Couldn't agree more about line width. It has driven me nuts for a long time. I'll add that images (especially ones in portrait orientation are MASSIVE in large mode and tiny in small mode). I think it would make sense to add a line width slider.
The transcribe would only be useful if it can recognise that there are two people or more on the recording. This is what Microsoft does very well in word
Hi currency conversion works but no slider to change numbers. I hit return and get the answer. Not like yours where it says solved. Is this iPhone 15 and above only
Great video, thanks. Can you tell me if you can 'Lock' an Apple note with attachments (e.g PDF attached) in IOS18? You can't do this in IOS17. Thanks Heaps
Sir when i write something in apple note ,the new features automatically autocorrect the letters but it is frustrating because lots of time its change it to some other words or replace it with other letter .. can u help me to fix it..
Thanks Peter, have watched this again. Is there a way to change the headings. sub headings, body styles so they are permanent. I want to use a different font, size and Demi-bold not bold. If there is not, Apple should give us this flexibility. I have decided to move from Agenda and bear at this time. Both apps that I love, but Notes can do the job now. Not sure why I have a weird user handle.
Where have you been? I talked to my computer all the time I get things done that way so I know what it is to talk to him they never answer but at least they write it down so thanks for your info.
Good job Peter .. I'm using awesome note app for my daily activities and notes .. now I would like to use apple note , I ask for your help .. How to 1. shift my notes from app to apple note ? 2. change the date created to previous date? Many thanks
You’re still using Awesome Note 😮. It was one of my favorites and used it for a very long time. But seemed to be abandoned. BTW, to shift your notes, assuming you are syncing with Evernote, you can export from there.
Hello Peter, Thanks for the amazing content as always! You did not review the collapsible sections. Maybe it has not been implemented yet? I hope you’ll review Apple reminders in calendar anytime soon. Take care
@@PeterAkkiesthanks for getting back to me so fast. I’m glad to know that we’ll see you again very soon. I totally agree with your request to Apple regarding readability. I would also beg them for a webclipper, a good research (it is currently unable to return a folder as a result, only notes’ titles or contents), and an easy way to tune up notes’ aspects. I’m a happy capacities user but I still need Apple notes for specific tasks
Hi Peter, really nice video, definitely the Apple Notes App is getting better and smarter. However, just how you mention at the of your video, Apple need to work on the typography on the app on all the devices; I do really love the Notes app, it pack a lot of useful functions but the main thing that keep me away is how the text is showed on bigger devices, I hate how wide the text looks on the iPad and Mac, it makes me feel extremely messy and that's the main reason of why I'm still sticking to Bear as my main notes apps. I'm really waiting for a better text distribution on Notes App, I hope they add something like that soon.
I have been wanting a feature in photos that is in Notes for a long time and it is simple so I have no idea why it hasn't been done. Sure, photos can be hidden, but why not just a simple Lock Album likes Notes has? Great video here!
One feature, yet to be in Apple Notes, is the highlight a search result. Often search is very quick, but doesn’t show where in the note or attachment the result actually is. Can be frustrating if result is in a pdf attachment that a few pages long.
Peter fantastic video! You literally said out loud, what i’ve been wanting for sometime, viz., some control over things like line length, better typography. I would’ve loved markdown too (i know it’s probably never going to happen) , but atleast some way to enhance the note taking experience.
Muchas gracias! I agree that Markdown is unlikely to happen. Better line length and typography… maybe. I have hope. Even if we can’t change the settings, just give us better defaults!
Peter, I have iOS and iPadOS beta 3. I can't figure out how to keep sentences/ questions in the same paragraph when doing live transcription. Every time I add punctuation like a period or question mark, a hard return is created. In screencaps etc of Notes 18, it seems like paragraphs with multiple sentences can be created versus creating a hard return/ new line each time. Any idea how to do this? Also, with recordings with multiple persons, does Notes recognize different voices in order to identify persons speaking in transcriptions? Thanks so much.
