I love the design of Notes, and I used it a lot for the past few years to store work and personal notes, but I found the sync to be very unreliable. Notes on my iPhone keeps getting out of sync with Notes on my laptop. It happens every few weeks, and I have to log out and login again to fix it. Maddening.

I switched recently to Obsidian and am really enjoying the speed, simplicity, extensibility, and being back in control of my files.

The main reason I love apple notes is it's speed and sync. Just works.

I treed google keep and evernote. Syncing was always overwriting eachother. Starting slow.

Never had that same problem with keep, its almost instantaneous updating for me.

I always have one big note where I add a lot. When using that in both desktop and phone kept overwriting my entries

If they would just improve search it would be really great. There is no way to restrict search to a folder, for example.
