The App Store is chock full of note taking apps and all of them try to distinguish themselves in various ways. Vesper: Elegant Notes by Q Branch is a $5 (it's available for $3 during the holidays) iOS note taking app that singles itself out from the pack in terms of its simplicity and flexibility. Vesper is about as simple an app as you can imagine (note taking or otherwise), and that's a compliment, not a criticism. As a software developer, I constantly strive for simplicity, both of purpose and design. This is not an easy goal to achieve; it's natural for developers to want to say "yes" to adding lots of cool features, but it requires focus and discipline to say "no" to many of those in order to avoid cluttering the app and confusing your users. It's obvious that the developers at Q Branch share these same values.
Because the app's so simple, getting up to speed with Vesper is very easy. When you open the app, you're greeted with a few pre-existing notes tagged as Tutorial, which are just that. After reading those four notes, you should have a good handle on everything the app can do.
