### 2/5 — Lack of Picture sizing in Notes

*2026-06-10*

It’s a pretty good app, but they really need to make some updates on certain things like the pictures when you put it in Notes I need to be able to actually make them smaller and be able to click it to enlarge it that way, then the app will be a five star in my opinion. in fact, once that option is available and manageable, I will change it to a five star.

### 5/5 — Спасибо

*2026-05-26, version 7.0*

Много лет я пользуюсь этим приложением. Для меня оно самое лучшее! Я не представляю свою жизнь уже без него. Пожалуйста, не забрасывайте это приложение. Иногда вылетает, есть некоторые ошибки при использовании.

### 4/5 — Есть проблема в приложении

*2026-05-14*

Приложение тупит! Длинные списки не показывает, не опускается вниз! И некоторые шрифты, которые предложены в блокноте, не поддерживаются! Пожалуйста исправьте это!

### 5/5 — Нет синхронизации

*2026-05-02*

Все хорошо. Ничего лишнего. Никаких свистоперделок.  Очень не хватает синхронизации с прочими устройствами Apple.

### 5/5 — Лучшее

*2026-01-30*

9 лет я пользуюсь им. Пока нет ничего лучше и удобнее. К стандартному приложению айфона я так и не привыкла

### 1/5 — Вы потеряете все что там записано!

*2025-10-27*

Все записи стерлось в моменте, видимо был какой то глюк в системе, хуже всего почта службы поддержки просто не отвечает!

### 4/5 — It’s good

*2025-09-08, version 7.0*

But it’s not as good as most of the apps you cold get 😬 but I love it a lot 🙂

### 1/5 — Караул

*2025-07-09*

Разработчики забили болт на это приложение , а зря, были не плохие заметки

### 1/5 — Багует будь здоров

*2025-05-29*

Вы когда планируете баги исправлять? Пытаюсь выделить текст — меня к верху условной заметки кидает. Хочу отмотать вниз, пока печатаю — клава какого-то черта перекрывает условно последний абзац (раньше такого не было). Последний год приложухе всё хуже и хуже, а ей пользуюсь с 21 года где-то. Так сложно не быть поганными чертями и исправить неточности?

### 1/5 — Не синхронизируется !!

*2025-05-04*

Как синхронизировать заметки между iPad и iPhone ? Под одной учетной записью , на iPhone заметки есть, на iPad - пусто…
