### 5/5 — Overall better than a lot of other note apps

*2026-06-26, version 3.170*

I love everything about this app. However, there is one minor thing that can be added or fixed. The note filter for the widget stopped working a few updates ago. Also, it would really help if the widget could show multiple notes instead of only 1 note that has tasks only. OneNote and Apple native Notes app both have the feature of showing up to 5-10 notes in one widget.

### 5/5 — Capture & Share Between All My Devices

*2026-05-22, version 3.166*

I use Amplenote to capture information and share it with my desktop, laptop, iPad, and phone.

I’m very happy with this app!

### 2/5 — Amplenote used to be the greatest

*2026-05-22, version 3.166*

The integrated 'Idea Execution Funnel' is a genius move, but there's no support for using Amplenote with *agentic* AI—i.e., your own desktop agent that can already help with your email, calendar, files, etc. That effectively makes the user an attention-&-calculation *slave* to the content—having to manually micromanage everything is extremely mentally taxing and time-consuming. Providing an interface (e.g. via API, CLI, or MCP) for agents that already live on your desktop and can already touch most of your tools would totally solve this huge gap in usefulness, but so far Amplenote's devs have shown no interest or commitment in supporting this pivotal advancement! Highly **counterproductive**.

### 5/5 — Smooth implementation of an opinionated system

*2026-05-21, version 3.166*

The Amplenote system is not quite like anything else out there. It is not infinitely customizable and instead implements an opinionated model of one way to balance high-level goals with day-to-day implementation. The system may not be for you! (I’m not 100% sure it is for me.) Nonetheless, the app is a solid implementation and deserves its rating.

### 5/5 — Favorite not-taking app

*2026-04-30, version 3.163*

Love the combo of notes, tasks, and calendar

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-04-30, version 3.163*

I love Amplenote and they are way better than other similar apps.

### 2/5 — App sux

*2026-03-16, version 3.160*

I tried adding a task to a my calendar, it didn’t work, it kept adding it to “jots” whatever that is. Too fiddly to use, the iPad interface sucks, it does everything except the thing I want it to do. Why does adding something to my calendar add it to everything except my calendar?

### 1/5 — Currently not usable

*2026-02-19, version 3.157*

Unfortunately the task+tag view seems to be broken. Tasks are cut off in the list when selecting a tag. Sometimes they reappear when switching tags, or when switching to and from the completed view. Even when sometimes showing, expanding the task leaves it hidden behind an invisible panel. Tasks view being the reason I wanted to use it, it’s not currently usable.

### 2/5 — Accessibility fail

*2026-02-08*

I really like this tool — the underlying functionality is way better for my task management style than anything else I’ve found. The learning curve is on the steep side compared to most other options (and this is coming from someone who loves OmniFocus), but the big fail for me is that the main user interface isn’t compatible with many of iOS accessibility options.  For example, if you use the iOS accessibility options to increase text size beyond the typical range, the main menu becomes 
unreadable — in my case, showing me only a horizontal slice of the top 20% of each word. There are enough things like this that it’s clear that accessibility hasn’t been a priority in UX work for them, which is super unfortunate — after all, most disabilities come with a LOT of extra info and tasks to keep track of, often while sapping the executive function, energy, and/or available time to do so.

### 1/5 — Unable to delete

*2026-01-11, version 3.153*

I would like to remove this app as it is too expensive. I’m not able to do that. Please assist in removing this application.
