It on said 'Welcome to locknots'. ### 3/5 — Almost perfect *2025-09-29, version 1.2.1* I love this app. It’s awesome to be able to put notes on my Lock Screen. My only wish would be to be able to change font size. The font for the app is too small for me to read without my reading glasses. UPDATE. App creator added ads, which I don’t have a problem with, but the ad runs every time I hit enter. It should be no more that one ad every session, not every click. ### 2/5 — Don’t bother *2025-09-19, version 1.2.0* Just awful. Doesn’t work at all and there’s an add after ever note. Zero stars! Bummer. ### 2/5 — time *2025-05-21, version 1.1.0* takes way to long to save ### 4/5 — Loading circle of doom *2025-05-09, version 1.1.0* It takes forever to save it seems. Maybe I don’t have any patients but it’s frustrating. ### 1/5 — Still waiting for app work *2025-01-23, version 1.1.0* I made the note, saved the note, hit place on locked screen and after 10 minutes still spinning. Also, howtogeek.com wrote an article on 9/23/23 that stars this app is “free forever”, “never ads”. I found the free one rather than the $4.00 one. Is this why it’s not working? ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-12-04, version 1.1.0* Never worked on my iPhone ! No point in downloading. ### 1/5 — can't add widget where i want it *2024-05-02, version 1.1.0* i want the widget below my clock so i can have full text but only allows above the clock which only shows maybe 3 words ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-12-20* Just says “saving” forever but never adds to the Lock Screen. Even after it says in the app that it’s on the Lock Screen, it isn’t. ### 1/5 — Fail *2023-10-03, version 1.1.0* Doesn’t work on my iPhone 13 mini running iOS 16. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — could be great, but instead terrible *2026-04-18, version 1.2.1* I cannot believe that there is not like a one time purchase fee to buy this app and instead you must always watch ads whenever you wanna do anything. Absolutely terrible ### 1/5 — Don’t want the naked people in the ads *2026-03-10, version 1.2.1* What the title states. The ad had naked people on it. Not appropriate for this kind of app ### 1/5 — waste of time *2026-01-18, version 1.2.1* horrible app with no functionality, genuinely an unfinished and non refined product; simply an ad machine and data consumer. ### 1/5 — Ad for every note *2025-12-01, version 1.2.1* It works, it’s free, but it makes you watch an ad every time you make a change to the note. Bit of a joke really ### 1/5 — ℒℴ𝒸𝓀 𝒩ℴ𝓉ℯ𝓈 *2025-10-28, version 1.2.1* 𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒜𝓅𝓅 𝒾𝓈 𝓈ℴ 𝒻𝒶𝓀ℯ 𝒾 𝒸𝒶𝓃𝓉 ℯ𝓋ℯ𝓃 𝓅𝓊𝓉 𝓂𝓎 𝓌𝒾𝒹ℊℯ𝓉 ℴ𝓃 𝓂𝓎 𝓁ℴ𝒸𝓀 𝓈𝒸𝓇ℯℯ𝓃 ### 1/5 — Saving, please wait….. *2025-05-14, version 1.1.0* Spinning wheel ### 1/5 — Endless loading *2025-05-03, version 1.1.0* Such a shame, really looking forward to this app but it won't stop loading ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-04-11, version 1.1.0* It never even shows up on the Lock Screen or anywhere else🙄🤦🏼‍♀️doesn’t even fulfill what it’s created for. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-03-04, version 1.1.0* A real pity. But the interface doesn’t scale properly, it gets stuck infinitely “saving” notes ### 1/5 — Didn’t Work *2025-02-25, version 1.1.0* Several attempts and would just spin stating it was savings, but didn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2026-06-10, version 2.0.0* I was looking for a app to put contact information on my Lock Screen in case I ever lost my phone. This app does exactly that and makes it very easy to set up. ### 5/5 — genius! *2025-12-09, version 1.2.1* this app is so easy to use & it does exactly what i need it to - thanks! ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-19, version 1.2.1* It works fine idk why the other reviews say that it’s garbage ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2025-08-06* I love this app. It’s awesome to be able to put notes on my Lock Screen. My only wish would be to be able to change font size. The font for the app is too small for me to read without my reading glasses. ### 5/5 — Shuu🦋🦋 *2025-05-13, version 1.1.0* Hamble & kindness ### 5/5 — Happiest *2025-05-08, version 1.1.0* Good job ### 5/5 — New *2025-02-02, version 1.1.0* I love this app because it puts my name on my Lock Screen ### 5/5 — Buena idea pero no carga. *2024-08-11, version 1.1.0* Buena idea como producto pero no carga. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-05-16, version 1.1.0* Works perfectly, does exactly what it promised. No fees adds or anything. Well worth the download. ### 5/5 — Don’t quit 🇺🇸 *2023-11-04, version 1.1.0* Never say never 👌🏿 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
