Notes app keeps crashing (iPhone 5)! I've tried everything

I have a bunch of really important notes saved in my phone. I don't use iCloud so I have no other way to access them. Someone please help me figure this out, I'm ready to cry this is so frustrating.

I've tried closing the app, turning off my phone, restarting my phone, even erasing all my settings (which was a suggested solution I found on a forum), and NOTHING has worked. I'm getting desperate.

I can see the last note I had open when I double tap to look at my open apps, even after closing the app and restarting my phone several times, but every time I open it up it just shows blank lines for a second, then crashes.

Someone please help me out here! I'm using iOS 7.1.2 (I just updated in hopes that it might solve my problem, but nope), if that makes any difference. Any help is highly appreciated.

Stop using it… The "Stocks" app is the only app more worthless than "Notes"

  • Why does my iPhone notes app.delete some notes? Some have been there for over a year others just disappear after a few days. I have not (to my knowledge) done anything differently.

  • My text message app keeps crashing on iphone? So me and a friend were just messing around when I got the idea to send him 1 million digits of pi. I copied and pasted it into the text bar and tried to send it. (I thought it would just take a while to send) but now my text message app keeps crashing and the message never sent. It won't load the messages it will just keep crashing. How do I fix this? I know it was a dumb mistake but now I'm worried.
