I like a lot of the options but I have to pay for it. Is there options that you don’t have to pay for ### 4/5 — What I see *2026-10-04, version 7.8.4* This is a good note app for reminders but I wish there were more free stuff because if your a hard working family it’s hard to buy a whole bunch of extra stuff. ### 4/5 — Ehh *2026-10-04, version 7.8.4* Not so bad just you have to pay ### 4/5 — Rly good *2026-10-03, version 7.8.4* I think that this is a great game and when I first saw the add I thought it was fake but now I'm enjoying it. I also used it ystd to create an exam schedule and it is really helpful and fun to use. But I also don't know what happens after the free trial is over bc I just started so... I still recommend 😊 ### 2/5 — I will not get it again *2026-10-02, version 7.8.4* I got and tried it was fun at first but then it did not work I will never get this app again 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 ### 2/5 — Please read before getting *2026-09-30, version 7.8.4* Pretty good but you have to pay you can not do anything for free ### 2/5 — Wont Load on Mac *2026-09-29, version 7.7* Loading symbol just keeps spinning and never gets past loading screen ### 2/5 — Noteshelf three AI digit notes *2026-09-28* Guys, you guys are not really that good is it because I don’t like the name and there’s too much stuff like you have to be doing like you’re like always writing them like their stickers. I think you guys should just check some reviews on this and. I think I would read you guys a two stars. It’s because I don’t really like it. I may delete the app it’s because I don’t really like it. And I also kinda like it because you and I also kind of calm so thanks but why is it AI I don’t like that it’s AI why is it AI please? Could you guys change the titles because I don’t like it OK thank you bye **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about Noteshelf 3. We understand your concerns about the AI features, app experience, and naming. We’ve considered your feedback and shared it with our team for consideration in future updates. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us! ### 2/5 — Why is everythingggg premium? *2026-09-28, version 7.8.4* Dear Noteshelf 3 Team, This app looks so fun and aesthetic 🤩 but I think it needs to be WAY more accessible (AKA cheaper). Every template was premium, I couldn’t even find ONE for free. I need templates because I’m not super artistic, but I don’t want to pay just for cute digital planners. No thanks. I could use Canva for this for free! So I would just really appreciate if you could add free templates and then I would reinstall this app again. Although everything is supppppeeeerrrr cute and I love it! This is such a cute app. ### 1/5 — So bad *2026-09-26* You have to pay for like everything and it like we go to it only let me do three things if I don’t pay like why is that so stupid fix it **Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry to hear that the free features didn't meet your expectations. Noteshelf offers a selection of free features, while additional features are available with Premium. We understand your concerns and appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Não recomendo *2026-10-10* No anuncio diz que tem como fazer um calendário, usar coisinhas fofinhas , etc. Mas não dá pra fazer nada sem pagar um rim. Obs: Eu só fiz uma nota e no aplicativo fala que dá pra fazer 3. ODIEI 😡🤢🤮👿 ### 1/5 — Ruim *2026-10-09* Este app é muito ruim eu vi a propaganda e baixei para fazer um calendário mais quando entrei no aplicativo tudo era VIP e eu não consegui fazer nada. Não baixe este app ### 1/5 — Have to spend 💰💰💰(Please read this) *2026-10-07, version 7.8.4* I didn’t like this because the ads and other reviews over exaggerated everything. You literally cannot do anything without paying💰. Which is sad ☹️ because I am not allowed to buy stuff, and I’m pretty sure a lot of other kids are the same. Do not buy unless you are allowed/don’t