It was cute and the basic functionality was free. At some point, I stopped using it but today I needed to make a note and decided to open this app. I had five notebooks. One was empty and I wanted to rename it. The app wouldn’t allow me to rename it without subscribing. I deleted the notebook and now I can’t create another because every single cover design is “premium “, there are no free options. So, I’ll be exporting any info I have in the app and I’ll delete it, because I don’t want another subscription. ### 3/5 — Search option *2024-08-31* I have been storing my notes on this but somehow when I change phones I loose all my data from it and have to retype it all . ### 3/5 — Работает только от вай фай, реклама *2024-04-07* Несколько лет пользуюсь этим приложением и меня устраивало все, но чем дальше с тем хуже... - Сначала появился белый экран листа, вместо расчерченного как в блокнотах - затем перестали работать правки. Можно в середине текста исправить только одно слово, и то придётся побороться с программой, на следующее слово приложение перекидывает в конец всего текста - бесплатные обложки стали платными - и самая моя большая боль это приложение работает только от вай фай. Думала что это исправят, но нет, уже больше полугода так. Т.е. я писала в нём всю свою информацию, но когда мне нужно было на встрече заглянуть в неё, приложение просто не загрузилось. И так продолжается по сей день. Т.е. если вы путешественник, либо у вас разъездная работаета, то ищите другое, удаляйте это. От мобильной сети, оно, почему то, не работает. - реклама появилась. Закрываю один блокнот - реклама. Иногда захожу в приложение - реклама сразу. И судя по тому что все комментарии без ответа, никто хотя приложением не занимается. ### 4/5 — Organizational FUN! *2024-01-08, version 1.9.18* Love this app! I especially like the pass code lock feature for private information. Needs more covers though and wish you could choose to organize notes within pads by date or other. ### 3/5 — Can’t access app! *2024-01-08, version 1.9.18* App refuse to open after several tries and trouble shooting. (Uninstalling and reinstalling app several times, powered phone off multiple times) still no success. HELP PLEASE!!! ### 3/5 — App Will Not Open *2024-01-07, version 1.9.18* I have used this app for years and have liked the options very much. I can no longer open the app in my phone. It crashes each time. Please fix this!! ### 3/5 — Lost all my notes *2024-01-07, version 1.9.18* Note’d just face me and then went bye bye. Lost all my notes. What happened?? You need to find it again. ### 1/5 — My NOTE’d app stopped working. Help? *2024-01-07, version 1.9.18* Hello, my app stopped working today, 07/01/24. I can’t get into app support nor send a message to anyone to ask for help. Please advise as I need information stored in the app. ### 2/5 — Continual crashing upon open *2023-11-01, version 1.9.18* Since the IOS 17 update the app crashes while opening with or without the facial recognition. It’s a fatal loop. ### 2/5 — Not free any more? *2023-08-08, version 1.9.18* I tried to add a new notebook but there is no free cover/notebooks. I have to pay to add new ones now?! ### 3/5 — Забыл пароль *2023-05-06* Забыл пароль , больше не могу зайти , как можно восстановить ? ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2023-04-29, version 1.9.18* After the update it’s forcing you for the touch ID and log-in using apple account, and that’s a red flag already. Looks like this app trying to get an access with your apple account. Also i paid for this app long time ago so why i have to pay for premium no-ads again??? This app is trying to ripoff people and developer prolly trying to scam users ### 4/5 — Невозможно печатать *2023-04-16* Не знаю, что произошло, но в заметках, которые копирую и вставляю в новые заметки, невозможно делать правки! Ставишь курсор, начинаешь печатать, он перелетает на конец текста. Это просто ужасно, каждый раз его переставлять!!!! И убрали линии, просто белый экран. С линиями было лучше. ### 3/5 — Рыкламаа!!! *2023-04-06* Даа,неотключаемая реклама-это перебор. Откатился на версию 1.94-вот теперь порядок! Апрель 2023, перестало делать копию ### 1/5 — Ad Crazy *2023-04-04, version 1.9.18* Was a great app for notes. Now it has too many ads after you do anything with your notes. ### 1/5 — Great App *2023-04-03, version 1.9.18* Buy it if you love as I do. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2023-04-01* I really love this app but there are way too many ads in it and no option just to purchase it out right without ads I would love to see that option to buy it and see no ads otherwise I would’ve given it five stars. I use it all the time for measurements for my quilts and passwords and such so I really need an option to buy it. Not a subscription I won’t even look at those just to make a one time purchase. What is going on now? When I first started using this app, it was free and I could use all the different papers, now you have cut me off from them! A SUBCRIPTION???????!!!!! That is really dirty to pull on people who have given your app a good review. It’s deleted now. Not cool at all! ### 1/5 — Почините! *2023-03-21* После последнего обновления не даёт редактировать заметку в середине например, сразу кидает вниз, в конец текста ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not Working Properly - Needs Update ASAP! *2026-07-09, version 1.9.26* Needs an update ASAP! Appears there hasn't been an update