Almost Brilliant

I’ve been using this for a month now and thinking of going for the paid version

It’s saved me loads of time, and I’ve tried a number of competitors. I particularly like the level of privacy management, which is very important, of course

The notes transcribe and organise themselves very well. You can create custom templates, but sadly only on the desktop version. Why you can’t do that on iOS?

Plus, it seems to have walked up the aisle with Google, as it keeps insisting you link your calendar. I use Apple Calendar. I don’t want to use Google for anything except for searching for the nearest Chinese!

It should give you the option to switch this off.

The desktop version has a big window at the top that just won’t go away until you submit and finally switch over to Google.

I don’t like app which make it hard to cancel

There’s no option to cancel the subscription on iPhone

Forced calendar access

The app forces me to grant access to my whole workspace business calendar on my MacBook, otherwise I cannot access my notes there. I am happy to miss out on some features by not connecting the calendar, but forcing me to do so is not acceptable.

Спасибо

Это реально лучшее ии спасибо большое разработчикам, мало того что само приложение выглядит стильно

Apple Watch sync issues

I love the app and what it does. However, a few times I was subtly trying to record a class without disruption so I started recording using my Apple watch. But haven’t been able to sync it to my phone for some reason. This has happened more than once. I missed out on capturing some key instructions from my boss another time.
