Note is a useful tool.Unfortunately, if you delete by mistake, you lose everything. Note needs to be able to preserve content.

This used to be one of the reasons why I remained in the apple ecosystem. You would put down notes and rely on it to sync across all your apple devices. With the latest updates, I have lost over 600 notes that were on my iPads and iPhones. The only place where they still are is on the macbook. I have done everything they advise to do from logging out icloud on all devices to hard resetting the devices all to no avail. In short, Notes has simply stopped working. All the devices are running the latest software updates and versions of Notes but interestingly Quick Notes only appear on some and not all devices yet its the same version of the app with the same exact settings!

I have an iPad Air 6th Gen M2, barely two months old. Whenever I use the notes app, i barely write for fifteen minutes before my iPad overheats seriously, to the point the screen feels like it’s burning. The battery drains extremely fast as well, sometimes losing 50% in 3 minutes. The writing starts to lag, with words appearing after i have already finished writing with the pen. This isn’t feasible at all. I am on the latest iOS update (iOS 18.2). This needs to be sorted out ASAP.

In 16.2 the app causes the iPad to heat up. The lag when writing is annoying. This lag sometimes doesn’t even translate to a written note. It could sometimes flash notes previously written in a blank page, overlaying wheat you’re trying to write that just won’t be written. The new additions, fountain pen and what not are fantastic. And I am looking forward to using them in a more bug free update.