I'm an older senior and loved your video. I struggle with the apple pencil because I write left-handed (like a drunken chicken running across the keys) do you see any help coming for left handed writers? Thank you.
@@PeterAkkies Thank you Peter. I decided to install the beta and checked. Apparently, we are able to. We have to hover over the heading and it shows a collapsible icon on the left side. Cheers!
Need Link Back/Return button I appreciate the new "Add Link" feature in the Notes App on iOS 17. I see iOS 18 added a Recent Notes option that lets you get back to the closed originating note in the Notes List. However, it would be incredibly useful to have a "Link Back/Return" button that takes you back to the opened originating note, at the spot where they did the linked from. This would enhance the user experience by making navigation between linked notes more seamless, similar to how web browsers and email apps handle links.
Thank you! I’m already working on the next video. Things 3 on the beta works but it’s buggy-probably more because of iPadOS than because of Things though.
Great review! I’m wondering if besides highlighting words in color on iOS can I change the actual word or sentence color? Also not sore if you have been able to check reminders. Did they include Due Upon Completion like Things has?
Thank you! No, you cannot change the actual word or sentence color on iOS. You can on macOS, in a convoluted way, but I don't recommend it because it's kinda hacky. I recorded a Reminders video today so that should be coming out in the next few days. Are you referring to repetition schedules based on completion? No, Reminders still doesn't support that.
Peter, does it not seem as though Apple is continually iterating on the Reminders app, making it better while Culture Code (aside from new widgets, font sizes etc.) is not innovating?
Well, I wouldn't put it that way, but Apple is definitely improving Reminders. Not at a huge pace, but there are Reminders improvements every year. I am not sure what Cultured Code are working on. I doubt they're doing nothing but I too feel that they haven't introduced a lot of new features recently. I will say that the "font sizes" were a huge update for them-it perhaps doesn't look that way from the front end, but they had to do a lot of work to make that happen. Still, I'd love to see location-based reminders and attachment support in Things, at a minimum. They're just such no-brainers that would immediately draw in a lot more users for them. But why that's not happening (at least not yet)… I know just as much or little as we all do.
I’m really torn if I should use Apple notes or go with iA Writer. The typing experience there is so good, but since I just have the Mac version, paying $40 for an iPhone app is a hard pill to swallow. I wish Apple notes could have a typewriter mode or focus mode similar to iA Writer.
It would make sense if apple would include into ai's capabilities to organise all notes by voice, each according to specific themes, titles or concepts, rather manually organising them. This would be immensely helpful and timesaving.
Have they fixed the following Notes, Link feature scenario? Using iPhone iOS, Notes App, How do you get back to the original Note you linked from? There should a be Link Back/Return button to get you back to the originating link.
I’ve installed iPad OS 18 on to my iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) and while I can record a voice note within Notes, there’s no sign of transcription. I suspect this might be a feature for the M1 models. Anyone else been able to try?
Three years now, I’ve been pulling in different fonts that are different sizes and colors. Just create a note and name it fonts. You’ll need to copy and then paste a word in the font you like in the new note. Type immediately after the word with no space. It all comes out in the font and size and color that you want. Erase the one word at the beginning of the sentence. Wa-Bam! Problem solved.
Yes, voice notes in Notes now have transcription. In the Voice Memos app on iPad, I don't see a transcription option yet. Maybe it'll appear in a future beta version.
Please ask every Apply employee you encounter to add a "Financial" mode to the new calculator app in addition to the Basic, Scientific, and Math Notes app. A "Financial" mode would handle PV, FV, PMT, N, & I.

