### 4/5 — Pretty good but bugged

*2025-03-14, version 1.12.6*

Overall the app is good when it works. But often the entry box doesn’t work, especially if you’ve clicked on tags, or if you expand the notes, then the entry box just shows a pop up function for paste etc and no keyboard. A bit frustrating to use at the moment. Hope it gets fixed soon!

### 5/5 — Una buona app

*2025-03-04, version 1.12.6*

Reputo che è una buona app , all’inizio ci ho messo un pochino per capirla , ma perché non uso le app del genere. Ma dopo un può ho trovato molto utile nel lavoro e nella via quotidiana. Certo si puo trovare piu “nuove” ma sinceramente meglio semplicità

### 5/5 — When will be available in the “share to” shortcut?

*2024-06-25, version 1.12.5*

When will be available in the “share to” shortcut?

### 2/5 — Privacy issues - tracks across platforms

*2024-04-19*

Forget a passcode lock feature, work on eliminating user data mining, ESP with 3rd parties… nobody wants their personal data shared, esp across websites..

### 1/5 — Weird and confusing set up

*2024-04-19, version 1.12.5*

I don't like this app at all. Should be really easy to create a brand-new note but it isn't. Even with the pro package this app is seriously flawed in the way it's set up. It's not easy to use and it's not user-friendly

### 4/5 — It's been a year

*2023-08-13, version 1.12.5*

I've been on a long search for a simple notes app to replace Apple native notes. It's not that I don't like Notes- it's that it crashes when I try to work within it. I can add to it but that seems to have changed recently. I feel like a lot of apps, stores (I’m looking at you Amazon, every app and the online interface too), UI, and even iPadOS are installing micro-aggressive functionality for no reason whatsoever other than they want to break the users. I returned to my search because Notes isn't going to improve.* Wading through app features is a challenge, trying to figure out how to use the dang apps is sometimes nigh impossible, interpreting the sometimes obscenely high rental rates- aka “subscriptions”- feels like an exercise in futility when what they might buy me are obscured or not even listed (because apparently the App Store has few requirements to make sure app descriptions are clear). I appreciate it when I can buy an app rather than rent, when the cost is reasonable, but there can be problems even after a user purchases it. There are the problems intentionally inflicted on users by the company: I’ve read reviews about apps because users still see ads after they purchased the full version or they still have charges for new filters, new colors, new sets of prettiness or coolness (that’s a high level of pettiness and coldness), or, instead of adding new features to an established app that plenty of users *already own*, a company will release a new app with all the new features. Sometimes the old app is left to moulder, abandoned, never updated. Sometimes it vanishes. Since there is no way I know of to assess the long, or heck, medium term viability of a development company or even individual apps within a company.  A lifetime purchase, or access, sounds great and it is often better than rent, but what does it really mean? As users of an app we’re the ones taking the risks. We’re the supplicants of the developers we entrusted with our data and we approach, hats in hand, hoping that not only will we continue to have access to it but that we’ll also be able to manage it somehow, be it in another app or a straight up program on a PC or Mac.

Another problem arises when a developer switches their focus or gets busy with other projects. It sometimes happens with podcasts- multiseason, often fictional, maybe with a full cast, music scores, exciting podcasts- but they usually don’t have the same consequences as when app developers drop or wander away from something people rely on. It’s one thing when it’s a game albeit an excellent one like Qat Xi and the developer quit updating it back when I had my iPhone 4S, quite another when it’s an organizational or writing app. 

The developer of NanoNote, Santu Dey, was excited about the app a year ago but the major update was never released. There were a few minor and one major bug fix and promises of features users specifically requested. I’m not suggesting they intentionally abandoned it but they functionally have. Ideally, the App Store would have the means to recruit someone else to maintain an abandoned but still useful app. The developer should have an opportunity to sell their app and transfer ownership at a reasonable cost. Of course, I’ve used a couple apps that were sold and destroyed beyond recognition, one by walmart when they bought one for prescription medication management. Ideally the original developer should maintain some rights to their idea and be able to release new versions if their original is damaged by new owners, subsumed into other apps, or if a certain amount of time has elapsed since the sale. My experiences are not unique to me.

⚫︎ Bug Fixes: Solved Note deletion problem & other minor fixes

 * I don't allow automatic updates, ever, but it looks like apps belonging to some excessively large companies do whatever they want wrt them.
