When it comes to organizing and finding notes, Simplenote offers tags, which let you tag similar notes so that it’s easier to find them in your notes list. Similarly, sharing your note with others to collaborate on it is another useful feature and comes in handy when you want to share your idea with others or brainstorm with them on one. As its name suggests, this feature keeps a record of all the different versions of a note and lets you restore a version at any time. One of the best features of Simplenote is note history. In addition, you can also access Simplenote on the web, should there ever be a need to do so. So long as you have a data connection, your notes are fully searchable within a few minutes.Simplenote syncs your notes across all your devices automatically, and since it’s a cross-platform notes app, you can use it on even non-Apple devices. The only downside is you need to have a data connection on your iOS device in order for OneNote to do its magic of deciphering your handwriting. But where OneNote pulls ahead of Notes is that a search also sorts through your handwritten notes, thanks to handwriting recognition. The Notes app offers a search field to find information tucked away into a document, as does OneNote. You can type or scrawl, and everything is searchable. The iPhone version of OneNote lacks this feature, but that makes sense given the smaller screen size-you wouldn’t really be able to see what you’re writing with your hand in the way. Not to mention, the doodles you inevitably end up drawing in the margins will look better than ever.Īll jokes aside, the ability to jot down notes without tapping away on a keyboard is a valuable feature OneNote excels at. With options to change the marker type and color, you can get as fancy with notes as you’d like. OneNote for iPad, you can jot down notes, or circle and highlight important bits of information, as you would on a piece of paper.
