Are you able to a styllus with evernote? I want to actually write the notes like a pen.
 
Noterize and a boxwave stylus works great.

I've also used Notes+ (honestly liked the version before the update better), Writepad (handwriting recognition converts to computer readable text), Penultimate (don't actually like this one, despite the hype) and a few other less than honorable mentions...


EDIT: oops, didn't notice "free" in the title, I'm not aware of any free ones.
 
I use Underscore Notify to take notes on my iPad, and love it. Not free, but costs $1 I think, so no biggie.
 
I personally like notes plus the best. Have tried several but this is great for notes and typing and audio recording.
 
I have Note Taker HD, Notes Plus, and Underscore Notify.

Underscore Notify is by far the most full featured app. It's truly mind boggling what this app can do compared to other note taking apps, and it's only $0.99!

Notes Plus is good, but I don't think Note Taker HD is that good in comparison.
 
I'm learning that note taking apps right now can either be good at handwriting (Notetaker HD and Penultimate) or good at integrating lots of features (Underscore Notify - agreed - incredible potential in this app), but not both. If Notify can improve their handwriting and stability to be on par with these other apps, it will become the only note app I need.
