Review summary

Users praise UpNote for its simple, intuitive UI, strong organizational features with folders and notebooks, reliable cross-device syncing, and the option for a lifetime purchase. Many see it as a lean, effective Evernote alternative. However, a subset of users reports reliability hiccups, such as loading screens or notes not saving after switching devices. Pricing concerns also surface, particularly around free-tier limits and the desire for clearer, more flexible access. Overall, UpNote is highly regarded for organization, speed, and cross-platform use, with some reliability and pricing caveats.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive UI
Strong folder-based organization (notebooks, subfolders, photo folder structure)
Cross-device syncing and cloud storage (works across PC and Android)
Lifetime/one-time purchase value
Evernote-like but lean with a robust feature set

Cons

Reliability issues reported by some users (loading screens, notes not saving after switching devices)
Pricing and free-tier limitations / desire for clearer, more flexible access

2026-07-27	ab*****	Really more of a 4.5 star rating! I have AUDHD—note-taking, lists, etc are VERY necessary for me. I like customization without overstimulation and this app is that exactly. And it's cross-platform! The syncing has worked beautifully for me and is almost instant. I also use the free version rn and it's great, so mad respect for that! $ rn is…welp. The .5 off is only because there's some small things that I'd like integrated that can be an inconvenience sometimes. Overall, a lifesaver! THANK YOU!

2026-07-27	Pr*****	The most stable and clean UI with no non-sense features. There are still features I'd like to have here, like true full screen or immersive mode, etc.

2026-07-27	Sp*****	это приложение было идеально для меня: мгновенная синхронизация, оптимальный не перегруженный дизайн, отличная оптимизация, подсчет слов и прочее. НО ЛИМИТ В 50 БЕСПЛАТНЫХ ЗАМЕТОК ЭТО ПРЕДАТЕЛЬСТВО. у меня нет возможности оплатить подписку. и что мне делать? копировать все в одну и удалять? опять искать новое приложение для заметок? это очень обидно

2026-07-26	As*****	The best note-taking app on existence. This is the definition of a note-taking app. The set of features are perfectly balanced — not too less, not too much. I love that this is one of the few good notes app that does not have AI bloat. The lifetime plan is great value for money. Overall, a very balanced, smooth, and well made note-taking app for 99% of users (it lacks a few features by design, which is crucial)

2026-07-25	Lu*****	It's a wonderfully designed app, the best one for long-form notes. I love the un-collapsed sidebar that remembers. There's a font size problem. The maximum font size UpNote allows is smaller than what I have in some Gmail emails by default. To get a bigger font I'm forced to increase the font size across the whole system.
