User reviews

Excellent alternative to Evernote!

After being a longtime customer to Evernote for over a decade, I’m needing to switch due to very exorbitant price hike, ChatGPT identified UpNote as the top choice for me among other apps to switch to. All of my thousands of notes transferred very easily, and I am enjoying very much the simplicity, elegance, functionality of this wonderful app! I had a question about transfer and wrote a note to the developer and received a reply within two days! After playing around with it for a couple days, I didn’t hesitate to pay the unbelievable one time lifetime fee to ensure access to all of the premium features an absolutely amazing and thrifty investment. I would highly recommend this app!

Poor syncing

I'm trying this out to see if it's any better than OneNote at syncing between devices. Unfortunately, it's not. I'm out on the road and it won't sync with the notes I took on my home computer, so they are lost to me until I get home.

ちょうど良さそう

Evernote → Notion → Obsidian とメモアプリを渡り歩いて来ました。Notion 、Obsidian は多機能で無料ですごいけど、自分にはそんなに機能いらないみたい…
慣れようと思って頑張ったけど、なんかアプリに使われているみたいで、ただ何でも気軽に突っ込めて、少し整理できるメモを探してる自分にはどうもあいませんでした。
YouTubeで使い方とか見ても、みんな早口で流暢すぎて、逆に何言ってるかよくわからないし。
NotionはUIがオシャレで今風だから「Notion使ってる俺」感がでて嬉しかったんだけどね。合わないもんは合わないね。

Evernoteが一番良かったのになーと思っていたら、たまたまUpNoteを見つけて、調べてみたらなんかすごく良さそう。
今、PC ipad Android に入れましたが、すぐに同期されて、直感的に使えて、あの懐かしい感じが戻って来た気がして、すごく嬉しい気分。
画像も簡単に貼り付けられるし、変な癖もない。作り手が「よくわかってる」感じがする。これだよ欲しかったのは。

ひとつEvernoteもNotionもObsidianもタップしたくなる個性的なアイコンなんだけど、UpNoteはアイコンがなんだか事務的で残念。
なんとかならないかなー。
中身が最高だからいいけどね。
