User reviews

Great app with faithful devs

I've watched this app grow for years, and benefited from using it to organize and revisit my thoughts. It provides a clean, gentle experience that's rare in the digital world.

Can't even open without a sub.

Yep, I can't even open the app without signing up for a subscription. Junk! Get UpNote instead.

Pt-Br e pleeease =)

I really liked the app ideia and Iโ€™d pay for it with no doubt IF it worked well in pt-br. I know youโ€™re at the beginning, but when itโ€™s possible, make pt-br available please =)

No updates to this app for 4 months.

As of the writing of this review there has been no update to this app for 4 months. We can probably say goodbye to Napkin. Be careful before subscribing in any capacity.

Worth zero stars

Hardly any updates or added features. App is languishing for two years without any improvements. Waste of time and money.

Response from developer

The web app is an early prototype, which is still loved by many and live without any downtime for around three years. See bottom section of https://napkin.one Over the years we talked to thousands of beta users of the web app and it became clear that a lightweight mobile app would fit the needs of most of them much better. That's why we shifted our energy to building the mobile app. Again, we tested this with thousands of beta users before bringing it to the App Store. Of course, there will further improvements on the app, but the overall concept is proven already and won't change.
