I use the Notes app on iOS. It's decidedly lacking in a lot of features that other richer apps have, BUT, it is the only thing that is constantly there, whenever I need it. It's followed me around for years on all my devices, and I can search through it rather easily.
For me, for the sort of quick/random thought logging, quick accessibility trumps features any day.
- Razengan 9y agoNotes is my backup/"scratchpad" as well, but it's impractical for me for the following reasons: — Too easy to accidentally edit notes. I've occasionally destroyed some notes by "butt dialing" when I forgot to turn off the phone and put it in my pocket, which caused them to be replaced by random text. To avoid that I have to password-protect and hide important notes, which is inconvenient if I don't necessarily need privacy on them. — Cannot view creation date, afaik, only modification. – If I ever cannot (or don't want to) use the Notes app then I can't access my notes. — Cannot add audio or link to arbitrary files on local storage. Can't link to other notes.
