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! ### 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.. ### 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. Ver .  y ago ⚫︎ There are tons of exciting things ahead for *Structured* (?) for 2022 and I can't wait to get started. You can write to us via Setting to get early access to those features. ⚫︎ Export Note: You can export all your note to a file, save them on Apple files or wherever you want. (Setting > Export Note) ⚫︎ Improved reminder: With one click you can convert your note to a reminder. In the current version, you can choose when to set an alert (Long press on any note to start Reminder)  ⚫︎ Contribution to app translation: Currently we support Chinese & English, from now on anyone can contribute to app translation (Setting > App translation)  ⚫︎ 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. ### 3/5 — Nhỏ gọn tiện dụng *2023-07-29, version 1.12.5* App nhỏ gọn, là ứng dụng ghi chú online, offline hiệu quả. Không thể thiếu với mình ### 4/5 — แอพชอบเด้ง แก้ไขหน่อยค่ะ *2023-05-20, version 1.12.5* แบ่งเป็นหมวดสะดวกดี แต่แอพชอบเด้ง จดอยู่แล้วหายแก้ไขหน่อยค่ะ ### 3/5 — need to suppot multilanguage hashtag *2023-02-02, version 1.12.5* hashtag only work with english, so it difficult to use when you need multi language hashtag ### 3/5 — Unfortunately *2022-08-19* Great idea , clean and interface, unfortunately not support Arabic language ### 4/5 — The most unique & useful app for storing data Ive seen! *2022-07-25* I really love this app. In fact, this is the 2nd review I've written, the more I use it. I would love to put personal or private info in it, but it would need a passcode of some kind. It would be great to be able to add folders with passcodes for things I want to keep private. I think I would prefer passcodes on folders vs one passcode for the entire app. Folders with passcodes would be preferable so that I can easily add data that is not private without having to log in the app first. Another thing I LOVE about this app is that it automatically uploads to my iCloud and that enables me to have all my devices that are synced together to have the same data regardless of which device I use to enter info on. Plus, dark mode is an eye saver! What a great app & I hope to soon give it 5 stars! ### 2/5 — Not supported ภาษาไทย *2022-06-20, version 1.12.5* #ภาษาไทย - Not work #eng - Work ### 3/5 — Scan doesn't work? *2022-05-28* Is the declared Scan feature available in a Premium version? Seems it doesn't work at all. ### 5/5 — Text size is great! *2022-04-22, version 1.12.4* I can finally see what I typed! Thanks ### 5/5 — Perfect app now!!!! *2022-04-21, version 1.12.3* Earlier I had requested to make few changes jn the app while copying and the developer has finally done it. This is now an app worth every penny spent. ### 3/5 — Sudden jump in price?? *2022-04-17, version 1.12.3* I was waiting to upgrade for $1.99 but was waiting to resolve my card issue. But now I see it is $6? Not an active user but wanted keep things handy. Great app and idea though ### 3/5 — Would be so useful *2022-04-03* I love this concept but for such a small app it has a big crashing problem. I’ve had to crash just saving or deleting a note which is a super basic function. It’s a weird crash trigger **Developer response:** Please update your app, crash was happening for some devices, it’s solved now ### 5/5 — Unique interface is Intuitive *2022-04-02* Simple straightforward interface. For quick entry and retrieval of short-term notes it is awesome. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-04-01* I love the app. It sounds is easy to use. In addition I like the information as it is saved to cloud. My only request is that I could make the font a little bigger. It is a little small for me to see even with my glasses on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Idee gut, aber leider funktioniert es nicht. *2023-01-28* Ich habe die App kostenlos als pro statt 9,99€ heruntergeladen. Anders als üblich, verschwindet der „inAppKauf“ nach der Aktivierung zu PRO leider nicht. Die Möglichkeit, per Doppelklick im Chatfenster, die Scanfunktion zu aktivieren, funktioniert leider auch nicht. Gegenüber der kostenlosen, integrierten Standard-Notizfunktion von Apple selbst, bietet diese App keinen Vorteil. Die Scanfuntion, wäre interessant. Allerdings wäre ich nicht bereit, knapp 10 Euronen dafür zu zahlen. