Best pencil app for PDF markup and note-taking?

I am super confused about how to use Apple Pencil to mark up PDFs or to make it useful in my day to day work. I bought it to make my 12inch iPad a replacement for difficult PDF markups on my laptop. Also I wanted to take notes by hand, and mark up documents I get such as designs as PNGs or JPEGs, or PDFs, and I want to take notes too.


Suggestions? Best apps (both built-in to iPad Pro and/or AppStore?)


Thanks!

iPad Pro, iOS 10.2.1, Apple Pencil
