Good app aside from that. ### 4/5 — Small problem when using with PopClip *2025-03-04, version 1.3.7* Love the app, long time user. Small issue that’s been bugging me: when using PopClip inside Quick Draft the dropdown pad, unless it’s pinned, disappears before the action can be completed. If that could be fixed it’d be really great. ### 4/5 — Nice idea *2025-01-17, version 1.3.7* Question to the developer: it would be nice to have an option for hiding it from the dock. I use the shortcut for activating the app, and I don’t really need the app in both, the menu bar and the dock. ### 4/5 — Actually probably the greatest thing since notepad.exe *2024-02-07, version 1.3.7* When im in a meeting and i need to rapidly start jotting down something that someones is saying, this app with a configured hot key hits all the boxes. If I could suggest one massively cool feature though... let me choose the file location where the quickdraft "lives". Being able to have it pump directly into obsidian or something by simply having it in my obsidian vault would let me come back to it later and then organize/iterate on the thoughts I wrote down with this app. Assuming this is markdown, this should play right into obsidian. ### 4/5 — Wie komme in die Einstellungen? 😅 *2023-11-11, version 1.4.0* Nach der App-Installation kommt ein Menü mit der Möglichkeit die Schriftgröße und das App-Symbol anzupassen. Aber ein weiters mal kann ich es nicht öffnen?! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2023-04-27, version 1.3.5* Love the functionality and minimalistic simplicity of the app. The only thing I'm missing would be widgets to see at least part of the note, and to allow quick opening from it. I wouldn't mind a few more options of icons in the Mac version for the menubar as well. Well worth the money. ### 4/5 — Cursor Positionierung *2023-02-22, version 1.3.5* Hallo, die Cursor Positionierung muss verbessert werden. Im Bereich von Aufzählung hat man keine Kontrolle beim setzten des Cursors (iPhone 14Pro Max) ### 4/5 — Great idea, but crashes frequently *2022-12-18, version 1.3.6* Great idea, but crashes frequently ### 4/5 — Great, but only 1 draft *2022-01-13* It works well and syncs fine. It puts a small icon on the Manu Bar on your Mac where you can just click and write whatever you need. On the iPhone, the app opens to the draft. My only complaint is that it should allow you to have more than one draft. Maybe 5 an no more. If you need more it's a note that should go into the Notes app, but for small, quick stuff we do need a few more. ### 4/5 — Nice Simple App *2021-11-10, version 1.3.6* I like the simplicity of the app. Although I like it, I do not see the reason to use this over IA Writer if you own that app. The look and feel of this app is very close to IA Writer. The main difference between the two is Qd has an icon in the menu bar and IA Writer does not. I am not knockng down this app but rather just noting some observations. If you don't own IA Writer then I recommend this app. Support the developer because they did a good job. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-10-08, version 1.3.6* Just leave it as it is, it's perfect! ### 4/5 — Great app, but crashing on iOS 15 *2021-10-01, version 1.3.3* Been using the app for quite a while on iPhone and Mac and has been flawless. However, since iOS 15 update the app crashes periodically, specifically it seems when synching iCloud changes. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it needs to *2021-07-06, version 1.3.3* Drops you straight into a page with the keyboard ready to jot down quick notes to come back to later. It works, and it works well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Daten verloren *2026-02-11, version 1.4.9* An sich war bis vor kurzem die App eine meiner wichtigsten Apps für schnelle Notizen. Doch seit Monaten werden die Daten entweder nicht synchronisiert oder wie gerade vor einem Tag, die neueren gelöscht bzw. mit den alten Daten überschrieben. Wichtige Informationen sind nun unwiederbringlich verloren, da keine Backup Funktion implementiert ist. Das ist sehr ärgerlich, und die app wird nun ersetzt. ### 1/5 — Annoying pop ups *2025-04-05, version 1.4.9* There is a new pop up on each load that bothers me about buying a premium version ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2025-03-23, version 1.4.9* I have used quick draft for a long time and really like its simplicity and functionality. It does, what Apple has promoted some years ago: it just works. Sadly it got very annoying with the most recent update, prompting for the IAP with EVERY start of the app. To be honest, I originally was thinking about buying these features, even though I don’t need them. I would have bought them anyway to support the future development. Being pushed like this makes me question my intentions, if I want do support someone that pushy. Maybe this is just a bug and will be fixed with an upcoming update. Unfortunately there is no way to contact the developer - neither via an option in the app, nor through the homepage… ### 1/5 — Récupérer mes notes *2024-04-05, version 1.4.1* A l’installation de la nouvelle version,perte dramatique de mes anciennes notes Que faire ? ### 2/5 — Currently syncing via iCloud not working *2025-01-17, version 1.4.4* This app is a good place to throw random things you might need access to. Honestly, I have mostly used it on my Mac where it was very convenient to have it on my menu bar for things I needed to access somewhat frequently and it’s great for that. The reason I’m giving it a low review now is that one of its features is supposed to be syncing via iCloud and that is not working, I’ve made updates on my iPad, my Mac, and my iPhone and none of them have synced to the other devices. