### 1/5 — Doesn’t backup to iCloud

*2026-08-10, version 5.4.3*

The app no longer syncs to iCloud so can’t download my backup.

### 1/5 — Need Widgets

*2026-06-19, version 5.4.3*

How are there no widgets for this app on iPhone? I’ve had the app for years and on android it was super easy to add a note to my home page for a grocery list or to-do list. I should be able to do the same exact thing using this app by just adding a widget without having to do work around or using other apps

### 1/5 — Worked for a time

*2026-04-20*

After I got a new phone and resinstalled this app my back up files from iCloud were not importing back so I lost everything. Epic fail

### 5/5 — Simple. Straightforward. Easy to use

*2026-04-15, version 5.4.3*

Love this app. It’s easy to create notes and checklists and love that you can set up reminders.

### 1/5 — Broken update for older iOS versions

*2026-03-24, version 5.4.3*

I have been a loyal user of this app for about 8 years, but the latest update completely broke it on my iPhone running iOS 18. Now I only see a white screen. It’s extremely disappointing that an update meant to fix things for the newest systems has made the app unusable for long-time users. I have 8 years' worth of data trapped inside that I can no longer access. Please fix the backward compatibility!

### 5/5 — Love ❤️ this app!

*2026-03-06, version 5.4.3*

Great for organizing and keeping records.

### 2/5 — You broke it.

*2026-03-03, version 5.4.3*

Worked better before the latest update.

### 1/5 — Still messed up

*2026-02-27, version 5.4.3*

The app is still not syncing to iCloud, although if you read the app description it clearly says, “it syncs with iCloud so you never lose a note.” That is false advertising! 
And, I still can’t change the font colors. So the only way to see the menu options within the notes is to make every note black. 🤬 Fix it!!

Update 2/28/26: I’ve decided to uninstall this app. Not gonna use it anymore until it will sync with iCloud again and app support is easy to contact. Not everyone has Facebook. 🤬

### 1/5 — App Inote

*2026-02-22, version 5.4.3*

Me está dando problemas el app Inote que derrepente ya no me aparecieron todas las notas que tenía guardadas y cuando voy a ajustes del app me dice que: La sincronización de ICloud se ha discontinuado con el IPhone que puedo hacer que necesito todas las notas que había guardado por los datos de las notas bueno eso es todo y gracias de antemano 

P.D. La verdad me gustaba el app de Inote por guardaba muchas notas pero ahora estoy decepcionado con el app

### 3/5 — Duplicate Notes Issue

*2026-02-18*

I noticed I have duplicate notes from every time I’ve imported my notes. I attempted to clean them up by deleting duplicates, but after I close the app and open it, the duplicates I deleted are still there. Can you please fix that?
There are other issues I’ve noticed since the latest update, like after I open a note, the only way to go back to list view is to close and open the app. The other issue is the two icons on the upper left and right corners are just blank squares. I can send a screenshot if you provide an email.
