User reviews

Confused

I'm so confused. I downloaded the app thinking I would give it a try and then maybe sign up for premium.

Y'all...

I couldn't even figure out how to create a single note.

Maybe you have to have premium to create any notes at all?

I dunno, man, but I don't think this one's going to stay in my app library very long.

Title: Thank you for your feedback! Here is how to create a note Hi there, thank you for trying Scout! We sincerely apologize for the confusion. To keep the interface ultra-minimal and distraction-free, Scout creates notes directly from the search bar: Simply type your new note title into the search bar and press Return / Enter. You do NOT need Premium to create notes—creating and searching unlimited notes is completely free. We will improve our onboarding instructions in the upcoming update so this is immediately clear. We hope you give Scout another try!
