Review summary

MaxNote is praised for its ease of use, strong organization, and rich customization, with support for text, audio, and photo notes and good cross-device syncing. However, several reviews highlight reliability issues around sign-in and backups across devices, plus occasional stability problems. Users appreciate the flexible formatting and ADHD-friendly organization, but some want improved per-note search and encryption in future updates.

Pros

Easy to use with a clean, organized UI.
Rich customization options, including colors, fonts, backgrounds, and color-coded categories.
Supports multiple note formats (text, voice, photos) and long-form content.
Strong organization and intuitive navigation that helps manage notes efficiently.
Cross-device syncing and backups with easy sign-in on new devices.

Cons

Sign-in and backup reliability across devices can fail (being logged out or unable to sign in).
Backup/restore reliability is inconsistent (backup exists but restore may not work).
Occasional stability issues (freezes, crashes, or typing problems after some use).

2026-09-01	Sh*****	like the app a lot, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the "category" of an item, & it is extremely difficult to get the notes to appear in a list if they are different categories. when several categories are selected to view, they still do not display. Screwing around with it for an hour ... need it to be usable quickly. uninstalling.

2026-07-20	Cr*****	Seems like a good app, good enough to replace Google's default. Sadly, it looks like they don't do a lot of updates. I'd suggest a few like better padding/margins around the text. Making the colored bar in the app at the bottom to match the widget. A feature I'd like would be tagging. 🤷🏾 I'm nervous the apps been abandoned so not sure if I should stick with it.

2026-07-18	Dr*****	Great app with a clean interface! However, it really lacks a "Table" or "Tabular format" feature. Adding table support would make organizing notes and data much easier. Hoping the developer adds this in the next update!
