App Profile: Nano Notes

Just finished an entire book on my watch; The Time Machine by H G Wells. Of course I had to use other apps to transfer the text...but well worth the trouble to have a book on your wrist! So I went to project Gutenberg online to free books, went to the html download of it, copied and pasted two chapters at a time. Very time consuming. Don’t know if I’ll do that again. Too bad Apple doesn’t give you the option to read ebooks on your watch.

Update! Prior review follows. The developer reached out and tried to help me troubleshoot the crashes, but apparently Apple doesn't allow for much action on the watch at one time and will quit your apps to acquire data for complications, etc. I hoped the series 10 would be powerful enough to be useful, but sadly it is not. This is not the fault of the developer of this app, and I gave 2 stars back for his attempts to remedy the global issue. Prior review:I use this app for easy access to lesson plans on my wrist. (Teacher, here.) I have the app set to stay open for one hour, but many times I have to relaunch the app because it crashed. The very infrequent updates have not addressed this problem at all. They only add things like icon tinting. It's too bad. Could be useful if it actually worked properly. Re-code this app and optimize/fix the memory leaks for cripe's sake, and you might have something worth buying here!

There is another issue: my notes are not synced between iPhone and iPad otherwise it will be a truly handy app. By the way, font size on apple watch version is too big despite the size has been set to the smallest in the settings.[Solved by myself. I double-click the home button to force Nano Notes to quit and then reload it. Everything displays correctly now. But I wish to pin some notes so that I don’t have to re-order after copying new notes. (Issue: I copied a poem into Nano Notes and the list shows a few lines which is fine but I tap the note on my iPhone it shows a blank screen. I check Nano Notes on the watch, both the list and the text show properly. I am confused. I deleted the original 2/3 notes because I don’t like Shelly. Does it have something to do with the display issue?)]
