If you forget your password, the security question doesn't work, and deleting the app or clearing iCloud data does not reset it. When you reinstall, it remains permanently locked on the password screen. There is no option to wipe the app and start fresh, even though I am willing to sacrifice the data. Please fix this lockout bug! ### 3/5 — Good app, expensive *2026-04-08, version 4.2.1* Loved this app, until it told me I needed to pay £13 to have more than three notes. Not a cat in h£ll’s chance. Good if your willing to pay ### 4/5 — Review *2025-10-05, version 4.2.1* A simple, secure note app. ### 2/5 — I don’t understand why this is ‘Pro’ *2025-07-11, version 4.2* The only difference between this app and their other secure notes app is the ability to change the notepad and icon colours. That’s fair enough, what I don’t understand is how these differences justify ‘Unlimited storage’ (or the ability to use the app as intended) is $5 more expensive than the non-Pro version. The same way I don’t understand why the unlimited storage of the journal app costs more in one than the other. ### 4/5 — Excellent *2024-11-01, version 4.0.1* Great App using long time. Thank you all the developers Good work, good job. ### 3/5 — Nice locking program *2024-08-19, version 4.0.1* Even though this is a very good security program, it would be nice if you could add more features closer to Apple’s Word like indentations, bolding, underlining, etc. you were also not able to cut and paste images. Adding these features or enhancements would make this program a lot stronger, another interesting problem or unwanted feature was that even though I had the program on my iPhone when I got an iPad, the program downloaded yet none of my data was able to be transferred to this iPad app and I had to manually cut and paste all the different folderswhich is a pain in the butt. ### 2/5 — Just too slow *2024-07-31, version 4.0.1* I’ve tried with product. It may be my iPad or WiFi but it’s now getting dumped, just too slow & not fit for purpose ### 4/5 — Terrific App! *2024-03-19, version 4.0.1* Overall excellent. I give it a 4. One feature that would make it a 5 in my opinion would be the addition of two buttons for cut and paste entries. That would add convenience to the app. ### 5/5 — Works Well having used the App many years *2024-03-11, version 4.0.1* This has been a really useful App for keeping notes secure and password protected. I do have a lingering doubt though and that is does the developer have access? I know it says safe and secure but do we really know?? Who can you trust these days. After many years I have had no problems and always worked well. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-01-03, version 4.0.1* Good place to put your information ### 5/5 — Long time user *2023-10-20, version 4.0.1* Love the app Wish I could highlight text ### 5/5 — Very good but… *2023-09-20, version 4.0.1* I want to log out by configuring the logout in never and Touch ID but I put my finger and it doesn’t log out ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Suddenly deleting new info *2026-08-20, version 4.2.1* I have loved this app for years. But about 4 days ago it randomly stopped saving new information. New notes and updated existing notes—gone within 10 seconds. I’ve emailed the developer twice and no response. I had to use chatGPT to get help and I agree with its assessment that there is no issue with the cloud, but that the local database is failing to write new data. A fix or a response would be great! Only leaving this review as I apparently let have no other options of communication. ### 1/5 — Обман *2026-06-11* При попытке создать четвертую заметку всплывает окошко, что бесплатно создать можно только три заметки, для продолжения необходимо оплатить. Деньги небольшие и я б оплатила, если сразу об этом уведомили. А это свинское отношение, когда посреди рабочего дня дополнительные задачи откуда вообще не ждешь. Нет никаких гарантий, что после оплаты снова не появится подобное окошко. ### 1/5 — Restore purchase not working *2026-01-27, version 4.2.1* Downloaded to new device. Unable to restore purchase privileges. ### 1/5 — App Is Horrible *2025-08-22, version 4.2.1* After the update the notes that I have had for over 10 years all disappeared and nobody is getting back to me from support When I try to restore it says nothing to restore. I have been emailed twice with the same useless information. I need my notes back, this is ridiculous. How do you expect anyone to trust this garbage and your customer support stinks ### 1/5 — Great before the update! *2025-06-03, version 4.1.1* I love the app. I’ve used it for years. With the most recent update it doesn’t save any changes. And it will delete notes. Pleaseeeeee fix it and go back to how good it used to be. ### 1/5 — Updated and the app deleted all notes but 10 and they are from 2023! *2025-01-26, version 4.1* Please get in touch asap!!! ### 1/5 — Don’t down load pro *2024-04-21, version 4.0.1* I lost all my info by doing this. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync to iCloud *2023-12-26, version 4.0.1* I just updated to iOS 17.2 and this is the first new app I’ve purchased since. Maybe the iOS update is the issue but my notes do not sync to iCloud and do not appear on my other devices. It’s rather useless for me without this feature. Beyond that it’s a basic notepad app with password protection. It’s exactly what I wanted except iCloud sync doesn’t with iOS 17.2. ### 1/5 — Where are my notes??!! *2023-04-29, version 4.0.1* My critical notes have vanished into thin air.I saw your response to others who said this. I held the “recover deleted notes” (nothing says “restore”) as you suggest. And the result is that I now have duplicate notes of the ones that were still there, but my missing notes are just gone. These were really needed and I have no way to reconstruct them. This is just awful. What did you do?Users, do not trust your notes to this app. This is a nightmare. ### 1/5 — Lost all my notes *2023-04-23, version 4.0.1* I lost all my recent notes. Old notes from 2 years ago show up. I have paid for this app. When I got to restore old data, nothing shows up. Please help ASAP! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Used for years *2026-04-28, version 4.2.1* Love it works for me ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-04-16, version 4.2.1* Very useful app. Use it all the time.
