Nextcloud Notes User Reviews

Top reviews

Requires constant access to the server

Have Nextcloud on a server at home - not available on the internet. That makes this app useless outside my home network.
By contrast I use Nextcloud to sync my calendar and contacts - those iOS native apps handle this like you would expect. With CloudNotes I just get a big red banner with “Error Updating Note” and lots of technical details that I cannot dismiss.

DO NOT BUY. Not reliable at all

It should save locally and then sync later when it can connect. It just deletes your notes. Lost important data without warning.

Great app

Works as advertised! (Using it with NextCloud)
Thanks for making it free.

Doesn't work correctly

I can see notes I've created on my laptop but I get an error when I try to create a new note through the app. I paid for it so you'd think it would work

No Longer Native to OwnCloud

I bought this app over a year ago and have never been able to install the app on my OwnCloud server (self-hosted or otherwise) therefore can’t connect to it on my iPhone. That’s extremely disappointing after paying even this small amount for an app.

Now, I can’t install OwnNotes on OwnCloud at all because it’s deprecated and considered a security risk.

Find something else. Don’t bother with this app.

Nice addition to my owncloud server

Works as advertised. Prompt response from dev as well. Would love to see support for folders in future. As is, it keeps my various notes synced and private.

Doesn't work well

When service is intermittent you will lose note data. For example traveling through an area with poor reception.

This software is entirely reliant on a connection which is a major design flaw. Notes should be saved locally with a unique tag (such as QOwnNotes does) and then sync and remove tag when available.

Instead this software periodically syncs your note to the cloud which is pointless. In a browser this makes sense. On an application, it makes no sense.

I encourage the developer to better the synchronization to allow note taking without connection to the server. For now a massive ring will prevent notes until some net connection is established.

This is totally unreliable and the same as using the phone's browser to connect online.

edit: Just add a Safari shortcut to your home screen from your notes website. Works just as well.

Works with Nextcloud!

Thank you for the update to support markdown and Nextcloud.

Great

The developer is very responsive and fixed an issue i was having. Thanks for making a great notes app!

Ok - needs much improvement

For what the app cost you would think it would have a little more features.
First I had to manually install the ownCloud code on my ownCloud server. Then the app recognized this app. However features when accessing ownCloud via the web are sad and very basic. Nothing but a test editor which can be done with the default ownCloud. Anyway it's ugly compared to the default ownNotes. This app is very basic as well. Simple note program. Again one can simple use the default ownCloud app which is half the price Ana does the same thing. On top of that no security. No pin nor touch access :(.
I do hope it improves. But for now I may just delete app and remove from my server. And I could not enter feedback on the developers page else I would have kept these comments off here.
Let's try again guys. :(
