### 1/5 — 使いづらくなった

*2026-10-03*

長年愛用してきましたが最近限界を感じてます。時間を拘束される広告が増えてすぐ使いたい時に役に立たない、画面の1/3くらいを占める広告が表示されたりと、いくら無料で使わせてもらってるとはいえあからさますぎて辟易します。今はいろんな機能がついてますが正直必要ないので、最初の頃のようなシンプル　で　有料でも適正な価格のものを探すことにします。

### 5/5 — 使い勝手抜群

*2026-09-18*

大変機能が充実していて、望んでいたメモアプリだね❗️

### 1/5 — 最悪の改悪

*2026-05-03*

見終わるまで拘束されるタイプの広告が搭載。最初は使いやすかったが、どんどんと機能に制限が入っていっている。
開きたい時に開けないメモ帳に価値があるだろうか。

課金させたいのはわかるが、他の無料メモ帳アプリもありふれる中、広告消したいだけで月額400円はあり得ない。

### 5/5 — 素晴らしすぎる

*2025-10-13*

バックグラウンドも、リピートもできて素晴らしすぎます。いつもお世話になっていて、本当に感謝しています。声も綺麗でいいです。
ただ、他の愛用していたアプリもなんですが、1.2年前くらいだったら3万文字とか、10万文字くらいでも止まらずバグらず読み上げてくれていたのですが、今は3000文字くらいまでに抑えなければ読んでくれなくなりました。そこだけが残念ですが、3000文字でも充分に使えますしありがたいので星五です。

### 4/5 — とても良いアプリです

*2025-04-27*

使いやすい機能がたくさんついていてメモアプリとしてかなり良いです。音声読み上げ機能も使い方によっては便利です。

要望なのですが、メモから戻るときにスワイプで戻りたいのと、ダークモードに対応して欲しいです。

### 5/5 — 質問

*2025-02-05*

写真の貼り付け方がわからないのですが教えていただけないでしょうか？

### 1/5 — good but with bug

*2024-12-18, version 2.0.2*

Subscripted for 6 months plan ,only worked ok for an few hours,then all my saved data disappeared suddenly. So I cancelled my subscription at once -- Luckily in trial period

### 5/5 — 文字数カウント、読み上げ、便利です

*2024-06-10*

文字数カウントと読み上げがセットになっているのは珍しく思います。
趣味の創作で使ってみていますが、便利です。
読み上げは、書いている本人が読み直しても誤字や重複表現に気が付かないことがあるので、あると助かる機能でした！

保存履歴の一括削除もありがたいです。
履歴残るのは心強いですが、完成したら履歴は必要なくなるので一括削除は利便性が上がりました。
ありがとうございます！

### 5/5 — めちゃくちゃ役に立つ

*2024-06-08*

iPadで使用しているのですが使い勝手が良く重宝してます。
ありがとうございます

**Developer response:** 最新にアップデートして頂ければ転送できるようになっていると思います。
よろしくお願い致します。

### 3/5 — iCloudへのバックアップができません

*2024-02-04*
