Just to add to this thread re note taking on the iPhone. I am currently a subscriber to Ulysees but will most likely droop the subscription. It just isn’t that much better than other note taking apps in my opinion to justify the subscription.
There is another app called Drafts that I like a lot and find myself using for quick notes and draft documents. The thing I like most is that it drops you right in a blank document as soon as you open the app. It works equally well with braille screen input and a bluetooth keyboard. And it doesn’t require a subscription.
