amazon. But it's definitely the best case. You have to buy it direct from Samsung www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/tablets/galaxy-tab-s8-ultra-book-cover-keyboard-ef-dx900ubeguj/ or they sometimes have them in stock from Best Buy. I did some cheaper ones for sale on eBay too. Good luck! XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns no no I was asking about the journal
is it Subsribed or one time pay
Hi Imen: They all vary so you'll want to check the fine print on the pricing very carefully before purchasing. XO Lisa
Battery Issue is a red flag
Please take it for checkup or it will be major issue later
Hi there: I was told that the battery is fine so I returned and just ordered another one so we'll see if it's any better.... XO Lisa

its nothing more than just a diary or poetry album. Not useful for busniness and planning. Only lasts for a year. Need to get new one for each year. Not compatible to each year edition, so there is no option to search "which task I did on which date (years/ month ago)"
You can swipe sideways in Samsung notes by going to the "Page view" option on the top right of any note
Apple has better watches, laptops, desktops and monitors than Samsung.
Samsung has better tablets and phones than Apple.
Thanks for the tip, Wale! XO Lisa
Only Samsung tablet?
Hi Marko: I don't understand your question? But I have both an Ipad + the Samsung Tablet - I use them both. XO Lisa
Hello, is this a planner you made and if so where can I purchase?
Well, at least you taught me how to open a planner I downloaded but hadn't a clue of how to use. Sadly you don't find Android useful so I'll unsubscribe.
Just saying these devices are both tablets.😂 You could say iPad and Android.
well I'm not as rich as you and can't afford to pay for everything I was to do on Apple or 1200 dollars to get an iPad.
You are toooo fast speaking....
There is a feature with YT where you can slow the video down. Click the gear > click playback speed > then select the speed - either 0.75, 0.5, or 0.25
