Adding Notes on iPhone app - too easy to 'Cancel'

tismey Pro says:

It's far too easy to accidentally catch the 'Cancel' button when editing notes on the iPhone app, especially if using the landscape mode for editing because you only have room for a couple of lines of text in the text area. I have caught the 'cancel' button a couple of times when trying to scroll the text area.

In fact I'm not sure it should have a 'Cancel' button at all. If you look at the built-in Notes app, it assumes that you will want to save your note - there is no 'Cancel'. If you accidentally create a note then it's an easy to delete it. I'd rather create a note, then have to delete it than spend 10 minutes making notes, only to accidentally hit 'Cancel' and lose them.

Hey tismey,

Just wanted to say thanks for your feedback -- we'll check into this. (We might be able to confirm the cancellation for the opposite case of where someone has edited a note but realised they don't wish to save their changes.)
