It is frustrating and I have lost important information. Please address. Thanks. ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Missed “undo” *2022-07-27* Missed “undo” ### 4/5 — 1 problem *2021-01-23* I want folders to keep my notes organized. ### 2/5 — Note Box *2020-12-27* I love this app to keep important info I had this app for a long time but as of tonight I can’t seem to find all of my data I hope it’s not deleted by apple’s updates ### 2/5 — Review on application *2020-02-22, version 2.0.2* How to delete unopened sticker ### 4/5 — Presque parfait *2019-05-16* J’aurais mis un 5 étoiles si on pouvait ajouter au moins une photo ( pas un nombre illimité car je comprend parfaitement) juste une et ça aurait été parfait ### 4/5 — Excellent thank you ! *2018-11-24* Easy to use, customizable, useful! I switched for iPhoneX and everything is back , working perfectly! ****previous comment**** [title] very good but... Very useful app , so easy to use, thank you ! Unfortunately, since v2.0.2 / iOS 11.2.6 the user ´s been unable to save Très bonne appli, si simple à utiliser , merci ! sauf que la v2.0.2 ne permet plus de sauver sous iOS 11.2.6 ### 3/5 — Stop auto changing background colors! *2018-09-11* Been using this app for years. Love the app, except for 1 frustrating detail, each time my phone orientation changes, the background color also changes. I’m always jotting down notes on the go, so my phone is rarely stationary (as when you are sitting back and reading). I categorize my notes by color, and keep getting frustrated each time the color automatically changes on me and I have to change it back (several times in one note session)! Please fix this bug!!! ### 3/5 — Great app. *2018-05-31* This is a handy and helpful app. I love the ability to choose a color for each note. I give a 3 star rating because I still have 5 notes that I keep deleting, and the next time I open the app, my deleted notes are back. It’s getting real frustrating. You never have fixed this problem, and it continues to haunt me. Update: I am still unable to delete those notes. It’s very frustrating. I delete them, close the app. And when I go back in, those deleted notes are back. ### 4/5 — Good! *2018-04-18* Two things missing: The option to leave notes where they are instead of sorting by last edit. Either having scroll bars or automatic stretching when the items in a block exceeds the default size of the block. My go-to app for my grocery list. Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 🤬 ### 1/5 — Deletes and duplicates my notes *2022-09-28, version 2.1* Is there a fix for this…? ### 1/5 — deletion and duplication glitch *2022-06-30* I have lost SO many important notes because this app spontaneously deletes my notes. it also copies and spams one note multiple times to where there’s 10 boxes of the same exact writing, overwriting any other note next to it. i have to manually delete all of them. i have lost so many dear writings to me i actually cried. this app is very corrupted, nothing gets saved because there’s a duplication/overwriting glitch. i will be uninstalling and using Apples notes app from now on. ### 1/5 — STOPPED SAVING! *2019-08-21* WAS working fine...now it won't save my changes! If I add a new note or delete an old one! It looks like it saves while the app is open, but if you go out of the app & later return, ALL THE CHANGES ARE GONE! To the developer; Are you going to fix this??! ### 1/5 — This isAWFUL *2019-05-26, version 2.0.2* It will not save your work so you have to start allllllll over and IT IS NOT HELPFUL ### 1/5 — Deletes notes! *2018-09-19* Entered a note I needed for later on today. When I went back for the info, the kite was gone. Happened before and I thought it was operator error; now I know it’s the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GEEAT NOTES APP *2022-01-03* makes jotting down quick notes and thoughts super easy, and the colors make things super easy to organize. use it all the time! ### 5/5 — LOVE THE COLORS!! *2022-01-01* This app is the best note taking app! It is so much more organized and also very aesthetic. It’s like an electronic version of Post-it notes! ### 5/5 — Simple app, works great! *2022-01-01* A really simple app to jot down simple notes! Use it all the time! ### 5/5 — Notes Box (Minimalistic Notes) *2021-03-09* This app is nice and simple, doesn't take long to download and, like the title states, minimalistic. I am not trying to advertise this app but just saying, it's amazing. This app is amazing because 1. Its minimalistic 2. It does what it's meant to do 3. It's simple 4. It uses barely any storage at all for everyone with not much storage 😉 For all of these reasons, this is one of the best note apps you could download ### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant! *2020-09-28* This the app’ I’ve been looking for. No categories and sub categories to leaf through. Just panes to tap. All there in front of your face. I can see some big things coming for this one. ### 5/5 — Deleted Notes Fix *2018-11-08* Recently - as others have noted - this app stopped saving new notes. When I deleted and then downloaded the app again, the app worked properly and saved my new notes. Plus, all the notes that had previously been successfully saved were automatically restored. This is a great app. Thanks! ### 5/5 — How do you change colors *2018-02-20* Last version was so much easier. How do you change colors? I liked where you could see the colors and pick one. Was good now not great. Edit: thanks for the update. Easily can change colors now. **Developer response:** Hey Ashbogard! Thank you for your feedback. Currently, in order to change the colors, just swipe from the edge of the right side of the screen. I'm currently working on a feature that also displays the colors and lets you pick one, so stay tuned for the next update! :) Again, thanks for the feedback, as this has made me prioritize this feature a bit more. Hope you keep using the app! ### 5/5 — 🔥MOST USEFUL APP🔥 *2018-01-09* NoteBox is THE MOST straightforward and polished application I have ever installed. I have been trying to find an app like NoteBox for years. NOTHING will ever compete with its gorgeous display. I am confident that I will continue using NoteBox for the rest of my life. PLEASE DOWNLOAD NOTEBOX NOW!!! ### 5/5 — Best notes app available *2017-11-09* Such an easy to use app, especially since the update. Use it all the time to keep track of to do lists. 10/10 recommend! **Developer response:** So happy to hear you're loving the update! Stay tuned for our future updates :) ### 5/5 — Great and nifty little App 👍🏼 *2017-01-16, version 1.4* Works great. Sync to perfection with the apple watch. And its free too. Highly Recommended.
