No Customer Service
The app’s website said refunds are free, no questions asked - 3 emails over 2 weeks have not been responded to and I have not been refunded. I gave them ample opportunity before leaving a bad review, I guess $129 is the price of one star.
Nothing Doing
Downloaded, opened, entered email to begin registration and nothing. Closed app, went through the same process, same result.
I won’t login using Apple or Google. So too bad, onto the next.

Looks neat doesn’t work
I recorded several notes over thirty minutes. Not one has shown up.
MY PLEA TO DEVELOPER:
Please please please make this app IPAD-FRIENDLY!
Otherwise it’s a great app with a big limitation, for me at least.

Resting on their laurels
Updates have slowed tremendously. Road map is whittling down. Responses to feedback and suggestions have been hostile for no reason. Considering their focus is now AI, where there are now hundreds of AI note apps, there is nothing setting the, apart anymore. Better to move on and not rely on this service for your notes.

“A” rating for the app, but it’s not perfect.
Reflect is a well built and certainly basic note taking application with a solid AI implementation that is supported by a small team with no ambition to move fast or add in functionality that is considered basic in most other tools (simple table support, anything more that very basic text formatting support.)
You get a 2 week trial to see if it’s for you. Take advantage of it. If it’s for you, you’ll know. If it’s not, it’s not going to change for you.

A reliable place to land, day after day
Reflect Notes really does live up to its focus on reliability. I use it throughout the day to dictate notes and capture what’s happening as life unfolds. The date-based format and voice transcription make it easy to just show up and log the day without friction.
What keeps me here is how steady the app feels. It opens quickly, works consistently, and keeps improving the fundamentals — performance, search, and stability which matters when this is where your daily life is recorded. Over time, it’s become a quiet logbook I genuinely trust.
To the team: thank you for building something dependable and for those of us who’ve been using Reflect day after day, please keep going as this kind of care makes a real difference.

Focussed functionality but can be frustrating on mobile
Great UI look and feel
Irritating behaviours on mobile. I previously said I won’t renew subs but new year and new mindset. I wanted reflect to be my journal and PKM system .. didn’t much work for me but I’m now using it as one part of a system where other app does the heavy lifting of pkms
So realigning and only using for info capture and reflection I feel much less irritated . Would really like to see the search function improved to be more focussed on what it returns (very quickly I might add). Just too much text with no highlighting of what has been found Ho hum
Any way I increased my rating as result ..

No thanks
Customer service is unreliable and unresponsive. I don't trust them.
App is like barebones Logseq while being simple and opinionated to a fault, while charging super premium prices. $120/year isn't cheap and this feels like an app I would spend $40 on as a one time purchase.

It's slick, efficient, fast, and useful on desktop, but I find irritating on mobile and have pretty much stopped using. Development seems to have gone glacial. I will not be renewing subs
Bye Bye Apple Notes
Reflect is such a better way of taking notes, has completely replaced Apple Notes for my daily note taking and core note taking app. I’ve been using it for two years straight now, and it’s the single App I recommend most to friends. Top three differentiators that make it better IMO: 1) AI dictation fully integrated into the app - OMG the ability to brain dump after a meeting, on a walk or run, in the car, etc and quickly process the transcript with AI and then incorporate it into my note structure has massively improved my productivity and information retention. Also great for transcribing zoom/teams/meet calls without a user logged in (i.e. incognito). 2) the Daily Note structure is really the way I’ve always wanted to use notes. It’s so much more intuitive. Each day, you have a note and then you can link different parts of your daily notes to your other notes (i.e. specific client notes, my Gardening Log, my personal reflections journal, etc). 3) Native AI processing of notes including advanced “Chat with Your Notes” feature to basically have an expanded context window for my historical notes in any category, time date, etc is amazing.

Development has really slowed down & still no official iPad app
I’ve switched to Mem AI because of its continued development, additional features, official iPad app, search functionality, and seamless AI integration. I hope Reflect Notes will once again keep pace with competitors because it used to be one of my favorite note taking apps.
Can’t sign up!
I never received the secure login link they said they’d send. Don’t use this.

It's slick, efficient, fast, and useful on desktop, but this ux slickness is missing on touch devices (esp. iPad version). iOS UI/UX issues disrupt workflow.
I agree with focusing on core functionality, but the UX should get the basics right. These basics issues have persisted for well over a year with no attention
Other cheaper apps offer more reliable and enjoyable ux experience when on the go.

iPad.
Update: for some reason my TestFlight privileges were revoked and now I no longer can use the app on iPad. I don’t understand why there isn’t an officially released app by this point. There was nothing broken about it. So no Safari access. No iPad access. Very limited in where I can take notes. I think I need to start shift my notes elsewhere.

Best note-taking app I’ve ever used
I’ve been using Reflect for a couple years now, and I can’t imagine NOT having it. It’s the first thing I open each day, helping me organize my work, my personal tasks, and generally remember things I’d otherwise forget. Some might think “outsourcing” your memory in this way would make you less inclined to remember things, but it’s the opposite — I’ve developed a much better framework for memorizing key tasks thanks to Reflect and its AI features. If you’re on the fence about downloading it, the audio transcription alone is worth it. With this, I’m always one step ahead, no matter how many meetings I have per day.

Pretty good
I like the overall methodology it uses for notes. I dislike that there is no web app for Safari on Mac. There is no Android app, which would be fine except there is also no full mobile web app. It only allows you to access daily notes and no access to search your notes or create new notes. Only append to the daily note section. Unfortunately these issues are a concern for me as I’m someone who is using Android and Mac. I know. A weird one. In addition, their export is super anti-user friendly compared to a lot of competitors. It feels like an attempt to lock you into the platform.

Reflect for flow
I love that Obsidian and LogSeq put file over app and are malleable software. But to me, the flow of Reflect remains unbeaten, and that is more important on the day to day. For example, among the three apps, Reflect is the only one that supports relative dates.
My go to for almost everything!
Reflect is ideal if you want a clean, AI-enhanced daily note-taker without the complexity of tools like Obsidian. I use it everyday for everything from short voice notes to longform writing. Worth every penny.
