The constant reorg of notes to the last one edited is crazy annoying, and also wish you could export all of them as a backup file to save them, because right now I have to copy/paste them into word and then delete them all to start over, which is frutrating. I ### 2/5 — Want to love…but major limitations *2026-02-03* A great little app BUT there’s no way to truly format for HEADLINES. The only formatting we get is Bold, Underline, & Highlight. Wish it had an outline mode; numbers outline; etc. I think this could be the single greatest app if there was a “Markdown” or Rich Text prospect. If what you need is truly simple, go for it. If you want something more complex, look elsewhere! ### 2/5 — Note o *2026-01-10* I bought the paid version and was a disappointed since overall it is a good app but is difficult to use because the order of the notes change as soon as you click on the note. Also, there is no way to arrange the order of the notes. I am using Mac / Tahoe 26.2 ### 4/5 — Good *2025-12-10* Does exactly what you expect it to do ### 2/5 — Lacking features, lacking basic keyboard functionality, not aesthetically pleasing. *2025-10-06* Lacking features, lacking basic keyboard functionality, not aesthetically pleasing. I really have no idea how this has a score of 4.8. You can’t even create new “elements” (as they’re called) with simple keyboard short cuts like command+N, or simply hitting return. You have to use the mouse constantly. I’m not a fan of the aesthetic at all. No offense, but this just isn’t useful, fast, or pretty. ### 4/5 — Please add formatting! *2025-09-21, version 2.2.3* I love you guys but when I need to do lectures on zooms and use my notes I like to feel like formatting helps my thinking. Please add formatting or Markdown support. Current subscriber but who knows…. 🙏🏼 ### 3/5 — Partially works! *2025-06-16, version 2.2.26* Unfortunately, does not help when you are presenting with google slides. ### 2/5 — good idea but infuriation pop-ups *2025-04-17* started out fine, but every two minutes this hideous ai ad will pop up, followed by a SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE PROMPT. for a notes app. jesus christ. hopefully someone will make a better version. ### 2/5 — money hungry *2024-11-29, version 2.2.20* two pages maximum and extremely limited customization unless you're pathetic enough to pay 10 dollars a month. yeesh ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-10-19* I have been trying to make this app work but anytime I want to switch themes, the app crashed. I cannot even use command B to bold the text or use bullet points. The older version of this app was better than this. ### 1/5 — Teleprompter does not work *2024-09-30* Paid just for that and it doesn’t work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-05-07* The app advertises itself as being a transparent overlay for notes, but on mobile it literally just becomes a widget and doesn’t do what it says it does ### 1/5 — Incorrect Billing *2026-04-27* I canceled my monthly plan 5 days before it was due to renew, and now the app is forcing me to pay for a new renewal for NO REASON. My SUBSCRIPTION IS CANCELED! ### 1/5 — fraud app!!! refund me!! *2026-01-18* Such a fraud app! charge mt account weekly without sending any receipts or letting the customer know!!! Scam!!! Dont download!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible automatic charge without authorization!!! *2026-01-18* Don’t download this app! It changes your account every week automatically! Such a scam!!!! ### 1/5 — Charged 3 times *2025-11-27* I was charged 3 times (the annual subscription) on my credit card. The first, I cancelled within the trial. October 18th and I received a refund. Then I got as charged again! Twice! On October 26th and November 21th. Afraid, I ended up blocking my card. Now, Apple almost cancelled my account!! It is always the same value: R$ 199,90 This is absurd. Revolting. Because of you, I will not stop using Apple Pay … I do hope that somehow you refund me: R$ 399,80 I feel like I have been hacked ### 1/5 — APP CRASHES FROM DAY 1 AND I EVEN PAID FOR PREMIUM!!! *2025-10-25, version 2.2.3* I regret downloading and using this app. It crashed from day 1 of using it and I even bought the premium. What a waste of money. Another free item actually worked perfectly well. Do not recommend this app to anyone ### 1/5 — Pop ups on Paid Version- hinder work *2025-09-24, version 2.2.27* I can’t understand why I keep getting a notification with a huge monkey on my screen every 2 minutes to try another app while I pay for this app each month. Very annoying! ### 1/5 — Girl, This Pricing Model is Trash *2025-03-03, version 2.2.22* One Note, girlies? I only get one note in the free basic tier? 1 Note? Like a singular note for a whole notes application. You didn’t call your app “Transparent Note”. You named your app “Transparent Notes.” Why offer the download for free? You have every ability to make a “Transparent Note” app which would actually provide some transparency with the free download option. You in danger girl. Ya’ll better work this out. Cuz it’s a bit embarrassing, tbh. ### 1/5 — Just eh *2024-11-22, version 2.2.1* You can’t bold or underline within the notes. It’s just convenient because it’s transparent. ### 1/5 — money money money *2024-10-25* I get it you need to make money, but there's no need to have a huge PRO VERSION button in yellow which defeats the purpose of the app. 1/5 you should be a little more subtle. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this. *2026-04-10, version 2.4.0* I use this for whenever I am presenting online and don’t want to look like I’m reading off of something. ### 5/5 — Good and easy to use *2026-03-17* WOuld highly recommend for speech ### 5/5 — Review *2026-02-11, version 2.4.0* Great App ### 5/5 — perfect *2025-09-29* Thank you ### 5/5 — Good app for the most part *2025-08-13* Does what is intended to, but I wish you could pin notes. The constant reorg of notes to the last one edited is crazy annoying ### 5/5 — So great, which we can put text in bold, italic, underline *2025-04-08* Otherwise I love it, and use it for everything ### 5/5 — Sauvé *2025-04-02* Cette application m’a sauvé la vie dans une présentation zoom. Je cherchais à mettre mes notes sur zoom, mais ça ne fonctionnait pas. Alors j’ai trouvé Transparent Notes et je suis sincèrement réellement très satisfaite. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2024-11-24* I love this app so much. It has helped me overcome my anxiety over speaking for interviews, school projects, just about everything. Please don't go away! ### 5/5 — Free Option is Great! *2024-09-16* Exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to simply put a script on top of everything else, but still be able to see what I was doing (YouTube music tutorial). Customizations are nice; I'll buy the full version soon. ### 5/5 — Making my online interactions great *2024-07-29* I'm an online health coach, and having a list of questions for my client without breaking eye contact is very important.. This app makes that very possible.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
