How to get Notes on our AWs?

[Killerbob]

We use Notes for a bunch of things, like sharing information in the Family group; shopping lists, to-do lists, etc., and we are missing that functionality on our AWs. All fmaily members are all using AWs, and it would be cool if our iPads/iPhone/Mac Notes could get onto our AWs.

How do we do that?

Agreed, no idea why it’s still not included.

Apple would probably say that is becuase there is no good way of typing on the AW, but come on, it is not necessarily just for taking notes, but also for reading them. And, I am sure I could live with Sire dictation.

You could use Reminders for your shopping lists and to-do lists. That is available on the Apple Watch. Lists in Reminders can be shared with others to collaborate on as well.

I use Siri, all the time, in the following way,

"Create note <some stuff>".

The watch needs to be able to do that.

I moved to Reminders, and that seems to do the trick. Just have to teach the kids not to mark our shared Reminder Tasks as complete

Notes app has no version for the Watch? My notes from my iMac, iPad, and iPhone all sink to iCloud. I would like the same for my Watch Ultra but I don't see a Notes app in the Watch App Store. I wonder why Apple does not have this available or am I overlooking it? BTW MS OneNote has an Apple Watch app and it sinks to their cloud. I know Apple is not allowing MS to outdo them!

OP, have you found a good solution?
I'd suggest giving Google Keep a try.

No I haven’t. I am trying Ms Notes and will give your suggestion a try. Thanks!!

P.S. Sorry for responding as though I was OP!

I moved to Reminders, which I can also share with my family, but which demands a little more data discipline.

I wish we could go back to Notes though, but we all three have AWs, and it is important that the solution is cross-platform. Google Keep may do the trick, but it is another platform we will all need IDs on etc.

Fair enough, reminders can work. Just offering suggestions.

And I appreciate it - I hadn't thought of Google...

Shouldn't it be the opposite: Teaching kids complete the task before marking it

Unfortunately MSO365 on my iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch is managed by my employer, and I can’t use the apps for personal stuff - that is part of my smart devices being managed devices. Otherwise One Note would have been perfect…

I created a shortcut for viewing Apple notes on the watch. It just views the notes with no editing functionality.

When I run the shortcut on the watch, I see a list of recent notes in a table. I can select any note from the list to see the note content.
