Yep. It’s a neat concept. An open canvas that’s intended to be worked on as a collaborative effort for groups via iCloud.

Pretty neat concept for some.

I may use it as a virtual note taker.

Can’t see me using it.

I have been testing it and the two major complains I have (considering it’s the first beta) are that it’s not possibile to share items to it, but only to import them from within the app, and that the writing tools are different from the ones in the Notes app (which has more options).

I’m looking forward at using it for research and brainstorming. I’ve been using a few apps to do the same but having a native option with the iPad first in mind could be a game changer.

Comparing it to other apps:

  • Miro and FigJam are built with desktop in mind and then adapted for iPadOS, drawing on them is often not smooth and their integration with the OS is not great.
  • Concepts is great but almost too much. I don’t want to waste time selecting colours, tools, etc. Also, not available on Mac.
  • Muse is almost perfect for what I do but some gestures annoy the hell out of me (no zoom options, weird drag and dropping). Also, boards are not viewable on iOS.

The eighties called, they want their app-icon back.

I just feel like this will turn more into a modern day Pictochat

They should add the coding app from iPads instead. I don’t care about drawing on my phone, but coding would be sick.

Edit: Ohh sorry, I guess me caring more about coding than drawing is an unpopular opinion.

“Apparently,” nothing. I installed 16.2 last night (Public beta) and it was included on my second page of apps. Odd because the first page was not filled. Either way, I have it and it works. I’m really not sure what I’ll use it for, though.

Looking forward to comments from all the people that won’t be using the app and conclude that because of that it shouldn’t exist.

the proportions will be really weird for using an apple pencil with an iPhone.

I think this new app would be great on iPads and Macs but iPhones will mainly be used as a “canvas viewer”, not so great as a design tool.

Yeah, cause that’s what I would personally prefer. Doesn’t mean that can’t add whatever app they want.

Man, this sub has a severe lack of ability to understand words and context. Downvote me all you want, you clearly didn’t understand what I said. Your mistake.

Dang, I was really hoping it was just going to be a whiteboard for me to throw stuff at. Kinda more like OneNote meets Squid (an awesome whiteboard app for Android)

I don’t think this would be something I would be interested in but it might be ok for someone else.🤷‍♀️

Seems like their take on making some sort of hybrid version of procreate / concepts

This is a good idea I think. Just the other day I was like saying to myself “dang it I need a notepad to scribble on”

Idgaf I’d use a pencil every day if it was supported by my iPhone. I came from having a Samsung note and the stylus is the biggest thing I miss coming over to an iPhone. Or you know what? Apple can make a separate stylus and sell more shit. I’d preorder one if it was an option.

We’ll since Apple Pencil doesn’t register on iphones(obvious I know) you pretty much use some off brand pen or worst case scenario, your fingers. But adding pencil support would be tricky since you can only charge it (2nd gen) on an iPad.

crazyhomie34 t1_iu5ptil wrote

Seems cool. Btw what do you guys use as a stylus for an iPhone? Seems stupid that apple won’t make the stylus compatible with an iPhone.

I still don’t understand why Apple doesn’t include Apple Support App as standard on iPhones preinstalled

I haven't tested it but i watched the part of the event where they introduced it. It looks like a digital whiteboard, which is something i've wanted for awhile. I'm hoping my family and I can make use of it for the same kinds of things we'd use a whiteboard for, like keeping track of when foods were cooked and chore rotations

it feels to me like an evolution of the notes app. Or to put it another way, maybe they were working on adding this functionality to Notes but it ended up making more sense to make it its own separate app

Not gonna lie, I didn’t even realize that it was downloaded to my phone. Thanks for the heads up!

Apple - ever thought asking your customers what they want instead of what R&D wants to provide. It's called Customer Driven Products. Some guy name Jobs used to talk about it.

I just deleted that shit, wondering if I drunk downloaded an app. Solved that mystery. Didn’t even think that the update was the culprit.

I would love to be able to do that, but how do you charge the pencil then? It is sold separately from the iPad so in order to be compatible with the iPhone it would need to be able to be charged separately… except if we are talking Gen 1 Apple Pencil

It’s actually not like that in most cases. People don’t ask for the things they get, as much as it’s the company that develops based upon an initial idea and then they see what customers think. I use apps like this all the time with my clients and students. Just because it doesn’t do anything for you, doesn’t mean it’s useless.

Is this just basically a taking notes app? Why not just update the Notes app and just combine the two ideas?

I dunno if you do this for a living but the last thing you want to do when building a brand new application is to ask users what they want. Users don’t know what they want. They only tell you what they don’t want and even then not until after you build what they said they wanted.

Far-and-away THE BEST way to deliver new applications is to quickly build and deliver a small, limited app that actually works and does something useful on live content. At least that way you can completely start over without losing much time.

They would make it only compatible with the biggest iPhone Mega Ultra Super Pro. More heavy, bigger camera bump. Three color options, all muted and boring. 128 GB base, 2 grand. We think you are going to love it.
