### 4/5 — Nice App!

*2021-03-27, version 1.29*

This app is interesting and good for making quick notes and reviewing them. I like the feature where I can take pictures from textbook and add it to notes too.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Idea

*2021-03-08, version 1.29*

Loving this app already and love the fact there is a web version as well. Been looking for something like this for a while

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-12-02, version 1.24*

This app is wonderful and reasonably priced!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2020-11-06, version 1.24*

Awesome totally easy to use

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Have Been Searching For!!!

*2020-10-27, version 1.23*

I am in the field of the humanities. All of the other learning  apps that I have found are very Q & A oriented .  Totally unsuited for the type of learning that I have to achieve, which is more comprehensibility of longer text than anything..Notefuel is the first app that gives me the freedom to study longer passages, and does not restrict me to memorization of question and answer notecards. Thank you for this application. I have searched all over the App Store for something like this. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Great! I have no complaints.

*2020-08-17*

However i do wish the app allows Apple Books integration. Because I don’t use kindle.

### 5/5 — Best!

*2020-06-19, version 1.23*

The best app for learning using spaced repetitions method. No analogs currently on the app market!

### 5/5 — Smart way to Learn

*2020-05-28, version 1.22*

This is way better than taking notes manually with a paper and pencil. It uses algorithms to help you learn the content you create faster than manual flashcards.

### 5/5 — what i needed

*2020-04-27, version 1.20*

I am loving the app, I am a bit ocd when it comes to studying and taking notes and it takes me sooooo long to get things done, specially when I want to note card EVERYTHING I dont know, and then I find myself spending all my time doing them than moving on with my research and studying. this app is a time saver! I can take a picture of my book and just keep what I need to learn and thats it I move on to the next. I had literally been saying this should exist, thanks for making it happen! I also had a technical problem and costumer support was on point, fast, efficient and polite!

### 5/5 — Puts the other note taking and learning apps to shame

*2020-04-16, version 1.20*

I am going to plug this app because I want more people to use it. It’s beautifully designed and most importantly simple

### 5/5 — Truly remarkable app

*2020-04-14*

This is innovation at its best for students . It’s so easy to turn textbooks into notes using this app with multitude of options like OCR , images and text . 

And then retrieval and revision is so effective using the spaced repetition algorithms and flash cards .

One unique feature I loved is the use of Artificial intelligence to create auto flashcards !! However , I would love it if the developers could give a manual option as well to hide the words we want . 

Besides that , the management of the notes is really simple with folders and topics system . 

iCloud sync and sharing notes with others is made super easy and there is live responsive support inside the app to address any hiccups or help needed ! When I needed help initially , they replied back in a matter of 1-2 hours !! 

All that in one app , shows the extent the developers have gone to simplify the note making and revision needs of students .

Verdict : no matter what notes apps or systems one currently uses , this app will still enhance her study system via some of its features that she won’t find anywhere else !!

### 5/5 — Terrific App

*2020-04-13, version 1.20*

Easy to use...Saves to Google Docs...i can't ask for more...Thank you Notefuel!!!

### 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

### 1/5 — Loses my notes!

*2020-03-29, version 1.19*

I tried it 3 times.  Each time my notes mysteriously disappeared! Very annoying.
No way to format with fonts, font size, bold or outline format! I’m done.

### 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.

### 3/5 — T

*2021-04-22, version 1.30*

Only get 10 try’s

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2021-01-29, version 1.26*

.

### 3/5 — Please Support Multimedia Attachments

*2019-11-25, version 1.6*

Its a great app, especially the overall design.. but its functionality is still quite limited.

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — This app is the ishh! Besides one minor thing!

*2021-07-21, version 1.31*

The need to copy and paste images should be available in this app. Having to save images to your device and then upload to the app is 1 inconvenient and 2 uses up storage on the users device for no reason. Love the app! It’s truly one of a kind but this is a bottleneck for me. A raving fan.

### 4/5 — One-time fee

*2021-03-30, version 1.29*

The app is actually perfect. I just don’t like the fact it’s only subscription based. It will be nice if you had the option to pay a one-time fee.

### 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

### 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

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-11-09, version 1.34*

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

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2021-04-29, version 1.30*

This app is amazing! when I first got this app, I had low expectations but it proved me wrong. Ever since I got this app, its been really useful for me in school, there is honestly nothing that I want changed to this app. So its a five star for me :)

### 5/5 — Lost the notes

*2021-04-14, version 1.30*

I switched phones, the new phone does not have the notes that I had before, ther is no way to recover them, or at least I can’t find the needed support.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2021-04-14, version 1.30*

This is a wonderful app! Exactly what I was looking for! It is so easy to use and has an easy to use flash card feature in order to practice skills. Love this app!

### 5/5 — Notefuel is easy to learn and helps you remember.

*2021-03-17, version 1.29*

This is a really elegant app that helps you capture and remember what you’re trying to learn without an overly complicated interface. So many spaced repetition apps have such complicated structures that they aren’t worth the effort. Notefuel is one one shining exception. 💯
