Mon iphone et mon IPad deviennent bouillant quand je l’utilise et la batterie se décharge très très vite. A corriger d’urgence. Ergonomie perfectible. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2026-06-26, version 6.4.1* I had high hopes for this app, which were dashed when I actually tried using it. The main selling point of using a watch to record and get insights from meetings seemed great… but this ended up being more of an add-on, experiment than a feature. The main app is hard to use, busy, and annoying. It’s hard to imagine anyone actually using this in the business world. ### 3/5 — Pictures don’t fit into the transcript! *2026-06-09, version 6.4* Despite it can take pictures during the recording, the picture just stays on the top of the notes and doesn’t move into the transcript based on its time stamp. This is not the same as shown in the intro picture of the app ### 4/5 — Really slaps *2026-06-04, version 6.3.1* AI sys is a slow i enjoy sound and simplicity of use ### 3/5 — If only *2026-05-12, version 6.2.6* This has all the elements I'd love to have! If only this could sync with my MacBook. (sigh) Back to Notes I go. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-05, version 6.2.5* Wonderful !! ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-03-19, version 6.2.1* Good notes ### 2/5 — A Waste *2026-03-16, version 6.2.1* I bought this with high hope of dictating ideas, reminders, etc. I make a recording, I stop it. Try to save it, can’t figure out how to do that. My ideas are so precious, and to never be digitized bc of an “oversimple?” app. I’ll look harder to figure it out bc I suppose I can’t get a refund at this point. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-03-12, version 6.2.1* Extremely frustrating experience. I can't even try the app because the purchase screen pops up immediately and there's no way to close or bypass it. It feels like this app is just a cash grab designed to take money from users before they can even experience a single feature ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-03-06, version 6.2* Game changer. Saves so much time and effort ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — over bearing *2026-09-22, version 7.0.3* cannot shut down application on iphone Home Page ### 1/5 — Manipulative onboarding. Hard pass! *2026-09-21, version 7.0.3* It feels really manipulative when apps only let you try them with a trial that automatically turns into a subscription - in the case with this app an annual subscription. That’s an instant nope and hard pass from me. It makes me feel like they don’t care about customers - only about extracting profit. It’s a shame because it could be a useful app. ### 1/5 — Fonctionnement très aléatoire *2026-09-18* L’application est très très capricieuse. Vous lancez un enregistrement, l’écran affiche l’opération en cours et lorsque vous voulez stopper, la consigne n’est pas prise en compte et en fait rien n’a été enregistré. D’autres fois, l’enregistrement se coupe parce que vous avez un appel entrant. Il faut donc veiller à relancer l’enregistrement. Très cher pour ne servir à rien et faire perdre des infos importantes parce que faisant confiance vous ne prenez pas de notes et au final, vous n’avez rien. ### 1/5 — girl *2026-08-15, version 6.5* why not make it a paid app instead of having me download the app for free and then forcing me to buy a subscription? ### 1/5 — Not sync consistently *2026-06-20, version 6.4.1* Not allways sync you watch with the phone note, therefore, you loose this conversation transcripts ### 1/5 — Their trial is a scam! *2026-06-01, version 6.3.1* I tried this app with a trial, but it really does little more than record and transcribe using a basic notepad—features your iPhone already offers for free. I cancelled the trial immediately after my first use and even responded to their exit survey. To my surprise, they still charged me a full year's subscription despite the cancellation. ‼️‼️‼️‼️Don't waste your time on this product—choose a genuinely useful app managed by honest people. 