Noted
I like this app. Keep all my reminders intact.
The new ads ruined it
I used to love this app and use it all day every day but now it’s got these new ads with sound that interrupt your background videos - so you have to stop what you are doing and go restart your video then when you get back to the note pad again it does it again!!! And constantly!! repeatedly! I could see if I have closed the app, and then re-opened it, I could deal with that, but I’m writing notes to a teaching on a video and this is freaking maddening that it keeps stopping my video! I have to go find a different note pad. This will not work for me like this. I will check back one day and see if it’s back to normal so I can use it again because I really loved it until this started. I don’t mind ads - but ads with sound is way too much to deal with when you are literally trying to take notes…on a notepad. That’s what it’s for. 🙈😩😭
Did love this app until today
I’ve been using this app for awhile now. Love all the folders options and color coronating is great. But today it won’t open at all ugh. I have meal planner folder, work folder, information folders. I need this app to open. Also the only thing it could use is a print option and to OPEN WHEN I NEED IT TO OPEN. UGH
★広告が唯一の難点
シンプルさだけでなくこれを支援する様々な機能が充実している点が特徴で、アプリのシステム自体は★５です。 ただし、日々の限られた細切れの時間で度々表示される広告が作業の連続性を阻害し、思考を妨げ、広告を消す際の関連操作に無駄な作業を誘発させ、時にはこれらの対応で頭をよぎったアイデアを書き留め損ねる点など、集中している際には腹の底から呪詛を叫びたくなる気持ちは否定できません。 ただ、アプリの設計がとても良いため、１ではなく★２とさせていただきました。
広告が多過ぎる
最近？になって、広告が増えて使いにくくなりました。 このアプリを非表示にしたり、違うアプリ表示したりして戻ると、広告表示されるようになりました。 シンプルで使いやすかったのに残念。
至開發者.
如果能自行拍照將更完美。非常實用.
Not good
Bad! You need to see an ad video every time you try to access.
Great for private journaling
I chose this app for the no share feature . I journal and wouldn’t want to share my thoughts accidentally with a contact from my phone for instance . I like the folder feature to organize my notes and the lock note feature that uses a PIN to read it . I would give 5 stars but adding photos to a note is in a separate window is odd . Also, it would be cool to set different PIN codes instead of 1 universal PIN . A purchase option to go add free would be good too but the adds are too troublesome . And lastly , it would be cool to have a feature where we can makes text bold , italic etc . Thanks .
広告が増えてきました
長年、愛用してましたがどんどん広告が多くなり、ついには飛ばせない全画面広告や、作業用に流している音楽を貫通する音声付き広告…申し訳ありませんが、広告削除されていますプランも月額制で高いですし、さすがに乗り換えます。 それ以外の機能はシンプルかつ無駄がなく便利です。
引き継ぎが…
使い勝手がかなり良く、数年愛用しておりましたが、機種変更をすることになり、今のiPhoneを下取りに出すためにとりあえずiPadで見られればとバックアップをとりました。 しかし、iPadで復元しようとバックアップをタップするとアプリが落ちる…。 かなりの数のメモがあるのですが、これから手動で1個ずつコピペします… これまでずっとお世話になってただけにショックです
I CAN’T USE IT!!! But WHEN I’M 15 ILL DO becuse IT I SUBTRACTED 2 🤮🗑️.
Why is it 17+ it is supossed to be 9+!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
App crashed lost everything
Your app crashed . And I lost everything. Not cool. Using a different app and deleting this one
Alright I guess
Alright u guess
Great Until Latest Update
I love this app and have used it for years. But with the May 8 update, it no longer opens - I tap it, *might* get to see my list of folders briefly, and then it kicks me out completely. Please fix!!!!
バックアップについて
バックアップの容量がメモを増やしてるのに659KBから全く増えなくなりましたが、ちゃんとバックアップできてるのでしょうか？
Super Simple!
Easy to use and dictate to. Thank you!

