It was recommended to me by a co-worker and I love it and have used it successfully until now. I have it both on my phone and iPad. It is the most used app I have. I use it for everything. My problem is it does not sync from my phone to my IPad and vice versa. I have been trying to physically set them up alike and it’s taking F.O.R.E.V.E.R. Also, in trying to do this I’ve tried to copy and paste, but it one will not accept it from the other, either way.. phone to iPad and vice versa. Am I doing something wrong? I don’t want to quit using it, or just use it on one device but that seems to be my only option at this point. I’m hoping you can give me some tips that may help me in transferring notes from one device to the other. My goal is to have them both have the same information on them. Thank you.. ### 3/5 — Won't change default calendar! *2024-11-12, version 8.9.12* The app will not allow the default calendar to be changed in this iPad version. ### 4/5 — Such a shame that it is no longer supported *2024-05-30, version 8.9.12* This is my go to app. It’s such a shame that the developers have abandoned this. I would love to have some widgets available for it. ### 3/5 — What’s happen? *2024-05-04, version 8.9.12* I really love this app…. Have a lot of safe staff there… But now I can not work with that, it s open so slow and all the time frizzing… I d like my Asome notes back! Please! ### 4/5 — Needs Update *2024-02-24, version 8.9.12* Please update the app its been 5 years and it’s buggy now. Thx ### 3/5 — Need Apple Pencil integration *2024-01-28, version 8.9.12* I do like this app. But needs to have Apple Pencil integration for hand written notes. This is the reason why I do not use this anymore. But so far is the best layout I have seen but no pencil so I moved on. Unless someone knows a way. ### 3/5 — I love this app, but… *2024-01-13, version 8.9.12* 1/12/2024 updated: I’ve use this app from very beginning, probably 10 years ago. I love love this app! However, after these few years, probably from three years ago, it looks like has some problems. 1. When I try to delete notes, it keep crashed. It will jump out the app. 2. It was can sync to Google doc, but now only can sync to Everynote. It is fine. However, some parts of Evernote is not as good as this app. Why should I download the other similar app to do similar job? 3. I would suggest add a ‘export to PDF’ function. I mean all notes explore to PDF together, not one by one. Then it will be perfect and not necessary to save in somewhere server. ### 4/5 — Why? *2024-01-05, version 8.9.12* This is a great app with many functions but the developer has not updated it for years. It is one app I would gladly pay a non subscription based fee if I knew it would be updated. ### 3/5 — Come on, Developer, how about an update!? *2023-10-03, version 8.9.12* Was once the best! Now a long way behind! Still works but surely time for an update!!?? ### 3/5 — Customer support *2023-07-29, version 8.9.12* Does this app even exist anymore? I need help restoring a file! How do I contact you? Marji Sakievich ### 4/5 — Devs if you’re reading this… *2023-03-17, version 8.9.12* Please update Awesome Note! I’ve been using this app as my diary for over a literal decade now and I’m devastated that it appears it has been left to eventually become obsolete due to iOS incompatibility. I have backups of the contents on my cloud of course, but that’s not the same as the homely feel of the app’s interface with its customized folders and colorful backgrounds. ### 2/5 — App crashes without warning! iOS 16 *2023-01-08* Please provide an update for latest iOS version 16.2 to prevent random app crash ### 2/5 — No longer supported? *2022-11-25, version 8.9.12* I loved this app, but with no updates in 4 years, I quit using it. I’ve had other apps “disappear after not being properly updated - so buyer beware. ### 5/5 — Great app but needs an update *2021-10-20, version 8.9.12* Used this app for years and has so many features. But time for the developers to update it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — To Dos, All Zapped!! Gone! …WTF! *2025-11-10, version 8.9.12* Why?? ### 1/5 — Password reset does not work since many years!!! *2022-11-14, version 8.9.12* One of Awesome Note’s features is a passport-protected folders. I have forgotten the password and the app offers me to reset my password using an email I had specified in the app. However, I never receive the reset email, and it is not in the spam folder. What is worse is that no backup nor synchronization is possible without the forgotten password. I have contacted you many times without a reply. And this has been going on for YEARS NOW!!! If the app is not able to do such basic task, then it lacks the most basic standards of reliability and a miserable customer service. Admit to the customers that you are unable to solve this problem instead of making them delete and reinstall the app, hence losing all the data. Fix this, or give the customers their money back and compensate them for the data they lost. ### 1/5 — Developers out of business *2022-08-16, version 8.9.12* This app has crashed and can’t be restored. ItDefaults to a password that doesn’t exist. All my data from years and years has been lost. Be very very careful with this application. If there is anyway you can export or offload your data do it immediately