Sign In? Sign Up? Just for a note app:
You gotta be kidding! A note app should simply open when launched. Open up and start writing notes. You need to point out how this "sign up to use" app differentiates itself from such wll-established apps as OneNote, which is free.
Looks cool. Can’t try the full experience.
I look forward to trying it once there’s a trial of the full experience. Connected notes and tasks are what makes this app unique, but aren’t available in the free version.
Disappointed
Worked fine for a couple of days - now just crashes on opening regardless of re-install, re-boot and so forth. Unuseable
Promising idea
I agree with all the reviews about the account and limited ability to try it.
I’m in looking for Note app that allows me to set a reminder. I’m not going to pay $3 without being able to try it first especially without the ability to use Apple Id to sign in.
I hope this developer gets his act together as this is a good idea but as of now one that I s poorly executed.
I hope that I make I hope that in the near future I can change this review into a positive one

Needs Sign-in with Apple
This app is promising. It addresses my core use case: notes with integrated tasks. However, you are required to create an account to use or even try the app. The problem is that the account signup options are limited to Google or Goob. Seriously? This is an iOS app — so why is Sign In with Apple not an option while Google (a downright evil company) or Goob (an unknown quantity) is??
These limited authentication options mean that I will never get the chance to experience Goob — unless Sign In with Apple is added. I simply refuse to compromise my online security or sovereignty by trusting them to either a known identity broker (Google) or an unproven entity (Goob).
Net-net: This app will remain unused until Sign In with Apple is added as an authentication option.

App Doesn’t Even Open
Tried to use the app, but it crashes upon being launched. Since the app doesn’t work, it gets one star.
No use to me
I thought this was a good alternative to Apple Notes, not even close. The biggest complaint is that any image attached is buried in attachments and fails to show as part of the note.
Not impressed, deleted.

Worst onboarding experience
Need to create an account to get in. Need to pay to try out what seems to be key features. 80% of things you tap will lead you to “purchase me” page.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We're working to introduce a trial version that will allow new users to try all features for a limited period. We hope you'll come back for a trial!
Pretty much worthless
Downloaded the “free” version to see if it was worth purchasing. First thing it tells me to do is create folders. Okay. But in order to create a folder, you need the purchased version. Purchased version is also needed to create tasks. In fact, the purchased version is needed to do anything other than basic notes. Apple already has an app for notes - so why do I need Gooba?

Being in Apple Ecosystem isn't CROSS-PLATFORM
Cross platform means a web interface, mac, windows, linux, android and iOS app. This isn't cross-platform.
Response from developer
We don't think we've ever said that Gooba is a cross-platform app. In the app description we specified that it is an app that, currently, is only available for the Apple ecosystem (watchOS and macOS will arrive soon). Thank you!
Great for me!
I’ve been trying out note-taking apps for about 3 months now to see what works best for me. Gooba keeps everything simple and has all of my necessities in a sleek package. Would highly recommend for anyone who manages their life on their phone.

Thank you so much! We will continue to do our best!