📍 ### 1/5 — Updated - Starting with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-05-17* Noted started out as a fantastic, fairly easy-to-utilize app and as an early adopter I didn’t have to pay the full ‘premium’ price they it’s at now, but even then, I had to pay to continue to use its ‘upgraded’ features. -⭐️ I appreciated the ability to dictate and type notes at the same time, although this feature has been available in other apps for sometime and the interface was difficult to navigate and at times the entire app just gave up and crashed. -⭐️ I recently came back to try Noted out again and was pleased at first with the overall experience until I went back and listened to the recordings taken and quite literally couldn’t hear my own voice even though my phone was next to my face while recording. I thought maybe this was a device error so I used other devices and the results were worse. -⭐️ At this point I stoped reviewing as I am quickly running out of stars and hoping the devs correct this. What killed it was the fact that you can’t hear the recordings taken. Result: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ———————— = ⭐️ ⭐️ **Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for your most recent reviews, and we apologise for the delay in our response. Could you please update to the latest app version, which includes some bug and crash fixes? Also, it would be helpful to drop us an email at support@notedapp.io with any further questions? The team will respond to you as quickly and keep a log of all your queries and feedback. Thanks so much 😊 ### 1/5 — Il faut un abonnement !! *2026-05-12* Dommage ça dit gratuit sur l’AppStore mais une fois sur l’appli on a pas le choix que de choisir un abonnement, déçu ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-04-28* Decided to remove my previous positive review. I didn’t use the app as there is was way to duplicate note or use template - raised with devs 2 or 3 years ago but gave up after a year of waiting. Today I wanted to acces some old notes only to realise I would have to pay full subscription to get access to them. Locked out of notes? Pathetic move really. Why is it even possible to download an app if you cannot use it without paying first? What is the point? Not coming back, I don’t like how they treat their customers. **Developer response:** Hi Maryou5h, we’ve recently rolled out an update (v6.4.1) that gives everyone access to all their notes without a subscription! If the new update works well, we’d love for you to let us know by updating this a positive review Otherwise, do contact us via support@notedapp.io and we’ll be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Deceptive likely, intentional, misleading business practices > unintentional $89.99 purchase. *2026-04-11, version 6.2.3* Downloaded this app today, opened it up, tapped through a couple of initial welcome screens, then got a splash page with a couple of options—one for a $6.99 subscription with No trial offered for the $6.99 monthly there is a $89.99 option but that’s considered a purchase not a subscription charge clever ain’t that something?, The affirmed $89.99 yearly plan shows in front of it something like “seven day trial/free with the “+.” This is intentionally deceptive. There’s no need to get a trial. Everybody already has one. The goal I believe is to confuse people into spending $89.99. They didn’t intend to. Shame wants a refund. I’ve submitted a request for a refund through Apple, if necessary, I will dispute the credit card transaction, I have reached out to the company support as well. By the way, the instructions they give you to cancel your trial let you nowhere. It doesn’t show up in subscriptions in iOS settings and when you look at your Apple ID account it shows a purchase BBB report if not refunded ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Meeting minutes *2026-09-18, version 7.0.2* I use Noted to assist in taking minutes for a committee that I am on. It makes a time consuming task easier and less time consuming. ### 5/5 — Better than Average *2026-09-14, version 7.0* I use this app several times a day! I am always writing things so that I do not forget. Or I write things and keep expanding it. There are days I use it for journaling, things I want to research, or just funny thoughts. The ways to use this app are infinite! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-09-13, version 6.6.1* New learning ### 5/5 — I pressed so far with the ai updates *2026-09-06, version 6.6.1* Like transcribe with the UI updates and then summarised and ask ai…. Bravo! ### 5/5 — Just awesome *2026-08-16, version 6.5.1* Record your pastor and boom relive it he power he spoke ### 5/5 — A life saver *2026-08-04, version 6.4.4* This app has paid for itself more times than I realized. It’s not just for work or school. It’s an every moment of every day kind of useful app. ### 5/5 — Unreal *2026-06-11* No brainer ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-31, version 6.3.1* Versatile and useful! ### 5/5 — Life made easy *2026-05-19, version 6.3* Record the meeting. Then transcribe it. Then summarize it. It’s like having a personal secretary at the press if a button ### 5/5 — Thank You! *2026-05-09* I couldn’t be more thankful for the Noted app. It’s a great tool and fun to use it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
