MacStories:
Notes in 2017 isn’t too different from its iOS 9 debut. Apple added integration with the Pencil in late 2015, private notes with iOS 9.3, and they brought sharing and collaboration features in iOS 10, but the app’s core experience is still based on the foundation laid two years ago. Unlike, say, Apple Music or Apple News, Notes has remained familiar and unassuming, which gives it an aura of trustworthiness and efficiency I don’t perceive in other built-in Apple apps (except for Safari).
Viticci is an iPad Warrior and does a deep dive into what seems like a simplistic iOS app. It doesn’t have to be.
What I would kill to have on my devices is a throwback form long ago: Newtons’ Notes stationery; in particular the punchlist.
It was (and remains) hands-down the simplest and most flexible shopping list maker I’ve ever run across, and there are times when I consider dragging ol’ Newt 130 out of it’s hibernation and using it just for that feature.
IOS of 2017 could still learn a lot from the Newton OS of 1997.
