### 2/5 — メモの上限数は？

*2026-06-18*

無料版はメモに上限数があるらしいですが、その数は？
せっかく使おうと思ったが、こういう大事なことを書かない開発者のアプリを使用すると後々困りそうなのでやめました。

### 4/5 — とても

*2026-06-15*

シンプルで気に入っています。アカウント登録でスマホとPad両方で使えたら良いのに。

### 4/5 — ひとつ言うなら

*2026-06-07*

何年か趣味用に使わせて貰ってます。使いやすいのですが、不要なフォルダやメモの削除、フォルダ名変更機能があったらいいな…と10年近く思ってます

### 2/5 — 改善求む

*2026-02-13*

iOS26にアップデートしてから頻繁にクラッシュするようになってしまいました。
もしまだ管理されているようであれば、アップデートをお願いしたいです。

### 3/5 — コピペ問題

*2025-12-04*

コピペした時、下の行が空白じゃない限り勝手に改行されるのが若干ストレスです

### 4/5 — 公私を問わず様々場面で重宝してます。

*2025-03-21*

世はデシダル化
ペーパーレス化とはいえど

就業している仕事上、
主体は紙の手帳になります。
その使い分けのためにも
こちらのアプリは
シンプルでとても使いやすいためとても重宝しています。

### 4/5 — シンプルで使いやすい！

*2024-12-01*

パスワードでの管理することと見出しの見やすくシンプルで使いやすいデス！
長期継続使用中！

### 4/5 — シンプルで使い易い。検索機能があると嬉しい。

*2024-09-28*

シンプルで使いやすいです。
メモの内容を検索して探せる機能があると嬉しいです。

### 3/5 — 需要找回删除的功能

*2022-11-18*

写了好多字了然后下一篇要看字数的因为篇数限制把之前没用了的删掉，结果删错成刚写完的 没保存也找不回

### 4/5 — Nice, but

*2022-03-29*

It's a nice app for learning to read a second language. I just wish it supported the larger screen iPads.

### 5/5 — It's good for a simple notepad

*2021-07-02*

It's good for people like me who may have been a long time Andy user and have recently switched to iPhone and are just overwhelmed with all the differences and can't be bothered with having to watch a YT video a hundred times a day just to learn how to use iPhone. :-)

I use this when I want to write a long note for some messenger so the other person doesn't have to sit there and wait for you to stop typing. Just write it in this and slap it over there.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2021-02-04*

This is really a good apps and the only thing I’m having issues is to change the font from small to big font because it is to small to read. I hope there is a way to change it in the settings which is not working.

### 4/5 — Simple

*2021-01-19*

So satisfied.

### 4/5 — very nice lmao

*2020-11-05*

it’s rly nice ngl 👍

### 5/5 — 5 star

*2020-08-19*

This is the one of the most useful and simple note taking apps and the quick notes even have the date

### 4/5 — Eh

*2020-05-13*

It works as it’s intended purpose but it keeps bossing me around and asking me to do stuff when all I want to do is take a note before my inspiration is GONE. Guess I’ll just write with my BLOOD.

### 5/5 — フリーズ現象、直していただけますと幸いです

*2020-01-16*

毎日使わせて頂いています。
余計な機能やデザインがなく、使いやすくて本当に重宝しています。

しばらく前から、メモを開いた状態で右上のエクスポートマークをタップすると固まってしまう現象が起きています。

いくつもメモアプリを試しては使いづらさに消し、また別のアプリをインストールしては消し…を繰り返してようやく出会えた理想のアプリなので、できればこのまま使っていきたいです。
前回アップデートが3年前とのことで対応して貰えるか少し不安ですが、バグ修正の希望をお伝えさせて頂きました。

### 4/5 — Backup plan is needed

*2019-08-25*

I truly like this app, it helps me keep my thoughts in notes.
But my only concern is that I cannot do backups to restore whenever I replace my iphone.
it would be a lot more enjoyable!

thanks!

