User Reviews

The app is highly valued for its strong privacy, ad-free experience, and clean, simple UI that suits private notes and journaling. Users also appreciate voice notes. Some repeatedly note missing or flaky media support (images/videos/audio from Gallery). Feature requests and encryption concerns appear, but overall the sentiment is positive with room for media-related bug fixes and enhancements.
Pros
  • Privacy-focused with no data collection
  • Ad-free experience (no ads)
  • Clean, simple, minimalistic, and intuitive UI
  • Well-suited for private notes and journaling
  • Voice notes support adds convenient input
Cons
  • Inconsistent media insertion support (images, videos, audio) and missing Gallery options
