Top 5 note taking apps for iOS

Seeking a great note taking app that offers Swiss knife like features and is really handy for recollecting your thoughts.

Jotting down important things is always a good habit and it is better if you are ecologically driven at the same time. Smartphones offer a basic note taking app by default, but many prefer something more feature rich, robust and at the same time easy to use.

Free apps are good but offer limited experience. One should really not mind giving away some moolah and expect great value in terms of features. Hundreds of apps are available in the Apple App Store which offer a simple note taking feature, but there are many which do something more beyond that.

Here is a list of five apps that will not only help you take down notes but also offer features such as exporting in a different format, markdown, and syncing with other cloud storages.
