What's New in Quick Notes with widget

3.1.0

October 11, 2026

Quick Notes 3.1 makes iCloud sync much more reliable and makes sure your notes stay safe. More reliable iCloud sync - Notes now sync between your devices more dependably, and the app no longer gets stuck on "Syncing…". - If you edit a note while changes arrive from another device, your edits are merged with them and nothing gets overwritten. Your cursor stays where it was. - Your latest changes finish saving and syncing even if you leave the app right after typing. Your notes, protected - If a sync conflict happens, Quick Notes keeps a copy of your text and lets you know, so you can review it. - It's now easier to find and restore notes from versions before 3.0. Sync status and help - The app shows clearer messages when it's syncing or when something needs your attention. - The Sync settings now show your iCloud account status, and you can copy diagnostics if you need to contact support. Other improvements - Better layout on iPhone Duo. - Bug fixes and stability improvements.

New update broken widget

Love this app and use it everyday for taking notes.
I appreciate the ongoing support of this app.
Unfortunately though when I jot something into the widget now it isn’t updating in the widget.

BEST simple note widget

I’ve been using this app for years and I’m thrilled to see that they even updated it recently. They didn’t need to because it was already great, but I love the new changes.

If you want a very simple, easy to use app to have text lists or anything quickly accessible on your screen, this is it!

Uh…

I’m pretty sure the update broke my long-running notes. Stuck on “Syncing…”
