User Reviews

Users appreciate Standard Notes for its strong security, privacy, and seamless syncing across devices, praising its simple and effective note-taking functionality and supportive customer service. However, common complaints focus on poor mobile text editing experience, frequent crashes, problematic import processes, paywalls on previously free features, and ineffective Android sharing options. The app is well-regarded for encryption and basic note management, but users find usability and stability issues that diminish the experience, especially on mobile platforms.

Cons

Text selection and editing on mobile is frustrating and often difficult to use accurately.
The app frequently crashes or becomes unresponsive, causing loss of progress and user frustration.
Some key features like note history are paywalled, leading to concerns about subscription cost and feature gating.
Importing from apps like Google Keep is problematic with errors, duplicates, and missing media.
