Word and PowerPoint gain Split View, trackpad support coming to Office for iOS by the fall

Keeping true to its promise, Microsoft yesterday updated its Word and PowerPoint productivity apps on the App Store with the ability to open two documents in a side-by-side view on iPad via Split View multitasking support. The Excel app did not pick up Split View support at post time, however. Microsoft has also acknowledged that it's working on implementing iPadOS trackpad support for the Office suite, but don't expect to be taking advantage of it before the fall.

StickyNote is a macOS-inspired note-taking tweak for iOS

If you’ve ever used a Mac before, then you already know about the Stickies app that comes pre-installed by Apple from the factory. This app lets you jot down lists or thoughts directly on your desktop for easy reference later on, and it got some of us thinking… why doesn’t iOS have a feature like this?

Well now it does, and it’s all thanks to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed StickyNote by iOS developer Gabriel Siu.
