In Apple Math Notes, why can't you type a simple list of numbers, either in a table or in columnar format, like:

239.12

+242.33

+673.34

-------

=

And get an answer after the equals sign? (a la Soulver) Isn't this an obvious use case? Was Apple trying really hard not to copy Soulver's implementation?

You can type them one after another on the same line and get an answer, but that's bad for readability. I want to add up numbers in a column like Soulver and a spreadsheet lets you do, and do that inside Notes.

You can do this in Math Notes – scribble numbers in a column, underline it and boom, there is your result. Doesn't work in typed text though.

Thanks, at least you can do it with an Apple Pencil or your finger. Seems like more of a demo than a feature if you can’t do it with typed text too.
