It loses what I’ve written instead of saving it. When I paste in an image, I can only sometimes resize it. It asks me if it is ok to paste, every, single, time. It is constantly mistaking my wrist for a second finger and zooming way in on me. The new drawing controls are inelegant and take up too much space. There is no way to send the developer feedback other than to post a review:) I miss the old app! ### 2/5 — This was a 5 star app before the new UI update *2026-10-16, version 27.1.4* The new UI/UX update is horrendous!! This used to be a 5 star app for me. Very simple and classic. Now it's too buggy and futuristic. I can't erase handwriting from documents that I've copied anymore. The undo button, opens another undo (or redo) button every single time. I used to be able to just continuously press one undo button times. Now I have to press two undo buttons in two different places for every pen stroke I want to undo. Apple pencil is now suddenly laggy. It's so trippy to write a word and not have a letter show up on the screen until you've finished the next 1-2 letters. I hate when apps ruin a perfectly good thing. ### 2/5 — Lack of Support *2026-09-15, version 26.5.0* UPDATE July 2026 - not only no support, for ages now: Issues: BACKUPS If you want to backup your notes, you can not just backup as you can with most notes app. You need to abandon your note organization...because you would need to move notes to a special backup folder. REMOTE STORAGE No way to keep notes on a WebDAV - so your notes consume a stack of room on your phone . Original: Contacted company 3 times over the past three months the - zero reply. ### 2/5 — Lack of Support *2026-07-15, version 26.5.0* UPDATE July 2027 - not only no support, for ages now: Issues: BACKUPS If you want to backup your notes, you can not just backup as you can with most notes app. You need to abandon your note organization...because you would need to move notes to a special backup folder.

Please change it so I can use it in Korean. If it is not available, please change it to English instead. ### 2/5 — Bought in 2018 *2026-04-28, version 18.5.0* I bought this in 2018 and now there are a bunch of IAPs added. I redownloaded this to test it out for using to learn Greek…and it let me take ONE voice note file before it prompted me to buy a subscription of some sort. I can’t even tell if the app will do what I would want it to do, with so little ability to explore it. NO, I have no interest in signing up for yet another trial, for an app I already bought. The voice note DID scribe what I said in to English, but when I tried to select Greek it displayed the Greek words temporarily not the voice recording portion of the screen, but did NOT translate them, saying it was an AI feature. I might be interested in a one time, lifetime purchase but it is impossible to figure out what I can even access from my original purchase, with the app begging me to upgrade every single time I press a button. Restore did nothing… ### 4/5 — I like it, But *2026-03-29, version 18.5.0* But I wish it came with some documentation to know how to use all of the features. ### 3/5 — 無料版というより試用版 *2026-03-15* 無料版だといずれのテンプレートが使用不可のようです。インポートもできませんでした。ジェスチャーの設定項目が無いのでタップでのUndoができないかも。 ### 1/5 — Mieser Trick! *2026-03-02* Nur ein Stern, weil, wenn ihr die App runterlädt, dann kommt ein ›Sample‹ Notizbuch. Und da sind ganze 95 Objekte! Ich übertreibe wirklich nicht. Das ist wie diese russischen Puppen mehrfach verpackt. Es gibt zwar einen Hacker Trick, nämlich die bereits vorhandenen Dokumente bearbeiten, aber ihr könnt das nicht löschen. Ihr könnt das erst löschen, wenn ihr euch bereits die Pro-Version geholt habt. Jetzt bin ich darauf hereingefallen. Also sachlich: Bereits vorhandene Dateien kann man nicht löschen, da sie schreibgeschützt sind und man sich die Pro-Version holen muss, um die Dokumente zu löschen. Und die App ist mehrmals in verschiedenen Versionen wie ›TextEditor‹ oder so erschienen, obwohl es die gleiche App ist. Guckt gerne mal in die Liste der weiteren Apps von ›Kairoos Solutions SL‹. