Hi,
Feel I am missing something here: I have successfully used the onboard
notes app for, I think, just about all of these functions. Sure, "Search" is a
feature lacking, but is that the only one? Can you use basic formatting such as
fonts etc with this app? As for returning to an note to append, I never had a
problem with that, just going into edit mode and control down arrow, I think it
is, upon hearing the bonk sound, I know where I am. Also, I suppose, there
isn't a proper tree structure for folders etc and that would be useful. So, are
these two the only advantages to this new app? I am not knocking it, but I am
knocking the price unless ,of course, I have completely missed the salient
points.
Thanks in advance, Sandy.
