Years of heavy use. Love it.

Indispensable app. Helps me easily collect information and organize random thoughts, across devices (iphone, ipad, Mac). I have used it for years and am delighted with its performance.

best note taking app

used for 15 years now and it’s the simplest and quickest way for me to organize and take plain text notes

So AMAZING!!!

1.15.22 Still an app I use every single day! It’s not organized and neat anymore, but that’s what the search function is for! I imagine I have at least 500 separate “files.” I put everything in this Notefile. Recipes, grocery lists, daily tasks, just to remember things I might forget, clips from Internet articles I want to quickly find! There are not many apps I can say I use daily, especially for years and years… but this is one of them! Never any bugs, just simple perfection. Still loving it! Past review- many years old…. Really love this little app. So very simple yet so powerful! I use it to just write down little tid bits I need to remember. I also use it to make lists for the grocery store. I have several different "folders" that each have there own important info in them. I must say, for such a "simple" app- I use it almost daily! I have tons of other note taking apps but this is one of my favorites for simple things. It's also neat that you can add an icon by the title... Makes it a little more fun. Good job! Thank you for such a useful app!

Brilliant but needs update

This works fantastically well across iOS and my OS X menu bar. But time marches on... I want my notes to feature in iOS and OS X universal search. When I search, I find the note, but get no indication of where in the note to look. There's no split screen action on iPad. What a shame - it would be perfect.

Also, I don’t know if it is iCloud or Notefile but if I don’t restart my Mac every few days, the syncing stops working.

Pretty much perfect

Fantastic for quick notes, accessible from a Mac’s menu bar, or from the iPhone app.

All synced via iCloud.

I use mine for quickly needed notes which would take too long to find in Apple Notes, as well as frequently needed info, like phone numbers, account numbers, etc.

I like the fact it’s not loaded with features or complexity, it does what it does perfectly.

If I could change one thing it would be the colour of the ‘paper’. That’s all.

Recommend.

KISS Keep it Simple..

Sometimes the smaller apps are great.
Do not need exhaustive search functions,
Or hash labelling or picture input
Or share to social media..

Although one feature I think they have removed is cut and paste..

Just keep it small, and solid with the ability to do the job it was made for year after year after..

Well done.

Can’t use the app

When I opened the app it blank out for a while and then jumped out of the app. Even after I removed the app from memory and restart the iPhone and back I still can’t open the app properly. I feel like the app has too much data and needs to be unload a little. But I wish I can safely remove the data not just brutally uninstall it. Is there a way for it? Also before I had the problem that when I wanted to search on a keyword., the app also crashed . After I removed a lot of the data then I can search again. Looks like I can’t save too much data in it . I wish there is an warning sign for it .

Having Trouble

UPDATED:

I finally figured out what the problem was on my own and how to get the note I’m working on to close. So y’all get 4 stars from me!

UPDATE:

I finally and accidentally got it to close for me. I still don’t know what in the heck I did to get it to close!!! I’m not adding stars until/unless I hear from a human connected and this app. BTW - I rebooted my iPhone and after that is when I finally did what I needed/wanted it to do!
——————————————————————-
I like the app but I’m having trouble with it. I typed a note in the app and I can’t get it to let me close out of the note. I close the app and when I open it back the note is still there and open.

I think that Apple and the App Store should require all developers and sellers in their store to give customers at least a 10 day free trial of their apps instead of allowing them to make customers purchase the app in order to download and try it out to see if it’s what they want and if it will work for their needs. But no, we have to buy it before we can try it out and then if it’s not what we expected, won’t meet our needs, etc., we have to jump through hoops to get a refund!

So far you’re getting one star from me. I had to pay $4.99 + tax (I think on the tax) for this app that I can’t get to close a note like it’s supposed to. I need to hear from somebody helping me with this problem. Then I may update and add stars to this review.

PERFECT

I use the Notefile desktop widget in dashboard on my Mac and it syncs all my notes perfectly with the iPad app. Love the classy, uncluttered design. Great app ..very satisfied.

Great little app!!

This is a great app for inputting text and then sending to another app via the Share menu. In this sense it’s similar to Drafts but simpler to use. Two big pluses 1) support for TextExpander and 2) syncing across devices through iCloud or their own proprietary server (which is very reliable and works well). I would give it five stars but encountered some minor bugs in screen refresh, but nothing serious. Don’t overlook this app!

my favourite app for taking notes

This app has been my favourite note-taking app for a number of years. I especially appreciate the widget on my mac dashboard. Simple, bare bones design provides only what I need and nothing extra. Never once had any issues syncing between devices. Absolutely no complaints.

Not right

I had already paid for the Notefile app. I should not have to pay $3.00 to download it again. I do not want the other app!! I should have a choice.

Stable and reliable

This app doesn’t generate a lot of buzz which is a shame because it is simply the best quick notes app out there. I have used Notefile since it was a Dashboard Widget on OSX and it has consistently been the most stable app I have ever used. When you are entrusting your important info to an app stability is the most important feature, and it’s the one it excels at.

My fav app

The most comfy notes app replacement in the App Store.

Does not work!

Paid for and downloaded the app for my iPhone but it does not launch.

Developer does not even reply to support requests!

One to avoid!

Notefile

This is a fabulous app. I love it & use it all the time. It keeps so many things hand at my fingertips no matter where I am across all my devices. I would give it five stars if it had a way to keep all of the notes alphabetized all of the time.

best notes app

best and most amazing notes app ever

forever thankful to junecloud for keeping my life easily organised and synced!!

simplicity encompassed

superb mac menubar and even mac dashboard integration

Beautifully Simple - needs work on iPad Pro

I've used this app for years on my iPhone, iPad and Mac and love it. If you plan to use this on your iPad Pro with the apple ipad keyboard you will be frustrated.
