If you want a note taking and planner app that does everything - this is for you
frebe
It is packed with capabilities: construct a complex planner that interacts and displays your Apple Calendar events and Reminders, edit and create links in any PDF, detailed editing tools, customisable drawing tools and smooth drawing/writing. If you are happy working things out and customising, this app will work for you, but it's complex menus and commands are daunting if you just want a simple note taker. Once you work out how it all works it's awesome!
Most fully featured note taking app available

As far as I know (having scoured the App Store, trying everything I could find), ZoomNotes is far ahead of any other iPad note taking app in terms of feature set. The only place it may not be leading is in character conversion (compared to Nebo, for example). This massive feature set takes its toll on immediate usability (which is not necessarily helped by the interface design), but there are comprehensive tooltips and a detailed manual along with substantial UI customisability. So if you have the time to invest in learning your way around, it can become fairly easy to use (which, again, for this great a feature set is quite an accomplishment!)Hats off to the developers. One of my favourite iPad apps!
Great potential with many problems

I chose this app over all the others because it has the best potential functionality (integration with electronic diary updating and showing within pdf e-diaries) and the most calligraphy and writing pen options.But it takes several minutes to open, it crashes often, it loses my work, it saved duplicate versions then when I deleted one it deleted both etc. I hope the creators fix these issues and make it user friendly. As an ex senior Executive Assistant to heads of Government I’ve been seeking a means to integrate electronic dairies and still have the handwritten diary benefits and this is the closest I’ve found but it’s not an easy learning curve, it’s not intuitive design and it’s veery difficult making progress when it glitches and crashes often.
My favourite notes app

The options under the hood may be overwhelming, but they have their purposes. It has replaced Nebo, Goodnotes and Notability for me. I learned the app by referencing the 100+ page manual. I would be happy with a 1000 page manual cause I search for what I'm looking for. The layers, tabs and calendar setup and excellent OCR searching will probably keep this as my main app on the iPad. The support was quick and spot on when I had a query. Thanks for this excellent app dev.
Support for PDF annotation comments - long press and choose ‘Comment’. You can import pdf files with these comments in as well as export then to a PDF file.
Fix for youtube previews
Datable tag can now be used for calendar shapes on day pages
