Apple Notes keeps crashing in iOS11

Has anyone tried reaching out to websites like 9to5 Mac or others to try to garner some larger audience for this issue. My hope is that if we can get Apples attention through a much larger audience, they might see it and they may even do something about it. Just a thought. I know, I’m fed up with this nonsense and something needs to get done now. Let me know your guys thoughts

I have the exact same issue, and it is very unfortunate that I had to completely stop using the Notes app because of this. It is by far one of the best Notes app I have used, but its insane instability in iOS 11 has forced me to switch to Bear App. Shame on Apple for introducing so many awesome features for Notes in iOS 11, and then completely degrading the quality of the app itself. I am baffled how this buggy of an app passes testing and quality assurance, if there is still something like that at Apple.

I've been having similar problems for about a month now. First it was on an iPhone 6 Plus, now on iPhone X running latest iOS. The Notes app crashes frequently requiring me to reopen it. More importantly, my notes are not syncing with iCloud and my iMac as they should. When I enter or make changes to a note on my iMac, it immediately goes to iCloud and my iPhone. Similarly, when I enter or make changes to a note on iCloud with my browser, it immediately goes to my iPhone and iMac. HOWEVER, when I enter or make changes to a note on my iPhone it DOES NOT immediately go to iCloud and my iMac. It often takes hours to sync over and, even then, there are times when the new or altered note never syncs at all. ANOTHER PROBLEM: the images or photos I insert into notes on my iPhone are clearly visible on that device, but on iCloud the images or pictures show as placeholders only; the full image is not visible, and on my iMac, the same note shows the images as either blank placeholders or with the word "Loading" which runs endlessly. Something is wrong with the sync from iOS!

I believe there is still a problem, especially on the iPhone X. Notes with links or images embedded as large thumbnails, not small, are still able to lock up Notes app. It would be nice to see results from other users.

I’ve been having this issue as well since iOS 11 was released. I have an iPad Pro, iPhone 6S, and now iPhone X. Each update I hope it will be resolved but it still keeps happening. I can’t figure out if it’s iCloud, AT&T, or switching from creating/reading the notes on iPhone to iPad and vice versa. I’ve removed the app the all devices, and reloaded it. I’ve reset the iPhone 6S and reloaded it. I sure wish I could get notes to work smoothly again! Goodness it’s unreliability is frustrating! And it’s always acting up in the worst moments, when I’m in a hurry! Oh dear!

Talk about the worst moments! The day that I decided to leave Notes was when my wife was in the ICU at the hospital in an emergency situation and I needed to jot down things that the doctor's and nurses were saying and doing. Every time that day the app would crash and I would miss vital information. That week I used Google Keep and since then I've moved everything over to Evernote.

Yes, I too have had problems with iOS 11 using Notes on my iPhone X and iPads. I use the table in notes. Data frequently jumps off the intended rows and columns to a jumbled mess then crashes. When I reopen notes, luckily my most recent changes are on the table, but the data is jumbled on different rows and overlapping. I leave it and return later to it working for about 10 mins and then the repeat of jumbled rows and columns then crash. I have less than 100 notes. I am hoping Apple fixes notes soon. I am also an avid notes user and rely on the functionality of it.

Update.

Under advise from previous posts:

Performed following steps:

1. Unsycned notes

2. Rebooted

3. Deleted Notes App

4. Rebooted

5. Reinstalled notes app

6. Resynced notes

Results:

1. Problem persists.

2. Prepared to abandon Apple.

I agree. It’s doesn’t seem phone based (6S vs. X) connectivity based (WiFi vs. Cellular vs. none) Evernote based (I don’t have any Evernote links) or number of notes based (my number hasn’t changed). It’s very much an iOS 10 vs iOS 11 problem, and especially iPhone (my iPads seem to be less quirky). And it’s not even a total fail, everything still works on my iPhone, it just requires incredible amounts of time, 4-5 minutes to be ready for the next tap on the screen, which is, of course, infuriating when I’m in a hurry. My current work around is to switch to iPad when it hangs, but obviously I’m disappointed that after this many iOS 11 releases it still isn’t working! What in the world am I doing wrong and/or are Apple’s QA teams missing to cause this to happen for such a long period of time! My goodness a mystery to the average human who isn’t in that close-kept world!

iOS 11.3

The beta is iOS 11.3.beta 1

From what I’ve researched, the beta is very buggy (as usual, all betas are buggy — that’s the intent — to figure out bugs & report them), so I’d hold off installing a beta till at least 5th or 6th version. At that point Apple is close to signing the final and most bugs are mostly squashed. Also, install betas on secondary devices if you have them b/c if you install a beta on your main device and something doesn’t work b/c of bugs, that’s on you. I am personally holding off till the higher signing betas before installing on my iPad Pro.

My experience is similar and persistent. I only have 1,000 notes but I have many photos and links in hundreds of them. I have an iPhone X running the latest iOS. The biggest problem with the app right now is that it almost always freezes when I either first enter the app, re-enter the app from another once Notes is open, or try to edit a note. The freeze lasts between 1-2 minutes usually. I formerly used Notes heavily for presentation outlines with links to jump to other apps and web content but, because of the freezing, this is impractical now. I just reloaded Evernote after years of not using it. I'll have to switch to Evernote for my presentations until (hopefully) Apple gets their act together. Talk about an app not being enterprise ready! Unbelievable that we pay a premium price for a premium product and then get a sub-standard experience. Sad to see Apple's support of apps to have deteriorated as it has.
