User reviews

Still Testing

For starters, Mac and Linux compatible… Fantastic! I am very picky about application developments, especially those requiring subscriptions, so I will have more to say as time goes on. Great start though.

Great Note App and a replacement for EverNote

I was an 11 year user of Evernote. Stayed with them from when it was free for personal uses all the way up to this year. I had renewed last year at $129 but was notified by Evernote they were raising the annual rate to $259 for the premium tier I was in. Started searching for a replacement and found Notesnook. I’ve been using it for almost 3 months now and I’m very impressed with it. All of my many years worth of Evernote data was imported into Notesnook. The layout is very familiar to me and I had no issues adapting. I highly recommend Notesnook! Oh, and my annual rate for the top tier as of this review is $89. Much cheaper than Evernote.

Solid

Tried several others. Easy to use, smooth flow, stable, reasonably priced. Solid.

Overall, great

Doesn’t what you’d expect. A nice multi platform option to share notes. Highly recommend.

Super grateful to have found this

Found this randomly after tryin out so many other apps and deleting them all. My main objective was sinple notetaking with todos and cross device sync. This beats every other alternative with its simplicity. Super light and super simple. Very customizable as well. Love it!
