User reviews

wow!💕

Simple and helpful!

Long time fan

I’ve been using this App for many years and just wanted to give some appreciation. Still the best for quick notes. Much thanks to the dev team!

No in-app purchases, actual normal person sane design

That’s it. I don’t want a “premium plan,” on my notes app. I don’t want to use software that invariably crashes when I try to resize a sticky note. I don’t want a built-in chatbot generative AI.

This app is somehow the only program in the entire iOS App Store that fulfills all three.

Kudos to the dev team 🙏

I never review anything

I’ve been using this app for about 5 years instead of the normal notes app. It’s been absolutely game changer. It’s quick. Simple and doesn’t take up a crazy amount of storage. It’s made my life a lot easier and I like being able to open a new section so easily. Thank you guys for making this app!

No undo or redo feature

Unfortunately, the lack of an undo or redo feature means this app is unusable for me as a note taking app. This may not be an issue on desktop or if Cntrl+Z is available, however this unfortunately is not the case on Ipad. If there is such a feature on Better Notes that I have somehow missed then please inform me & I shall update my review accordingly.

FAQ

What does Better Notes + Lists and Todos do?

This app is designed for organizing notes and lists using a unique hashtag system. You can type hashtags into your notes to link them together, making it easy to find related information. It also identifies phone numbers, email addresses, and web links within your notes, allowing you to interact with them directly.

How do I organize my notes with hashtags?

Simply type a '#' followed by your desired keyword into any note. For example, '#work' or '#groceries'. All notes containing the same hashtag will be automatically linked. Tapping on a hashtag will display all associated notes, creating a connected web of your thoughts and tasks.

Is this app free to use?

Can I add photos to my notes?

What kind of lists can I create?

You can create simple checklists within your notes. By typing a dash followed by a space ('- '), you initiate a list item. You can then tap on these list items to mark them as completed, helping you track tasks and to-dos.
