### 3/5 — Leider, leider, leider ….

*2026-08-03, version 3.11*

Aufgrund der vielen positiven Rezensionen hier habe ich mir die App geholt, war erst begeistert, aber spätestens beim Versuch die Vorlage zu ändern, komplett enttäuscht. Keine Vorlage ließ sich laden, , ewiges Warten ohne Erfolg. Außerdem mutet es mich merkwürdig an, dass die Entwickler vollen Zugriff auf die Kontakte haben möchten - habe in App wieder gelöscht.

### 5/5 — Aplikasi

*2026-07-07, version 3.11*

Kenapa tidak dapat mendownload tampilan kertas yang baru pada aplikasi ini, padahal sudah membayar

### 3/5 — No longer supported

*2026-05-08, version 3.11*

Don’t get

### 1/5 — Please update

*2026-05-04, version 3.11*

It’s 2026 and it hasn’t been updated in years. I cannot print anymore. Paper templates are no longer available. Please update! This WAS the best app. Now it is close to useless.

### 1/5 — Richiesta aggiornamento INDISPENSABILE!

*2026-04-29, version 3.11*

L’app non è più aggiornata da troppo tempo e non supporta IPadOS 26.4.2. Io sono musicista e le partiture scritte a mano non possono essere più lette/aperte perché il pentagramma non è più presente (restano note volanti su foglio bianco). Visto che è un’app a pagamento, desidero avere info a riguardo.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it

*2026-03-07, version 3.11*

This app does not work correctly, not worth the price. The templates do not download. Reached out to tech support, never got a response. Save your $20 don’t buy this app.

### 5/5 — MY FAVOURITE APP ❤️❤️❤️

*2026-03-05, version 3.11*

Notepad+ Pro, PLEASE READ THIS!! Okay, anyone who owns this app, (well most because SOME people lie about what they are saying ) KNOWS how good this is. Now, the not upgraded version has adverts, and is only allowed 2 or 3 ( I don’t know I downloaded YEARS ago ) slideshows/notes. I bought the upgrade for £8, and it was probably one of the best ideas I have EVER had! You get unlimited ( I think ) notes, and it is just such a good app! It would be better ( no offence ) if you could have more colours but it doesn’t really matter! It is so easy to work, and I have recommended it to most people! Thanks for reading + I  REALLY hope you download! - Leif 🌱🫧🍀🍃

### 1/5 — Templates fail to load

*2026-03-01, version 3.11*

The templates won’t load and therefore no point in paying for app

### 1/5 — Please update

*2026-01-31, version 3.11*

When update iOS. I can’t use touch screen. I have a lot of file and i can,t transfer

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-09, version 3.11*

Paid (wasted) $30 on the upgrade for templates for my daughter. Despite spending hours trying to download the 8 galleries, got nothing!
Complete waste of money - I doubt I will get my money back.
Do not get sucked in to the upgraded version
