A couple of gripes with L8 notes

1. You can no longer filter out a notebook in mobile app. So, I used to have a notebook for my observation markup. I need this when doing exegesis but I don't want to see it when reading devotionally on my mobile. Unfortunately the only option now is to turn off all notes.

2. Sorting; On the desktop app I can no longer sort notes by reference. Am I missing something here?

    I don't recall a discussion on this in mobile (I didn't follow the dedicated group too closely), but I do know that while the same is currently true on the web app, they are planning on more granular display control there, so I would be surprised if this didn't come to mobile as well.

    You're not missing anything except the fact that it's #1 on the upcoming features list here.

    Thanks. Strange though that something as basic as sorting by reference should be deferred to an update.

    You can still view separate notebooks - it’s just that is defaults to showing you all notes. Go back using the button in the top left till you get to the menu saying “All notes”, “Notebooks” and “Trash” and tap on the second one.

    For the record, can I just say how much I hate writing comments on my phone - can’t read whole comment on one screen when editing which means that I constantly miss typos. It makes me shy about posting.
