The Best Note App I’ve Ever Used
As a university student, notes are extremely important. And as a university student in the 21st century it is even more important to cut down on wasting paper that’ll only get typed up after a lecture and thrown in the bin.
This is where Noted comes in, I’ve been a lifetime user for around a year now (I think) and honestly, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever used.
No longer do I need to worry about listening to an entire lecture recording to find the specific notes I wrote about, because there is a time stamp next to it on Noted that I can tap and hear exactly when that part was spoken. I can also write down slide changes to keep track of where in a lecture I am and at what time.
So far, I haven’t encountered a single issue, even as new features are implemented.
The only thing I have noticed, is that during times when speech is quiet, Intelligent Playback can sometimes mistake this quiet or soft speech for silence and can skip straight past it, which isn’t helpful with some of the more quiet or distant lecturers (if you sit at the back you know what I mean).
Other than this, this truly is a fabulous app and it would be great (I’m not sure if this is already a thing) if universities could be able to sign up to the app to get access for an entire cohort, it would really change the game.
Keep it up guys!

Thank you for your feedback, have passed on your feedback to the team!
The Note+Audio App to Have !!
Definitely the best implementation of a note + audio app. Hope you keep evolving it so you become a must have and mass adopted app.
I know I will be a hard core user and I already subscribed for the year. Will get used to all existing features still and update this review later on. My first requests for consideration are below.
- Privacy is a must. Private key to encrypt/decrypt the data at the client app should be an option.
- Please share a way for users to vote on upcoming features/enhancements, suggest new ones, and share their experience.
I wish all the best for the Noted team!

Record online meetings audio
I like this app, I used it for last couple of days at office recording meetings, adding tags at key points, then going back to listen to audio to fill in the details. Allows me to discus with out worrying about missing something important.
A lot of my meetings are over Skype for Business, or Zoom, Microsoft Teams will be coming in next month to replace Skype for Business.
Love for this to record my call made on my iPad Pro 11” 2018 using my headset and mic. I have dongle for wired headset and mic, but would also love to use over Bluetooth headsets.
Also, and I see it mentioned in FAQ, yes some of us do read them, Transcribing Audio would be awesome.!
Also, more sharing abilities, especially with those not on iOS or MacOS. Ability to share text and audio with the tags with my PC office mates would be terrific. May need a Windows version or at least an HTML 5 Browser edition to do that I imagine.
Keep up good work, I look forward to your updates to this useful app.

This is music to our ears. Noted with thanks! 😊
Truly Amazing!
I've tried almost evert top note-taking app on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Free and paid. I’ve used multiple ones for years and for different subjects. This is by far my favourite one. It is leagues better than anything else I’ve used, easy to learn, and bananas beautiful. Way to go developers.
For those complaining about the yearly fee, I’m not sure what the problem is. The amount of time this app saves me is totally worth it. I used to have to write down my own time codes for each note I took. Then download the videos I was watching or record the presentations I attended so that I could always have the source files. I’d then copy my notes from my quick notes applications and format it nicely in a more feature-rich app. Noted saves me all that hassle. Heck, I pay Netflix every month and I hardly use their service. I use Noted every day.
Noted replaces the versioning of Simplenote. Beats the beauty of Bear. Is less combersome than Evernote. It’s ubiquitous accross all Apple devices. It has a dozen quality of life features you don’t even know you want. Don’t get me wrong, I still use those other apps (gotta love that Bear tagging system) along with Ulysses for distraction-free writing. But Noted gets out of my way when it’s time for me to actually learn.

Crashes every time I do ANYTHING...!!
Biggest crap app I’ve had so far AND had to PAY for it... I want a refund Immediately. 100% USELESS.. ONLY CRASHES.. and basically brand new iPad.. Also, not when your using even a few minutes.. as Soon as you Do ANYTHING.. Crash.. Again 100% Useless... SCAM... Have no clue how it got approved... Horrible!! Would expect a real programmer and real app before approval, apparently a ‘quick and dirty app,’ buy a newbie programmer.. What is going on with Apple..?! And, I Demand a Refund or Lawsuit… even if at a loss.. so bad, worth it.. I certify I am a normal user and not affiliated in any way to any other app.. Pure Crap,,!

The best note taking app available
I truly believe this app is the perfect app for anyone in school or who is in a professional atmosphere where note taking is important- honestly you could even expand that to include anyone, using this app to organize their day to day life in general.
I love how organized you can be, recordings, text notes, pictures all set into specific notebooks. There was an issue I had where I had accidentally placed my recordings from one of my notebooks into the “archives” and I could no longer share them with my classmates or continue to use them in the way I had been. I could not for the life of me figure out how to move them back into the folder I had intended them to be in, so I sent an email to support and they got right back to me explaining how to fix the issue! I was very impressed to say the least:)

Hi Nikki, thanks for the kind words! ☺️We couldn't be happier you're getting so much out of Noted :) We hope you continue to use and enjoy the features.
Such a great tool that I wanted years ago
This app reminds me of Livescribe where you were able take written notes and replay conversation that happened during the time you wrote something.
One thing that would make this a killer app is to add the option of recording computer audio on top of whatever mic you have. This would allow you to capture conversation in a conference call while having headphones on.
That’s how this app gets to 5 stars for me.

Great Note Taking App for VoiceOver Users
I have been waiting for a VoiceOver accessible app with this functionality for quite a while now. With a recent update, VoiceOver users can now record and take text notes at the same time quite easily. I also love how easy it is to quickly jump to any point in the recording from anywhere in the text. Where was this app when I was in college many years ago...?

App randomly ...

Hello and thank you for leaving us a feedback. We would like to help, can you get in touch with us at support@notedapp.io.
Lost my notes...
This app would be fantastic if the sync wasn't broken between the Mac app and the iOS app. I used it to take notes in class, and then later opened the Mac app at home and tried to edit the same note. I didn't realize the mac version wasn't up to date, and my editing it overwrote the old version... 2 hours of writing gone :(