Simple Notepad BestNote app

Help
What do we do if we forgot our passcode?
Love it buuuut…
Ads… it’s for note taking, why would you put annoying ads in a note app that’s makes zero sense and is very aggravating when you’re going through very organized notes.
めちゃくちゃ使いやすい
開けなくなりました
In love
I downloaded this too keep my notes on and it is 👩🏻🍳😘
Does no work
Vertically unavailable
They aren’t wrong!
This is the best note app. It is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Cute! Simple! Organized! I only have one complaint. I’d like the option to buy it ads free.
Best notes? Howzzat?
Yup. It says iPhone and iPad, so why isn’t it optimized for iPad? I opened Simple Notepad- BestNotes … and there it was, turned on its side, and I closed it up. It would have to be a phenomenol app to get me to turn my iPad on its side in order to read but there are so many well designed apps that fill the same niche that I won’t put up with the irritation. I don’t know why any developer insists on this limitation. It can’t be that hard to make it work- really work- for iPad users. So, I’m off to delete it without ever finding out if it’s something useful for me. Pity, isn’t it?
pay to turn off adds?
i like this app but hate the adds, seems i can't even pay to turn them off?
It’s good😍☺️
I envoy it
Can’t remember my password
Game is great. I use this app for bios on my ocs, but, I have secret AI Stories I wanna put on here, and I don’t remember the password. I feel like you don’t need a password to change the password, but that’s just my opinion.
Backup data!
Can this app have option to backup all your infos to your email?? That will be nice! Thanks!
Word count
I wish you could Write more
Not sure how to upload images
Please help not sure how to upload images to image box
Love it
How can I get back original notes since I upgraded my phone my notes disappeared
the app seemed nice..
the app seemed nice until you realize that there is soooo many ads and no option to purchase the app to not have any:( pls do something
Emailing
Why can I not see the feature/button to send the note via email? There is no settings available.
Not great
Just downloaded it then deleted it it was glitchy and nothing really worked.
Great, but HATE THE ADS !!
This would be excellent if it wasn’t spoiled by ADS !!. I’d pay to get rid of ads, but there is no option for that.
Notes
It’s awesome and easy
Handy but the ads are unbearable.
I like the simplicity of the app. That said, it needs a payment option to get rid of the intrusive ads. In fact, the frequency of the ads is affecting my work. I am now looking for a new app to replace this one.
Plz add
I love the app because it has themes but there should be more... When it comes to my notes and written things, im fairy organized, this app is one of the few apps that lets you have folders within folders which im in love with. Though... one BIG problem I have is not being able to transfer the notes. This app doesnt have accounts so if you damage the device you’re working with, it wont work. It doesnt have the ability to work on a note page on two devices, which is crucial for me... all in all... its a nice app but I probably wont keep it because It doesnt have the required things I need
Need a paid ad-free version
This does exactly what I need, but the ads get in the way of my workflow and there isn’t a way to purchase an ad-free version, as far as I can tell. Two stars for the simplicity and ability to create a hierarchy of folders.
Don’t want ads
I would’ve preferred it if I could pay for this app and not gotten ads all the time.
Fantastic App!
Works great and is VERY easy to use!
I just want a notepad!
I’m too stupid to figure out how to make a simple note to myself on this app!
i love it!
i wish there wasn’t ads but it’s over all a great personal app!
Instructions and Orientation
The app seems OK. I like the folders / color options. I use a keyboard and would like to change the screen orientation. Instructions would also be nice.
Love it, hate it
I would give this app a 5 star if it didn’t have ads. The ads start at the most inconvenient time and you have to wait on them to finish. When I need my notes, I can’t afford to wait on the advertisements to finish. Also, this app does not allow me to purchase an ad-free version of it. When it allows me to upgrade to an ad-free version, I will gladly give it 5 stars. Until then, here’s to hoping I will get an ad-free version soon. March 22, 2020
