I’ve never written a review but this deserved one
I’ve used every note app in the App Store and always end up back on my iPhone notes app…until now. It’s perfect. Visually refined. Clean. The typography is so refreshing. I believe it’s their font which is cool. Shows they care. One of the reasons the other apps frustrate me is they’re all too clunky. This one is as simple as Notes but has every possible features cleverly hidden. The way menus are built is so intuitive. Endless ways to easily organize without the clutter of endless folders. You can customize everything. I can’t believe I’m saying this but it makes me feel good using it. lol Incredible job by the developers. Please make other apps. This level of artistry in app design is desperately needed. The craziest part it’s $30 a YEAR! Immediately cancelled my Evernote subscription which was $12 a month and sucks compared to this app.

Best Note-Taking Experience
I’ve been using this app for years, and it’s still one of my favorites. I really like how simple and easy it is to use. The overall experience is smooth, and syncing between my devices works perfectly.
The themes look great, and typing in Markdown is such a nice experience. Thanks to the whole team for making such an awesome app and continuing to improve it!

Everything is GONE.
I love this app. I have been using it for probably several years at this point. I have kept everything in my notes, and I happen to tap too fast getting into the app, thinking I’m getting a “leave a review” pop up; they asked to make storage on my device and EVERYTHING is deleted, not even in the trash can, I mean completely gone! I hope there is a way to get them back, I hadn’t made any backups 🥲

Good markdown viewer, not a fan of tags, expensive subscription
I’m looking for a new Notes app. I like the color themes that Bear offers. The app looks really good too. The text and paragraph formatting options are limited though. Bear is good as a markdown viewer. What I don’t like, however: 1) in order to create folders and nested folders, I have to use tags 2) I was also very turned off by the subscription.. $30 a year? I’d like to see a reasonable one-time pay, or reasonable yearly subscription price. $30 a year is patently absurd if you’re not a heavy user and only just using the app as a markdown viewer.

Clunky messy ui
Sure it looks "clean" at first but it automatically adds markups that show every time you try to edit a word. So if you delete part of it you end up with bunch of asterisks to delete. That's not clean. Would prefer no markups at all. And having to pull up a secondary keyboard for every formatting task gets tiresome and kills work flow. Why not a long press menu for frequent formatting functions? And can't select more than one cell in tables. Honestly would rather go back to apple notes if wasn't so slow on my older device.
