    Great review! I'm a 15 year user of Evernote, but now that I'm retired I don't like Evernotes continual rise in price. I exported all my Evernotes into PDF, then uninstalled it in favor of Apple Notes. Up until now, I've not paid for Apple iCloud. But if my Notes storage gets larger, Apple's Cloud storage is far cheaper than Evernotes yearly cost.

    I have a folder in Apple Notes that I named Wallet and this is where I store individual photos of my loyalty cards, library card, etc., so I don’t have to keep key tags or full sized cards. I open Apple Notes, open my Wallet folder, touch the file with my CVS card and hold my phone up for the clerk to scan. It works every time.

    I tested the limits of Apple Notes in terms of memory. I wanted to transform into a note this big file I had, the full 614 pages of a dictionary I summarized. And I was astounded: no problem whatsoever, the note is fully functional, no slowing down as I scroll into it.

    I am a doctoral student and I use Apple Notes extensively while doing research. I keep two screens open on my iPad at one time-the article I'm reading and Apple Notes. Using smart notes I can organize my research and quickly find it when needed. I use Apple Notes in my personal life as well. The checklist feature is great for grocery lists. Once you tap on an item, it goes to the bottom of the list but is still there for the next shopping trip. In my work I use the scan document feature to turn in time sheets and other documentation. I agree with you that the Smart note feature is a great search tool.

    Another great integration is between Notes and Reminder. Highlight any text in a noter, chose Share, select Reminder and add tags, dates etc to the reminder. I use that to add and share our dinner plan with the Today filter so I know whats on the menu today - simple but effective 😅

    FYI, if you hold the Apple Pencil stroke (stop moving it, but don’t lift it from the iPad surface) at the end of creating certain markups (circle, arrow, straight line, heart, triangle, square, heart, etc) it will create a ‘perfect’ version of said object .. in your example, you would have had a couple of arrows, a square, and straight lines of highlight color on your text ..

    I have been an Apple Notes fan since the first day I bought my first iPhone. I’ve always appreciated the simplicity of it.
    That said, I have also tried so many note taking type apps because they had the one or more shiny things than Apple’s. No matter what new shiny object other apps have, I end up transferring those notes back to Apple.
    Great job on your story telling of Apple Notes. I even learned about the option to capture text. Thank you.

    Have you considered discussing the Reminders app?
    I found the most amazing thing when I set a reminder for a specific location (like when I drive past a certain store on my way home).
    You can actually increase or decrease the radius from that location so you get the reminder a little sooner and not too late (like when you are passing said store).
    It was brilliant!

      I also use reminders for shopping for groceries. You can create an entire list of every grocery item you buy over time and mark them all as completed. Then when you need something you just open the list, click the item needed again and it immediately moves to the top of the list which can then be checked off when you pick it up.

    The most powerful thing about this app is the simplicity.

Apple notes gives me the sense of reliability that I can forget about the app and focus on making notes, instead of constantly searching for the best solution.

    I choose to use Notes as the main app.
    Most powerful features:
    1. Password - with FaseID is working strongly and efficiently.
    2. Folders - the most convenient way to organize your notes.
    3. Scanner - for work and personal life I scan a lot of documents and convert them to PDF, then sync them into Google Drive.
    4. Simplicity - you have what you need to simply start work.
    Weaknesses:
    1. Simplicity too ;) I need some more editor instruments (color pallets, link organizer, etc.)
    2. Synchronization - maybe this is personal, but my iPhone XR and iPad 2022 don’t synchronize properly from time to time.
    3. Unity with Reminders and Calendar - it will be a lot useful, like we have in Google (Gmail / Keep / Calendar / To-Do)
    Eventually, Notes is a powerful personal productivity tool.

    Hi Steve. Thanks for this. Once I’d tried Apple notes, I stopped trawling the other apps out there - life’s too short !! Been using it for a few years now, and more than satisfied with its functionality and seamless sync to my other devices. I particularly appreciate the locked notes and scan features.

    For me, it’s sharing of notes with my wife regularly. I can’t easily replicate that with 3rd party tools. So simple, yet the power of that feature alone is priceless for me.

