Unbelievably Good

The app is fantastic. Works really well and is blazing fast even with tons of text, tables and other content on a single note. Also the developer is super responsive and updates this app frequently.

Former EverNote user

After having been a user of Evernote for over 10 years, I’ve decided to give up on the platform. It has become extremely expensive for the average user. Found UpNote as a great alternative. I was able to migrate over 1600 notes to the new platform, and I couldn’t be happier.

I right away paid for the full version of UpNote which was only $40 instead of the over $200 that ever note wanted to charge me at my next renewal.

The tagline says it all

It really is beautiful, simple, and easy to use. I switched from Evernote, which has become bloated, complicated and frustrating to use…and expensive.

UpNote is a great product!

Write button is cut off

Just got the app and well…. the write button is cut off. Guess I’ll never find out if the app s any good. Shrug.

Give support for ‘Slide Over window’

Currently the is only supporting multi-window and split screen, but I need ‘Slide Over window’ support for better multitasking management, as I need it for note-taking while watching video on full screen.

에러가 계속 발생합니다.

아이패드에서 사용할 떄 기존에 커맨드 + 딜리트 키를 누르면 한 줄이 지워지는 시스템 단축키를 문제없이 사용하고 있었는데 최근 버전에서는 이 단축키를 쓰면 메모장 자체가 지워지고 있습니다. 너무 불편해요. 빨리 개선해주세요

Fantastic app, getting Pro soon

Absolutely fantastic app! UpNote is incredible in almost every single way — fast, beautifully designed, and super convenient to use. The only thing I feel is missing right now is deeper theme customization. Currently, it’s limited to just choosing an accent color, and it would be awesome to have more control over the overall themes. However, that’s just a minor detail. I am completely in love with the app and will definitely be purchasing the Pro license very soon. Keep up the amazing work!

IOS Issue

Does not work properly when using Apple Stage Manager.

Best Evernote alternative

Evernote gone bad and alternatives I tried are too complex or too different from Evernote.
This is exactly like good old Evernote.

Great App, but Notebook Sharing Is Missing

UpNote is an excellent, clean, and reliable note-taking app with great organization and cross-platform syncing. However, it is missing one important feature: the ability to share an entire notebook with other UpNote users. I have a recipe notebook that I would like to share with my family, but currently I must share every recipe individually. Please add notebook sharing, ideally with read-only and editing permissions. This would make an already great app much more useful for families and teams.

勉強中閲覧モードで使っていると突然強制的にページの先頭(時に末尾)に移動してしまい、読んでいたところに戻るのに苦労する
上記は編集モードでも起きることがわかった。

Much better than Evernote

Bye, Evernote. I won’t miss you at all

All pictures in notes are missing

UpNote was my go-to app for note taking but when I went to review my notes literally every image I’ve ever dragged and dropped in a note is completely gone and just showing a box with a question mark? Not even sure how that happens but hopefully someone looks into this and notes are able to be restored.

Ideal replacement for Evernote … unless

I have been a user of Evernote since 2009. Over those years, I loved it and stored all kinds of recipes, web clippings and other vital information in it. I tried to move to OneNote. But it was clunky and unintuitive. I started using Apple Notes cause it was faster to open and put in simple info. A couple years ago Evernote doubled their price. I looked for new options. But nothing was close. So I endure that first doubling of price. But then they did it again. So I tried OneNote, Apple Notes, Obsidian, NotesNook and various other options. None could import my old notes from Evernote acceptably. Almost all crashed while importing my (large note library), over 4000 notes. Apple notes crashed and performed poorly. OneNote couldn’t do the import. And even after working through the hiccups. Its import sucked and looked terrible. NotesNook crashed trying to import them. And Obsidian was just more than I bargained for. I also tried Joplin, which did import them, but constantly reported errors on syncing and importing. The last one I found was UpNote. It imported everything perfectly, and is much more responsive and user friendly than Evernote ever was. I’ve been using it now for over 6 months and can say, it has been an amazing replacement for Evernote. It loads faster, it’s easier to use and it allows you to pin notes to individual notebooks, or to the main notebook listing. I find myself using it more regularly than Evernote, because it’s faster to open. Quicker to organize and the search is better. Granted, it doesn’t have the breadth of features Evernote has. But I didn’t use most of those anyway. I find it more robust than Apple Notes, and far faster than Evernote!! I’ve been loving it and likely won’t switch again until they raise their price to the point it’s unaffordable. I would highly recommend using this app for all your note taking needs!!!

Best notes app

Keep up good work

Great app, but syncing needs improvement

The app is simple, clean, and easy to use. However, the lack of reliable syncing between the desktop and mobile versions is a major drawback. Notes made on one device don’t consistently appear on the other. Please improve the cross-device sync, it would make this app much more useful.

The most amazing app for notes 😊

I’ve tried a lot of note‑taking apps. I switched from Bear to upNote. upNote has features that are important and convenient for me that aren’t available in Bear. But I really wish upNote would include the ability to draw Mermin diagrams. Thank you for such a wonderful app! I hope more useful features will be added!

Great app except app login requirement

I’ve used this app across multiple devices for a while now after migrating from Evernote and it’s been great overall.
The only really annoying thing I wish they’d fix is having to re-log back in every time you come off or minimize the app on mobile devices, this is very frustrating as I often switch to other apps to look stuff up a copy and paste while I am using UpNote.
