How much does Notesnook cost?
Notesnook has several in-app purchases/subscriptions, the average in-app price is 87.96 $.
Just because the app says a note is “saved” does not mean it has saved. On numerous occasions you will close the note, come back and find that those changes were not saved.
Also, the saving time if you add images added is inexcusable. There is zero good explanation for this. It doesn’t matter if you’re not syncing, this isn’t an upload issue. It seems like the app is deliberately throttling the save speed.
Otherwise, generally a very buggy experience, images just generally unusable, copy and pasting is inconvenient.
Hopefully this will be eventually fixed.
Jankie Amateur Mess
Open source is no excuse for the state of this app. I’d be sympathetic if they weren’t trying to profit off of it.
If this was an assessment task it’d be a low pass at best.
Why 2 different prices?
If I subscribe on my iPhone it’s shown as $73.99 a year. But, if I subscribe on my Mac it’s $88.20 a year!
Notesnook headed toward replacing Apple Notes
The good - this app is full featured. So much to like about it. Note revisions is a must and Notesnook has this. The best part, fully encrypted, even at rest. Make self-hosting an option and it will check all the boxes.
The mobile app interface is a little bit clunky and there have been minor sync issues. Overall, I’m happy to be using Notesnook. Self-hosting gets it 5 stars.
Doesn’t sync
Tried a subscription because I liked it via web, but the iOS app won’t reliably sync at all. Pity, otherwise it’s a good notes service.
Great note taking app - takes privacy seriously
I’ve been an Evernote user for over a decade, but didn’t like how they were changing the app, and concerned about note privacy. I started looking about a year or so ago for another app and tried Notesnook.
It has a great text editor, and worked well between my phone, iPad, and Windows PC. After testing for a few months I decided to start migrating some of my Evernote notes to it and that went pretty well.
Ultimately I moved over 18,000 notes over and have cancelled my EN subscription.
The app syncs very quickly, has a clean and crisp UI. No lag at all. I wish the search was better, but I understand that search improvements are on the way. But even without that, it is a great app, and best of all, my data is fully encrypted.
Highly recommended.
Great alternative to Evernote
I’ve looked far and wide for an Evernote alternative that has a similar feel. Notesnook does the trick and I’m quite happy to be switching over.
Apple Watch companion app
there is a trending habit where people want to decrease their phone screen time and dependency on phone in general. it would be essential to have Notesnook apple watch app so when phone is not around, important favorited notes be accessible on the watch. Or better jot down an important idea when phone is not around. That would make life so much more efficient without needing the phone.
Locked notes?
Update after v3 bug fixes may29: the bug preventing me from opening locked notes has been fixed. Also, since v3 I have had next to zero sync problems while using NN on iOS android and windows. OG review: Locked notes will not open after successful biometric verification. I get taken back to main notes screen after trying to open locked notes. Unlocked not open just fine.
Features won’t work
New user. Fresh download. Over the course of three days I have made multiple attempts to verify my email address to sync data, and I never receive the confirmation link. I’ve also tried changing my email address, and I get a text message to verify the code, but there is nowhere on the app to enter it.