    Great video! I use Apple notes exclusively and find it adequate for my needs. Love the ability to ( now ) insert Links and pictures. What I didn’t know was the integrated scanning of text and documents feature that you showed us. Thanks for that. And although I knew about Siri, I had not thought about using it within notes, to get a note started. Keep up the good work!

    The Hey Siri feature is one I would have loved 20 years Ago while working with ex-Toyota Consultants on conversion to a Lean Production system. I used to follow these men around the factory floor while trying to handwrite my notes in a composition pad. So often this was done I was while walking and the result was messy writings.
    I have taken those notes and am now reading them into thenNotes app. But translating my scribblings is sometimes difficult. Being able to add pics of examples to my notes would have been a remarkable benefit, as well.

    I have been using Microsoft OneNote for over 15 years. I think it does, and has forever, all of this and more. I use it mainly in a business scenario but it does personal stuff obviously. The camera integration using an iphone may be better with this, but I don't do that much. One thing I do all the time is "print to OneNote" using the print driver. This allows pdf email attachments, which I get all the time, to be organized and processed through OCR in the OneNote search index. This, for me, has been a daily use since 2008 and has been an enormous advantage. I know Apple people like Apple stuff, but all of your key points (have to see about the camera) OneNote has done all that for a very long time.

    I personally love tags, It makes it possible to skip using folders, instead you can implement a system (I use PARA) to organize your content without dragging and dropping, simply type # and your tag name, hit the space button and voila, you're done. Also scanned documents and text in pictures is searchable. Using apple notes for documentation archive is awesome!

      Sounds interesting but I would hate being stuck in the Apple ecosystem. Apple is number one now, but I remember when other phones, like Palm Treo product lines and Centro. I copy and pasted all of my Palm Treo notes to my new BlackBerry.. Also, not to forget about the Blackberry. They were the most popular smart phone of all at the time. I used their built in Notes app. It worked very well and I had hundreds of notes back then. Also just to mention, BlackBerry had excellent wireless backup and sync. BUT as early as 2010-2011…. somewhere around then, I got the touchscreen bug, like most everyone else. I opted for an Android. The problem was All of my notes were stuck in the Blackberry ecosystem. The only way I could think of to get my notes out, was to painstakingly copy and paste out all of my notes into Google Documents. About a year after that, I was missing a BlackBerry again. New problem, was also an old problem. Now my notes were stuck in the Google ecosystem. I finally turned to Evernote, around 2012. It was cross platform, on BB, Android, and iPhone. I painstakingly copied my notes into Evernote then. Ever since then, I have owned more BB, countless Android phones, and a couple of iphones. My notes are always with me now, no matter which phone line I choose. I'm sure Apple notes is excellent, but I just don't want to be trapped again. Good luck to you all, no matter which app you choose. I love Steve's videos. That's why I'm here.

    The Three things that keep me in the Apple Ecco system are iMessage, Airdrop and Apple Messages. Apple Messages being the main reason. I use these features all of the time. Making a note with Siri on the fly wherever I am is so convenient and quite accurate. Scanning is so useful too. I use it probably more than anything else in notes. I also have found that using tags more and more is a good way to keep track and to search as you mentioned. Tags become more helpful the more notes you have. Locking notes is a great feature especially when you need it. Great video!

When preparing Bible studies in Spanish available only in the English language, I simply scan or copy, then proceed to use Google translate unto the Spanish language. I have to proofread the translation since sometimes it doesn’t quite translate it properly. It saves me tons of time. I use the Spanish version of the Bible on specific Biblical texts since Google Translate is not set up for this specific task. Thank you for sharing your info. ☕️☕️👍

    I will expand my use of Apple Notes after watching your presentation. Thanks. The one frustration I have with Notes is that too many times I search for a particular note and Notes only shows me the top line and /or any option to create a new note seems to be frozen. The online recommendation is to reboot the phone, but when you are needing the information NOW it is a big pain to have to reboot the phone. I.e you are in store and you need to share an address or some instructional information that you stored in Notes. Hopefully Apple will create a fix.
