Apple Notes keeps crashing in iOS11

This is obviously still an issue, is there any update you can give us, will this be correct in 11.1? It seems like most users here that are having this issue are heavy users, like the app is crashing on trying to sync that many notes (I didn't have this issue when I had only a few hundred notes, but at 4,000 it's unusable)? I really really really don't want to go back to EN but I basically don't have a useable notes app on my iPhone?

Remove a built-in app from your Home screen

1. On your iOS device, touch and hold the app lightly until it jiggles. If the app doesn't jiggle, make sure that you're not pressing too hard.
2. Tap on the app, then tap Remove.
3. Press the Home button to finish.

I also have the same issue since the very beginning of iOS 11 upgrade, which no subsequent upgrades have fixed. All my notes were saved on the iPhone, not iCloud, so I am now not only disabled to use such a usefull everyday app, but also I have lost access to the data it contained. I tried all possible ways of troubleshooting: soft/hard rebooting/resetting from backup the iPhone, resetting only settings on iPhone, removing&reinstalling the app. Notes crashes while opening, it freezes Settings app when trying to access its settings from it, no sharing to it is possible, it freezes the source app when trying to do so, etc. It only worked once when I reset iPhone as new device, ignoring my backup and losing all my data. If Apple does not fix it, this will remain the only way forward, hoping that I somehow extract notes from my backup with 3rd party tools. But even than I’ll lose the data in the password-locked notes. I wonder how many people must complain before Apple realises the magnitude of the issue and fixes it.

I have the exact same issue as Robert. I use notes maybe 30-40 times a day and have never had any issues until I downloaded the newest update (Ibelieve 11.3) and it has basically rendered, by far the most important aspect of the phone (iPhone 7+ 256gb) unusable, and it having a seriously detrimental effect on my business. I have 1,000’s of notes on iCloud and stored locally in my laptop. This issue needs to be resolved, and it’s needs to be resolved quickly. Please advise at your earliest.

I have same issue that Robert has.

My notes on my iPad Pro keeps crashing after I upgraded to iOS11.

I have tried to reboot or reset my iPad, I also delete & re-install the Note, but the problem still not been solved.

My Notes created when I was deleting my old notes. After I tap the trash can icon several times (deleted serval notes), my Notes will crash for sure.

Any idea how to solve this problem? Is it a bug from iOS 11? Just wait for Apple to fix it in the future update?

I too have been experiencing many crashes with the Notes app, both on my iPhone and on my iPad. When I saw the iOS 11.0.1 update, I was hoping that this problem would have been resolved, as I use Notes many times every day. Alas, the crashing continues. Hopefully this will be rectified in the very near future.

I’m still having this issue too. I’ve tried removing all notes sync with iCloud and redoenloaded them all (a royal pain since I use AN like Evernote and have about 4,000 notes in there) and it still constantly hangs and crashes? I’m running 11.0.3, hoping maybe a fix is coming for 11.1?

This is still a major issue for me as well. I moved my notes from Evernote to Apple Notes when iOS 11 came out because I love the update Apple made to the notes app but Evernote was also way too bloated and I've grown weary of keeping up with EN. I've tried Bear, Evernote, and all the various other apps out there for notes, Apple has integration that none of the others have, and you also can't get the notes from AN to another app very easily. The ability to nest and organize folders in notes now is a great solution, but not when the app crashes every time I open it?

Apple --- I have done everything short of deleting the app from my iPhone (which I am going to try next). All my notes are synced via iCloud and show on all my other devices, but when you try to use notes on my iPhone 8 Plus and iOS 11 it's basically impossible. It freezes on opening, it hangs on reopen, it locks up on edit. It's totally unusable at this point. Please make this app useable again, and soon.

I have the same problem that everyone here is describing. It began on all my devices immediately after upgrading to iOS 11, and 11.1 does not fix it.

i have less than 1300 notes, and it doesn’t matter if a note as images or attachments; Apple Notes hangs for around 30 seconds frequently whilst editing notes. I have even seen this behavior in the share sheet of Safari when exporting to a note.

The only troubleshooting I can provide is that the hanging /crashing only seems to occur when editing an existing note, never when actually creating a note for the first time.

I dont want to have to switch away from Apple Notes (haging switched to Notes from Evernote). However as 11.1 did nothing to address this, I’m concerned this may be a major bug in iOS 11 that will just be ignored by Apple.

Robert, I'm sorry that we're in the same, seemingly sinking ship. The "solutions" apple has set forth to you are not only a complete hassle and a massive time investment, but completely unacceptable as well. I've never been one of those "I deserve to get what I paid for" types. Having said that I buy these macbook, iphones etc, for 2 reasons; aesthetics and functionality, both of which have become integrated so deeply into my everyday life, it would be difficult to turn a different direction (I'm sure thats part of the game plan for apple, a smart one at that) I've always been able to depend on apple, that whenever a issue has arised in the past, there's an update in a couple days (max) and the problem is resolved. However, bottom line here is, this needs to be fixed on Apples end and on Apples time, not ours. Manually inputing my notes into another system would be an absolute nightmare (85% of them have multiple photos) I have no other recourse but to sit around and wait until apple has time to pay attention to us. I'm sure that once I fold and buy the iphone x the issue will be no more. Theyre going to have one **** of a quarter this upcoming year. Please let me know if you find a resolution, I will do the same. Last thing, I've moved half my note from my icloud to locally on macbook HD, nothing changed.
