hello

I'm asking for an (old) friend, OTOH I'm not an Apple user: is there
anything available on the store to replace the built-in Notes app?
he uses it, typing and dictating, but its very unconmfortable when he
tries to send/share/print

Thank you in advance

Send/share/print is managed by iPadOS. It's pretty much the same process
regardless of the app. I don't think changing the app will help.

What's the problem your friend has?

I report some of his issues (but, I repeat, I don't have an iPhone or a
Mac to confirm)

He says he can't send/share part of a note, the app always sends the
whole stuff, in some cases the app sends as a picture even if the
source is a text, he can't comfortably manage the notes when is
connected to icloud.com with his pc (Windows), and so on.

He's 80 yo, please be patient ;)

That Note app. is very bare-bones. I use it only for writing text, which
I'll then copy and paste elsewhere.
I suggest MS Word.

There are other apps available in the App Store; lots, in fact. Just do
a Search for "note" and you'll find things like Goodnote, Notefree, and
a host more.

yes, in the meantime I made some tests with Android apps, I found that
OneNote from Microsoft works fine: I can type a note, or register a
vocal, or dictate using the microphone. Notes are almost immediately
synced with OneNote on the computer and here I can work on them,
adding, changing, deleting and, on exit, all the modifications are
synced back to the phone.

thanky you for your tips, my first try will be OneNote on the apple
devices and in case of failure I'll give a try to the a.m.

I can manage it. He needs to highlight the part of the note he wants to
share, select the "Share..." option in the pop-up menu (he'll likely need
to skip a few options before finding it) and choose where to save/share the
selection.

That's a different issue and I don't use icloud with windows so can't help
here.

Not sure how this is any different to Notes? That's exactly how I use Notes
on my ipad and Mac.

Your OP was about "sharing" not syncing. What exactly is your friend trying
to achieve?
