The Functionality is on the phone. What I was trying to say is I would like keyboard commands for such functions like AccessNote has so command r for reply etc. there are already navigation text selection copy cut and paste keyboard commands built into iOS so why not other such keyboard commands built in as well. Commands like command n for new could work in many apps including third party ones.
Yes, note takers obviously cost more. This is an app though and although it does have some very nice features such as the fore mentioned keyboard shortcuts, as far as the price of apps compared to features this app Is on the high side. All this said, I didn't mind paying the price and I do to a point understand the limited market virses the make it up in volume argument. Kind regards, Danny.
