### 4/5 — iCloud issue

*2026-08-09*

Probably the best notes app available.  iCloud sync doesnt seem to work fully though.  I have notebooks that are local and others that I set to sync with iCloud and basically nothing happens, they remain local.  iCloud is on for the app in settings, not sure if it takes time because its just text files.  I have pressed the sync button multiple times.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and for the detailed report!

Good news: sync is likely working, it just isn’t visible where you’re expecting it. When a notebook is set to sync with iCloud, its files are stored in the NotesHub folder at the root of your iCloud Drive. You can confirm this in the Files app: iCloud Drive > NotesHub. If your notes are there, the notebook is syncing correctly.

One important detail: notebooks don’t appear automatically on your other devices. On each device, you need to add the same notebook manually (Add Notebook > iCloud Drive, then select the existing folder). Once added, notes will sync between them.
If things still don’t line up after checking those two things, please email us at support@noteshub.app and we’ll help you sort it out directly.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-05-31*

MacOS application worked fine for git integration, but web and iOS apps both fail with “An error occurred”.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the inconvenience.
We’d like to get this resolved for you. Could you contact us at support@noteshub.app with your diagnostics info: Settings -> Diagnostics and repo size, and iOS version.

### 1/5 — Last update broke the app

*2026-03-28*

Since the last update, I can no longer open the app in Apple Mac Air M1. It only shows a black screen.
I nornally love the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share the issue.

Please try the following steps:
1) Force quit NotesHub and restart your Mac.
2) Reinstall NotesHub from AppStore.
3) Update macOS to the latest version available.
4) If the issue persists, please contact support support@noteshub.app and include your macOS version and any details you notice around the time the screen turns black. Screen recording would be really helpful.

I appreciate your patience and your continued support.

### 5/5 — Great program

*2026-03-27*

I couldn’t be happier with this program, and with the great support from the developer.

### 5/5 — Great program

*2026-03-10*

Great feature set for my needs, and I really appreciate that it’s cross platform and supports github syncing.

### 3/5 — sorting

sort by date created please

### 5/5 — Best most stable note taking app

*2026-02-04*

This app solved so many cross-platform issues for me. Absolutely fantastic app. Worth the small one-time purchase fee.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2026-01-05, version 3.10.0*

Finally an app that works with Git for my notes! Thank you NotesHub, team!

### 5/5 — Perfect Notes App

*2025-12-13*

Had to write a review because I’ve tried so many different notes apps and this is by far the best. It’s simultaneously simple and flexible for all sorts of different types of projects and note-taking styles. The GitHub backup is also a great way to have synced copies of your notes that you can download and view in any text reader. Excited to see how this app evolves.

### 5/5 — More open and compatible OneNote alternative

*2025-09-10*

I was concerned about not being able to get my data out of OneNote or use it with other OSes like Linux so I’m very happy with NotesHub. The feature set is not the same, but I don’t use handwriting or floating text boxes (and OneNote doesn’t support Markdown).

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.13.0 — 2026-08-13

Faster and more reliable notebooks in local folders:

• Feature: File System notebook provider for macOS, iOS and visionOS — connect any folder and keep your notebooks in it. On macOS this includes folders synced by Google Drive for desktop, Dropbox or OneDrive

• Fix: Editing a note that was changed outside the app (iCloud Drive and File System notebooks on Apple devices) is now detected as a conflict instead of silently overwriting the other change
• Fix: .m4a, .flac and .opus audio and .m4v video attachments now play in notes instead of rendering as a broken image (all notebook providers)
• Misc: Much faster iCloud Drive notebooks on Apple devices — listing folders, opening notes, searching and playing attachments are all noticeably quicker
• Misc: Deleting items in iCloud Drive and File System notebooks on Apple devices now moves them to the Trash where the location supports it
