★★★★ Another Human 6/22/2026 v9.18.10
If it won't sync it's useless. In fact it seems to have DELETED a note (with an image) I put on the phone, which is EXTREMELY bad. (Note: both problems seem to have happened just before necessarily updating the Android version). At least Obs will keep the note. Also the number of pinned on the desktop and the app are different.

The app is quite nice, but when you want to sign in on the phone so that you can synchronize it to your computer. It has this stupid bootloader error, which is not a problem with any other app. And it's not worth taking the security risks to do this and mess about and possibly mess up the phone. So unfortunately I'm going to delete the app which is totally stupid from the developers of this to make it such a stupid synchronizing and stupid security system.

★★★★ calmindaura 5/24/2026 v9.18.8
I purchased the lifetime premium, and overall it’s a great app for taking day-to-day notes on the go. The UI is modern and polished, the app feels fast and responsive, and the core functionality works really well. Support also reliable. However, I’m giving 3 stars mainly due to the lack of end-to-end encryption. While I don’t question the developers’ intentions, in today’s digital world, data risks always exist-whether from breaches or external access. Having E2EE would provide peace of mind.
★★★★ Muna war 5/23/2026 v9.18.8
not for my purpose
★★★★ Chit Htoo Maung 5/22/2026 v9.18.8
It wont work if your device is rooted.
★★★★ DJ “미하이” 5/17/2026 v9.18.6
왜 갤럭시 태블릿 울트라 모델에서는 지원하지않나요??
★★★★ Rodney William 5/14/2026 v9.18.6
I have no clue why a notesapp company thinks it has any right to decide whether or not my phone is rooted. But fair enough, I'll just go elsewhere.
★★★★ Simon Taylor 5/12/2026
A no go.
★★★★ Adam Keys 5/10/2026 v9.18.5
[EDIT] Over a year later and still no support for drawing on Android. Dropped the rest of the stars. Lazy development... [Original Review]: Possibly the best muti platform notes app on the market and pretty much the only one with a lifetime license option. However, it loses two whole stars for not having drawing features on Android despite them being available on iOS and iPadOS making it far less useful for Galaxy Ultra/Note users and Android tablet users. Devs please Google "Android Ink API".
★★★★ B9 M3 5/8/2026 v9.18.5
Constant crashes. Cleared cache, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. No resolution. I paid for the app but can't use it. I'll update this review if the situation improves.
★★★★ Nate A 5/8/2026 v9.18.5
I'm using a Rog phone 9 pro. The app won't even load. I open it and it's stuck on the U icon symbol and won't even open. I unfortunately can't give any more stars than 1.
★★★★ Geoff Phillips 4/26/2026
Cant even move an image after inserting it. Long press fails.
★★★★★ AbAziz 5/28/2026 v9.18.9
This is my favorite note-taking app, but I've been emailing you for a year about RTL language support, and nothing's happened yet. I really want to buy a lifetime license for this app.
