Review summary

Users praise Justnote for its simplicity, intuitive UI, E2EE encryption, ad-free experience, and reliable basic note-taking. Common complaints include the enforced secret key creation on first use, cursor and typing glitches, limited advanced features, problematic export options, and desire for better theme and font customizations. Overall, it is appreciated as a solid, minimalistic note app with room for improvements in features and usability.

Pros

Simple and intuitive user interface making note-taking easy and uncluttered.
Supports end-to-end encryption, enhancing data privacy and security.
Available free with no ads, offering good basic features without cost.
Accessible everywhere with syncing capabilities, including a web app for desktop access.
Basic note-taking functions are reliable and better than many competitors.

Cons

Mandatory creation of a secret code/key at startup is seen as a barrier for some users.
Cursor issues causing typing problems, especially with certain keyboards like Grammarly.
Lack of some features such as immediate syncing, backlinks, collapsible sections, and advanced formatting options.
Export features, such as exporting notes to PDF or importing/exporting notes between apps, are either missing or not working properly.
Dark mode options, Material You theming, and font customization options are limited or lacking.

2024-10-13	Ro*****	Does w/ simplicity & clarity what many note-taking apps make unnecessarily complex. Intuitive UI, real formatting toolbar w/ text & highlight colors, plus E2EE — all free. $5/yr adds reasonable bonus features, like tags & customization. Unfortunately, tags aren't #inline, there's no backlinks or collapsible sections, syncing isn’t instantaneous, & desktop access is webapp only. Also, “new folder” is buried in Settings. But it does the basic better than most & is a great deal for the price.

2024-06-24	Jy*****	Can you give options to add any file? Mostly for doc files(txt, pdf, doc, excell, ppt) and audio files. Picture format takes too much memory everywhere. Pictures can be stored in any cloud storage or HDD/SSD. Docs are more relevant to notes and easy to print.

2024-04-03	Sh*****	Ooh .. may have found the app I've been waiting for.. 😍 ?!? it's simple, easy to use, text editor is great, and it's not cluttered with so many options.. why not 5 stars? It would be great if I can sort the list a-z, simple view with list titles only, (without the 1st line of body text), customise font default settings (i.e. size, etc), ability to lock a folder instead of just a note.

2024-01-05	na*****	Even placing secret key as provided, the app not moving further. Today also same features. "someone mystery ceiling luxury language device street mule tonight nation siege risk nation silver taxi rain enable filter plug lab renew need alarm tired." It is hanging at this stage with "get you secret key". Not moving further. 😉 No internet issue. How other Note app working fast after installed. Problem in your app only. Thus gote 3 ratings that too may be added by self.

2023-08-23	Di*****	Everytime i type, after a few words the cursor automatically appears before the last letter and thus i can't type correctly. Even if i press del it removes the letters in the middle so that's messed up the note.
