I'm curious about users who do use something similar. I have an iPad pro, but I find either a notebook and pen, or butcher paper and pen to be far superior for capturing anything.
Can someone tell me how they're increasing their creative productivity with these outside of making illustrations?
I have a ton of ideas that I organize and illustrate, but I can't give up my pen/paper as I haven't found the killer combo yet.
Using Goodnotes (because it has pretty good search) and https://shop.astropad.com/products/rock-paper-pencil, made it a much more enjoyable experience for me.
Of course, I'm also pretty bad at taking notes in general, so I don't use it nearly as much as I should.

I have phases where I convince myself this is true, in between switching back to a note taking app (TickTick last few yrs) and every time I go back it's because it a) has total historical recall + a search box when I want to find something and b) I already carry my phone everywhere, like the grocery store, or I'm on my laptop for work.
Papers only true benefit is focus and "zen" stuff.