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled on my iPhone and iPad and that hasn’t helped. I have verified in Settings in the iCloud section that Quick Draft is turned on both on my iPad and iPhone. There’s no button in the application to use to force a sync, no settings where you can turn syncing on/off, so there’s nothing else I can do here. The developer’s website isn’t loading (that is, it appears to be down) and I tried the Report a Problem option through the App Store and it said that wasn’t an option, so there is no way I can figure out to seek help on this issue. ### 2/5 — Synchronisation = (0) App geschossen Notizen weg *2020-06-30, version 1.3.3* Ich benutze App sehr wenig aber letztens, im Ernstfall, festgestellt, dass meine Kurznotiz, die ich Tag davor erstellt habe, ist verschwunden. Nochmals probiert, das gleiche Effekt, erstellt man Text, ist da, sobald man App schließt ist alles weg. Auf dem iPad, dagegen, funktioniert einwandfrei, wenn man App schließt sind Notizen immer noch da nur keine Synchronisation mit dem iPhone. Am Anfang aber lief alles reibungslos. ### 3/5 — Nervige Werbung zum In-App Kauf *2025-03-30, version 1.4.9* Ich nutze die App schon seit Jahren und das sehr gern. Seit dem letzten Update wird leider bei jedem! Start auf einen In-App Kauf hingewiesen welcher für mich keinen Mehrwert bietet. Das nervt und stört extrem. Wenn das so bleibt werde ich mich wohl nach einer Alternative umsehen, sehr schade. ### 3/5 — Simple and clean design. *2024-01-22* I like the convenience of having a notepad easily accessible from my Mac’s menu bar. I just wish there was an additional page and Bullet Point options. Please add these features. ### 3/5 — Simple and clean design. *2021-02-10, version 1.3.3* I like the convenience of having a notepad easily accessible from my Mac’s menu bar. I just wish there was an additional page and Bullet Point options. Please add these features. ### 3/5 — iCloud Snyc funktioniert nicht *2020-05-01, version 1.1.11* Anfangs hat es super funktioniert, aber jetzt leider nicht mehr. Weiß auch nicht, wie ich das wieder anstoßen könnte oder was das Problem ist. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best for quick capture and working out ideas before they flee *2025-12-12, version 1.4.9* I am a doctoral student and always keep a Quick Draft open on my desktop and handy on my phone. It’s the easiest way to capture a quick thought or idea before inspiration fades. It’s so much lighter weight and simpler than Word or Google Docs or even Apple Notes. ### 5/5 — Ohne Schnickschnack. Einfach praktisch! *2025-11-05, version 1.4.9* Einen Wunsch habe ich dennoch: Mich würde eine interpretierte Ansicht im Widget freuen. Gern mit Settings für Schriftart, -größe und -farbe. ### 5/5 — Quick Draft Works Great! *2025-08-02, version 1.4.9* I tried this app for 5 minutes and was so impressed that I purchased the Pro version. Quick Draft launches quickly, is simple to use, and syncs perfectly with iCloud. My thanks to the developer for an app that works well and is simple to use. Job well done! ### 5/5 — Perfect For Me *2024-12-02, version 1.4.4* This is one of those apps I think should exist before realizing, hey, it actually exists! Perfect for my use case of needing an infinite text file that’s super easy to find and use and syncs between Mac and iPhone. Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Simpel und genial *2024-08-04, version 1.4.3* Täglich im Einsatz, einfach klasse! ### 5/5 — Great but one request! *2024-01-21, version 1.4.1* I desperately wish this had an Apple Watch app. The swipe keyboard has gotten good enough that Quick Draft would be *perfect* for jotting down quick notes, ideas, and information so they’re available to move to the appropriate place when I’m back on my Mac or iDevice. So far I haven’t found an alternative, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would appreciate it. ### 5/5 — Perfekte App. Schmierzettel halt. *2023-10-27, version 1.4.0* Ich nutze die App schon seit einigen Jahren. Perfekt. Simpel. Macht genau das, was sie soll über alle Geräte. ### 5/5 — Auf gutem Weg *2023-10-24, version 1.4.0* Der Programmautor hat sich offenbar eines Besseren besonnen und kümmert sich seit einiger Zeit wieder um seine App. Die ist jetzt wieder voll funktionstüchtig und eine Empfehlung wert. Ideal, um Ideen schnell festzuhalten. Dabei wird alles – Mac eingeschlossen – synchron gehalten. Wenn es jetzt noch eine App für die Watch gäbe, wäre das Glück perfekt und der fünfte Stern hochverdient. ### 5/5 — Perfekt *2023-09-28, version 1.3.7* Genau das habe ich gesucht. ### 5/5 — Great but…. *2023-05-11, version 1.3.5* Wish it had a widget option. Another app like this does and it just seems to improve the experience and simplicity of the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