mind having to pay for everything. ### 1/5 — Read *2026-10-06, version 7.8.4* Badddddddddddddddddd ### 1/5 — Nothing *2026-10-03, version 7.8.4* We get nothing with out paying ### 1/5 — I got excited😢 *2026-10-02, version 7.8.4* I can’t do anything without paying. I got annoyed, cause it looks so cool and good to help me with my schedule, but I can’t even make a monthly schedule without paying and I can’t seem to find any free ### 1/5 — Noteshelf *2026-10-01, version 7.8.4* I love Noteshelf ### 1/5 — Fail *2026-09-30, version 4.10* EVERY time I try to open up the app it’s Amy’s retry and I tried to reload the app it just does not work ### 1/5 — Worked great for years now horrible *2026-09-28, version 7.8.4* Just switched from noteshelf. All of a sudden i couldn’t open files, files locked up, files wouldn’t download. Screen just sat there, my Ipad got hot. Now the menu bar sits on the top part of my notes. No customer support at all. So I switched. After being on noteshelf since 1. ### 1/5 — Noteshelf 2 was non AI and now removed from the AppStore *2026-09-26, version 7.8.4* Noteshelf 2 was non AI and now removed from the AppStore. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favourite note-taking app! *2026-10-10, version 7.8.4* I LOVE Noteshelf and could not be happier for all it does for me. I have been using it for years, alongside other well known apps, but Noteshelf has always been my favourite —and always find myself coming back to it.. I think it is because it feels so much like the ‘real thing’... I appreciate its simplicity and effectiveness whether I am creating digital notebooks, organising my daily tasks, keeping a diary or simply jotting things down.. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a digital version of the ‘old paper and pen’ with the advantage of having it ‘always’ at hand. ### 5/5 — Idioma Español *2026-10-09, version 7.8.4* La app es hermosa, pero sería mejor que las plantillas de la papeleria también sean en español. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-10-06, version 7.8.4* This is the best BEST thing ever I love it so SO MUCH it’s really good for studying ,the best I love it! ### 5/5 — Best writing app - hands down *2026-10-06* Its not often I leave reviews on here, but when a product is just so good, I cant help but feel compelled to do a review. Noteshelf is by far the best hand writing app I have come across. The design feels modern, its clean and I think its by far the best handwriting experience I’ve had on my iPad. And you know whats crazy? Its only going to get better as they update this app. Thanks Noteshelf team, keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — This will improve your work *2026-10-05, version 7.8.4* Make a free!!!!!!!!!!! Trial for lifetime people would get the app. ### 5/5 — crash 문제 안고쳐짐 *2026-10-05, version 7.8.4* 노트쉘프2부터 잘 사용하고 있습니다. 그런데 최근에 윈도우 두개 띄우면 거의 항상 한 3초이내로, 하나 띄울때도 종종 앱이 크래시가 나서 사용이 불가할 정도입니다ㅜㅜ 최신버전 업뎃해도 그러네요 +) Oct 4th 추가, 이후 새로운 버전 업데이트 하였으나 문제가 여전히 반복됩니다… 특정 노트 문제도 아님을 확인했구요. 해결 부탁드립니다ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — My opinion *2026-10-03, version 7.8.4* I love it ❤ ### 5/5 — It's okay *2026-10-01, version 7.8.4* I just got the app and I have to littary get a free trial for everyone I gave it 5 stars so it will show up and I hate free trial apps all they do is begg you to do this do that and it is always these apps that look cute in the apps and it doesn't even tell you that you have to pay or there is a free trial ### 5/5 — 다른 유명 필기 앱들보다 좋아요 *2026-09-30, version 7.7* 의대생입니다. 필기앱은 목숨과도 같은데, 한국어로 타이핑 & 펜 둘다 잘 되는 앱이 너무 절실했어요. 그런데 다른 앱들은 한국어 버그가 생겨서 환장.. 챗지피티 물어보니 이 앱을 추천해 주더라구요. 근데 정말 최고에요. 굿노트와 노터빌리티 두개의 장점만 모아둔거같은 사용감. 다른 앱들 여러개 쓰느니 그냥 이거 하나 쓰세요. ### 5/5 — My New Obsession *2026-09-27, version 7.8.4* I already love this and I don’t feel like I know the app well yet. I’m probably just scratching the surface, really. Fun and creative times ahead. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
