Notes

Take note of almost anything

Published by: Apple

Description

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.
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.
Take notes anywhere
• Just swipe with an Apple Pencil or finger from the bottom-right corner on any compatible iPad to start a Quick Note outside the app. You can also use Fn-Q (Globe-Q) on a keyboard or create Quick Notes on iPhone from the share menu in an app.
• Add deep links from an app or website to a Quick Note to mark your place.
Certain features are available only in selected languages and regions.

Add custom orders pls

S_99721 on

Literally my most used app; I spend hours on there writing and noting down ideas, but one thing has always bugged me and it’s the fact that when you create a folder, you can’t have a custom order to organise the notes inside. I don’t want to sort them by date edited, created or title, I want to organise them in a certain manner and there’s no way to do that. It’s such a small thing but it would make all the difference. Please add this in the next update.

Just the job

This has to be one of if not the most useful apps, not a day goes by where I fail to use it several times a day.

Would be lost without Notes

Such a relief to be able to write thoughts down immediately and retrieve them months later, all filed and easily accessed. Don’t ever change ir or take it away, please.

Scans to .pdf file size

MurphySmith on

United Kingdom

PLEASE FIX THE SCAN FUNCTION OF THIS APP. Scanning to pdf no longer works correctly or as it used to. Now scanning creates a massive file which quite often can’t be emailed due to its size. Where it used to create a pdf of a few 100kb they’re now many MBs. Please fix this. Switching to greyscale doesn’t work, file size still 3-6 MB not 5-900kb as it was before. Do any Apple developers actually read this or are we wasting our time?

So easy

I like this as it suits my needs and is so easy to use

Good on phone, laggy on iPad

PinkAndAnnoying on

United Kingdom

I use Notes a lot on my phone to take notes and remember things, I also do the same with my iPad but because I have more on my iPad I use it more and there is more data. Unfortunately, on my iPad, it has started to lag because of how much I use it. The keyboard is really slow and deleting is difficult. Please fix your bugs and glitches because this is ruining my experience with your app.

Lost Everything!

safari1963 on

I’ve used this app for years and 1 day recently everything disappeared. All my notes curated over years just vanished. Went of loads of forums and tried everything but to no avail. Extremely upset and frustrated. I’m starting again on another app.
