Apple Notes

I've been using Evernote since 2011 and use it for everything, but I'm tired of the cost of it. I really want to move to Apple Notes as it's improved over the years. One of the main things I use is changing the creation date of a note and this, unfortunately, is a deal breaker for me. If I can't change the creation date of a note, I don't think I can move to Apple Notes.

So, is there a way to change the creation date of a note? I do this because I store lots of printed documents in Evernote and when those documents have a date on them, I change the date of the note in Evernote to the date printed on the document because I'm usually not scanning the document the same date as printed on the document. Does that make sense?

Please let me know.

Apple Notes is only useful for occasionally writing a few small notes. That is all. It will NEVER replace a serious note taking application such as Evernote based upon my many years of using both programs and reading the forums of other users' experiences. The sad reality is that Apple has not prioritized eradicating bugs to make Apple Notes function properly. It is a consistent source of grief for most users. Anyone thinking they're going to move hundreds or thousands of notes from a dedicated note program such as Evernote to Apple Notes and be satisfied with the experience is sadly mistaken.

Hello marknovom,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It's completely understandable to want to be able to change the creation date of a note.

This is unable to be edited with the Notes app. If you'd like, you can always leave feedback about it here: Product Feedback - Apple

Take care.