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-02-18, version 18.5.0* Free version worked, paid didn’t. Paid for it and then my pen won’t write on the full screen. I can figure out what template to use. The whole thing is worthless to me. Wasted $10. ### 3/5 — ค้าง *2026-02-18, version 18.5.0* ดีจริงยอมรับ แต่พอค้าง หายหมดเลยที่เขียนมา แก้ไขด้วย ( I have to admit, it was great, but when the computer froze, all the data I had written disappeared. Could you please fix this? ) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost note after I close tab *2026-11-05, version 27.1.8* I don’t know if you guys have updated anything recently but after I finished my note I saved it like usual but after I open it again all my note are gone, I might switch to another app if this keep happening ### 1/5 — New update *2026-11-01, version 27.1.8* This new update is horrible. Its hard to find everything, the writing is so delayed and it freezes, it doesn’t save what i wrote and its already happened numerous times that i leave the page and it deletes everything ive wrote. Pls do something i did not pay for this app for it to not be doing what it needs to do ### 1/5 — Used to be 5 stars *2026-10-26, version 27.1.7* This new update is so frustrating. I’ve had notes with 20 plus pages and this update shifts the pen size, i just cant make it small enough anymore even at the min size, the pen is also blurry, the old one was easier to look at. Like I can barely read the new noted I write. I just can’t use my documents anymore I wish I could switch back to what it was… I might genuinely swap notes apps because this is really over complicated compared to what it was originally. Even minimized the top of the screen with the options I feel takes up too much space. update: my notes keep deleting parts of my work i will exit and come back and there are intermittent parts that are blank. ### 1/5 — Hate new update *2026-10-26, version 27.1.7* I use this app for public talks. Why did you remove horizontal page turning? I hate the new turn page book animation. Just show me the next page instantly. If you want to make this app better take it back where it was 2 years ago ### 1/5 — Whyy *2026-10-23, version 27.1.5* The new actualization doesn’t have an option to make the brush smaller, it has sizes but they dont match to the size I had before the update, and now the text has to be gigantic in comparison to what i had, also if i try with another brush that reselmbles the size i want it looks pixelated and kicks me out of the app ### 1/5 — New update bad *2026-10-22, version 27.1.5* Used for work everyday and recently had an update which has made it really hard to use and slowed down my productivity ### 1/5 — Horrible new update *2026-10-21, version 27.1.5* I have used the notes writer app since my freshman year in college and it has been great but the recent update changed everything and now when I take notes in class it is so delayed and doesn’t allow me to take good notes. ### 1/5 — 悪刷新 *2026-10-08* UIを大幅に刷新！とのことですが、今まで右開き左開き両方に対応していたのが、スクロールしかできなくなりました。 これができることに価値があってお金を払ったのに残念です。 配置なども変わりすぎて本当に使い物にならなくなりましたし、今までお世話になりました。 ### 1/5 — Не загружай, не удалить *2026-08-27* Не дает удалить и не работает ### 1/5 — УЖАС! *2026-04-01* Я рисовала свой рисунок 2 недели меня выкинуло из приложения и ничего не сохранилось НИЧЕГО даже чёрточки,ужас не скачивайте это приложение! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ficou ótimo agora *2026-10-24* Fiz uma avaliação criticando depois da atualização, hj veio outra atualização corrigindo praticamente tudo! E ficou ótimo! Então vim mudar minha avaliação… ### 5/5 — New updates made app awesome but stability issue *2026-10-24* You new update has really brought many new features and its really helpful and futuristic. But recent update had made app very sluggish, hanging and even it gets crash sometimes. Although with every updates things are improving, still please focus on improving app stability 1st as its hampering our work. Thanks for your effort. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your feedback! Best regards, Notes Writer Team ### 5/5 — Add a Tape feature *2026-09-08, version 26.5.0* This app is not that bad, but it would be better if they add a tape feature, just like Goodnotes and other apps for studying purposes. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-24, version 26.5.0* Muy útil ### 5/5 — Fantastic !! *2026-07-25, version 26.5.0* Damn good ### 5/5 — “, Bronson Clark’s typing JURNALING *2026-06-27, version 26.5.0* Good okay ### 5/5 — It’s pretty nice *2026-05-04, version 18.5.0* I would use it in fact I do use it. I think you should try it. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Genial *2026-03-29, version 18.5.0* Está muy perron la verdad lo recomiendo ### 5/5 — 🥸 *2026-03-23, version 18.5.0* 💯💯💯💯💯💯 ### 5/5 — 텍스트 노트 생성앱으로는 최고인 듯 *2026-02-08* 굿노트의 사용자 폰트, 사용자 서식 고정 기능이 있으면서도, 텍스트상자 삽입형식이 아닌 노트형식으 어플이 간절했는데 드디어!!!! 그런데... 유로로 락 해제하자마자 pro2026이 있다는 걸 발견하고... 좀 까리해지네.. 왜 버젼을 여러개 만들어서 헷갈리게 하는 거지.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
