### 5/5 — Really nice app but definitely needs updated

*2025-10-29*

I just started using this app this morning and it’s super easy to use. It’s totally great for those of us with ADHD. But it does need updated big time. It says the last update was six months ago. Please make sure this app gets updated. Also good work.

### 5/5 — Love this. But need to have export feature.

*2024-07-11*

Love this. But need to have export feature.

**Developer response:** Definitely! Your notes are always yours. 

I’m currently actively working on it and other features. Let me know if you have any suggestions. hi@hexpresso.app

### 4/5 — Very helpful (but has bugs)

*2023-06-21*

Hi! I tried to email you (the developers), but there was no reply. 

First, I want to *thank you* for making the CircleNote app! I downloaded it a few days ago, and it has been very helpful to me. 

I signed up for the Pro plan, but I have two problems:

1) I am unable to Copy/Paste from the app more than one time before needing to restart my phone. If I do not restart it, it will do nothing when I click “Paste”. Very frustrating! Is there a bug fix for this? It’s a significant problem. 

2) I got a notice saying I had reached a limit of “16,000 times quota” and was unable to complete my work for 13 hours. That does not make sense to me. First, what does “16,000 times” mean? 16,000 characters? Also, I feel I should have unlimited use as a Pro paying user. I do not feel there should be a limit with the Pro plan. 

Please let me know if you are able to fix these issues. 

Thank you! 😊

I will give a very enthusiastic FIVE STARS if you fix these!

**Developer response:** Thanks for liking CircleNote, and thanks for the feedback!

I'm sorry I was on vacation the other day and didn't see your email. I have followed up on the issues you mentioned here via email.
