doesn’t let me in

i haven’t used the app since before the new update and it won’t let me in. i typed in my 4 digit pin and it says my password is wrong. i can’t use face ID because i set that up. again, that face ID and password thing is new. the old version just had a 4 digit pin. i have no way to get into my notes. but before the update, it was a good app

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

It was a great, simple app and then they updated it and now it’s so frustrating. It barely works, nothing looks pleasing, and for some reason I can’t even see what I’m typing while I’m typing it because I can’t scroll down far enough for it to be past the keyboard. Very very mad that this app was ruined

Animation on a notepad app

The open animation has to go. It’s annoying and makes that app feel super slow when accessing so unlike a secure note app. (iPhone notes is still just as secure and can be viewed on all devices in your apple devices list on account.) fancy but not a replacement for iPhones notes. Which is already encrypted. 👈🏾👍🏾

Update ruined it

I have used this app for YEARS. LOVED it. I hesitated to do the recent update and stalled for months. I don’t remember accepting the update but suddenly yesterday the app was entirely different. For me it’s unusable now. It doesn’t work. I can’t access the folders, I have to go into Notes and even then it’s glitchy and annoying. It doesn’t display my text the same way it used to. It’s so incredibly different and frustrating, I have already found a new app and will be deleting this today. Bummer.

new update is trash

this used to be a great, simple notes app. encrypted and super secure, with an easy to use folder system that kept notes organized and a simple but refined design. then they decided to roll out a new update and ruin it all. the new user interface is overly complicated and glitchy. the app runs so slow now that when i write notes, the letters i type appear a whole 1-2 seconds after i type them and sometimes never appear at all. the option to have a simple 4-number code is gone, and the only options available now are a typed code or face ID. worst of all, essential features that were free before are now locked behind a paywall. it’ll be a pain to move all my notes elsewhere but if it’s what i have to do to avoid this app’s greedy developers then it’s what i will do.
