worse, now we need to pay just to import pdf
can't click in the top bar and full of ads without any kind of limit
you said its free
so much for being free
I took the premium version for 1 year & Being a paid user this app donot provide any in app good feature. Eg I have the Samsung pencil Still don't have the switch option to change to eraser within pencil. "Notein" like apps give option for customising the switch. And worst part is Shape recognition is very poor & shape donot fill Color. Really Regret for taking the premium. Don't purchase This. There is better apps like NOTEIn for permanent purchases. I have used many apps. This was worst one
honestly terrible the thing barely works and I don't know why they called it free notes when you have to pay, and also everything I was looking for in this app you need to pay for like seriously
it says FREEnotes , it's not free at all
from 5 stars to 1 star. when did this app became paid? it was so good then. very disappointed
after update its performance are very poor,
The app is fully free and it amazes mee this is such a great app for students 📈📈 Currently it only has 3 notes and we have to pay money wth yall 😒 As it was free I recommend it to my friends now I won't this is bad🙄🙄 I changed 5 star to 1 star if there was zero star I would've given it😒
error of spacing in real-time handwriting beautification please fix it asap, thanks
first of all, the app crashes so much and the optimization is poor, only 3 notes free and the app is called "freenotes" so its kind a joke
that's not free
The actual notepad is decent and can have many folders and pages, However suddenly now I cannot make any more new pages unless I watch ads or pay them. And every time I do anything it sends me an Ad and I just can't have that In meetings. So Unless you pay to get rid of the ads I don't recommend this app.
The app was going on smoothly and was very helpful for my studies till the last updation.The best quality of this app was it's free version with good quality features ,now the paid version is expensive and really worse.
payment was debited but not updated in my profile two time money was deducted but premium membership not enabled
doesn't even deserve a single star..this app is NOT AT ALL FREE..it was free until i updated and now there's just so many adds and you can NOT add unlimited pdfs or notes..
I would not recommend this app at all for taking notes. There's so many things that keep bugging out and it's honestly so frustrating to work with. It's absolutely ridiculous and it keeps trying to download files to turn them into new note books for some reason. Horrible for taking college notes. Please look for something else before getting this app.
Three notes only unless you pay?? You must be joking.
Returning 1 star for the second time because you're greedy asf. The solution was already there with one notebook per ad, that was THE SOLUTION and you decided to downgrade AGAIN by changing it to "reaching the limit". Seriously, do you think people won't uninstall this app with all these stupid decision you're making? GREEDY DEVELOPERS!! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
this isn't a free app anymore
the ads are killing me i literally just press to leave boom ad....i got 4 ads in 1 minutes and 56 seconds
Subscribed but I still have adds?? Embarrassing app.
okay freenotes people i get that you need money and the "free" part in the app name stands for free to create, but can we not be selfish and think about the people who don't have the ability yet to pay for the subscription? people in some countries out there just like me that don't have any pay method to use and if was i got to pay extra money and me as a student i cant afford such prices that are 75% more expensive than the subscription price. please freenotes give us an ads option.
slow app.. writing gets delayed
in the latest version, every move needs premium account 🙂
it was good, it was functional, as a person who has tried every single note app, i really liked it, but then the update came and now it has certain number of files...it was oneof its advantages to be free, but they didn't understand....
