Q: iOS 9 Notes app on iPad 2?

With iOS 9 the Notes app on my iPad 2 has become useless.

The text in my notes on my iPad have lost all formatting, i.e. all separate text lines are now joined together to form one single block of text, making the notes virtually unreadable.

On top of that, the notes do not sync any longer with MS Outlook on my Windows computer. I have done a test in both directions.

Strange enough, during syncing with iTunes 12.3.0.44 it says "Syncing Notes", but no notes are being synced.

Under the iTunes Info tab, notes syncing with Outlook has vanished.

 

I have found this worrisome Apple Support Note:

Upgrade your notes with iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

 

Under "Learn More" it says:

"Upgraded notes don't support IMAP and won't connect to Microsoft Outlook. Go to iCloud.com on your Windows PC to view and edit your iCloud notes".

 

Does this really mean that I cannot sync my iPad Notes app with Microsoft Outlook anymore?
