That’s sort of a shame - there’s a few requests for functionality out there. Personally I’d like the ability to add comments to a note, rather like the way you do on a cell in Excel. Just a way for me to add an aide memoire when I’ve got a page of ‘big picture’ Notes. But if it’s not to be, I can get over it.
What would be absolutely brilliant though would be an iOS version. Like the OP I find those apps on iPad overpowered and difficult. Maybe Scapple is “finished” in functionality, fair enough, but is an iOS version out of the question and off the table?
