I use the Notes app on my phone and iMac. I just got an AW3 the other day and see it does not have an equivalent? I would think with Siri this would be a good app for the watch. Am I missing it or does it not exist?

Thanks.

Funny that I see this today. While waiting in the dr. Office today I wanted to make a note of my blood pressure results that were just taken. So I envoked Siri to make a note and nothing happened. I looked through all the apps and there is no notes app! I was rather surprised. Like you, I would think that having the notes app and Siri would be a natural. I guess not :(:confused:

No note apps. There's an app called Notebook that I use on the watch. Can use Siri or scribble and they should show up on the phone as well. I've also done a siri reminder on the Watch, but sometimes i'm not in the right environmentfor that. I've also emailed myself.

I use the Bear app, which is a notes app that requires a subscription fee. It comes with a Watch app which lets me view stored notes. Otherwise, there is no notes app for the watch.

send yourself a text message

Well I like to keep list type of items in an iPhone/Mac notes. I see how a text could work, but not in the way I need it to. Thank you for the suggestion, though. :)

You can use Just Press Record. Works on watch and phone well. It’s voice notes but it also converts voice to text.

You could, but for me the issue is to be able to use the standard Notes app that once I put something in it with iCloud it goes to my Mac, iPhone, iPad and any other iCloud device I might have.
This is just a baffling omission.
I sent off a feature request to Apple.
Hopefully others will do the same.

Yes. This. I’ll send a request too.
 
My wife uses Notes in her phone all the time and just got the AW3. First thing she asked me was about these notes!

Has anyone tried Evernote app? Can you dictate the messages on the AW?
 
Any of these notes app can be used without the iPhone?
(For example, I go to the groceries and left my iPhone in the car)
