Notes 4+

I just recently lost several writings, thoughts, etc I had placed in the NOTES app. About six months ago my email was discovered on the dark web. I followed instructions as recommended I thought, changed passwords many times, created new email and changed browsers. The problem is I am not able to work on the computer frequently, and with all the changes things got screwed up. Eventually, Microsoft locked my account and I could not synchronize devices. My subscription was purchased with an earlier email, which was also changing. I requested support assistance via Microsoft’s website, but when I got a suspicious telephone call from a person claiming to be a Microsoft technician and I watched what he was doing, I knew I had made a mistake. Today, I contacted Apple Support, scheduled a call back time and like voila the call came as requested. The technician I spoke with was absolutely amazing! She led me with step by step instructions, slowly telling me what to do. More importantly, patiently wait for me to follow her directions. In a very short time, my information was recovered, visible again on my iPad as they had been for years. I wish I could use her name, to personally say again how grateful I am because SHE restored my faith in people. Wish you all the best life has to offer…my guardian angel! Thank You. Joe

PRO: This app offers widely accessibility across all applications and Apple devices, standing out for its exceptional user-friendliness. It excels in quick information capture—whether sharing a delightful recipe discovered online by saving the link to Notes or preserving a screenshot to prevent it from being lost in the Photos app. A key strength lies in the app’s versatility to store various documents and files for effortless retrieval and access. This stands in contrast to the Files app, where content is often hidden, leaving users reliant on file names for identification. Additionally, organizing notes can be done with easy by creating personalized folders, spanning categories like personal, educational, professional, and financial, enhances the user’s ability to structure and manage content. Notably, the default notes folder is truly a brilliance feature; new notes appear in a designated folder by default, and users can maintain a clutter-free space by promptly relocating them to custom folders, leaving the yet-to-organize notes uncluttered.

CON: For enhanced practicality, the app could introduce an option allowing users to add new content to an existing note from the top. This adjustment would place the most recent contents at the beginning of notes, eliminating the need for users to scroll through older content to access and edit the latest information.

Let me start this off right by saying that I LOVE the notes app. I use it for everything. For writing stories, songs, EVEN FOR TELLING MYSELF WHAT TO DO TOMORROW, I tend to use it a LOT. But I just have 2 issues with it. So, when you have a folder inside a folder (or subfolder for short), it would be nice if inside the main folder you could see the subfolder. Almost as if it was a document. Of course, it would probably be like shorter or something to differentiate it from a actual note. Anyways, you would be able to click on it to open the subfolder and then once you are in the subfolder you could click on a arrow somewhere in the top left corner, and you would be back to the main folder. This would just be a nice quality of life change. The 2nd thing is also quality of life, but also something a little more universal then something that just triggers my OCD 😂. It is the fact that people have to EXCEPT a shared note for it to be something they can edit. My friends aren’t great at this so it would just be nice if it would be a feature that you could just manually add them instead of having to wait for them to except the invitation. Bark out, Dozard87.
