Hi Rich,
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to assist seniors with with their inadequate skills concerning the purchase of a new iPhone. It was greatly appreciated.

Oh my goodness, Rich - thank you for your quiet and slow chat about Notes. I would love more info even about Notes - organizing into folders and subfolders, etc. I have searched before for basic instructions on Notes and found the pace far to fast, and the voices a bit irritating. I am actually fairly proficient with Apple devices (I bought my first Mac in 1987, and have only bought Apple products ever since). But as I get older I sure could use gentle help from time to time! Thanks again...

I've been looking for some videos that I can share with my parents, and the tone, speed, assumptions of understanding (or lack of it) and the rationale for WHY to use Apple Notes vs non tech solutions is perfect here. Even as a tech guy that should've already know all this, I've learned some new things too. Thanks for making these!

As a senior many a time I don’t understand what you say ! I understand it in following ways 1) decrease the speed of video to 0.75% (2) tap the screen on left two times so you can listen what you heard 10 seconds before and you can go backwards by tapping again and again to repeat what is said 😀

Great video, Rich! I am going to share this with my husband because he has so many problems using all the wonderful apps on his iPhone! You explained every tip slowly, in easy to follow terms and did not make anyone feel like a dummy for not knowing how to do these things. This video is even helpful for those of us who do use Apple notes on a regular basis. It never hurts to have a refresher look at the apps that can help us with the simple tasks our phones can accomplish for us! Thanks again, and I plan to watch your other videos to get more good ideas and info!

Hi Rich, I enjoy your videos. I have watched them several times. I have a tip for you that I have learned. If you like you can use an emoji in front of your folder name to give you a visual cue as to what your folder is. For example if you had a folder named “Books” you can use the books emoji. It would look like this “📚Books”. Kindness, Teresa

Ok…I was watching this for my grandma but I ended up learning stuff I didn’t know! Thanks. She’s going to know more than me by the end of this series.

I use a blood pressure in a grocery stote and put the results on notes. Thank you for your helpful hints

[joeaspin]

They are great Rich. I still go back & forth to use your tutorials. Thank you.

Very worthwhile. I have been transferring notes I stored in the Evernote’s app over to Notes. One suggestion I have: turning your phone to the landscape mode might make keyboard entry easier.

Glad I found your YT channel Rich. Learned a few things about Apple Notes from your video. Love the easy going delivery of info. Hoping to learn a lot more about my iPhone that I didn't already know. Going to have a look at your other videos to see if you have done a deep dive into iCloud, and also iCloud and all the ins and outs as they pertain to iPhone, iPad, and my iMac. The Notes on my iMac seems to work somewhat differently, the search feature being one of the things, and I don't know why. Thanks, Subscribed.
