User Reviews

FairNote is praised for its simple, privacy-focused approach with encryption and local storage, plus straightforward note-taking and backup options. However, its recurring issues include data loss after updates, lack of basic text formatting, cumbersome backup/restore processes, and occasional crashes or reliability problems. Widget behavior and advanced features are limited, and some functionality (like archiving) can be problematic. Overall, it’s valued for privacy and simplicity but suffers from stability and feature-gap concerns.
Pros
  • Simple, lightweight, and easy-to-use interface.
  • Encryption and privacy with locally stored notes.
  • Backup support and basic export/import capabilities.
  • General note-taking functionality that covers everyday needs.
Cons
  • Notes can disappear or be lost after updates due to bugs.
  • Missing rich text formatting features (bold, italic, underline) and text highlighting.
  • Backup/restore workflow is cumbersome and can be unreliable.
  • Crashes and other reliability issues (including archiving/access problems).

It deletes the updated version without any notifications, checks or retries if there is any problem while encrypting

One of my favorite apps. Has easy access, nice layout. Short and sweet. Works well with Android 16.
