Best Yet !

Between the features and the easy access / use I love this app ! Been using it since I first got an iPhone and more then often these past few years ! It’s my diary, calendar, alarm, notebook, goals, aspirations, dreams, etc ! The privacy available, the updates making it better and better with more features and didn’t change the way you use it which is where most apps downfall, but this one fixes bugs and adds features while staying authentic and original to itself 😮‍💨🙏🏽🤞🏽🫶🏽 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! I share notes that can be opened from any device with it installed and add / remove / edit the note with notations and adjustments as needed and it can be shared unlimited to unlimited sources. Excited about the growth of this app and happy to share and recommend it ! Get it is worth it ! From taking down numbers names info over phone calls rather then looking for a writing utensil and paper ads risking losing it hallelujah thank you Jesus amen 🙏🏽 its my handy dandy notebook accessible at all times in all places with dates and times, my only recommendation for the creators is a time stamp history for editing the app and the option of viewing all edits on notes. Besides that I’m extremely satisfied .

Good place to vent 👍👍

I ❤️NOTES

I just got 📝 notes and as a 17 year old it’s very good for school I think you could try it just tap or copy any thing you want and it’s there I almost forgot my friends birthday party and I remembered because of notes you may ask well what if you miss the notes or forget that the note is there on your phone well you can just put the date in for when you need it and a alarm will go off telling you for a example I need to go to my friends birthday party on 10 July a alarm will go off my friends birthday isn’t actually then but it is soon and notes has been a life changer you should write a review two 💕💕💕

All time classic - Notes IOS app never disappoints

To be fair, it’s kind of pointless to leave review on this app. I cannot think of an iOS user, who a) doesn’t use Notes on a daily basis b) using Notes but doesn’t like/enjoy it. Super user friendly, excellent options that help you organise your notes, super easy access, if you use more than one device you don’t even notice how fast is the syncing, I love the brushes especially after the new ones, the ruler is super useful and I like that is lined as sometimes I need to count or need to choose of a reference point, colours palette decent.

Lots of room for improvement in blending typed wording with drawings as at the moment this is not optional.

Smart interfering with the user might be a good option. For example to get suggestions of creating a reminder based on the note I just took or create a calendar event. Don’t know if those things can practically be done but if I take GTP as an example they seem pretty easy hehe

Nice app but room for improvement…

I really like taking notes with this app for my homework assignments. Yet I think there’s room for improvement for one thing it would be nice to be able to combine and entire notes that are similar and I cannot find a function for that. I know there is a copy function, but is limited to the size not the entire document. Would be great if Apple could find a way to allow users to copy entire notes to another note for instance if I have notes on a science project, and I want to insert some definitions from another assignment, and I have a whole page to copy, it would be nice to be able to copy the entire document into my science project. Another improvement would be to provide a direct PDF function in notes so that note could be copied as a nice looking page versus a column. The column setting is also annoying in the email settings. Would be great if the PDF function would copy the note along the span of the iPad device. Those would be great additions to the app and hopefully Apple will consider update to add those features if they don’t take up too much room or data on the device.

Deeply frustrated

I have been using the notes app as a complete replacement of a pen and paper notebook for almost three years. I do all my everyday note taking for work, including minutes of important meetings, in the notes app. I has been almost perfect and I chose it over other third party apps because I loved the handwriting experience from the beginning, the simplicity and the native capability to sync with my iPhone and Macbook.

However, in the last six months I have come across two problems. The first seems like a small bug, which I expected would have been fixed by now, this being that when you insert space between handwritten text you can no longer do so with precision because the text ‘jumps’ the moment you release it. This should be a small fix and it is frustrating that it has been present for so long. The second issue is much worse. It has now happened several times that after I have finished taking notes and left the application, when I return a big chunk of my notes have disappeared and I have e no way of retrieving this crucial information. Each time it happened it didn’t happen again for a while, just long enough for me to believe the issue is resolved but just when I least expect it, it happens again. This is a costly flaw and I am seriously having to consider an alternative note taking app.

Simple and usable

I personally enjoy the simplicity of this application but from further observation l’ve come to the conclusion that the app is too simple. You see this app comes with you’re iPad or iPhone but there is certainly not enough options such as fonts, size, and all the options you would normally get and so l feel that this application needs to add more options and such.

I really don’t want to complain or come off as rude but I must admit the fact the app is too simple there are not enough options or choices to make sure you’re notes are to you liking or standards. I know others would argue l’m being picky but really there’s not much you can do the only thing possible is that you can write a title to the appropriate size

The only thing that is appealing to me is that you don’t get any adds but no app like this has ads so overall the app is too simple.

I Have had it!!!

Past couple of updates have made this unusable! Again I've just lost 2 hours of note just because it decided to just make them disappear. Its been complained about all over the net for years and apple doesn't seem to care because every update seems to fix everything but the damn notes problems! Ill be looking for other apps to use, im seriously considering selling my ipad and apple stuff because im so tired of this being a consistent problem. What happened to the company that made amazing products?

A few minor things could make this the best app

I use notes all the time, I have notes shared with people for various things. I wish there was a little more creative freedom with the app.
Colour coding notes would be good. I have many lists relating to my daughter and partner and would love to make the notes certain colours for easier identification.
Google keep has various layout options for notes and think something similar could strengthen Apple notes, and make it more user friendly.
