introduction
Hello!
First of all, I’d like to thank you for purchasing our digital product(s).
If you are new to digital planning, I have put together a small guide
that I hope will help you get started with digital planning/journaling.
Please note that the following instruction is tailored toward using our
digital products on an iPad and the Goodnotes app (since it’s the app I
am most familiar with). However, Dear Saku digital products will work
on most PDF annotation devices/apps that support the use of a stylus
(to write with). Examples of other note-taking applications include:
Notability, Noteshelf, CollaNote, ZoomNotes, Flexcil, Xodo, Samsung
Notes, reMarkable and reMarkable 2. Please remember that our
products will appear black & white in remarkable devices.
Don’t hesitate to reach me on Etsy if you have any question or request
regarding your order. Every feedback will be appreciated!
I hope your digital planning journey would be awesome,
Elisabeth Jesica (Dear Saku)
