Superior Notes app

Never really write reviews but this app is worth it. More customizable and private than iPhones notes app. I only use the free version and I don’t feel pushed to pay for it by ads or restricted functions: a much appreciated rarity! If you’re considering- just download it.

Reminders

The reminder search capability needs refinement. It’s not precise and so not very useful. This is jot the case when searching notes, which works fine. Only criticism of this app. Otherwise it’s the best hands down.

Does everything i need

Not secure and password protected, and the free version does have a lot of features that are usable

Love Notesnook

I have been paying for and using NN for two years now and absolutely love it. App syncs between my iPad, Android phone, and Windows laptop beautifully, keeps all my notes—from important ones to madcap 3AM ideas—secure, is user friendly, has a roadmap that is consistently updated, and the developer is very responsive to feedback/bug reports. Very highly recommend.

Great Open Source Evernote Alternative

I needed to find a replacement for Evernote, and Notesnook is even better than what I hoped for.

I’ve been using Evernote for 7 years (since 2019) as a paid professional service, and I have seen severe performance degradation over the last 2-3 years. I got a notice that they increased my yearly subscription price from $140 to $240 - on the same day I couldn’t get a note to open on my phone because of an aforementioned new performance issue. I didn’t mind the price increase alone, but Evernote’s service is now full of AI slop and unacceptable software development practices.

For a replacement, I considered Joplin, Notesnook, and Obsidian.
Notesnook is user friendly, boasts the same core features as Evernote without the slop, adds additional nice-to-have features like nesting notebooks, and the syncing is flawless between my devices.

I am now paying $70 a year for more features than I would have with Evernote at $240.

Good Note App

I’ve searched for an app such as this and am happy using it. I’ve used Notesnook for approx a year or more. It has a features I did find in the previous notes app I used.
Thank you for Notesnook.

Privacy friendly

Font are too tiny, need to have a toggle to increase text size

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!

Great App!

Love this app for the privacy and cross platform ability!

Secure and and well-designed.

Beats every secure note app I ever tried. Easy to use for one’s private thoughts and ideas, out of reach of a steadily more intrusive Government. Europe takes privacy seriously - unlike the “Land of the Free”.

Security behind a pay wall

Such a shame. Devs have put security features behind a pay wall. And a very expensive tier as well (app lock). Just too expensive for basic notes.

Brilliant program

A must if you want a good solid notes app that is privacy focussed.

Great app

Great app
But it doesn’t support RTL (Right-to-Left) text direction for arabic language when you write notes.

Nice UI, easy to use

A great alternative to Evernote without the learning curve. Has most essential features and focuses on user privacy which is nice.

Best notes app

I’ve used a lot of notes apps trying to find the perfect one. This is it! Sync, encryption, export, markdown, attachments, this one has it all ands then some!

Web clip option

Been looking for a simple(ish) notes app to get nahstee Google Keep out of my IPhone and Android phone life, syncing between each phone and which will save web pages. This fills that need better than anything else I’ve found so far and as a very small use retiree on limited funds the reasonable free tier is great for this use case. Hopefully my recommendations to others will give more of a lucrative return!
