Note taking Apps

You can write little post-it reminders. These reminders are able to pop up on your lock screen.
Smartnote
These app is great for taking handwritten notes, audio notes, and typed notes.
iDo notebook
I personally use this app as a journal, but this app can tag your note as an idea, to do list, shopping list, a diary and a journal. The difference between the journal and notebook is that in order to view the diary you have to enter a password first.
