iCloud based app like Evernote?

Need iOS app (like Evernote) that I can use keyboard or ApplePencil, make voice notes, some formatting of notes or imported stuff, import photos, import web pages or have available web clipper, PDF, easy to access and organize info into groups/folders, BUT...I don't want to pay for someone's storage service since I have iCloud. Any suggestions? Thanks! (iOS on iPad Pro is up to date)

By the way, I already tried Zoho Notebook and while they keep claiming to have an iOS web clipper, none of the links they've provided to me work.

iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi, iOS 10.3.2

Hi Ashton. I am actually looking for an app LIKE Evernote but that uses the iCloud for designated storage. Evernote wants you to pay them to access their storage service. I already pay for iCloud! Do you have any suggestions based on those parameters...or maybe you know how to use the iCloud with Evernote???? That would be perfect! Thanks for your imput though.

I know...the stinkers! I've heard that the new iOS coming out in the fall is supposed to be big improvement...I guess I could just limp along on Evernote and see what happens in the fall. I've been so frustrated...I like Evernote, but I already pay for extra iCloud storage and I HATE the new way apps charge you (subscription instead of just buying it outright)! Thanks!

I'd ditch iCloud.

You can't easily access the data you put up on iCloud the way you can with DropBox.

I can easliy get to all of my data using the DropBox apps on my iPad and Mac.

iCloud really dosen't let you access that data other than from different devices.

With DropBox I can constantly go into it to view my notes, documents and pictures.

You can't do that with iCloud.

iCloud is a simple backup and data to device sharing service with really no way to view that data on Apple's servers.

Currenly, for personal use, DropBox has lowered its monthly subscription price of 1 TB of storage to $8/month, which is a little less than $100/year.

DropBox, IMSO, is A LOT more flexible than iCloud.

Good Luck!

Thanks for your suggestion! I did some serious trials with different apps and yesterday I finally found one that I like! I decided to go with Notability. Seems to be just what I was looking for!

Why don't you try Notability with DropBox?

This is what have been using for years!

Keep in mind Evernote has its own cloud storage.

They will not make it easy, if even possible, to use iCloud.

Hi! Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, DropBox wants to charge me monthly for the amount of info I want to store. I already pay a monthly fee for iCloud so I want to use that!
