I have to say, I'm quite pleased with how the new Notes app has turned out.

Having been an avid Evernote user for a number of years, I was impressed enough to export some of these notes as a test to the new app, and so far so good. Syncing is far better than the previous service and I love the new features; they're handy for both work and leisure.

So I'm now considering just moving the rest over and be done with Evernote. Is anyone else in the same predicament? Would love to hear your experiences so far. Some improvements I'd like to see:

- Collapsable folders on iOS version
- Drawing input on OS X version.

Unfortunately those two features are not available in the platform you specify.

And I would prefer using OneNote since I have a full 365, although iPhone version doesn't include handwriting feature.

i've always used Notes. the only thing i can't stand: not being able to keep my notes in alphabetical order (on my mac, and the iphone). seems this could, at least, be an option...

I use Evernote extensively to save web clips and webpages, but this is something Notes doesn’t support at all. It’s easy to just save something in Evernote while you’re browsing the web and it’s fully indexed locally. I also find the text formatting options too limited, in particular I miss an option to remove text formatting and to covert text into monospaced text. I also would like to have some basic support for tables. Evernote doesn’t do all that much either in comparison to OneNote, but it clearly has the edge over Notes.

Until Notes allows you to save PDFs, I'm sticking with Evernote.

Do you mean export as PDF?
