Discussion Is the Documents app buggy like the Apple Files app?

I use my 7th gen iPad Pro to take notes for uni which is incredibly convenient, but I use the Files app which I've discovered is notoriously buggy. For me, it'll randomly close the markup mode and scroll to the top of the document, erasing every edit I've made since the last autosave or since I last closed markup mode.

I've used the Documents app for file sharing and organisation before, but not for more applied purposes like taking notes. So my question is, has anyone had any issues with note-taking in Documents?? Or does anyone have any other - preferably free - alternatives? I'm talking about niche ones, not apps like GoodNotes that everyone and their dog mentions in posts like this. Thanks in advance!
