Great work team

Thanks for your app, I’ve made the jump from being a long-time Notability user, purely because of your audio transcription feature, the ease of using it and how your app is optimised around it. One suggestion is improving the accuracy of the transcription, as I’m finding errors even in the most advanced model. When i feed the results into AI, the transcript errors can skew the results negatively

Brilliant Note Taking & All-Round Organising Options

This is a fantastic note taking app, especially around voice recording notes/memos. Great features for bookmarking, transcribing, adding images and formatting text.
I purchased the Lifetime version to obtain all features and am so pleased I did. Customer service is also amazing too. 5 stars from me!

Seemed promising

App seemed promising as it has all the right features that I need, but it is extremely buggy. CMD+Z doesn’t undo - you have to use the on screen button, which requires several taps to uncover. The devs suggested I update my iPad and the app - my things stay updated and all issues have followed me across two iPads and multiple reinstalls.

Copy and paste operations will sometimes shift bullets across the entire document, so you no longer know what’s a bullet, what’s a sub bullet, etc. In the first week I spent hours fixing issues caused by the app.

Ended up requesting a refund. The app is not suitable for use in a fast-paced lecture environment. The features are great, but unfortunately plagued by issues.

Transcribe Done Locally

Love the idea that I don’t need an Internet connection nor connect to any sketchy servers! Powerful notetaker with Lifetime Option that’s just missing Markdown features!

Response from developer

Thanks for the awesome feedback! We're glad you're loving the offline functionality and the Lifetime Option. Markdown features, you say? Great idea! We will consider it for future updates, stay tuned Tony!

App Review: Noted

I've been using Noted for a while now, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for me. The way it transcribes text is spot on. I don't have to worry about missing any important details during meetings anymore. Plus, the options for recording meetings are super detailed. It really helps keep everything organized.

As a lifetime subscriber, I've been really happy with the regular updates. The app keeps getting better and better. One thing that would make it perfect is a feature to summarize meetings. That would save even more time.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much! It's great to know the transcription and recording features keep you organized. Our updates are like fine wine—they get better with time! A meeting summary feature? Brilliant idea—we’re on it! Keep enjoying the app, and we'll keep making it better! 💪

I quickly gave up

Too much information on the screen - a tad bit distracting being prompted to pay for more features. After my first note disappeared never to be seen again I had a sour taste in my mouth thinking, “why would I bother with an app like this, when I can do everything on my phone already or better yet: just do things the old fashioned way with paper and pen or a tape recorder!”

In the end my initial inspiration turned into me writing this negative review. My optimism turned to pessimism with this capitalist garbage app and I will add an emoji right now to convince you that I’m not a complete nihilist. I’m going back to sleep, thank you for your time 😂

p.s I considered changing to 2 stars as I enjoyed writing this, but my point still stands in mind… waste of time ✌️😴

It’s not free, there are zero free features whatsoever

You simply cannot use this app at all unless you subscribe. So the fact that it’s editor recommended and listed as free is a complete joke. I can’t even look at the interface without choosing a subscription, which I have zero interest in subscribing for such a ridiculous price when this was marketed to me as a free app. That means there should be at least ONE free feature. I open the app and am immediately met with a pop up that has no X to exit from that says to pick a sub. Don’t be conned by these con artists. They know exactly what they are doing. They want you to accidentally forget you got the free trial for their app that is a glorified voice memos. Which you have for free on your phone babes. Not worth it

Good app, horrible support

Actually, I have no problem with the app, at least not so far. My problem comes from having a different facing the images shown here on the site. I wanted to understand what the icons were for so I came here to see and there’s nothing I went to their website and there’s nothing. They have a users guide, but there’s no pictures, no explanation of icons, and the “Contact Us” button does not work. For an app with all of these accolades, and good - great reviews, you’d think they could afford a Customer Service department or at least some photos with explanations. It is in my frustration that I’m writing this review so 2 stars is all I can give.

The Struggles of a Subpar Note-Taking App

I regret to say that this might be one of the least user-friendly note-taking apps I've ever encountered. I opted for the lifetime subscription, but it turned out to be a disappointment. For starters, the experience of writing while recording is incredibly awkward; you're confined to typing in a tiny square box. Although it can be expanded, it's utterly illogical. Essentially, it's impossible to comfortably write in the note. Adding hashtags was another cumbersome task. Furthermore, the translation feature was a letdown; only the basic level functioned, while the AI intermediate and advanced levels were ineffective, and the translation process was excruciatingly slow. I've decided to seek a refund, as there are simpler, more streamlined apps available that offer a much smoother experience.

Hey Cspain11, thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts with us. We're truly bummed to hear that Noted didn't meet your expectations.

Could you share more about the challenges you faced with adding hashtags? We're all ears and want to make things easier for you. As for the translation feature, we've heard from users that it's been hit or miss. Our team's on it, working hard to make it better. Hang in there with us! If you've already asked for a refund, we're sad to see you go. But hey, we'd love for you to give us another shot in the future. Shoot us an email at support@notedapp.io with your feedback, and let's chat. Thanks a bunch for giving Noted a try – we really appreciate it 🫡

Apple Watch Problems

It is taking a long time to sync my Apple Watch recordings to the iPhone. Even with the Apple Watch recharging.

Second, the Apple Watch app should record from AirPod pros when they are being worn as the native Apple recorder would do. Instead it is recording from my watch which means it is almost completely in Audible. To make this work I would have to raise the watch to my mouth when I'm working out at the gym which is not practical.

third I have not found any way to move my recordings from the Watch folder to the custom folders on my account. They all are just marooned in the Watch folder forever which is not ideal.
