### 1/5 — Bad experience

*2025-01-05, version 1.39*

I’ve been using the app for 3 days and this app has been horrible for me I tried to use the scan note thing to make flashcards it didn’t work I personally just thought I wasn’t doing it right so I contacted the operator and asked them how to make flashcards and they responded with “noelfuel support will reply as soon as they can “ I was like okay but  the next day came and I still didn’t get the question answered and this is the third day with no response the poor customer service has made me want to delete the app Notefuel needs to fix their current customer support

### 5/5 — Perfect for studying

*2023-08-20, version 1.38*

I love this app, especially for vocabulary terms in school. The flashcards are soo helpful, even though I have to copy and paste I really don’t mind it whatsoever. If you’re looking for a studying app this one is great

### 5/5 — I like the app

*2023-02-28, version 1.38*

Gong to purchase premium I think

### 5/5 — Great but..

*2023-01-13, version 1.38*

But when going to settings it freezes and I have to close and reopen app. Also can you center align the answers just like you do the questions. And can you remove the word "question" From the actual playback

### 2/5 — Charges on my debit card

*2022-08-07, version 1.38*

It was a good app but they charged me $49.00 on my debit card only after using it for a month. I unsubscribed and note fuel says thats what you pay for a year but they charged me that amount anyway. If you are going to use this app then plan on paying $6.99 per month and if you get out of the subscription before the month is up $49.00.

### 5/5 — I recommend this app

*2022-04-24, version 1.37*

Very nice app, and I love to write little scripts so it’s fun. Also the support is very nice

### 5/5 — Noice

*2022-04-12, version 1.37*

Such a great app

### 4/5 — I like it so far

*2022-02-04, version 1.36*

On a search digging for an app to level with my ocd, that has a good design plus good function. Needed flash cards plus notes that I could save. this one has both for me, but there’s one thing I reallly want to be added, the ability to underline as many parts of the note as needed rather than one phrase. that way I can fill each sentence in an challenge my memory more. also, there’s no one time fee. biggest drawback easily :( subscriptions feel permanent. if you must charge, please give a reasonable option to do it once, I’d pay for it that way most likely

**Developer response:** Thank you for this kind review. We really appreciate you giving Notefuel a try, and your feedback around underlining / a lifetime subscription option - we're going to give it a lot of consideration.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-11-09, version 1.34*

I love this app! The flashcard feature is amazing and so helpful for studying.

### 4/5 — Good App!

*2021-11-06, version 1.34*

This app is great, and had exactly what I wanted to get out of it. The only thing I dislike is the limits imposed on people without premium, but I understand that they’re team needs the money to keep the app running.
