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 your iCloud notes straight 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.

the app “notes” is absolutely amazing! I can write down a diary and I can stash a bunch of secrets or shopping lists. Overall I think this app is amazing but sometimes it just randomly deletes my notes I haven been on for a while—

Important Notes Disappeared

A week ago all my notes had disappeared, I didn’t delete them, it was in my “on your iPhone” folder and now there absolutely nothing in there. I had soo many priceless things in there, and now I’ve lost everything. I really wish there is a way to bring them back, I’ve searched about this issue online and it has happened to quite a few people, but no one seems to have found a solution to it. I hope Apple fixes this issue before it happens to more people. I know this ain’t that deep, but it still hurts knowing that I’ve lost valuable letters that where within notes. 😢🥺

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.

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.
