User Reviews

User reviews focus on a subscription-driven model that blocks basic use and data export behind paywalls, with many calling the free version effectively unusable. There are a few positive notes about Flow’s feature richness and UI, and some appreciation for ongoing updates. The dominant pain points are pricing, account creation friction, and data portability, with occasional bugs affecting usability.

Pros

Rich feature set with Flow 4 improvements
Beautiful UI/UX design and polished interface
Positive sentiment about note-taking and brainstorming capabilities

Cons

Free-to-download but requires a paid subscription or account to use, seen as misleading
Inability to export or move existing notes without paying; data portability locked behind paywall
Preference for a one-time purchase; pricing model criticized
Mandatory sign-up/onboarding friction before use
Occasional bugs and performance issues (strokes disappearing, rendering glitches)

Recent reviews

I like your app, but the GUI freezes randomly and the full screen implementation is frustrating because it actually does not turn off the icons/buttons across the top as you’re writing and drawing. In terms of design and layout, it’s a breath of fresh air aesthetically in a very crowded space, truly unique. However, I will have to unsubscribe and remove from my device today after a month of use due to the issues mentioned above.
