### 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.  

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.

### 3/5 — Language

*2026-05-12*

I want to use this app, but the language is set to Japanese. 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。

### 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? )

### 3/5 — Barra de herramientas

*2026-02-16, version 18.5.0*

Todo genial,pero al tocar en la barra de herramientas se baja automáticamente a la primera página del documento y es muy molesto buscar de nuevo la página por la que iba en un primer momento.

### 5/5 — الرياض

*2025-10-15, version 18.4.0*

شكرا لكم

### 5/5 — แอพดี

ของฟรีน่าจะมีเยอะกว่านี้ค่ะ 🥹

### 3/5 — Apple Pencil

### 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!

### 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.

### 1/5 — No compres

*2025-11-18, version 18.4.0*

La compré el año pasado y ahora me vuelven a pedir dinero para actualizar. Si a mí me va bien con la que tenía porque tengo que actualizar? No compréis…

### 1/5 — Para iadesi talep ediyorum

*2025-10-16, version 18.4.0*

Derste not aldığım sırada birden kapandı ve aldığım tüm notlar silindi bundan dolayı para iadesi talep ediyorum acilen.

### 1/5 — Absolutely broken now

*2025-10-15, version 18.4.0*

I used to love this app. Now it says I have to buy pro because I’ve reached the limit of the storage, even though I’ve deleted everything??

### 1/5 — No free anything

*2025-10-14, version 18.4.0*

I have never made a note with this app but trying to ,ale a sing,e note leads to a “you’ve made the max number of free notes,” message recommending to delete some. So I delete their spam notes that they put in anyone’s app by default and still get the message. I. Not paying for anything that I can’t test first. I’m not sure what kind of business plan the developer has but it’s not a very smart one, that much is certain.

### 1/5 — AI nur als Aufpreis und Abo

*2025-09-25, version 18.4.0*

Ja, kreativ im Geld generieren sind sie. Vollversion gekauft um dann gleich Werbung für andere Produkte eingeblendet zu bekommen 👎🏼
AI nur für einen zusätzlichen ABO Preis 👎🏼
Ich bedaure meinen Kauf, zumal die Handschrifterkennung auch 👎🏼 ist.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2025-09-16, version 18.4.0*

Don't buy the application from the iPhone and transfer it to the iPad with the same Apple Store account because it will turn into free, and this in itself is a fraud by the company. They cheated me and made me pay and did not give me the paid powers. They are correct.

### 1/5 — No lo descarges

*2025-07-09, version 18.3.8*

Muy malo noooooooooooo lo recomiendo

### 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..
