Außerdem stellt sich das Problem, was mit den Notizen geschieht, wenn man nicht mehr bereit ist, die Gebühr zu bezahlen. Sind Sie dann beim Teufel? Das müsste irgendwo in einer Bedienungsanleitung erläutert werden. ### 5/5 — Solid app, needs even more security features *2025-12-24, version 2.2.17* Solid app, works just like Apple's native "Notes" app. The 4-digit PIN is a bit fine, but additional security layers would be a welcome respite from the cold winds blowing in. Also, I want to be transmogrified into an elephant. ### 5/5 — Buenazo mi corazón *2025-11-29, version 2.2.17* Me gusta Pero la aplicación se cierra inesperadamente por la batería baja 13% ### 5/5 — Love *2025-11-23, version 2.2.17* I like being able to keep some notes safe from prying eyes should someone get a hold of my phone. ### 5/5 — Safe Notetaking *2025-10-10, version 2.2.17* I use Lock Notes to temporarily keep records and maintain information I need to have handy on my iPhone. I've used it for to-do lists, phone numbers, ID numbers, account numbers and password reminders. I've set it to use Face ID so that if I tap the app button, Lock Notes opens for me. Anyone else will be able to open it without the passcode, which I've memorized and not written down. The Lock Notes app is extremely handy whenever I'm away from my home and files but find I need to provide personal info I haven't memorized. Lock Notes has made so many regular tasks not only easier but much more secure. Best app purchase I've made in years! ### 5/5 — Recommandation !! *2025-10-09* Incroyable je l’utilise depuis peu et c’est vraiment bien , même en quittant l’appli 2 secondes il refait le code pour y retourner très pratique pour sécurisé se que vous ne voulez pas que les autres vois je recommande a 100% 5 étoiles mériter ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-02, version 2.2.17* Simple and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-09-25, version 2.2.17* Excellent. Does what it’s supposed to do ### 5/5 — Bon produit *2025-09-18, version 2.2.17* Le produit répond à mes attentes ### 5/5 — Fácil usar y segura *2025-08-31, version 2.2.17* Muy buena app ### 5/5 — Good App *2025-08-26, version 2.2.17* I only needed this app to protect notes I have... this app serves the purpose. I haven't had a need to make any additional in-app purchases... don't really see a need to. Works good for what I needed it for. ### 5/5 — Simple, perfect *2025-08-23, version 2.2.17* Does what it says on the tin ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not Free Anymore *2026-08-24, version 2.2.17* I’ve had this app for years across all my different phones and other tech. 226 notes. Just today they introduced a “pro version”. You now have to pay $7 a month. Bs ### 1/5 — 1 star *2026-02-05, version 2.2.17* I personally don’t like this app. I downloaded it so i could keep my poems in there but I tried to make another note and it says i need to pay. Don’t get it, you only get a few notes. Maybe there is a way you can make more without paying but it’s not easy to figure out ### 1/5 — De pago *2025-10-23, version 2.2.17* No te deja utilizar si no pagas ### 1/5 — J’ai tout perdu!! *2025-10-15, version 2.2.17* L’appli a automatiquement supprimé tout le contenu pour me demander de passer à une version upgradé à 17,99 euros par mois! Du vol et en plus je ne peux plus récupérer mes contenus… ### 1/5 — Pointless app *2025-08-29, version 2.2.17* I used this app for about 4 years , saved everything important Face ID unlock . Go to unlock today doesnt register my face and locks me out my account. I come back type in my security question to gain access opens account and everything has been deleted there is no point having a security question if by answering it that’s what causes a reset on your account . Looked online snd that’s actually how the apps designed it’s there security feature . Your good untill you have an issue and instant delete . Terrible won’t be ever using ahain. ### 1/5 — Worst App *2025-06-18, version 2.2.17* App will tell you to subscribe and pay a lot of money, otherwise it will delete all your notes when you don’t expect it. Don’t bother installing this app, there are plenty of better alternatives. I would NOT install this app. ### 1/5 — Nulle *2025-02-25, version 2.2.17* Lamentable. Après création d’une note il faut payer pour en créer d’autres. Arnaque totale. Dommage l’appli avait l’air sympa, dans le même style que son mon ancien tel mais elle gratuite. Désinstallé de suite ### 1/5 — Cannot find *2025-02-19, version 2.2.17* I am looking for a $4.99 cannot find it because they want you to buy the $10 one ### 1/5 — Used To Be Free *2024-10-17, version 2.2.17* Now I have to pay up to access notes I’ve kept for 7+ years ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2024-10-02, version 2.2.17* Used to be a great app but now that they have gotten greedy, can not add anymore notes without paying $10 so totally useless now. Time to find another app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — How good is the app is *2026-08-08, version 2.2.17* This is so good I could get type 10 secure ### 5/5 — Le Top *2026-06-26* Très bon app, simple et intuitive même dans sa version gratuite propose de très bonnes options ### 5/5 — Bill *2026-05-26, version 2.2.17* East to add notes. Lots of space for longer notes. Good protection. ### 5/5 — lock Notes *2026-05-25* Хорошо! ### 5/5 — Súper buena *2026-05-11, version 2.2.17* Muy segura ### 5/5 — Круто 🤘 *2026-04-15, version 2.2.17* ☺️ ### 5/5 — Nice and secure *2026-04-13, version 2.2.17* It can keep my new passcodes safe and passwords and privacy information instead of regular apple notes😅 ### 5/5 — Really good game *2026-03-21, version 2.2.17* Five stars ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2026-03-02, version 2.2.17* Muy bueno ### 5/5 — Notiztresor *2026-01-30, version 2.2.17* Das Handy selbst hat ja auch eine PIN trotzdem kann es ja sein das jemand anders was lesen kann deswegen brauchbar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
