Amazing

YepNotes is a clean and simple note-taking app built for quick ideas, lists, and reminders. I like how the gesture-based controls keep everything fast without filling the screen with buttons. Reminders, checklists, Siri Shortcuts, iCloud sync, widgets, and Apple Watch support make it useful for everyday notes. 📝📱✨

리뷰와 제안 감사합니다 😊 현재는 특정 단어로 노트를 검색하는 기능과 태그 기능은 지원하지 않고 있습니다. 검색 기능은 유용한 기능이라고 생각하며, 향후 업데이트를 위해 검토하겠습니다. 감사합니다!

Cool notes app

Would love to see it more fleshed out with additional features like formatting toolbar, note content search, etc

Thanks a lot for the 5-star review! Note search is definitely something I’m considering, and I’ll also keep your suggestion about text formatting in mind for future updates. Thanks for helping YepNotes improve!

Useful, Simple, But Missing Some Things

Easy to use, but missing a few necessities…
1. Need a way to search…
a. Layers
b. Note groups
2. Consolidate or Combine Notes/Groups
(Not copy/paste/delete)
3. Print
a. Single page
b. Entire note groups
c. All notes

Don’t know why my negative review keeps getting deleted....

This app no longer works as of 04/06/21. It stopped working quite a few months ago, but my reviews with full details keep getting removed. I am not going to keep giving full info. The app crashes...period. There is no access to any data previously stored. Horrible thing to do to people. No response from dev about the issue. iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPad Air 3, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 6, all fully updated as far as each can be both in iOS and app version, all have same crashing experience.

Lovely Little App

I like this app. It has an interesting approach to note taking with the swipe left/right controls intuitive, quick and easy. It’s quite simple without a whole host of sophisticated features and it’s all the better for that. If you need to keep lists, reminders, etc. then this is a rather nice way to do it.
Support seems good too - the developer was very quick to respond.

Works awesome no issues here!

I really enjoy this app! I’m not sure what other reviewers are on about but I have zero issues with it. The first page of notes acts like a folder to put your notes in. You can create many lengthy notes and expand them, edit them, and share them with ease.

All of the functions are gesture based. Swipe left or right to navigate from the settings and from window to window. Apparently other reviewers didn’t take time to learn how the app works before submitting negative reviews. I have zero issues. Keep up the good work!

Potential

I disagree with those that think it's complicated. It seems very simple to me. However, my pictures disappear once I leave the note, and that needs to be fixed.

Hmmm. 😢

I also found this through AppAdvice, and have found many great apps through there. This I am not impressed with, however. This is a great idea, but the execution...I really thought it couldn’t be THAT bad after reading the reviews, but it appears to be so, at least on my newer iPad Pro... there appears to be no way to actually view a note enlarged, so that you can read its contents... it just remains a tiny square on your screen, displaying only a fraction of the words you wrote. When I swiped to get to the Settings and Help, there appears to be no way to get back out- I had to exit out of the app and close it out completely, and reopen it in order to get to my note screen. The screen shots show a way to change colors, and a way to add reminders. It also shows what appears to be a way to display recipes with checklists etc. This is not possible on my version of this app on my newer iPad.

Hello, We are very sorry for the problems you are having with YepNoteS. YepNotes is based on the principle of sweep. For to go back to the list screen you must sweep the settings screen to the left. Sweep the list screen to the right for to go back on the settings screen. You can contact us at contact@angama.co, we will try to solve your problem.

Love it

This is an absolutely brilliant note app,I really like the integration with the share sheet and the ability to set a reminder for a note.

This WAS an outstanding application.

This was my go-application. Now, is crashes when I try to dictate. Trying to contact the developer yields only an ad for Spectrum.

Thank you for your message. A new version of YepNoteS is available. It solves the problem.

No pasting?

Sorry, I was unable to paste, and could not edit a folder, other then that, it’s cute and has potential ....

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry about the paste issue and folder editing problem. YepNotes has improved a lot since then, and I’m actively maintaining it to make the app smoother and easier to use. I really appreciate your kind words.

Enormous potential, however .....

I’m always on the lookout for a decent new note taking app. Initially on inspection this offering piqued my interest. However there are two concerns for me here ... 1. The swiping needed to perform everything is constant, annoying and on many occasions, ineffectual. ... 2. There is mention on the actual App Store product page that the app is ‘free for one month’. This eludes to the product being subscription based. This subscription based model of marketing is a Non- sustainable and aggressive marketing practice and hopefully it is banned from the App Store in the near future. Having said all that the product GUI is pretty, very pleasing and is a fresh new style of taking notes. If all the swiping was replaced by a more effective control method like the ‘tapping’ of an area which is a technique of which we are use to, and the subscription service or any mention of it were removed l would gladly pay 5 or 10 bucks as a ‘one off’ payment to use this visually gratifying and promising idea. 2 stars removed for the 2 concerns.

CONFUSING

Agree with others, this app is NOT user friendly. No problem creating or deleting, but NO return key to start new line in a note. Note on iPad is size of postage stamp. NO edit option appeared. NO instructions except the FIRST time I opened the app. Glad I didn’t pay for it. Got it through the Apps Advice app, typically the apps they have are useful, but I didn’t find this one helpful at all ... just frustrating! Plan to delete it immediately.

Hi, thanks for your detailed feedback. I’m sorry the app felt frustrating and not user friendly at that time. YepNotes has changed a lot since then, especially on iPad, editing, note creation, and the overall experience. I’m actively maintaining the app now and working to keep it simple, fast, and easier to use. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain what didn’t work for you.

Thank you so much :-)

Almost perfect

Writing notes is meant to be quick n simple. This app does both.

We now need a search feature. You cannot search at the moment

Thank you for your message. This feature will be available soon. ^_^

Potentially Useful...If

This app has potential for being a good app. On my iPad Pro it will not delete notes or lists. It asks me to confirm the deletion of a list but will not allow a response. My only recourse is to delete the app. DON'T BUY! Bye, bye
