It used to be a simple way to jot down notes. One would tap the icon, open it up, and start writing right away, plus it would automatically save and sync to one&#8217;s computer.

It feels like they\u2019ve completely lost sight of what it was supposed to do\u2014let us take quick notes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same with all apps and websites. Adding more features isn\u2019t a bad thing, but it\u2019s crucial to keep convenience in mind. Making things easier to read, understand, and use should always come first.