before you lose everything! ### 1/5 — Consistent Error, Developers gone, DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2022-07-26, version 8.9.12* I have used this app for years and since updating recently to a new iPad I have an error that pops up every time I try and use it. “Error The client provided is not authorized to access the request”. I have tried contacting the developers via FB and have had no reply. The Brid webpage is dead, so I think this app will follow soon. This app has not been updated since 2018. Am now looking for a new diary app, disappointed. ### 1/5 — Used to love it! *2022-03-03, version 8.9.12* Now it is just ABANDONED WARE!! Too bad… ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing *2022-01-25, version 8.9.12* I paid for this app and thinking that it was an good app for calendar’s and notes and all that it says it’s for…but every time I get to try an delete something it’s keeps crashing on me when I’m pressing the delete button are trying to make an appointment for something else and when I be trying to do voice recording I do~not like this app I want my money back thank you. what’s use of using something that you can not use because it’s keeping on crashing so please refund me my money back. ### 1/5 — Sync not working for years *2020-11-25, version 8.9.12* iCloud Sync not working or extremely buggy for years and developer doesn’t seem to care... ### 1/5 — Sync issues *2019-01-23, version 8.9.12* This would be a great app if iCloud sync worked consistently and accurately. Without this being fixed the app is useless for me. What a shame. This app has a lot of potential. ### 1/5 — Text Editing STINKS *2018-12-31, version 8.9.12* My entire negative review can be summed up by saying the developer does not know how to make bullet points work. There appears to be no knowledge of how an outline works which makes taking organized notes (a fairly common use for a notes application) impossible without manually tabbing every time an indent is required. Since this is perhaps the most basic function in all known word processing applications, I find using the app to be impossible and annoying to deal with. I baled-out for Notability which does everything perfectly. ### 1/5 — Does not fully support iOS 12 *2018-11-18, version 8.9.12* Despite the claim that there is full support for iOS 12, that’s not true as there is still no support for split screen on iPads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great, most used app *2024-10-11, version 8.9.12* My most used app. Works because at the beginning it synced with Evernote for me not iCloud ,grandfathered, but is a much better interface. ### 5/5 — To me the better Note App you can get, but lack ofupdates *2023-09-24, version 8.9.12* I love this app; I dont believe that you will find another note app with a more simplistic way to organize the notes; the folder view is the crucial feature, plus the way it allows the user to create backup files. I wish the developer find ways to keep promoting this app to become popular again (for the lack of updates, it seems to me that this app is no longer a priority for the developer) ### 5/5 — PERFECT *2023-06-25, version 8.9.12* I literally was in the process of making a review on the iPhone app to say it needs an iPad version and then I found this! I love this app and have been using it for years! ### 5/5 — Great little app - needs updating please! *2023-05-13, version 8.9.12* Have lots of notes in aNote - would hate to lose them if the app is not updated and removed from the App Store. ### 5/5 — Really great but. Update 2023 *2023-03-19, version 8.9.12* They do not support this app. Over 4 yrs since last update. It would be helpful if you could attach docs or PDF to notes. It's a bummer it won't sync with your calendar. Google cal at least. But it is a very nice app. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2023-03-10, version 8.9.12* Can’t tell you how many times I use this APP per day but it’s a BUNCH! Absolutely love it! Thank you ### 5/5 — Best Notes App *2023-02-08, version 8.9.12* Seriously this is one of the best note apps I've used, although I use some other apps. It's beautiful, organized, and so easy to use. I'm really glad that I got it :) But the bad thing is that This version isn't available on the phone, so I have to buy it again for the phone, but it's still a great app! ### 5/5 — To me this is the perfect Note app *2022-12-17, version 8.9.12* I love this app, its easy and practical, I wish it become more popular so the developer invest more time on it ### 5/5 — Love this app *2022-03-06, version 8.9.12* I’m not one who writes a lot of reviews….I’ve had this app for years now. I truly enjoyed the many features of it. My primary use is for the diary. It lets me keep a password protected diary that I use most mornings as I have my coffee. Just wanted to tell the developer that I truly enjoy this app. ### 5/5 — Truly The Best *2021-10-28, version 8.9.12* As others have said, nothing tops this app… I would gladly pay a subscription… and I don’t understand why such a fantastic app seems to have no more support from its developer. I use Awesome Note and sync with Evernote so that I won’t lose my info when this app disappears. Until that time, I keep looking for a reasonable substitute. Can’t find one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
