I pay for iCloud+ and I am full in the Apple ecosystem owning an iPhone 13 Pro Max, M1 iPad Pro, M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14”, and more hoping for a seamless and flawless experience. However, that has not been the case with the Apple Notes app which I rely heavily on in college to take handwritten notes with the Apple Pencil on PDFs. First, my biggest gripe is the iCloud Sync issues where hours of progress are not saved. Second, for some reason, when using the Apple Pencil, my M1 iPad Pro gets extremely hot and the battery life drains like crazy. Third, the app frequently crashes for no reason at all. You would think an app made by Apple would be better than this, but it is not. I have researched online and many other people have these frustrating issues with no solution to give. There are countless posts to Apple Support, but they do not help at all. I have even submitted several reports on the Feedback app as I have a developer account, but none of my concerns have been addressed. I understand that alternatives like Goodnotes and Notability exist, but I hold a strong opinion against subscription services unless they are absolutely necessary. Please Apple, fix these issues. I KNOW you know they exist. You have the most intelligent software engineers in the world so this should be a piece of cake to solve. Many loyal customers including myself have been getting increasingly frustrated. This is simply unacceptable from one of the largest tech companies on the planet.
