Featured in Gizmodo's "The Best Note Taking Apps": 

"AudioNote has one trick, and it's a doozy. Aside from functioning as a basic note-taking app, AudioNote can make sound recordings at the same time, and keep them synchronized, note by note, with the text. You can, in effect, relive a lecture or a meeting through sound and notes."

### 5/5 — Bonne application

*2020-06-06*

Une bonne application , facile à utiliser. Je recommande

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2019-01-30, version 6.1*

The audio sync is a great concept, but there is much room for improvement in this app.

### 5/5 — Text sizing not working, cant change it, Please update

*2018-01-31*

Text size nit working, it stays in one size no matter what size i choose! Please fix it and update it soon as possible i was using it for gigs now cat see it clearly text is so small

### 1/5 — 廣告

*2017-08-02, version 6.1*

原以為只有介面最下方會常駐廣告，後來發現切換App時也會跳全畫面廣告，甚至要刪除錄音檔也跳全畫面廣告，是有多愛廣告？這樣的作法，我不會想去購買正式版。

### 5/5 — Amazing app love it

*2017-04-16*

It's so worth it get it then the full app
Great for writing notes but the voice recorder The voice recorder is great for a quick 
Not if you haven't got time to write it

### 2/5 — Mr.

*2016-11-17, version 5.4*

Won't return to text or what you used last - have to select every time. Pop up advertising very inconvenient. I would upgrade but can't see any advantage.

### 5/5 — N/A

*2016-10-01, version 5.4*

This program is great. I hope AudioNote sells A lot of copies of this app.

### 3/5 — It's OK, but nothing stellar

*2016-05-06*

The ink note taking is rudimentary at best, with no obvious ability to change the width of the ink or anything else. It's pretty apparent that it's not optimized for the Apple Pencil either.

I like the fact you can replay the recording and see what was typed or inked, but don't like the fact it doesn't start the playback with a blank canvas, instead it just highlights the ink or text in blue.

Also, there's no obvious way to highlight ink, just text.

### 5/5 — 진엠씨

*2016-04-13*

구매내역삭제부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — review rating

*2016-03-12, version 5.3*