I was waiting highlighting in Notes for years 😅
These features are making me consider leaving other apps behind for apple notes.
And you're right, typography should get a revision
Couldn't agree more about line width. It has driven me nuts for a long time. I'll add that images (especially ones in portrait orientation are MASSIVE in large mode and tiny in small mode). I think it would make sense to add a line width slider.
Peter, another excellent video.
Much better than the news articles I've been reading on these subjects/
The transcribe would only be useful if it can recognise that there are two people or more on the recording. This is what Microsoft does very well in word
I think it can do that but cannot test it myself yet
I purchased newly ipad air m2 , is it safe to download os 18 beta version to regular use for notes ?
A quick question please can you type a text with a keyboard and highlight or write over it with Apple Pencil like Notability does thank you
Hi currency conversion works but no slider to change numbers. I hit return and get the answer. Not like yours where it says solved. Is this iPhone 15 and above only

Can you record with voice memo separately then insert the recording after? Will it be transcribed? Also can you take notes whiles its recording?

That’s awesome. Glad your notes app works on ipados18. Mine crashes every time I open it.
That sucks, hopefully that gets fixed in beta 2

Thanks Richard! I am not left-handed so don't really know enough about the difficulties to be able to judge…
Star Trek!!! 🙌
Mine doesn’t have the transcriptions. Only the audio

No I can't do that yet in the beta unfortunately

@@puna_hanma4091 Yes I had also figured it out in the meantime. Thanks for getting back to me!
@@PeterAkkies No worries. Like your videos a lot!
I can't believe it's 2024 and Apple still doesn't allow direct markup in notes using apple pencil
I mean, they could have allowed us to highlight text with the pencil :( Would have been a bit better, but that is ok too

Hi. What is the calendar widget on your ipad called?
Fantastical
Cheers for the reply.👍🏾
The only thing that held me back from using apple notes for college was the inability to highlight text
Well here we are now

No, you can't nest tags in Notes
Apple stock apps are taking a pretty good leap forward in the new iOS/iPadOS/MacOS. Thanks for the walk through and the cheat-sheet!!!!! Great video👍🏽
Thanks Tony!

I agree! That would be amazing.
With the new transcription feature in IOS 18 i guess my Plaud note device is now obsolete. 😀
Have they fixed the following Notes, Link feature scenario?
Using iPhone iOS, Notes App, How do you get back to the original Note you linked from?
There should a be Link Back/Return button to get you back to the originating link.
No it just jumps to the other note-there is no "back"
@@PeterAkkies seems this should be a natural part of the link feature like browsers have.

I'm seeing the same on my M1 iPad Pro. Not sure if it's related to M1 or whether it just doesn't work on iPads (vs. iPhones) yet.
@@PeterAkkies Thank you, I appreciate the response. Maybe not activated for iPad OS as yet then.
Three years now, I’ve been pulling in different fonts that are different sizes and colors. Just create a note and name it fonts. You’ll need to copy and then paste a word in the font you like in the new note.
Type immediately after the word with no space. It all comes out in the font and size and color that you want. Erase the one word at the beginning of the sentence. Wa-Bam!
Problem solved.
2:13 Wait so the Apple Notes have Voice Transcription now? But Voice Notes don’t?
Yes, voice notes in Notes now have transcription. In the Voice Memos app on iPad, I don't see a transcription option yet. Maybe it'll appear in a future beta version.
@@PeterAkkies That is some bull. Did they even brought Voice Transcription in the iOS as well? Not just iPadOS?
When typing multiple things in notes swiping down the keyboard will take me out of the page completely super frustrating
I was expecting The new integration of calendar and reminders
I recorded a video on that today, it's coming soon
Can you pinch zoom on the new Apple Notes? A drawing app that you can't zoom in, is crazy.
It’s not specifically a drawing note app.
Freeeform would be a better app for this.
Please ask every Apply employee you encounter to add a "Financial" mode to the new calculator app in addition to the Basic, Scientific, and Math Notes app.
A "Financial" mode would handle PV, FV, PMT, N, & I.
What's wonder, is that Apple has no translation function in action from language 1 to language 2.
Well there is the Translate app
I love you Peter so much 💌. Your honest, direct and engaging content really make differanc. Keep the good work.
I really appreciate that! Thank you.
transcribe doesn't work unless you have a certain newer ipad pro/iphone
and yet, still no bulk export as pdf in 2024 :D
🙃 Apple likes to keep you in their ecosystem, of course
No transcript for the Dutch language :\
Nog niet maar dat komt op een gegeven moment vast wel.
