Nextcloud Notes User Reviews

Pretty awful

Sync’d once and once only. Then there’s no formatting options at all. Just plain text. That’s it.

Needs improvements

I have thousands of notes in the Nextcloud but this app only displays a few.

Complete Junk - Useless - Will not sync

This doesn’t send notes made on mobile back to the server. This makes it completely useless.

No longer works

Login not possible with this app. Needs to be updated.

NOT v26 ready despite latest update claim

This app used to work pretty well as a bare bones app for nextcloud notes up to nextCloud v25 but for server v26 it’s pretty broken. The app constantly disconnects when you switch to another app and refuses to reconnect to the note you were just editing, which leaves you to completely reboot the app every edit. Instead of natively editing the note through the app it brings up the web interface for note editing which is slow and does not properly fit the phone screen. The app constantly goes out of sync with the notes on the server and presents you with an unreadable interface to select which version of the note is up to date. You no longer can switch between markdown and preview mode when editing a document even though it’s saving everything in markdown. All in all just needs way more polished to be used with a v26 nextcloud server.

Meh

Like a lot of Nextcloud’s offerings, it is pretty sub par. While they’re focusing on AI buzz words their core, and actually useful features languish. This app has a lot of potential. It’s a shame their leadership is chasing sparkly shiny things and not making their existing product good. I had a bear of a time just signing into my server

I can only edit in offline mode?

This app is not ready to be published. It doesn’t work properly. It sees my notes but I can only view and edit in offline mode. I don’t understand why this app is published. It feels like an alpha quality software.

Feature Request: Save to Notes from other apps

This looks like a handy app. Unlike Apple’s Notes, it will sync to my Nextcloud installation.

It would be nice if I could copy documents to it via the “share” facility found in most other apps.

Also, initialization (adding URL, password, etc. so I could log in) was confusing due to lack of error messages and other guidance.

Thank you.

App continuously crashes

A few moments after opening a note the application throws a session timeout error. The error message will not respond to clicks to dismiss the error and it takes up 40% of the screen. This appears to done to piss poor coding. After the error is thrown any updates to the note are still updated on the server and packet analyzer shows continuous traffic.

Perfect

As I use Nextcloud increasingly as a business tool for my studio, I want mobile connectivity to the various tools within Nextcloud. This app connected and synced perfectly (read zero fuss) with my NC instance and now I can add and edit Notes on my phone.

Just what I wanted!!
