But I cannot scroll down when editing, I cannot see what I am typing until I hit save. ### 2/5 — Love / Hate *2026-06-24, version 2.2* Love the concept of licking my notes but the userbility in the app is so frustrating. You can't see down the bottom of the screen to edit/read notes! ### 3/5 — App is ok *2026-03-11, version 2.2* Keeps notes safe but cannot figure out how to delete unused notes and dates entered. They just stay on page. ### 4/5 — please fix this! *2026-01-21, version 2.2* really good but when i type a long paragraph it won't let me scroll down to see what im writing so i literally have to just guess and i can't edit either because it won't scroll ### 2/5 — mot de passe oublié *2025-11-21* j'ai changé mon mot de passe et je l'ai oublié, malheureusement il n'y a pas de fonction mot de passe oublié donc tout est perdu ### 4/5 — Forget password *2024-12-13, version 2.2* How to unlock notes ### 2/5 — Notes not in alphabetical order! *2024-05-06, version 2.2* I have emailed the developer many times to find out if it is possible to get the Notes in alphabetical order, as it is a pain having to scroll through them to find the info required. Have never had my enquiry acknowledged, let alone addressed. ### 3/5 — Passcode change *2023-09-27, version 2.2* My iPad allows my 4 figure passcode but my iPhone doesn’t show the calculator to input my 4 figure passcode. Help. Been using this app forever! ### 3/5 — The new update messed it up *2023-05-02, version 2.2* Ever since the new update came it skips around the document when I scroll and it’s so annoying. I also miss the search feature you got rid of :( ### 3/5 — Latest IOS update screwed things up??? *2023-03-06, version 2.2* Notes are jumbled together on the screen 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ### 2/5 — I can’t search! *2023-02-16, version 2.2* It worked great and all of a sudden I can no longer search in my notes making it impossible to find anything quickly. Will this feature be added back? ### 2/5 — Lock Notes (One Wave AB ) *2023-01-17, version 2.2* This was the best app I found. It "was" simple and easy to use. But now for some reason it freezes up . I purchased this app months maybe even a year back upon discovering it. Only because it was simple and not cluttered with features I don't need. But not it has glitches. Freezes up upon the passcode page so I can't enter the password or do anything else. When I tried to restore my purchase the left side panel disappear where it has all the settings. It's just now a black side panel with no accces to notes, albums, or anything. ### 3/5 — Good but not great *2023-01-06, version 2.2* I like this app, but feel it is missing some important features. It does not have a search function, nor a delete button. I use the app to hold some passwords and if I am looking for a specific password, I have to open up each tab to try and find what I’m looking for. I’ve also made a tab for something that I no longer want. There’s no delete button, so I’m not able to delete it, for me, it is just clutter now. It also does not have the feature to share, which is fine because I figured I’ll just copy and paste. However, that is not an option either. Besides those three issues, everything else works well. ### 4/5 — Please update *2022-11-22, version 2.2* This is a fantastic app but it seriously needs a cloud backup option and for some reason the search function was removed in the latest update. Please fix these issues and the app will be completely perfect. ### 4/5 — Please update to work with iOS 16 *2022-10-23, version 2.2* There's a glitch in iOS 16 where the screen will not scroll down when you reach a new life of text, which makes using this app very inconvenient. I have been using it for years and have been very happy with it, so I hope this can be fixed soon. Thank you ### 3/5 — Disappointed with recent update *2022-10-22, version 2.2* Been using this app for years and always worked but with the recent update and with iOS 16, there is no search line built into the app. It has disappeared. Please correct it ### 3/5 — No way to contact developer *2022-05-08, version 2.2* I loved this app until I changed the passcode the one where you use your finger on the circles to draw a pattern and I forgot what pattern I used and now I can’t access the app with my very important information I need. There is no way to reset it either. I can’t contact the developer to ask how I can retrieve it . 🥲 ### 3/5 — Would like BUT *2022-03-19, version 2.2* Doesn’t always opens to spot to put password in. Very frustrated with it ### 2/5 — It was great until it wasn’t *2022-02-16, version 2.2* It worked great until I realized that once you typed past your keyboard you can’t scroll down to see what you are typing. You are just clicking the keyboard and hoping that it’s the right words. ### 2/5 — iOS 14 update *2022-02-09, version 2.2* I just updated the app. I don’t like the changes. The search bar is gone. And the fonts are smaller. Please fix it. ### 4/5 — Picture problem *2022-01-03, version 2.2* So I’ve accidentally put a few duplicate pictures in this app and no way to delete individual pictures off of the app. Can you guys please fix this? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs better support *2026-03-19, version 2.2* I locked myself out there’s no support to verify and reset ### 1/5 — Lock notes “original” *2023-09-14, version 2.2* I have had the lock notes original app since 2013 how do I delete a note there’s no delete button? ### 1/5 — Forgot password *2023-05-17, version 2.2* Forgot password need hep ### 1/5 — Search *2022-01-15, version 2.2* Search kısmı nereye gitti.

This feature is completely gone 2) you can’t delete notes now This is really terrible if you’re searching for old accounts you wrote a note on and you can’t find them now without looking through every note ever written. Also terrible if you no longer need something and can’t delete it. ### 1/5 — My App is locked on iOS 14.6??? *2021-07-01, version 2.2* Hi, I am not able to access your app on my recently updated iPhone to iOS 14.6 I had some important data in there and I am stuck !!!
