Amazing App Extremely Secure
I have really enjoyed using this app. It’s nice and simply. I have put a lot of trust into its security system and everything is going great so far. I hope the company keeps improving the security
••• Need to Remove AI •••
AI makes Note Update Very Difficult - was not without AI How do I remove AI from Secure Notepad? HELP
Great app
I really like the app. I love that it locks the entire app but I wish it would have an option to lock the app as soon as you exit vs having to wait 30sec. It’s great but maybe add 2 more options 1 being immediately and another with a 10sec timer. I want my app to lock right away specially if I’m logging in personal and sensitive information.
Buggy
Not stable when first opened. Have to click on other docs to get the one I want to open. There are other issues
I need your help
I love this app, I have has it for such a long time. But now it won’t recognize my password, keeps saying it’s wrong. What do I do?
Secured
Awesome
WTF
I suddenly find all my notes being held hostage unless I pay $9.99. I searched my email and found my original purchase receipt from 2013 for unlimited use. I tried “restore purchases “ that was mentioned in another review to no avail. So now I’m just out of 13 years of notes? WTF.
Great, but could use more features
I love this notepad. I like to be able to leave my phone unlocked, but I do have some things that are very personal that I want kept private. Fairly priced for the full version. I appreciate it being a one time purchase. I do wish that it had more features like font changes, bullet points, bold text, and the ability to add photos. Otherwise it is perfect.
Pretty Good But
Okay so I like the app it’s great. There’s no lag its password protected and overall great But why do I have to pay for more storage? I read another answer to another review that said the notes are store on the phone itself so why do I have to pay to store more notes on MY PHONE guess I’ll have to find a different app.
Really good!
Works perfectly for notes, Only problem i had was accidentally deleting the app and losing all my notes
Simple Finally
Love it, finally a simple safe notepad. No frills needed.
Ugh
The app didn’t lock
Very honest rating
It's an app that makes sure that no secrets get spoiled to random people. It's an app that ensures the safety of your notes. Besides the 3 note free storage limit, everything about this app is great. The safety measures ensure that nobody but you can see your secrets, and I really like that. also i got hacked and my review turned into some uponboi xyz thing i don't know what that is
Sigh
Only three notes…
Halfway wonderful
The sharing of this app between family as advertised seems to be missing, so attempting to even use the same app on both an iPad and an iPhone means I get to pay twice, clearly unable to perform as advertised - there seems to be no restoration of purchase option in the app to make it happen, so if you want to use this on ONLY ONE of your devices, it’s wonderful - just not as advertised
It’s good
Amazing
Locked out of my notes
I don’t have access to my notes and it says there is a limit to unlock them unless i pay
OK
Quite a useful app but can no longer use New headings. Support non existent !
“Search option” is not good
(Review date- July 28,2025) I am a new user of your app and I just installed to see how it works and my very need did Not get met. I have 100’s of notes that I wanna save to your app and those notes are huge, k mean more than 10,000 words. If I wanna search a word and type it in the search bar, your app will show me the notes containing that word but how am I suppose to find that one word in a 1000 words note ? Please fix this ASAP and I will buy your pro version rightaway. I want all of those words that I am searching to be highlighted and if a note has multiple copies of that word, I want a pointer or something that when I click, it takes me to the next copy of that word I am looking for. Thank you 🙏🏻
Encryption?
This app makes me nervous because I can’t find any information on whether notes are encrypted and whether they use a standard encryption algorithm. By all outward appearances, it could simply be a password-protected notes app with no encryption. Are notes stored in plaintext? Can’t tell.
Great Notepad
Easy to use and very convenient. Love it!
Found a way to bypass the encryption
Indirectly, by accident, I discovered vulnerability that bypasses the encryption passcode/password when opening the app. Connecting it to the new Apple Devices app, initiating an encrypted backup and canceling the backup to PC mid-way. Once reopening the app there is no password prompt and I had direct access to all my notes. And I hadn’t opened this app in over 6 months. I’m not so confident about this app any longer.
Regarding login in
Heyy I forgot the password and even when I see the clue I set for myself, I only partially remember the password. Is there a way I can reset password?
More developers without a brain!
These idiots couldn’t figure out how to add a pic!
Secure notepad
The program is not a bad program. It works pretty well, but there is like three different versions of the secured program. Why can’t you import the data from the non-payable to the full version that you pay for. You should not have to manually re-input the data.
Best
Thank you for this app
Locked out
I can not access my app. Pads does not work no more
Good but you can do other stuff
This is good but you have to pay for more than 3 when on the notes app you can lock them
Secure Notepad
I like the secure notepad, but my issue is it doesn’t cross device syncing. I have a iPhone that I purchased the upgraded app on but whatever I document on the iPhone, the iPad is blank. Because of that I have to give it a low grade.
complaint
first that this app not lockable and any note title never shows for finding the actual notes
Feature Request
I like the app and it’s very good, but I would like native notepad features supported. Especially simple things like a ‘find’ feature, to search for words/letters/phrases in a note.
Lock didn’t work
The lock didn’t work.
I like this app but...
I like this app because I can store all my note that I don’t want in public inside that it is just perfect if you want to store your secret notes. But there is one slight issue. It is just how many notes you can do because I thought you can do unlimited but actually you only can do three and that did upset me but overall it is amazing. (sorry if this makes NO sense :))
Searchable notepad
Good for notes but would be substantially more usable if a search function is added to help search keywords in long notes or documents.
Too expensive for me.
Hard to use. I needed a simple security notepad but maybe this is for people who require more than what is necessary for me. Found what k was looking for but thanks anyway. Cheers
Notepad APP
luv this app on my old iPhone
Don’t forget your password!
If you forget your password on this app there is absolutely no way to reset it and now I can’t even get into my own app
Emma’s review
I think this app is really stress releasing and good because it doesn’t send you notifications every 5 minutes saying you need to use the diary it just lets you do what you want. I also feel because it had a lock on it (you get to set a passcode) I can write whatever I want and let out my feelings. I would defo recommend you download it!
Poor
You have to pay £9.99 to have more than 3notes on here!
Some improvement need
1 - No search bar 2 - Can’t change front size and font style. Find text too small to read 3 - Can’t open links in the app 4 - Can’t change text colour.
Great app
I love this app! I only wish that it had a search function and/or a sorting function. The security of a password makes it a 5 star for me.
Can’t be locked?
Can’t lock the individual note or the app itself. I tried to turn my phone screen off and on again. Still I can open the app with no password lol
Locked out app
Been locked out the app, and unable to reset password for over an year.
Okay but….
This is an okay app and it’s pretty cool. I love the privacy of my notes from everyone else! The security question is messed up and the password never works. Therefore you have to use Touch ID. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Its good but..
This is a really good app since you can write whatever and its really secure, but the thing is that you have to pay money (£3) just so you can make more than 3 notes. other than that its good though.
Awesome app
Nothing to say except this app is great.
Reset
Do not use this app I opened it today and all my notes have been deleted avoid at all costs
Pretty good
People still read my notes I think it could be more secure
Face ID or password not asked even when it’s set up
App opens without any password or Face ID even when they are already set up. Don’t change anything. Kindly support
Storage
You should allow everyone to have as many notes as they want as some people might need loads and for this reason I am deleting the app as I need space for more notes. I hope you improve this as it bugs loads of people off and will in years to come. My whole family also uses it and their are also going to delete it as they need way more than 3 notes. Do you want to miss out and you rivals have more customers? The answer will probs be no- soooo you can make people be able to have more than 3 notes. Making them pay is unnecessary. I hope you consider this.