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt Ende Januar 2023 würde ich die App nicht empfehlen…tut mir leid. ### 1/5 — You need to stop with the premium notifications. *2022-05-01, version 1.12.4* I own premium, and I turned off the promotional notification. It’s pretty unacceptable to continue to push purchasing, even after being purchased and with the notifications off. Will be uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Don’t use it. *2022-03-05* One day I opened it and it had deleted everything I had put into the app. Completely defeating the purpose. I didn’t reinstall it or anything. **Developer response:** Really Sorry, You can restore from the setting. Sorry for the inconvenience ### 1/5 — No no note - broken *2022-01-19* When I change a “hashtag,” the app continues to act as if the old one is still in the note and the new one does not exist. No reason to keep an app that does not deliver its core feature. **Developer response:** Wait for 2-3 days i am uploading a new version. This is fixed already. Very sorry for the problem you have faced ### 1/5 — Isn’t better than Apple Notes *2022-01-08* So what happens when you invest a few years with this app and it goes away? It’s a safer bet to use Apple’s Note app which is free, be around for years to come, and much more integrated into the Apple ecosystem. The adds are anoying and there are privacy concerns with this company selling your personal information to its vendors. **Developer response:** Apple app obviously better, nanonote solving different problem we want help people to take small notes easily. We are storing everything on you iCloud and on your phone, We dont know what you are storing and I really respect everyone’s privacy and know the pain. So privacy will be never be an issue with nanonote. Ad is annoying for me as well, i hate as much as you do, but money is a real motivation for everyone. Trust me total money i am making does not even help me pay my wifi bill 🥲. You can connect me on whatsapp via app settings, I will show you proof. All I need more suggestions and feedback from you to help me make a better note app. ### 1/5 — Crashed after putting the 1st note *2022-01-07* Love the concept. The app just crashed and never open again after I tried to put the 1st note **Developer response:** I dont know why its happening, i am figuring out please wait for the next build ### 1/5 — Lost all note after update *2021-12-21, version 1.7* Lost all note after recent update. iPhone 11 iOS 15.1. ### 1/5 — Get rid of that annoying note which can’t be deleted. *2021-10-31, version 1.5* Okay, so this would be a good app if it wasn’t for the fact that you cannot get rid of that big white “welcome to” note. Once we’ve read it it should be deletable ! ### 1/5 — Love the concept but app keeps crashing *2021-10-30* I love this app concept, I always use my messages as note pads so this was perfect for me. But as soon as I started adding notes the apps closed it self. After that the app just crashes when open, so it’s not even usable. **Developer response:** Sorry, we are working on the issue, we will release new version soon ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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? ### 5/5 — Easy note *2023-07-25* My favorite quick note. I can write random notes in no time. Whenever I have free times, I can edit and organize them with simple hashtags. Love it. ### 5/5 — Simple note I need *2023-07-18* Feel like chat. Feel like reminder. Feel like note. This is exactly what I need. Easy to organize by having hashtags. No mess. No missing info. Best app. ### 5/5 — My opinions *2023-04-12, version 1.12.5* it will be better if The difference of Capital letter in # can separate their own # ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-02-10, version 1.12.5* Thank you so much for your app, I’m so happy I’ve found it, it’s helping me to organise my thoughts on days when writing endless lists would be exhausting, great for journaling to. I just love it! My only suggestions would be the options to add photos and it to be more colourful but these aren’t essential which is why I still rate it 5 star. Thank you and please keep up your fantastic work ### 5/5 — Спасибо ☺️ *2023-01-28, version 1.12.5* Забрал ### 5/5 — LOVE this app *2022-09-20* I love the messages style display of this app. And the way you can view notes for a single hashtag or all notes at once. It definitely works very well with the way my brain operates! The ONLY downfall is that there’s no widgets — but I am hoping that’ll come with a future update! ### 5/5 — Simple is good *2022-08-21* This app reminds me of the beginning of the computer revolution and the internet. The applications, operating systems and computers that are most intuitive and not needlessly complex to use become the winners. They usually have a single visionary behind them. This app developer is from that mold. ### 5/5 — Smart an idea *2022-08-20, version 1.12.5* Thanks for your app. This is a smart idea. Could you add a small calculation to add automatically plus or minus?
