How has action memo been working for you?

I was thrilled to see this option because it was something that I felt missing from the note 2. However, even if I write down the name, address and phone number properly, when I add the note to contacts the phone always stuffs the address into the name field, not the address field. Am I missing something here?

Yes, you're missing that it also fails with email and text. It puts your memo into the address field of an email, and the memo simply disappears if you try to text. Apparently Maps can distinguish a location whose name is mashed together with no spaces, so that works. And if you write nothing more than the name of a calendar entry, it's a way of starting a calendar entry. But given the ease of my calendar app and using voice search for mapping, this app is totally useless. I haven't tried S-Search because I use Google Gesture Search. I'd use S-Search if Action Memo weren't useless.

They cleverly made S-Note useless by making it so much work to perform the actions of Action Memo. Action Memo and S-Note should be merged, and more importantly, fixed.

I agree it needs fixed and merged with S-notes. I kept thinking I was missing something because I would forget about it and still use my S-notes, finally today I took time to really get into it and what it could/couldn't do. I wasn't impressed. And there's no way to use the eraser without losing the whole letter or number. And the first time I tried a phone number it worked, the next time, it tried to add a part number written out of the circle to the phone number. I'm going back to S-notes. Now if they'd just fix THAT eraser!
