Notes vs Evernote
Notes is a highly simplified version of Evernote.
Apple Notes
Notes is perfect for when you need to note something down quickly. It's very basic, which can be both a good and bad thing.
Evernote
Consider Evernote if you start getting annoyed by limitations of Notes. Evernote is a powerful note-taking app, supporting a wide range of ways to capture and organize various notes, todos and ideas. It is a lot more versatile than Notes, but also more complicated and less polished.
