### 1/5 — 大家不要下载

*2026-08-13*

骗人的东西，故意把介绍图弄的很漂亮，功能很垃圾，连基本的笔记列表都没有，下载申请也不能退款

### 5/5 — Superpraktisch

*2026-07-17*

Es ist gar nicht so einfach, in herkömmlichen Notiz-Apps den Überblick zu behalten. Wer hat schon Lust, den Datenbestand zu pflegen? Da wirkt das Konzept von FiveNotes unaufdringlich erzieherisch: Fünf Notizen kann man erstellen, dann muss man sich von den veralteten oder unwichtig gewordenen trennen. 

Ich mag solche Apps, die das Pendant zum Haftzettel darstellen. Es gibt einige davon im App Store – FiveNotes gefällt mir aber am besten. Die Oberfläche ist ansprechend modern und intuitiv zu bedienen. Synchronisiert wird in der gesamten Apple-Welt. Verdiente fünf Sterne!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-01*

However, I’m not a fan of the keyboard automatically popping up when I open the app in v1.3.1. Would it be possible to add a toggle for this in the settings? Thanks!

### 5/5 — I cannot live without this app

*2025-08-23*

I really truly mean it. I run my entire life through this app. It’s perfect

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app for ADHD brains

*2025-08-09*

Find the limited number of notes and the colour coding means the app is not overwhelming and eye candy to use.

### 5/5 — Five Notes is like the Swiss Army knife

*2025-06-12*

Finally, an app that does one thing and actually does it well.

Five Notes is like the Swiss Army knife of minimalism — just five notes, no distractions, no feature bloat, no “AI summarizer,” no ads trying to sell me a course on productivity.

I came in skeptical (“Only five notes? What is this, a challenge?”) — and now I’m oddly obsessed. It made me focus. It made me delete. It made me… better?

10/10, would delete notes again.

**Developer response:** I’m really happy to read that, thank you!

### 5/5 — Gray Icon

*2025-05-23*

Пожалуйста сделайте серую иконку приложения

### 5/5 — Great little writing companion

*2024-11-27*

I really love this app. It’s a nice competitor to tot and feels more modern. It’s also more simplified from their sidenotes app, which is a plus for me. I’ve been looking for a scratch pad to dump text when I’m not on my computer. 

I know this is early days for the app, but I do have a wishlist for where I hope the developers go:

1) a quick launch shortcut from the Lock Screen. 

2) a widget that with gives an overview of either every note or the first several lines of just one. 

3) a more attractive icon (nit picky I know but a more discrete background would go a long way for me)

This is still a solid five stars for me and I’m thrilled to stumble across this app so early on.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-07-18*

Now if I could get my five notes on my watch that would rock. 🙏

**Developer response:** And now, here it is :)
