### 3/5 — Syncing Issues

*2026-01-19*

I really really like this app, but it's frustrating how I can't tell when the app on my phone and computer are synced together so I can work between devices at different times. I can't even tell which account my computer is logged in to because it doesn't show in settings, so that I can confirm both devices are connected to the same email. Also the mobile and desktop versions don't update all together; at the time of writing, the desktop version is at 6.9 while the mobile version is 5.3. I just wish there was more consistency, but if you only use it on one device, the app is very handy.

### 5/5 — Amazing APP ever

*2025-08-05*

this APP is amazing

### 5/5 — Keeps me on Track

*2025-04-14*

Helps me keep my information organized that I have extracted from AI. Great for my ADHD brain!

### 5/5 — 容易误删笔记

*2024-10-10*

喜欢简洁的书写环境～
这边有个小建议，command + back 通常删除整行文字的快捷键。但是按下去的时候会不小心删除掉这个笔记。

### 2/5 — 同步不了

*2024-09-10*

pc端这两天怎么老是同步不了手机端文档啊，一打开就是那个云下载中断的标识，明明我的网络都是正常的

### 5/5 — Nice interface

*2024-08-15, version 3.11.4*

fast speed of opening it.The minimalist style of the interface fits my aesthetic very well. I can't stand all the fancy ICONS and features of many apps.

### 5/5 — Absolutely great

*2024-06-07*

Saw a lot of negative reviews. I have no idea what it was like before but it's absolutely great for the past 2 years for me. I write novals and do a lot coding and this app makes it  fast and very easy for me to organize my docs. 

In terms of pricing, I would say yes it's not free, but most people would be satisfied with the free mode. And even if you decide to upgrade to pro, it's just few bucks each year.

### 5/5 — all in one笔记软件中很均衡，希望ai可以整合成功

*2024-05-13*

all in one笔记软件中很均衡，希望ai可以整合成功

### 5/5 — 目前用下来最舒服的笔记/文字创作App

*2024-04-16*

值得五星，值得订阅。

### 1/5 — App good,

*2024-03-17*

App is good, but they will hunt you down until you pay for an upgrade. 

You'll be remembered every minute, every second that you need to upgrade. That's the price for using it for free.

I don't mind paying for apps, but their pricing structure doesn't make sense for me.
