★★★★ Brian 5/30/2026 v3.7.0.3983
Joke. First 2 screens ask for unnecessary permissions for a simple note app. 3rd screen is a subscription screen. If you get by that without subscribing all the themes are locked. Last but not least 5 minutes into testing the app they ask for a rating. uninstall
★★★★ RENEE W 5/28/2026 v3.4.0.3772
it's not free 🤨
★★★★ amanda thompson 5/25/2026
Constant popup advertisements. After installing the app I was immediately prompted to choose a payment plan, which I'm not going to do. There are tons of free note taking and task apps. I assume because I didn't sign up for a paid plan, I immediately saw one popup ad after another. I finally gave up even trying to learn how to navigate the app and see it's features because it's a waste of time.

★★★★ Macha nani 4/18/2026 v3.6.2.3913
unable to draw
★★★★ Stan Silverman 4/14/2026 v3.6.2.3913
After making a new note twice, and pressing the SAVE icon, the only note displayed is the example that the app starts with. Before mentioning the rating I might give to an app that deals with both personal information (This is a note app, where security is a minimum, not a game or something inconsequential) and 3rd parties who might get access to my data; A note app that doesn't save notes is useless, add in the 3rd parties and its harmful. The potential features were a draw, just do it right.
★★★★ MarioLover1018 4/13/2026 v3.6.2.3913
I used to love this app, it never used to have ads before, now they are LOADED with them! they're loud, obnoxious, and drive me crazy! I hate the fact that you have to pay in order to get rid of them. I would've gotten rid of it and looked for a new one, but all the ones I have tried either also have ads or are just too confusing to figure out as they mess with your entire home screen.
★★★★ Stephen Price 4/3/2026
I tried the app but had to remove it because of the adds. I found it extremely annoying!!!
★★★★ Aida R. Díaz-Torres (Pepa's Mom) 3/28/2026
