I received a message it would not work with next version of iOS unless it was updated. Love the app and would like to keep it. ### 3/5 — Update Needed? *2017-03-28, version 1.4* Great app for security for my private info but Apple tells me it is slowing my device because it needs updating. ### 4/5 — Works great but one issue *2016-06-13, version 1.4* This app works very well, but the note don't look right when viewing in landscape mode. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — Love the security *2016-03-19, version 1.4* I keep all my passwords in this app and feel very comfortable doing so. My only problem is I can't find a way delete, email or print anything from this app since the last update. It could be my lack of the techno gene, but hopefully, this will be fixed with the next update. ### 3/5 — Genius *2015-10-29, version 1.4* Allows you to use it as a normal notepad until you type in the password and it unlocks the private notes. Great for keeping track of gift ideas without anyone knowing what you're getting them! Only a couple problems which is why I took off two stars. First, when enabling Touch ID, you get a prompt to use Touch ID every time you open the app which may raise suspicion in someone who might look through your notes. Idk if this is a prompt that Apple requires, but if it's possible to use Touch ID without the prompt, I'll change my review. Secondly, if you opt for a normal password that you type in, QuickType already has it showing when you open the app. If you choose a peculiar word, it will easily stand out from suggested words such as "I," and "The." ### 4/5 — Good, but... *2015-01-08, version 1.4* I would like to see it sync between devices. I have notes on my iphone that I want to see on my ipad. If it would sync, I would give it a five star rating. ### 5/5 — Try It! *2014-12-29, version 1.4* I don't have any problems with this app. It's great! It's the best private note app ever! Now, no one can look at my notes. 😍😘 ### 5/5 — This is awesome! *2014-11-01, version 1.4* This is just what I needed! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — One big problem *2017-05-16, version 1.4* I used this a lot. It was nice to keep private data encrypted. Problem is if you turn your phone sideways, it shows your private notes. That kind of takes away the whole point of the app. ### 1/5 — Major Major Flaw *2017-02-11, version 1.4* you can get into the app without a password when you rotate the screen into landscape view (like 90% of the time). app is useless bc of this feature. ### 1/5 — Password is saved *2015-10-20, version 1.4* The password is saved in the fake view. ### 1/5 — help?? *2015-01-22, version 1.4* I can't figure out how to get off the fake message page? It won't let me see anything else ### 1/5 — Review for ap *2015-01-14, version 1.4* All my notes suddenly disappeared. Lost my mom last year and took important notes during her fight w cancer. Thought i could depend on this ap. ### 2/5 — Need to be fix *2017-12-20, version 1.4.1* I’m writing this on this page because they wouldn’t answer my emails. The dropbox needs to be fix. I can’t link it. I did delete the app and install it again. Still didn’t work. I use this app a lot. I even recommended it to my friends. 2/5 ### 2/5 — Buggy... *2015-12-08, version 1.4* I cannot edit my existing note below where the keyboard is popped up. I wish I could click on the note in the place I would like to edit, but I cannot. ### 3/5 — Lost data. *2020-06-15, version 1.4.1* I used this for different reason and I liked it so far. Recently I lost data that I was keeping since 2016. I am trying to retrieve it and try to google it on how to fix it but no luck so far. ### 3/5 — Great Apps *2019-03-29, version 1.4.1* I love it however it is not enough room to me to finish my secret notes ### 3/5 — Dropping two stars as it needs a 64-bit update *2017-05-27, version 1.4* Sadly if this App is not updated for 64-bit compatibility it will no longer run on iOS 11 and later. So I'm having to move my notes out of this really great App. A private notes App hiding behind a working notes App. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great notepad and password hider app *2018-06-16, version 1.4.1* I really like this app because it’s a cute notepad for your phone, nicer than the supplied Apple one. I also love the hidden notepad because you can keep personal info and passwords safe without anyone ever knowing that the app has that option! ### 5/5 — My Notes *2017-08-10, version 1.4* We are informed this good app will Not work with iOS 11,which is coming up soon, if it is not upgraded. I am thoroughly enjoying my bundle, so please do something fast as we don't want to lose our confidential notes or this great apps. Thanks . Benj. ### 5/5 — High-Quality design *2016-04-19, version 1.4* This app's has a more user-friendly and common sense design and interface than most "regular" note apps at the Store - even without the privacy feature! I appreciate the choice of fonts and font sizes -- this feature is often overlooked that by lesser apps. But not here. Overall, this is high-quality and impressive note taking application. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Super app *2016-04-15, version 1.4* This is great for passwords, etc. best app of its kind, because when opened, it just resembles a text editor unless you know and enter the password. ### 5/5 — Hiding in plain sight *2016-01-30, version 1.4* This app is so good I use it too much so I'm requesting a search function so I can easily find a specific note. Needs a search function. Works as a simple note app and in no way reveals it's intended use. The icon and app name conceal this secret well. There's no evidence that would give a snooper a clue that this was anything more than a really simple note pad. Nice because you can use letters in combination with numbers without being limited to 4 digits. Integrates with Dropbox. There's nothing better than hiding in plain site. Perfect. ### 5/5 — Reliable security *2016-01-14, version 1.4* Have used this app across three phone upgrades and never had any issues. Works great and gives me peace of mind knowing my info is there and safe. ### 5/5 — Genius! *2015-11-13, version 1.4* I love it!!!! PLEASE never update or change a thing about this app. Let people email you if they truly cannot figure out how to use it. If you really want to make changes in the future, just market the updated app under a new name so this one never changes. Thank you for your brilliance! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-04-06, version 1.4* Must have ### 5/5 — So useful *2015-03-30, version 1.4* I use this for my medication list (it's nobody's business but mine), story ideas, and unimportant passwords to sites I don't use often. I even get to use the "fake" list as my grocery list. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-03-17, version 1.4* This is a super great app. It's perfect! Out of all the notepad lock apps I've seen or used, this is by far the best one out of them all! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
