Why move my iCloud notes to Gmail?
Android phones don't connect to iCloud directly, but they work great with Gmail. Moving your notes into Gmail puts them somewhere Android can read, so you can open them in NoteBip on your Android phone.
The simplest way to get your iCloud notes onto Android is to move them into your Gmail account first. Then NoteBip lets you access and manage them on Android — while you keep using the Apple Notes app on your iPhone.
NoteBip is on its way to Google Play — launching soon.
iCloud is Apple's service and Android doesn't link to it directly. Gmail, on the other hand, is built right into Android. By moving your notes into your Gmail account, you put them somewhere your Android phone can comfortably read — which makes them easy to open in NoteBip. It's a one-time bit of setup that opens the door to using your notes on Android.
On your iPhone, you can add your Gmail account and choose to keep notes with it, so your notes are stored in Gmail rather than only in iCloud. The notes you move across will then be ready to use beyond your iPhone. Take your time — once a note is in Gmail, it's ready for the next step.
With your notes in Gmail, install NoteBip on your Android or Samsung phone and sign in. Your notes appear in a clean, organized app where you can read, edit, tag, and file them. This is the part that finally gets your old iCloud notes working on Android.

Moving notes to Gmail doesn't mean giving up Apple Notes. NoteBip is an Android app, not an iPhone app, so you can keep using the Apple Notes app on your iPhone and use NoteBip on Android side by side.
