TUAW's Daily App: Chapters
The ability to add photos, edit text formatting, and quickly find and export text you've written into the app is all icing on the cake. Whatever your implementation would be (the reviews in iTunes have a teacher keeping notes, a photographer tracking trips, and a journal writer just documenting random thoughts), Chapters seems like a great app to keep notes, large or small, on the iPad. And that introductory price of $3.99 makes it pretty easy to check out, too.

Chapters (US$3.99 on the iPad) looks like a terrific app for your various notetaking enterprises. I haven't yet been completely sold on...

I have enjoyed the Chronicle app immensely! I use it for all areas of life - work, graduate school, personal life (shopping, bills, etc), and my volunteer work.
I am very loyal to this developer and he has always been great at taking feedback about his apps. I wish other developers were as committed to the art as him.
If you ever have an issue with anything, email him and he will make it right.
Thanks, Steven!
What's more, I would not support this developer. They basically created an earlier app (Chronicles) and then this one (Chapters) with added features. Instead of just updating the app they already released, as almost ALL other devs do, they got greedy and wanted to charge users all over again--even the icon is the same.
Please don't reward that kind of fleecing of iOS users by greedy devs.
Hi Exilio,
I try to focus on giving people what they want. I have many emails from people saying don't change a thing, while another group requests changes that, to be honest, are quite extensive. This was the best way to meet both groups head-on. I don't want to bolt extra steps and UI elements onto something that's designed to be simple and already works for the majority of the people using it.
Perhaps a couple people like yourself got sidelined. I'm sorry. Send me a message and we'll work something out.
Both apps are actively updated (new updates today actually) and are growing along their own trajectories.
If you take notes in meetings or classes check out Audiotorium Notes for iPad. Currently featured in Apple's Back to School Apps section of the app store.
Aaaaaand, the double post. Apologies.

Looks to me as if the free Evernote app can do all of this and more, storing in the cloud, OCR images, etc.
