No update since 7 years. شكل المطور مات!! 😢 ### 4/5 — Easy app to use for what I need. *2026-03-31, version 2.14.0* I really like the app, since I can’t get Wordpad anymore, I’m glad I found this app. Just wish I had control of the font size and to be able to underline. ### 2/5 — dm me *2025-11-20, version 2.14.0* man dm me cuz it glitches like it wont scroll down to bottom or defaults up to not lemme see the notes ### 4/5 — Mostly Great *2025-11-18, version 2.14.0* I prefer it over the stock notes app but no Apple Watch app and no cloud is most definitely a drawback. ### 2/5 — Data transfer is scrambled *2025-06-20, version 2.14.0* Using airdrop or just pasting from apple’s notepad s rambles some text. Unreliable. ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2025-06-18, version 2.14.0* Seriously was a great app, and its good as is I would say. Hopefully this gets updated and actually removes third party trackers, since the listing says Data Not Collected but it makes connections to social media analytics. ### 4/5 — Decent but buggy *2025-05-30, version 2.14.0* I am enjoying this app, and have had trouble find one with a folder layout that I like until now. Problem I keep having is that about 30% of the time I add, delete, or edit anything.. the app crashes. Little note about how the devs have been notified, but the last update was years ago. Will it ever get fixed? Doubtful. Unfortunate. ### 4/5 — Sync *2025-01-26, version 2.14.0* Best note taking app ever! But please fix the linking & syncing feature! ### 2/5 — Needs update *2024-12-03, version 2.14.0* This was a great app, and I have 3 years worth of important notes on it: However, I just updated my iPhone to the latest IOS (18.1.1), and soon as I open the app, it closes. This app needs to be updated to fit the current ios. ### 2/5 — Just Awful!! *2024-04-09, version 2.14.0* I paid for the Premium edition….and the message “Trial Expired” keeps popping up!! My notes I made….GONE!! Page for Customer Support…NOT FOUND!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Scrolling sticky sometimes *2024-03-30, version 2.14.0* App would be perfect but sometimes can’t scroll down. ### 4/5 — “Upword” - A Highly Functional Note-Taking App with Room for Improvement *2024-02-18, version 2.14.0* I have been using “Upword” for my daily note-taking needs and have found it to be one of my most frequently used apps due to its superior functionality and user-friendly design. It has been incredibly helpful in organizing my thoughts and capturing ideas quickly. The interface is intuitive, allowing me to access the features I need without any stress in my everyday use. However, I’ve recently encountered an issue where notes within the app are being automatically sorted, disrupting the order of notes that are important to me and significantly reducing my work efficiency. Reorganizing these notes has been a hassle, highlighting a clear area for improvement. From my experience, “Upword” remains a highly valuable tool that I would recommend to many. However, I am confident that it could become even better if the issue with note sorting were addressed. I hope the development team takes this feedback into consideration and continues to meet the needs of its users. Overall, this app is an excellent choice for note-taking and idea management, contributing to daily productivity enhancements. I eagerly await further improvements in future updates. ### 4/5 — Saving images *2024-02-14, version 2.14.0* This app would be perfect if it was able to save pictures. So many of my notes include screenshots etc. this inability may be the dealbreaker ### 4/5 — UpWord font size *2023-12-19, version 2.14.0* I’ve been using this app for years now and it’s always been a favourite. But suddenly for an unknown reason the fonts, even on the largest setting is still small. I use UpWord for my grocery list but now have a hard time reading the list. ### 5/5 — incredibly useful… *2023-11-14, version 2.14.0* Rating this app is a no-brainer – it's incredibly useful! From sorting out my grocery list to managing daily tasks, it's become my go-to. The seamless way it integrates into my routine has made life a lot more organized and efficient. If I could rate it higher than five stars, I definitely would! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — UpWord has been abandoned for years. *2026-06-23, version 2.14.0* Upword has some serious problems, including trade-offs, and it hasn't been updated or improved on my iPhone (iOS) from the App Store since 2018. One of the worst problems with Upword is the scrolling issue: I can't scroll down while typing, and it kicks me out when I try to sign up for Upword with Dropbox. I wish Upnote had a trash can, version history for notes, and a before-and-after comparison, so I can recover them since I already deleted them due to Grammarly’s Generative AI-suggested edits. Because of UpWord, I had to move my notes from UpWord to Apple Notes. