    Having to Duplicate Actions in Notes to Make It Update/Save

    Since upgrading to High Sierra, whenever I update a note in Notes, it will always delete my entry and revert back to what it was before my update. Only after I enter data a SECOND TIME does it "stick." Anybody else seen this bug?

    Can you search within a note you're already reading?

    Probably an oft-asked question, but once you're reading a note in iOS, can you search within it? All of the guides on the internet just tell you how to search ALL of your notes. But on the desktop version of Notes, you can search within notes, which is super useful for longer ones: Sure...

    What happened to the OS11 Notes utility!!!

    I use the Notes utility regularly and have recently been forced by Apple to update to OS11. The new version of this tool is all but useless as several of the features (like forward/backward keys & basic punctuation marks in the ‘turned’ menu) have now gone. The whole utility has a different feel...

    App for Note in Sidebar

    I want an app in the sidebar that contains editable text. Basically, if there's five things that I want to do today, I want to add them into the sidebar and remove them when I've done them. I tried searching in the App Store, but I couldn't find such an App. Any recommendations?

    Is it possible to have a different app respond to no-login-tap?

    I don't think so, an I couldn't find a solid answer. I want to use Noteablity as my default all in one note taking app. I would like to be able to tap the iPad Pro lock screen and add notes without logging in, just like the build in Notes app. Is that possible? Where would you enable it?

    App for cases

    Hello, I’ll go straight to the point. I’m looking for an app (free or paid), which I will use for my ongoing project. Every day I’m writting at least one medical case with some text and pictures included. So I will write a new “file” with a new patient, which will go in a predetermined folder...

    You know what's super frustrating?

    When Apple doesn't get the small details right. Arghhh. If you have long-ish notes in the Notes app that pre-date macOS High Sierra, be careful. You might see this:

    iOS iOS search in 10.3.3 is finding data in locked notes

    I was searching for something else on my iPhone by using the pull down search facility from the home screen. I was horrified for some confidential data to pop up in the search box, from within a locked note. I double checked and the data was definitely in the body of the locked note, not in the...

    iPad Formatting tools in Notes?

    While editing or creating a note in stock Notes app, i can’t find the formatting tools that used to be there. I only get the option to add a checkmark or add a drawing/scan. Are those gone for everyone or have they moved to a place I can’t find them? I’m on public beta 5 on an ipad 12.9.

    iPhone Notes from syncing has weird font and formatting

    I created an Exchange account on my iPhone SE and sync'd notes with my Windows PC. On the PC, AkrutoSync acted as the Exchange server. The odd thing is that even though notes created on the iPhone have the default font (looks like Helvetica or Arial), the notes that sync'd with Exchange server...

    Notes export

    Wondering if there's a way to bulk-export notes yet (or back them up, aside from via time machine).

    iPad Note app with templates & layers?

    I'm looking for a note taking app with templates & layers. This way, I can use the graphs or dot matrix to keep my writing legible, but then remove the graph/dot/lines, and have my writing appear on a blank page, without graph, lines, etc. Hope that makes sense. Anything like this exists?

    Change Apple Notes background in 10.11?

    Howdy! I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to change the background in the Apple desktop Notes app. I'd like it to be on the darker side. Thanks! Paul

    ios 11. fonts issue in NOTES.

    hello, Correct me if I'm wrong but when I read my list of notes in NOTES app, I can see a slight drop shadow on the top of the fonts which hurt the eyes after a long read. It is more apparent in the headers/titles. How do you remove this drop shadow on the fonts? How to improve the sharpness...

    Strategic question regarding Notes

    I have a bunch of hand-written notebooks with entries that are structured like a diary (with a date and a headline). I plan on transferring these over to Apple Notes so that they are better searchable and safer than in a physical notebook (which can get lost). Also, I plan on writing any future...

    Notes Downgrade

    I've been an Apple consultant for about 20 years. Things just seem to be getting worse and worse at Apple. Case in point: After updating my iphone to ios 10, I can no longer access all the text I had written into the Notes app. Instead, I'm presented with a screen with one button: "Upgrade...
