### 4/5 — Duplication bug

*2026-03-30*

I’ve been using this app for years and love it, but with recent update there is a bug where it occasionally and unpredictably duplicates the most recent note and overwrites the second most recent note. It is frustrating and I have lost important information. Please address. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Great potential

*2025-12-24*

Disappointing reliability, occasionally lose an entry or it glitches and creates a second version - unable to trust shame I would have gone premium had it been reliable

### 1/5 — Issues now

*2024-12-20*

Suddenly I’m unable to open my notes after an update and I have many. What’s the deal? Can’t even access support for help.

### 2/5 — Help with this app

*2024-12-17*

It’s not opening, so I can’t see my notes I need.

### 3/5 — Disappearance

*2023-08-18, version 2.1*

Some of my notes disappear after I’ve hit 8 notes. May i know why is that so

### 1/5 — A long time user.

*2023-06-17*

I’ve been using this app for years. For years it’s been great. HOWEVER, within the past two years it has deleted information on it own. It has changed information from the way I had it set up. At first I thought it was me some how messing up. But then I noticed that over night three of information sections disappeared, without me touching the phone. If anyone is thinking of using this, STOP! Find another app. This one has been personally destructive.

### 3/5 — Use to love it.

*2023-05-05*

I have had this app for over 5 years. It was one of my favorite ones to use. But for the last few months I have been having issues with it. I always write down my grocery list with one of their notes and I have other notes saved. For some reason my grocery list will end up making a double copy and erasing one of my other notes. This is getting frustrating and it might be time for me to starting using an other note app.

### 1/5 — Not happy with this App.

*2023-04-16*

Sudden all four notes same what I wrote. Missing my original wrote the notes as all gone.

### 1/5 — J’aime pas

*2022-11-26*

Mes note s’efface toujours ou elle s’affiche en double J’écris une note sur une page et jais 2 fois la même note dans mon appli je peux écrire une note super important et même si j’enregistre elle s’efface après temps de temps ou s’efface 2 sec après 🤬

### 2/5 — Notebox

*2022-11-20*

Clear and attractive design. However I am baffled by the apparent complete disappearance of notes I have created but have not purposefully deleted.
