I like how they purposely kept that hideous pale fuchsia book icon as if they actually believe it’s attractive. I’m only surprised that there isn’t any cobalt blue.
Any reason to pick this over simple note?
Shopping list app on ipad? We need something more.
I will continue using Outline
A day late and a dollar short Microsoft. I loved One Note when I had a PC, but you failed to offer it on all platforms until now… Switched to Evernote, and never looking back, it works on everything I use, and everything I might think of using in the future… and it’s FREE… and it just works.
