If you read the link I provided, you would see that I have tried Evernote.
While it has many great features, it falls short.

No, not even close. Totally different feature. You did see the word auto, right? Much more extensive. And it does more than simple words.

Semi is right. Maybe semi, semi. Only the very basic outlining and numbering provided. No control over numbering style, no ability to style individual levels to help make them stand out.
But the big issue here is there is absolutely ZERO ability to do ANY outlining or numbering of this on the iPad, not even a TAB key.
In fact, you can't even EDIt Rich Notes on the iPad.
Complete Fail.

I have several note taking apps on the iPad that provide drawing features that can also amend them.

Are you KIDDING me? Have you used Evernote?
First of all, the only thing you can do do on the iPad is edit the text inside of a table cell. You can't create tables.
But even on the full-fledged Mac app, you can't:
- insert columns or rows in a table
- add a fill color to a cell
- merge cells
- heck, you can't even drag a column/row border to change it
- if you insert a table at fixed size, you can't control its width

You can record audio, but it doesn't link your typing to the time.
Also, if you had extensive notes, you would have to pay for the service.
Anyways, my point is I have tried many of these apps, and they all fall short, and I think that OmniGroup would do a fanatic job of this, and it fits in with their existing apps.
