    Best note app that works seamlessly across iPad and Mac

    Before getting my Mac mini I used Notability and was more than happy, however whilst it updates to the cloud it does not appear to do so with ease and I often find a note created on one device does not appear on the other straight away, or even overnight and the last couple days I have had to...

    All Devices Notes - Possible to Add Dynamic Horizontal Line?

    Instead of adding dashes or underscores to separate content in a note, is it possible to add a horizontal line? Ideally, I would like it to be dynamic so that it spans the full width of the note of the note on any device. Thanks!

    All Devices Jump to a Specific Note with Shortcuts

    The stock Notes widget isn't useful to me. It doesn't allow me to specify which note I want it to always display. Yes, I can have it display the most recently edited note (Settings > Notes > Viewing > Sort Notes By Date Edited), but if I make an edit to another note, then that note is now...

    iPad Updates for iWorks for new IPad Pro ?

    I would have thought that apple would have made a few tweaks to some of their core apps with the release of the new pro models. Obviously with the price increase ( and improved speed, storage etc) they are hoping to hit the corporate world. Why didn’t they tweet their core apps to help push...
