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.
I use it for a lot purpose, from typical notes to pins for cards, user + pass since iOS don’t remember user / pass from different platforms etc.
If you hate your notes and want them deleted once a day, please use this app

Apple, this is just embarassing! The app's undo option (aka shake the tablet like an idiot) sometimes works, sometimes doesn't (especialy great when the intention to undo should cover the apps bug where it eats half of the links when copy-pasting from one note to another). The sync between iPhone an iPad erases parts of the notes, whole notes dissapear without recovery option etc.. This is just the most unreliable carelessly made idiotic app I have ever seen! Apple, shame on you! Like you just don't care. And thank you for eating 70% of my REALY important notes, without any option of recovery. Shame on you again! Bad bad, lazy Apple...
This app will randomly delete your notes

This app randomly deleted notes I had been working on for days, and there's no way to recover them. I’ve read that others have experienced the same issue, even a couple of years ago, and it’s shocking to me that Apple still hasn’t fixed this problem. Not only is the app difficult to use and extremely hard to figure out, but it also constantly glitches and keeps crashing. It’s incredibly disappointing. I just wish I had known this before, so I hope this helps someone: unless you’re willing to risk losing hours of your work, DO NOT USE THIS APP.
Worst note app

Only thing that this app needs to do is to input text and synchronize and allow quick access. Still, when you access it from browser, it requires login with phone authentication every week as it logs you out for no reason. It makes you waste 2 minutes of your time for absolutely no reason. As apple don’t want their quality engineer to spare some time and help imbeciles at notes development team that cant handle one high school level task, me as a customer dont want to waste my time either so i switched to google keep and im thrilled with it.