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-05-20, version 2.14.0* Lost all notes after changing phone. Last update was 6 years ago… this app need to be removed! ### 1/5 — Broken app *2024-12-28, version 2.14.0* Does not work anymore, my notes keep disappearing, get “use at own risk, deprecated files” or something to that effect. No support. No help. Seems it actually doesn’t exist anymore. ### 1/5 — UpWord *2024-04-21, version 2.14.0* I used this app for several years and it worked perfectly. by then, I had notes of all kinds that I had saved-list of books I’ve read wanted to read, significant numbers and passwords and many of the categories. Then, all of a sudden. everything disappeared and I cannot retrieve it. I have emailed the developers asking for help and get no response To all New users-do not risk using this app; you will be sorry ### 1/5 — Do not purchase!!! *2024-01-24, version 2.14.0* Developer abandoned this app YEARS ago. It’s now buggy beyond belief. I’m a LONG time user and paid for the pro version. Don’t waste your time or money. Look elsewhere. You’ve been warned. ### 1/5 — 悼み *2023-06-23, version 2.14.0* このアプリのバックアップ機能の不具合でネタ帳が消えてからもう5年以上経ちますが、未だに恨んでいます。 一生忘れません。 ### 1/5 — Decepción *2023-04-25, version 2.14.0* Está fallando muchísimo No deja actualizar notas No deja crear notas No puedes acceder a su línea de soporte técnico ### 1/5 — Annoying *2023-03-20, version 2.14.0* Why do I have to link my account every time I try to use it??? ### 1/5 — No syncing *2023-01-08, version 2.14.0* This app won’t sync between my iPhone and iPad and doesn’t offer any instructions on how to do so ### 1/5 — BEWARE APP IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED *2023-01-02, version 2.14.0* Dear app devs, The app FAQ link is dead, it seems this app has not been updated for many many years which is a shame because it is such a great app which I use daily. Pls keep this app alive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is my no. 1 favorite!! *2026-03-07, version 2.14.0* This app is great. It helps me a lot to focus on my lessons. I love this app. It’s my 1st favorite app!! Thank you for making me study more by this app. May I request some changes? If yes, here are my recommendations for UpWord. 1. Please make all fonts free! So that users can freely customize their fonts for style. 2. Please make password free. So users can use privacy. Thank you so much @Curios Creators ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-23, version 2.14.0* I use this daily and love it! ### 5/5 — Update? *2025-06-18, version 2.14.0* Will this app ever be updated? It’s my favorite list/notes app but could use updating. ### 5/5 — Wigget eklensin lütfen *2025-05-31, version 2.14.0* Harika bir uygulama işimi çok kolayalaştırıyor yıllardır severek kullanıyorum. Emeğinize sağlık bir de wigget eklenirse çok hoş olur ### 5/5 — I love it sm *2025-03-07, version 2.14.0* I’ve been using Upword for YEARSSSSS!!!! I love it so much. I will always stay loyal to it. ### 5/5 — Favorite App *2025-03-06, version 2.14.0* This is my best and favorite app. Could not live without it. ### 5/5 — Love this app but have an issue *2025-01-27, version 2.14.0* Have been using this app for at least 3 yrs now and love it. Use it for daily work & personal to do’s, notes, ongoing grocery list and the list goes on! I went premium right away, money well spent! I’ve recommended this app to a lot of friends. Very easy to use. I would be lost without it. I tried other apps and nothing came close. ONLY ISSUE: I use to be able to print my notes from my iPhone but there is a bug & you can no longer do that, app closes as soon as you request print. I have emailed for help but no response from them. Wish that could be fixed! ### 5/5 — Very Nice More Taking App *2024-07-23, version 2.14.0* Nice app for taking quick notes. It has a good amount of features and font choices. Easy to use and has a good selection of background colors and types of notes and lists you can make. ### 5/5 — Meilleur app de note et d’organisation de données *2024-01-20, version 2.14.0* UpWord est vachement plus pratique que Note ou CheatSheet, tout est déplaçable, priorisable, organisable en glisser déposer. Les trucs faits sont barrés d’un doigt, et nettoyés d’un geste. Un must. La présentation sur Appstore est moche, mais avec des réglages sobres c’est bien plus beau. ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2023-12-18, version 2.14.0* I’ve used UpWord for years for all types of lists (shopping lists, etc.). It is easy to use and easy on the eyes. Thank you for creating this excellent app!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
