In my experience, the best way to implement this is to simply display the formatting in place. In other words, text within asterisks should show the asterisks, but be displayed in italics.
This is opposed to having separate Edit/View modes, which IMO always ends up cumbersome to use. You're always in Edit mode, it's just also formatting when appropriate. (Notes in the Notes list of course can simply be formatted).
Please add Markdown formatting to Notes.
