If you are an iPhone user, you know the best way to create checklists, jot down a quick thought or sketch ideas is with Notes. Save to your iCloud account, and your notes are updated and accessible from all your devices.

You can also swipe left on the folder and tap the blue folder icon. Then simply select a new location.