### 1/5 — 元に戻せない

*2026-01-01*

うっかり消しても元に戻すことができないし勝手に保存されてしまう。おかげでとんでもない被害を受けました。オススメできません。

### 1/5 — 개빡쳐

*2021-02-21*

원래 리뷰 안쓰는데 이건 화나서 써야겠음
고작 딸랑 4개 썼는데 메모 더 할라면 유료구매하던가 광고 영상 보라네...? 개어이없지만 영상도 보고나서 제대로 플레이 안됐다고 계속 튕김 퉷 드러워서 안쓴다

### 1/5 — 세개 이상 쓰려면 광고에 게임까지해야하네요

*2019-05-31*

이딴 어플은 처음입니다 다신 안써요..
별 한개도 아까움 ㅠ

### 1/5 — Will lock you out and you will lose all you data!

*2019-05-17*

This app, Memo Notes, worked for the first few times with privacy protection turned on.  After that it would not take my password and the onscreen keyboard obscured the squares used to input the password.   I’m totally locked out and my data is inaccessible.

### 1/5 — Green bar at bottom...

*2019-03-04*

I just paid $2.99 for the Premium version and I'm unsatisfied because the green bar at the bottom (where the ad used to be) is a waste of space. I hope you will remove it in a future release so there's more room to type.

Also, double-tapping on words doesn't select it. Can you please fix that?

Fix those and I'll change my rating.

### 1/5 — Basic app

*2019-02-13, version 2.3*

This app won’t allow me to change font size. It’s less useful then the Note pad App. It does not offer any current upgrades that most apps offer. Just BASIC no more.

### 1/5 — MemoNote

*2018-12-11*

I can not possible review this app without some help it took four tries to just get my keyboard to come up and so I wrote a trial message  but after that there was no where to go with it no general lay out and each time I tried to explore the few buttons it made me start over again by reoping the app.  There are so many of these app to pic from I cant possible pay $1.99 each time to find out It may well be worth the cost but with out any functions directions  my impression is its not at all a nice app to use nor easy and handy. So I cant recommend it. And by the way two of the four tabs or buttons all said safari is unable to open them  To bad so the search continues for a good note pad thats has the basic tools

### 1/5 — Memo note

*2018-06-08*

Can’t delete old notes and get contact with developers as it all Asian and no English

### 1/5 — Mad

*2018-05-17, version 2.3*

1 star review due to the fact, I was constantly ask to review this crappy app. Do there it is. If I could have given a -500 I would have.

### 1/5 — Только для iphone и ipad?

*2017-11-28*

Нет версии для mac. Сделайте, тогда куплю.

### 5/5 — 良い

*2026-08-08*

シンプルで使いやすいし、余計な機能が無くて助かります

### 5/5 — 使ってみての感想

*2026-06-13*

こんな便利で需要のあるアプリがあって、とても助かります。

### 5/5 — 愛用してます

*2026-06-02*

長年使わせていただいております。
なくなると困るアプリです。一生続いてほしい。これからもお世話になります！

### 5/5 — シンプルだし、すぐにメモれる。9年間愛用してます

*2026-05-24*

シンプルだし、すぐにメモれる。9年間、使ってます。思いついたらすぐにメモる。すぐに開くし、すぐにメモることができ、本当に助かってます。

仕事柄、アイデアや企画を考えて，思いついた，その瞬間にメモることが多いので、その即時メモのしやすさが過去一で良いアプリだと思ってます。

### 5/5 — 機種変の度に入れています。

*2025-08-29*

今は3台目です。
フォルダ分けの機能が気にいっています。既存のメモを既存フォルダや新規フォルダに移動できる点は素晴らしいです。ただ入れるフォルダを間違えた時に移動が出来ないと気づいた時は残念でしたので、移動できるようになれば嬉しいです。
作成した日付けと最新の更新をした日付けがあるのは嬉しいですね。ただ時折そのメモを開いただけの日付けに両方上書きされるので、自分でメモするようになりました。

### 5/5 — 使いやすい!

*2025-05-11*

シンプルで使いやすい

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-08-18, version 2.3*

Perfect balance of simplicity and features. I worries it’d be a ongoing subscription deal to nix the free version but found the one time fee of a couple of bucks well worth it for ad removal and unlimited use.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-01-23*

So very easy to use.  Can add and remove items easily.  That is a great advantage.  I like this app.

### 5/5 — 최고의 서브 앱

*2021-11-24*

-구동시 비밀번호 요구
-클라우드 연동 안됨

위 기능 덕분에 보안카드나 각종 사이트 비밀번호 등을 저장하는 텍스트 전용 메모 앱으로 사용하기에 좋습니다.

### 5/5 — 이거 너무 잘쓰는 중인데 폰 잃어 버리면 어찌되나요? 백업 가능 하나요?

*2021-10-23*

아이폰 유저입니다
