### 5/5 — Noted

*2026-07-04, version 3.3.2*

I like this app. Keep all my reminders intact.

### 5/5 — フォルダ分け、検索がありがたい

*2026-05-22*

実習の際に覚えることが多いため、フォルダ分け出来るかこちらのアプリをインストールし使い始めました。
細かくフォルダ分けできるのがとても便利で、別々の場所に同じ内容の事を書いてしまった時は検索でさがせるのもありがたいです！欲を言えば、検索したキーワードが色付けされて提示されればさらに嬉しいです(有料プランとかで…)
バックアップは取れますが、この端末を紛失するとデータがまるごと消えてしまうので、他機種とのデータ同期ができるようになるとありがたいです…有料プランで追加していただければ購入したいと思っています！

### 4/5 — すごく良いアプリなので…

*2026-04-01, version 3.3.0*

普段から愛用せていただいています。
使いやすく見た目や使い勝手もすごく好みで長く使っていましたが、引き継ぎ機能が無く機種変時などにメモが真っさら無くなります💦
すごく気に入っていたアプリだったので少しマイナスが大きく感じてしまいましたが
引き継ぎ機能が追加されるようであれば今後とも使いたいと思います！どうかよろしくお願いします

### 4/5 — 広告ジャック

*2026-03-24, version 3.3.0*

されたので、昨夜一旦削除しました。

今までは、メモ使用中に広告に邪魔された時は、画面の上の方にあるベストノートのアイコンをタップすれば、広告は消えて、元の編集画面に戻っていたのに・・・編集画面を広告に乗っ取られるなんて！

今後このような事がないように、お願いします🤲

### 1/5 — The new ads ruined it

*2026-02-08, version 3.2.9*

I used to love this app and use it all day every day but now it’s got these new ads with sound that interrupt your background videos - so you have to stop what you are doing and go restart your video then when you get back to the note pad again it does it again!!! And constantly!! repeatedly! I could see if I have closed the app, and then re-opened it, I could deal with that, but I’m writing notes to a teaching on a video and this is freaking maddening that it keeps stopping my video! I have to go find a different note pad. This will not work for me like this. I will check back one day and see if it’s back to normal so I can use it again because I really loved it until this started. I don’t mind ads - but ads with sound is way too much to deal with when you are literally trying to take notes…on a notepad. That’s what it’s for. 🙈😩😭

### 1/5 — イライラする！！！

*2026-02-02, version 3.2.9*

メモ開きながら、LINEミュージック聞いてたら、途中で広告出てきて、音楽止まる▶︎アプリに戻る押す▶︎音楽再生して、メモに戻ると、また広告！のエンドレスでストレスやばい！！！！前はアプリに戻るで戻れてたのに、なんで？？改善してください。音楽聞かせてください。

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-01-13, version 3.2.8*

Easy to use

### 4/5 — とっても便利だけど…

*2026-01-03, version 3.2.6*

いつも使わせてもらっています！
このアプリに出会ってからメモアプリはこれ一択です…！
強いて言うなら、昇順、降順を選べたら凄く嬉しいです…！
新しく書いたメモを1番下まで持っていくのが結構大変で…！
新しいメモが上に来るか下に来るか選べたら嬉しいなと思います！

### 3/5 — 引き継ぎが…

*2025-12-27, version 3.2.6*

使い勝手がかなり良く、数年愛用しておりましたが、機種変更をすることになり、今のiPhoneを下取りに出すためにとりあえずiPadで見られればとバックアップをとりました。
しかし、iPadで復元しようとバックアップをタップするとアプリが落ちる…。
かなりの数のメモがあるのですが、これから手動で1個ずつコピペします…
これまでずっとお世話になってただけにショックです

### 2/5 — ★広告が唯一の難点

*2025-12-18*

シンプルさだけでなくこれを支援する様々な機能が充実している点が特徴で、アプリのシステム自体は★５です。

ただし、日々の限られた細切れの時間で度々表示される広告が作業の連続性を阻害し、思考を妨げ、広告を消す際の関連操作に無駄な作業を誘発させ、時にはこれらの対応で頭をよぎったアイデアを書き留め損ねる点など、集中している際には腹の底から呪詛を叫びたくなる気持ちは否定できません。

ただ、アプリの設計がとても良いため、１ではなく★２とさせていただきました。
