### 3/5 — Needs

*2024-10-10*

I need for the clock & battery percentage to be visible

### 1/5 — データが全部消えた

*2022-05-18, version 5.0*

使い始めから色分けのフォルダを増やそうとするとアプリが落ちるので増やさず使っていたのだが、フェイバリットの項目で振り分けてみようとしたらアプリがまたシャットダウンし、次に開いたら資料のサムネが表示されず、もう一度再起動したら全てのデータが消えた。

前のUPADでも一度全消えしていて今回新しいVが出てレビューも良い。喜んで購入して使い、多少の事には目を瞑ってきたがもう二度と使わないし、新しくアプリが出ても買いません。
結局なんの進歩もしてませんでしたね。

買わない方が良いです。

### 4/5 — 유용한 앱입니다.

*2021-12-27*

오랜기간 제품을 사용하면서 때로는 모든 일정이 갑작스레 날아가버린 상황을 겪으면서 원망도 했던 제품입니다.
이후,  업그레이드가 진행중이면서 이러한 문제점이 해결되었기를 바라는 마음으로 현재까지 사용을 해오고 있습니다.

현재 사용하는 앱중에
굿노트, 노빌리티 제품까지 동시에 사용을 하고 있습니다.
해당제품을 비롯하여 각각의 장단점이 있다보니
함께 사용을 하게되네요

그런데 업데이트가 없는게 아쉽기만 합니다
아마 경쟁앱의 장점을 포함된 업데이트를 한다면 분명 인기가 높아질텐데요
아직은 없는 것 같아서 앞으로의 새로운 기능의 업데이트를 기대해 봅니다

해당 제품은 사용하는데 있어,  다른 타제품  앱의 비해 직관성이 좋습니다.
예를들어 다리어리의 구성으로 월,주간,일정등을 부담없이 만들 수 있어서 좋은 반면이 별도의 추가적인 기능은 없습니다.

동영상을 변환하여 삽입할 수 있도록 한다면 좋을텐데요
이러한 기능은 아직 없습니다
하지만 개발자를 응원합니다.
내년에도 보다 좋은 기능이 있는 앱으로 업데이트가 되었으면 합니다

### 1/5 — 쓰레기에요

*2021-11-20*

굿노트 쓰세요. 필기감?  굿노트랑 똑같아요.  파일에 저장도 안되고,휴지통 복원도 안되고.

### 1/5 — Application pourrie

*2021-09-22, version 5.0*

Trop de bug, source de frustration, passer votre chemin

### 1/5 — Love it, but it’s trash

*2021-09-08*

Love the app…..BUT, files disappear for no reason, randomly, and there is ZERO support. Unless you back up daily you risk losing pages and there is no way to get them back. Use OneNote.

### 4/5 — 怎么打开ppt

*2021-03-03*

upad v 是不是包含iCloud版本的所有功能？如何打开ppt呢求教555555

### 1/5 — Beware - no support and no backup

*2020-12-13*

Having used another UPad app since 2013 I found myself loosing all my iCloud documents. Several attempts made to contact developer without reply. In a desperate effort to retrieve the documents, I paid to upgrade to UpadV. This has made no difference. Avoid this app

### 5/5 — 日本語もいける

*2020-06-12, version 5.0*

### 1/5 — Error

*2020-03-07*
