iPhone App - Use cases

Hi there - I’m curious what people are using the iPhone app for? I like the idea of an iPhone app for ideas, etc. But I notice it hasn’t been updated in quite a while, so I’m just curious what people use it for. Thanks.

It hasn’t been updated in awhile because – in my humble opinion – it is feature complete and Apple hasn’t broken iOS to a degree that required an update. I know there are things it cannot do that the Desktop apps can, but lets keep in mind intended scope vs mission creep here.

I have it on my iPhone, but I don’t normally use it on my phone, but on my iPad where I do more than a fair portion of my composition. When you are writing (with a physical keyboard like Apple’s Magic Keyboard case) the iPad is about as solid as anything else I’ve tried. Sure I can and do write on my Mac, but for just whip out and pounding keys, nothing beats the iPad for me.

But you asked about the iPhone….

When I use it, mostly it is for review and reading, or when I’m stuck somewhere and need to jot down a note or what have you.

I could (and have in the past) write on it, again through the use of a physical keyboard. In a recent forum post here (that’s a 16 Pro Max in the picture for size comparisons) I even showed off one of the keyboards I keep around with my other EDC tools. Incidentally you might find that discussion thread useful in your query here, too.
