i'm new to Iphone (24 hours ago) and i come from windows mobile world and it's a shame not to have a cool text editor because i write 2 hours/day on my phone (subway) and right now I can't do that anymore :( I write for www.froggydelight.com and it's very important for me. I hope this great app will be out soon ! It's the only condition to me to keep my iphone !
Hey, can I add a feature request? Your app should sort notes by *creation time* not by last modification time. I know you're just copying what the built-in Notes app does, but what Notes does is wrong!
I want to be able to scroll back through my notes making use of temporal memory - notes I took last month should be positioned before notes I took last week should be before notes I took today. That's useful information. If I go back and make a few spelling corrections or change the font or elaborate on a point or delete a line I no longer need in an older note, its position should not change. The fact that anything I touch percolates to the front in Notes means my notes quickly are in essentially random order, which is bad.
This problem is bad for Notes - it along with the lack of a search feature renders the app nearly unusable for me - but it's almost worse for your app because you've enabled more things to tweak - changing fonts and rearranging blocks of text using copy/paste. If I *want* to move a note to the top of my MagicPad list, I can use copy/paste to copy the old data to a new note. But auto-percolate should never be the default policy.
Okay, here's another issue, a simpler and more traditional "bug" rather than a poor design decision.
* in a new note, write the text "one two" in Sans font * select the second word ("two") and change it to Marker font. * select "one two" and try to change the whole line back to Sans by tapping "Sans" in the font popup.
RESULT=> You can't do it. Because the start of your selection is already in Sans, Sans is selected and tapping it again does nothing.
WORKAROUND: having selected the whole line, if you first change it to some other font (say, Mono) you can THEN change it back to Sans.
