Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
iOS 9 received many new featuresAs well as existing updates. So, state "Notes" become much more functional and now support the ability to draw, insert formatted text, links and images. Details - below.
Previously, the possibility of "notes" were very scarce, but many turned a blind eye to it and used them because of native and easy synchronization with all-Apple's devices. Definitely now more users will switch to "native" solution from Apple, giving up third-party applications. It is not that updated "Notes" surpass Evernote, but for ordinary users, who need only basic functions, notebook Apple will be just the perfect tool.
toolbar
Previously, no toolbars in the "Notes" was not: there was simply nothing to place as the instruments themselves did not exist ( "Delete" buttons "Share" and "New Entry" does not count). Now at our disposal a full bar located at the bottom of the screen. On it, in addition to the removal of the buttons and create a new note, there insert attachments, drawing and formatting. Button "Share" moved to the top panel, which also add an action Undo / Redo.
formatted text
Now the possibility of "Notes" allow to format the text. formatting menu is activated by pressing the button on the characteristic «Aa», and it can be used to make text bold, italic or underlined, as well as to identify the title or subtitle. Fonts can not be changed, but this is not necessary: for a simple notepad is enough such basic capabilities.
lists
Also in the "Notes" were different lists, some of which are numbered, labeled and control. All of them are in the same format menu. This is a great innovation, opens up additional usage scenarios "Notes", for which previously had to resort to using third-party applications. These include shopping lists, and other things planned.
Insert photo
Add a note: the image to be in the past, but does it quite tricky and non-obvious way. Now everything is much simpler: there is a special button that allows you to add an existing picture from "Films" or remove new. It's convenient, and as usual in other applications that support a similar function.
Drawing
With the drawing functions eliminates the need for third-party applications for skits and sketches. Now it's easy can be done by regular means "Notes." As always, Apple did not sprayed, and to draw us a few tools available: pencil, highlighter, brush and eraser. You can select the thickness of the line and quickly jot down some scheme or drawing by hand, embedding it into the body itself notes. Looks record itself in this just fine.
Search attachments
With the increased amount of content that you can apply to notes, it became necessary to search attachments, and Apple it certainly realized. On the home screen with a list of all notes, there is a button that displays all attachments. An excellent solution by which you can not dig in the notes in search of some important sketch or photo.
As you can see, "Notes" were chic update. Now, many will have to make a choice - to continue to use third-party applications, or switch to the "native» iOS tools. Those who dare to jump, let me remind you that the new "Notes" in iOS 9 need to "upgrade" separately (included toggle switch as is the case with iCloud Drive in iOS 8), it will need to make synchronization and Mac. Thus, update your iPhone and iPad only makes sense in conjunction with a Mac.
