Feature Request: Moving notes on mobile / smartphones

Posted under Bugs & Features

Is there currently any way to move notes on mobile devices? Right now on mobile you can create new notes and edit existing notes but you can not click and drag to move them. This makes it impossible to add translations without a computer and there are probably a lot of users on smartphones who would help translate if it were easier to do. If adding the ability to move notes on mobile is impossible or would take a long time maybe we could do something else to help phone users contribute. For example, maybe we could have desktop users place empty notes in the correct location and then mobile users can just edit the existing notes to add a translation.

How to create new a note on mobile? I thought we can’t.

You can't, at least that I know of. Just checked to be sure. You can enter "translation mode" by tapping Add Note, but you can't actually create a note.

hmm, op said we can but ok that's what I thought.

My bad I thought the notes added on mobile stayed but I guess not. Still, are there any plans to add note creation to mobile? And what about the other solution I suggested about having desktop users create notes for the mobile users to fill?
