### 1/5 — Avoid like the plague

*2026-07-26, version 2.8.16*

I paid full price about 5 years back - they not only ignored that but have made the app unusable - every change it nags to pay for a stupidly expensive subscription - Great concept but greed has killed this app. They have answered tens of emails. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

### 5/5 — 매우 좋고 편합니다.

*2026-07-13*

형식에 관계없이, 줄 바꿈을 해도 합산이 잘 됩니다.

### 5/5 — 대체불가 최고의 앱

*2026-06-24*

언제부터였는지는 기억나지 않지만 꽤 오래 사용하고 있어요. 이제는 SumsApp이 없는 삶을 상상하기가 힘들 정도로 많이 도움받고 있습니다. 여느 때처럼 앱을 이용하다가 문득 생각이 나서 리뷰를 씁니다 좋은 앱 감사드려요👍

### 1/5 — しつこいアップグレード勧誘

*2026-05-25*

過去に購入し、便利に使わせていただいておりました。

最近アップデートしたところ、保存データを開くたびに「proにアップグレード」という画面に切り替わりとても不便です。

不便を強いてアップグレードを誘うのは、諸般の事情による設計思想なのでしょうか。

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-04-13, version 2.8.15*

Stop asking for reviews every time I open the app

### 1/5 — 買ったはずだった…

*2026-02-12*

昔々、買い切りで買ったはずですが、いつぞやのアップデートから開くたびにpro版を勧められるようになった。

「あれ？買ったと思っていたんだけど、気のせいだった？何かの間違い？」と思っていたら、レビューに同じような人がいて、やっぱり！となった。

アプリ初期の頃からのユーザーを無碍にされたの、これが初めてです。

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-02-11, version 2.8.11*

Paid for it and it still deletes what you have put into it

### 1/5 — ポップアップに慣れてきたこの頃

*2026-01-04*

某マンガの「ディーフェンス！ディーフェンス！！」の呼び声が聞こえてきそうなくらいポップアップに邪魔されます。
これを仕様として設計しているくせに、課金のメリットのひとつに「ポップアップに邪魔されません」と謳っている。
邪魔しといてやめて欲しけりゃ払えと。恐ろしいな。みかじめ料か。

ということで代替アプリを探しているのだけど、恐らく皆さまもそうであるようにピンとくるものが無いのですよね。

しょうがない。自分で作るかー

### 5/5 — 👏

*2025-12-10, version 2.8.9*

Cette modeste application est une formidable trouvaille d'ingéniosité. À ma connaissance, elle est unique en son genre sur l'Appstore.

### 5/5 — Petite appli qui voit grand

*2025-11-10, version 2.8.9*

L’air de rien, base de teste simple mais oh combien utile de pouvoir calculer en textant sans avoir à changer d’appli. Bravo!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.8.16 — 2026-05-02

If you deleted a file while editing it, the folder’s number didn’t update. That’s now fixed.

### 2.8.15 — 2026-03-13

Fixed a crash that could occur when duplicating multiple items in Edit mode.

### 2.8.14 — 2026-03-12

Fixed a crash that could occur when sorting notes by Total
Improved the Today shortcut: long-press now inserts time in a format that keeps titles sorted correctly
Smoother navigation when moving up a folder level

### 2.8.13 — 2026-02-17

Manual iCloud Sync either by pulling down the list or enabling iCloud Sync in Settings was not showing the result immediately. You had to close and reopen the app to see it. This issue is now resolved.
The last update inadvertently made iCloud sync after moving items take too long because of unnecessary tasks over the internet. Synchronization is now optimized.
The last update stopped importing notes from MemoMa from working. The issue is now resolved.

Thank you for sharing your positive feedback and concerns with me. Because Team SumsApp is just one person — me — it can sometimes be very challenging to make sure everything works on all models. However, I am committed to continuously improving the app for your convenience. If you experience any problems, please let me know. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

### 2.8.12 — 2026-02-11

Modernized all codes related to saving data on device as well as syncing over iCloud. This update enhances the stability of data storage. Regardless, it is strongly recommended that you either make frequent backups with CSV export or enable iCloud Sync to safeguard your records. Thank you for sharing your experience with SumsApp. Your feedback is extremely valuable for making the app better.
Subscription page's aesthetic is revised especially for devices with small screens.
