### 1/5 — NOT WORTHY OF RATING

*2022-02-23*

Stuck on the Purchase Page and already paid for a YEAR!  Send email to developer and asked for assistance or refund and have not heard back.  I want refund.

**Developer response:** This user's purchase did not go through and no funds were ever collected.   To make up for their inconvenience we gave them a complimentary subscription and worked with them through our support channel to help them get it up and running.

### 1/5 — Worthless since it will not run

*2021-09-24*

Stuck on Purchase page even after I received my receipt Free trial requires purchase a lousy practice in my book

**Developer response:** A free trial is actually offered.  No purchase is required in order to try the product.

### 3/5 — Trying out the NOTATE FIRST...

*2021-04-26*

Just to be fair, I have yet to grade the product yet. When two weeks are up, I shall return and complete the other half...
Three stars for now, it would have been 2.5 to give them up. 

Super excited to try your new product NOTATE out and get a feel of it! I hope this app ROCKS!

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2020-04-20*

I finally have a way to access all my Outlook notes and tasks.  I was surprised to see that I can also edit email attachments.
