Who actually asked for the writing correction?
I have loved using Notes since it came out. I use it with my Apple Pencil. I find it really useful. It’s the best app on your iPad. It’s one of the most useful, ever since you’ve done the update to iOS 18. There are now these blue lines underneath my handwritten words. I find that so frustrating because I just wanna turn that off. I’m happy that my handwriting is messy. It’s not for anyone else. It’s just for me and now I have to contest with this stupid blue underline From you guys suggesting a different word when I’ve clearly handwrote it. I just wanna be able to turn it off next update, please make sure we can turn this off. I didn’t ask for it. I don’t think anyone asked for it. Just get rid of it. I didn’t pay for this iPad and Apple Pencil so that I could label my data for you.

Won’t complain
I enjoy notes because I am the type of person that would have a smorgasbord of post-its , pieces of paper,napkins,etc EVERYWHERE!!!!!! I have so many ideas,things to remember to do or look into more in depth at a later time and so on and so forth. So having a central place to jot down all of these thoughts and such is wonderful it’s dated and time stamped so it’s way more organized. I’m glad that it’s already an app that comes with the phone so that you don’t have to worry about loosing your information. And you also have the option to save your information on your phone or in your cloud. Oh and now you have the ability to use the calculator (do you know how many times I have had numbers to calculate and need to remember!!!!) you can also save just about anything videos web pages PDF files photos and more and that REALLY is cool if you want to remember something about those things also. I have not looked into if you’re able to do anything else but now that I am writing this I am going to do so right now.

I Love it! I Love it! I… think there are some improvements needed.
Let me start this off right by saying that I LOVE the notes app. I use it for everything. For writing stories, songs, EVEN FOR TELLING MYSELF WHAT TO DO TOMORROW, I tend to use it a LOT. But I just have 2 issues with it. So, when you have a folder inside a folder (or subfolder for short), it would be nice if inside the main folder you could see the subfolder. Almost as if it was a document. Of course, it would probably be like shorter or something to differentiate it from a actual note. Anyways, you would be able to click on it to open the subfolder and then once you are in the subfolder you could click on a arrow somewhere in the top left corner, and you would be back to the main folder. This would just be a nice quality of life change. The 2nd thing is also quality of life, but also something a little more universal then something that just triggers my OCD 😂. It is the fact that people have to EXCEPT a shared note for it to be something they can edit. My friends aren’t great at this so it would just be nice if it would be a feature that you could just manually add them instead of having to wait for them to except the invitation. Bark out, Dozard87.

Too many issues
I pay for iCloud+ and I am full in the Apple ecosystem owning an iPhone 13 Pro Max, M1 iPad Pro, M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14”, and more hoping for a seamless and flawless experience. However, that has not been the case with the Apple Notes app which I rely heavily on in college to take handwritten notes with the Apple Pencil on PDFs. First, my biggest gripe is the iCloud Sync issues where hours of progress are not saved. Second, for some reason, when using the Apple Pencil, my M1 iPad Pro gets extremely hot and the battery life drains like crazy. Third, the app frequently crashes for no reason at all. You would think an app made by Apple would be better than this, but it is not. I have researched online and many other people have these frustrating issues with no solution to give. There are countless posts to Apple Support, but they do not help at all. I have even submitted several reports on the Feedback app as I have a developer account, but none of my concerns have been addressed. I understand that alternatives like Goodnotes and Notability exist, but I hold a strong opinion against subscription services unless they are absolutely necessary. Please Apple, fix these issues. I KNOW you know they exist. You have the most intelligent software engineers in the world so this should be a piece of cake to solve. Many loyal customers including myself have been getting increasingly frustrated. This is simply unacceptable from one of the largest tech companies on the planet.

Notes to remember
I use notes for so many things. Lots of sections in my notes, one of the things I really like on my iPhone
iOS 18 update
There is an issue with the indentation. I am working on Notes with numbered list and when I push “enter” the indentation and spacing is getting all confused it’s not organized correctly. I’ve been working on the same notes for many years and until this update had not had a problem. I’m doing the same thing I always do when it comes to pressing Enter. Please contact me and get this issue resolved as it is really becoming a problem for me to work on the work that I am doing. Up until this update. I have been super pleased with Notes. I am in contact with my web designer often and need to be able to relay the work that I am doing for my project with them. When I’m screen sharing, I share with them what I am working on in Notes. Please resolve this in the next update like yesterday! Please contact me so I know how to move forward and I can work on my project without the screen being completely screwed up. I have had numerous help with Apple support. I really don’t like to leave negative reviews. But ever since the iOS 18 update I have had lots of problems with the Note app…. When I hit the space button and return button the indentations of things all over the place. Please help!

Great but malfunctioning…
I love this app and, probably like many others, write weird stories in it. (Maybe, I’m not sure) So, in order to give myself privacy, I set a password on my especially weird ones. But, I also happened to put on Face ID, so I though that I didn’t really have to use the password since I had Face ID. How very wrong I was. So it turns out that, just today, while I was attempting to go into my notes to write in a story I was working on, I didn’t get the Face ID option, but instead got the password option. I tried and tried again to get the password correct but I couldn’t do it, so I went to settings and decided to change the password there. So I got rid of the OG password and made a new one. It didn’t work. I tried to take off the tab, that didn’t work. I reset the password again. That didn’t work. I switched the Face ID off and then back on again. That didn’t work. So then I made a whole new note and THEN IT LET ME USE FACE ID. What is happening, and can you please fix this, it was a really long note and I don’t want to have to rewrite it by memory. (Because I don’t have a good memory, and like I said, IT WAS A REALLY LONG NOTE) Please can I have this working properly again soon, thank you. (Also this was very annoying to type because of the new feature on my phone where it ‘improves my eyesight’, I already wear glasses, why do I need this?!)

botched highlighting with ipados18
the new highlighting lacks yellow and seems to alter font colour as well ? is this a bug. Also, in the select format text options dialogue, highlighting missing and only accessible through the Aa text button, but only for new text - not old text from previous version. Either the added formatting functions are buggy and botched, untested prior to production release, or some weird logic that doesnt make sense . Hopefully will get fixed very soon.

Needs extras
I love this app, however I feel that it needs more features. Tired of the old black/white and yellow. Example, being able to change font colors, font type, highlighter or even background colours I guess or changing color of the main points instead of yellow and all sorts, would be so impressed if there’s an update like this in the future I am sure there’s a lot of others who will agree with me.

Needs extras!
I have used this app for many years and loved it but now I have realised it’s not giving me the added extras that I need, for example: the option to change font colours and highlight words, so now I have to find another app that has those capabilities. I hope you update this app and when you do this will be my main ‘notes’ app again.
