    In this comprehensive video, I’ll explain how you can use Apple Notes as a pro on your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook. Learn to organize your life, or simply use the handy tricks in this video to write down your thoughts in a more efficient way.

      Apple Notes … but it can get *really* flakey.
      URLs in a note have a hair-trigger: tapping on the other side of the screen can even launch a website accidentally. That’s made even worse because of the invisible extended boundaries on URLs.
      The Find in Notes got less flakey with iOS 16, but is still a randomness to which of a dozen occurrences Find shows first: first occurrence, last, in the middle?
      The handoff between Find in different notes and Find within a note is clumsy: if the are multiple occurrences in one note only one occurrence shows, no indication of multiple occurrences, no automatic launch of Find within a Note.
      Autoscrolling during a drag selection has been a problem of being too fast & really jumpy but that’s been less of an issue with iOS 16.

      Apple Notes is my default choice. I use it extensively. The new tags feature is extraordinarily useful. I use Notion as a heavy-lifting notes app when I want to organise a lot of information, for example, for teaching.

    Learned a few tips from this. I have used Notes for years and throughly enjoy it and find it extremely useful. Just the simple sharing of our “errands” note allows our family members to add to the shopping list. We go into the note listed by store and delete the items as we shop. No more forgetting stuff! That is just one example.

    Good content! I never leave feedback on presentation choices, but since you seem open and responsive to feedback, these changes would make your content more watchable: no shaky windows, minimal intrusive sound effects, speak a little slower, use onscreen text to reinforce your points, use chapters to make it easier to rewatch specific sections. Most of all: please get rid of the creepy talking emoji head. I had to block that part of my screen whenever it appeared. As others said: good content, clearly visualized, is what your viewers want. Thanks from a frequent user of Notes.

I use it a lot every day, and theses sudden screen scrolls are killing me! I complete lose focus having to search with my eyes where was I before the whole text just moved by itself. If this was an update, I sure hope they bring back a more stable screen experience in Notes.

    the thing that frustrates me about notes is when sharing a note it removes the tags from everyone else. E.g. I have a note that contains future purchases for diy projects on my note I have it tagged with the store where I want to purchase items from. When I go to the store I can open a Smart Folder with the tag of the store and I see all future purchases for any of the future projects. If my wife opens the shared purchase list there are no tags so she cannot see what else may be purchased from the store.

I would be taking my hand written apple pen notes, then poof, they disappear. They say it is an icloud synchronization glitch. It does not happen all the time. But the times it has happened, I lost a lot of notes. You cannot undo it and it does not go into the trash. It just disappears. Other than that, it is a great app.

    I utilize Apple Notes for crafting grocery lists, which I then share with my family. Additionally, we collaborate on various notes for tasks such as vacation trip planning, managing payments, and maintaining subscription lists. However, at the office where Windows and Microsoft Office are the primary tools, I use OneNote. Meanwhile, my son utilizes Evernote at school because it allows him to insert pictures and annotate around them-an option not yet available in Apple Notes.Another drawback I encounter with Apple Notes is the inability to resize inserted images.

For that matter you can’t even resize a photo! Honestly to my needs even Freeform is a better note taking app! I only find notes useful for tiny tidbits of information like measurements, or information that needs to be shared and collaborated like travel itinerary. For actually fully functional learning and planning notes doesn’t do it.
