Does anyone know of a notes taking app (under $5) where I can draw with pens and text on the same page, and have multiple pages of notes per file?

Like if I were to take notes for a math class, I could draw figures, add text, and have multiple pages of that all in a file called "Lesson 2.3" etc.

Preferably that I can save the lessons offline. Other apps I've found, they require an account and upload the instant I save them, and I have to record them. I don't want that.

I use notability and its great for notes as well as schoolwork.

Notability was... PERFECT. Thank you. And it was on sale for $1.99.

The zoom feature and the fact that I could write with a really thin pen helped a lot to take close detailed figures.
 
Even though you can save your notes on the ipad you should consider backing them up to a cloud service so if the app crashes (as all apps do) you won't lose your classwork.

Yea I backed them up to Drive. Which was great, since I keep notes on there to begin with, now I have them in this form.

They now offer cross product syncing....so the notes on your ipad will match your iphone if you have the app on both devices.

I noticed that. It will be convenient at times to view notes on my phone if I need to and don't have my iPad, but I won't be writing on it.
