Find notes with hashtags on Letterspace

There are a lot of note-taking apps but can yours do searches with hashtags? Letterspace, a note-taking app for Mac and iOS, lets you organize your notes by placing hashtags inside your notes. This will make it easier to search for them at a later date. You can also @mention people so names will be searchable in the future. It is a simple yet probably easier way than the usual tagging system other apps have. Your notes also sync to iCloud so everything will be up-to-date on all devices. It might seem silly to place hashtags in notes though but you do them everywhere else so what’s one more app to do them on?

Facebook to suggest nearby places to you on iOS app

In another move to encroach Foursquare's main business, Facebook is introducing a new nearby place recommendation feature into its iOS app. The social network calls the feature as Place Tips. It will display posts about a certain shop, restaurant, or other establishments when it sees you're in the area. It is currently testing in select areas, like New York, before a universal rollout. We don't know yet when that would be or if it'll come to Android. Let us know if you're able to try it out and what you think about it.
