Notes is the best place to jot down quick thoughts or to save longer notes filled with checklists, images, web links, scanned documents, handwritten notes or sketches. And with iCloud, it’s easy to keep all your devices in sync, so you’ll always have your notes with you. Features Powerful note-taking • Add attachments — PDFs, photos, maps, web links and more. • Record and transcribe audio directly into a note. • Scan paper documents with the built-in document scanner. • Secure sensitive or personal data in a locked note. • Create checklists. Make a shopping list, a wish list or a to-do list, then tap to tick off items as you go. • Apply different text styles, such as heading or body, bulleted lists, highlighting and more. • Tap next to section headers to reveal a chevron to collapse text. • Add tables to quickly organise information. • Use your finger, or Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad, to sketch directly in your note or an inline PDF. Choose from a variety of brush styles and colours, and add lines and grids to a note for easier writing and drawing. • Take a Quick Note without opening the app — add Quick Note to your Control Centre, swipe up from the bottom-right corner with an Apple Pencil on iPad, or use Fn-Q on a keyboard. Organise and search • Search for text in notes, your handwriting, and even inside scanned documents and photos like receipts or bills. • Link from one note to another to connect ideas, content or any information. Try typing >> for a shortcut to add links while writing in your note. • Keep your notes in folders and subfolders, or add tags to categorise them. Type or handwrite tags directly in your note — like #cooking or #expenses. • Automatically organise notes in a Smart Folder based on filters. Create rules to filter for Date Created, Checklists, Attachments and more. Collaborate • Collaborate on entire shared folders or on specific shared notes. • Mention friends to notify them of important updates and link them directly to a shared note. • See what others added to a shared note while you were away with Activity view, a day-to-day list summary of activity from each collaborator. Notes for Apple Watch • View all of your iCloud notes right from your wrist; you can also pin notes, complete checklist items, or create new notes with dictation or Siri. Certain features are available only in selected languages and regions.

Good to use but keeps lagging

Its such a good note taking app, especially since EVERYTHING is free, unlike other note taking apps where u have to pay to unlock the whole thing. There are lines and grids for uou to choose from, and personally, I love to use the pencil to write my notes, it rlly clicks with me. And, you could add attachments, everything, and u can type too! However, whenever I write my notes for school, especially hand written notes, and when I write too much, it would lag, then crash, so I have to click into it again and realise I lost like half of the notes that I was doing just now, like my handwritten things inside that note just magically disappeared! So, I have to rewrite all the things I have lost, which takes up so much time, especially since exams are just around the corner. This app is the best note taking app out there, but if the lag could be worked on, it would’ve been so so much better. It lagged so much that I could barely write sometimes, then will proceed to crash. Rlly rlly amazing app, its truly the best out there, but its just the lag and crash. Thank you!

Totally Amazingly Unbelievable

This app is so nice that it’s amazingly unbelievable! You can insert pictures, reminders, type notes and put numberings. It’s terrifically amazing! My iPad (which I’m using to type now) does not get hot even when I’m typing for one to two hours, and also my Dad’s iPhone. The creators of “Notes”, thank you so much for making this app, and I’m really grateful for that. Without your app, everyone would have to only rely on Samsung phones to type Notes, and it would be very inconvenient. Thank you so much! Stars and hearts are sent to you below.🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
