Imagine needing to write something in a hurry. Well, if you have a Galaxy Note, you can just pull out the S Pen and scribble on the lock screen. And well, you can do that on the iPhone and iPad ...

iPadOS 16's handwriting-recognition feature automatically converts Apple Pencil writing to text. Here's how to take notes using Scribble.

You might yearn to pick up your iPad and scrawl some notes on its surface, but until recently you had few good options for doing so.

This makes it so you can create a note, and then send it straight to an ever growing "Journal.txt" file on Dropbox. Drafts is available for $1.99 for iPhone and $2.99 for iPad in the iTunes App Store.

I'm an iPad owner overwhelmed by apps. Where should I start if I'm looking for something with which to take notes?
