Not free anymore 🙂
I already purched ad free version in past worth ₹456.89. Then now why you charched extra from my account in the name of Premium. It seems like I have been cheated.

give us the handwriting into font features why its only in ios and not android
I want 1 app that doesn't advertise itself as free only to try to force me later into subscribing to some premium version. I am extremely displeased
This was me favourite notes app, now they added subscription even for the number of notes you add. Sad.
not free anymore 😭😞
remove the note limitation please
even the split screen is premium? bye
please make it for full free use
why the hell do you call it free notes if you will force limited use/subscription ?!!! med student here, been using it for a year. WAS the best app now its not shame on u honestly
why do it premium?
It was an excellent, free app until it suddenly became paid, and I can't add anything without a paid subscription. You should change its name; it's not free.
It's no longer free. And limited notebooks do not work anymore
Not Free anymore😡😡😡🤬🤬👎👎
I completely disagree to pay just to take notes, I liked this app because it was easy to use and I wrote all my notes here, but now we need to pay for making new notebooks and the free version now is limited, so now I am disappointed,so don't call your app as a "freenotes" because IS NO LONGER, call your app now as "pay notes" and finally, keep in mind that mostly people that use this app are students.
you started premium I hate this
I really love using freenotes but now with the pay wall, with the limited notes. I am really bumped that I only can add 3 notes left. I really would like y'all to bring back unlimited notes. Please as many of your users(us) would like to continue using this app. From the day I found this app it was heavenly. Please change this. I am addicted to using this app.please. think about us who are college and secondary students who are broke😭😭
Remove the premium features. it was all so likeable and yet when they introduce a paywall it ruins the brand name entirely of it being free.
really!!!!! after all this time you made it all premium. why?????? 😒😒😒. I used to love this app even though I found some problems inside, and literally they made it with subscription 😡😡😡 like uhhhhhh 😒😒😒😒😒
How ironic it is to name an app FREEnotes where you can't write notes for FREE (I have an exam next week and here I am stuck bc I can't afford that much of money right now )
GREEDY IDIOTS LAUNCHED PREMIUM
I have all of my work saved in here and then y'all randomly make it paid bruh
with the new update, it's not "free"notes anymore!!!!!!
not free anymore， want me to subscribe...........
i had paid for this originally and now it's making upgrade for more notes monthly, I had for full time use and unlimited now it asking for upgrade and notes are limited
It had many good features, but it became extremely bad due to the new update, which made everything cost money and required a subscription. It's the worst update ever. It used to be the best app to use on Android. I don't recommend trying it.
used to be good then freenotes became paidnotes
Unbelievable ! Just change the name already... This app used to be awesome when it is free now all of a sudden u want me to pay a subscription??? No wonder why ur ratings dropped so fast.... This is really unbelievable
used to be my favorite note taking app but suddenly I was told to subscribe to the app when I have paid around rm40+ before for ads removal. and when I was told I only can add 3 more notes if I didn't subscribe. even after removing and deleting some notes, the counter of 3 is still there. I understand that you want to improve the app but sudden subscription is a little bit too much especially after deleting some file yet the limit for my notes are only 3 left
This app functions great but its pricing is BS. It has ads, I spent $19.99 to remove them, thinking it would also function as a perpetual license. It doesn't. Despite getting rid of ads, I'm only able to make 3 notes. In order to make more I have to spend another $10 for a subscription. There was no notice of a limit on the notes I could make until after I removed ads. This is deceptive and predatory. Don't buy this app. But GoodNotes and their perpetual license or something similar.
Was good until you decided to go paid for notes. Just another notes app where you need to pay.
i have been using it for like a year now first it was all free nothing to sell no ads, then they added ads It was fine still but now they have added a limit to the number of notes you can create like what.
Wonderful app for both android and ios. I have been using it for a while now and thr features are very well implemented. Unfortunately, freenotes is no more 'free'. So, wouldn't suggest to use unless you are ready to pay for the subscription, which if you have to, there are many more premium apps as alternatives.
I have not used is properly I want something for test making and this type of but I didn't knew that it is only for notes but it is good for notes if you are using it for notes that's really good choice I will use it properly and then suggest something but it is good👍👌🫠
