Medications widget on phone
Enhanced Notes app comparible to OneNote
A fucking calculator app on iPad
A ‘do not switch’ mode for AirPods temporarily so my work phone doesn’t disconnect my Mac headphones
@Venicon The iPad calculator is an obvious one that I missed. I’ll add that to my list for next time.
And you aren’t the only one who’s mentioned Health app improvements. The medication feature needs to be more visible and easier to log than just the timed notification that it sends.
Edit: Some of my replies are not showing up on Lemmy. Maybe I need to tag @apple_enthusiast
For the most part I think having something like the Health app to store all your health data is brilliant, it just needs a wee bit more refinement. Would also like to see some of the options added as widgets!
@apple_enthusiast Note for Mastodon readers: I cross posted this to Lemmy. Let’s see how it works!
Viewing and posting from Memmy on iOS, for what it’s worth!
Good list. Would like to see the separate volumes, especially when it comes to CarPlay. I have notifications silenced generally so nbd for me, but my ears explode when my dad gets a text in his car. If he turns down the alert volume then the call volume goes too, so he just leaves it at “tinnitus inducing” at all times.
Clipboard history would also be pretty great.
