Notes is the best place to jot down quick thoughts or to save longer notes filled with to-do lists, images, web links, scanned documents, and sketches. And with iCloud, it’s easy to keep all your enabled devices in sync, so you’ll always have your notes with you.

Features

• Create a new note with just a tap.