since Jan 2024! As of last week, every time you try to make an entry, it skips all the way to the bottom of the note. After EVERY SINGLE ENTRY! SUPER ANNOYING! Also, it stopped bringing the last note to the the top of the notes. It looks like the app just stopped working. It used to work great but looks like the app is outdated. I pay for the annual subscription. If you're not going to update the app, I need a refund. There are way too many other apps out there, especially updated ones with better features and functions to not do regular updates, at least annual updates and have someone check to be sure it's working properly, especially if you're charging people. Please update ASAP or retire the app and provide refunds to paying customers. ### 1/5 — Приложение не открывается *2024-09-17* После последнего обновления приложение не открывается. Вылетает. ### 1/5 — The worst dev ever!! *2024-08-07, version 1.9.19* I have purchased this app a long time ago and I was using all of its available covers without ads. Now after the update, the dev changed the app to force the old customers to pay yearly or monthly subscriptions. It doesn’t make any sense. I’m deleting this app and I will submit a request for a refund cus it’s waste of money. ### 1/5 — Реклама не даёт пользоваться приложением. *2024-04-07* Покупала приложение без рекламы. Не понимаю такого отношения к потребителю. Это не игра, а записи, которые надо сделать срочно, а не ждать по две минуты рекламы. Сделайте , что нибудь с рекламой. У меня много информации в приложении. Мучения для меня. ### 1/5 — Lost my old premium access… *2024-03-05, version 1.9.18* I’ve loved NOTE’d since it was first released, at which time I purchased the app (it was not “free” lonnnnng ago). But when ads suddenly appeared again, a couple of years ago, the offer to buy a “Premium” account was offered. Apparently my original purchase of the app didn’t carry over into this new plan. And, I’m sorry, but that just stinks. Original purchasers of the app, when it was first released, should have their premium membership grandfathered in. I’ll not pay them more money, and will just use the updated/improved “Notes” app on my phone…for free. ### 1/5 — Cancel-🧟‍♂️♿️ *2024-01-20, version 1.9.18* Well. Since there’s been no update since the app crashed & LOST ALL MY NOTES, no more $ for you!!!!😡 Canceling my subscription. ### 1/5 — App crashed—lost everything *2024-01-08, version 1.9.18* App crashes the other day so i couldn’t get into it for 24 hours. Now i can get in today and EVERYTHING—all my notes and passwords are in cleared out. I have had this app for years and now have nothing. ### 1/5 — The app crashes when I try to open it? *2024-01-08, version 1.9.18* I just want my notes back :/ ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2024-01-08, version 1.9.18* Is there an update coming soon? It seems not to be compatible with the latest apple os and won’t open on my phone. I need to access my files please ### 1/5 — Has this app been hacked? Won’t open. *2024-01-07, version 1.9.18* I’ve never had a problem with this app glitching. Never. And now I can’t open it at all it just immediately glitches off. And I can’t find anywhere to contact anyone to talk to about it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accidentally deleted notes *2024-03-02, version 1.9.18* How do I recover it? ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-01-07, version 1.9.14* I've been using Note'd since 2013, and I hope they never take it off the app store! When I use the app, I usually turn my wifi off, so that solves the ad issue. (Though I do watch ads sometimes, to support the app.) I just wish there was a way to export all of my notes to ensure I have a backup in case the app is taken off the app store / ios update issue / etc. Otherwise, I love it! ### 5/5 — SUPER LOVE IT *2022-10-02, version 1.9.14* I’m wondering how to remove the ads. ### 5/5 — Advertising *2022-06-04, version 1.9.14* How to remove advertising? ### 5/5 — Как убрать рекламу *2022-01-18* Пользуюсь данной программой постоянно, как убрать рекламу? Программа не даёт вариантов ### 5/5 — LOVE IT! *2021-12-13, version 1.9.12* This app has been my go-to note taking app for a couple years! I love the fact that u can use a different notebook for whatever you like. By far the cutest note taking app there is!❤️much love ### 5/5 — Need Buy Version of this *2021-07-16* This App is so Awesome instead showing Advertisements guys please launch a buy version… waiting for it ### 5/5 — Noted is a wonderful app *2020-11-04* It is a very nice app, it has lock options, location and photo options etc; 👍👏👏 ### 5/5 — Ads *2020-02-05, version 1.9.5* I have used this app for years and loved it. Suddenly today, silly game ads started popping up before I can open the app. This is horribly annoying and I will be changing apps if it does Stop. ### 5/5 — Issue with the app *2019-11-03* I’ve been using this app for more than 5 years now and I absolutely love this app to level I used this app almost daily. Now with the latest update I did on my phone, it shows I’ve to update this app too but when I do it’s shows it can’t be done. So I tried reloading from the App Store, strangely it did not show in the list. Now by sharing and searching this app when I try to update it that circle that shows it’s been updating doesn’t move at all. Please help as I have lots hardwork data stored in it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
