This is an amazing notes app with folders, pictures, drawings, and lots of text options while still being pretty easy to use. HOWEVER, after a recent update the app now crashes every time you open it, and I can not access any of my notes. Edit: After 2 months of crashes I finally gave up and uninstalled the app. After reinstalling it now works again, but I lost all my notes.

Notes is great! I use it exactly as it says, for notes. Things like a number, I don't need to save in my contacts. A license plate number. Phone calls I need to return or make. Personal medical notes for the doctore. Quick access to digital cards or business image's. Everything can be organized into folders. No need to find a paper and pen or worry about losing that paper later!

My favorite to-do & note-taking app. I always make lists (for many different reasons) or just need to take a quick note sometimes, and Im able to easily do almost anything I want on here to personalize each one. Make lists, docs, tables, add pics, jot notes, change font, color, size, etc., or also share as a PDF, a document, a pic, or just the text.
