Something that Apple Notes is particularly good at is categorisation, with a range of folders and subfolders you can use to organise your notes. You can also ask Siri to jot down a note, or search through your notes for you. You can jot down notes, create a checklist (look for the tick mark icon at the bottom) and even add annotations, photos and tables with the icons at the bottom of the screen. Apple Notes gets the job done, it has some nifty features, and syncs up across devices. It’s one of the most basic options out there, but it’s already on your iPhone, iPad or Mac so is a good place to start for the basics. This is our pick of the best note-taking apps, ranging from free to paid, with so many functions that you might find they start replacing other apps too.
