### 2/5 — IMPORTANT!

*2025-01-28, version 2.7.6*

Hey, I really like this app but the notes get deleted if you delete the app and then download it again. Isn’t there a way to add an email to the app so that even if the app is deleted we can still get the download the app on a different device and log in with our email to get our notes?

### 3/5 — Good but needs more features

*2024-04-24, version 2.7.3*

This app is great for quick notes, I used it every day for everything I needed to jot down. For me I had a giant list of my passwords in this app. I unfortunately wasn’t smart enough to write them down also, because one day with no warning I accidentally swiped left, and deleted all of my passwords. This is probably my fault in a few ways but a “recently deleted” would be amazing and help so much with keeping my passwords safe without worrying about them being deleted

### 3/5 — Needs some options

*2017-12-18*

I like this app i do but there is one thing i dont like about this app and that the title. Each message needs a title and when we select the message from the app in the message app it pastes with the title which is annoying. Give the option to use title while pasting saved message or without title.

**Developer response:** Update: all of your concerns have been resolved in version 2.1
Hope you like it

### 4/5 — good app

### 4/5 — Wow, a significant improvement

*2024-01-15*

15JAN24: sent support about a text sizing issue = BOOM -fixed! Keep in the background to absorb random thoughts and ideas with an occasional paste (format-free!). A fine, reliable writing companion. Large-Tip-Time  =Peace=

### 5/5 — Suuuuper simple, like the name

*2025-09-29*

This app is suuuuper simple, which sounds like a bad thing at first, but it’s actually very good. Completely 100% free! I just needed a notes app for just that, jotting down small notes and keeping all my random little thoughts in one single app. Good for quick to-do list for the day, things to remember for next meeting, quick shopping list. No fancy overwhelming tools or nothing just notes. If u like fancy tools and text and stuff then just find another notes app, I’ll keep this one all to myself.

You just press the pen button and just write. You can also favorite notes which I do for thoughts I need at my immediate disposal. Most recent favorited note goes at the very top. Also makes the title of the note the first line of text you write no need to come up with a title. There’s a search bar right up there to look for specific thoughts. Easy to delete just swipe left. Swipe right to quickly favorite as well. You can customize overall font size so I can make the text big so I can see it without doing it manually for each note.

### 5/5 — Why I like simple notes

*2025-09-25, version 2.7.6*

The best notes app ever!

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — APPropriately titled notes

*2024-08-09, version 2.7.5*

This app is perfect in its simplicity and utility.
It takes notes and allows you to do so quickly with as few steps as possible between you thinking it and putting your idea down. That's what a notepad should be. A notepad shouldn’t require a subscription or third party cloud storage and telemetry. I really like its integration with imessage too, very useful.

### 5/5 — Simple notes, minimum features, no junk

*2023-10-23*

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Has features: Plain text notes Sorting notes Star-ing notes Sharing notes as text or text file Text size adjustment Doesn’t have ads, like most free apps use. The in-app purchases are a tip-jar. Full features for free and just money to say thank you. I’ll be saying thank you and I hope others do as well. Excellent and well-made.

### 5/5 — Mostly does what it claims to do

*2020-08-30*

This app and other apps by this developer do what they claim to do.
This app in particular is well designed, simple and does the job albeit it is a bit rough around the edges (which is more that what I can say about many other free apps).
