User Reviews

FSNotes on iOS is appealing for users who want local, plain-text notes without a subscription, and it can be strong when stable. However, multiple reviews report startup crashes, slow initial launches due to iCloud syncing, data rollback/loss after edits, and various bugs affecting editing, sharing, and file handling. Feature gaps and a basic UI further contribute to mixed satisfaction. Overall, stability is the dominant issue across several devices (including iPad) with ongoing quality concerns.

Pros

No subscription required; notes stored as plain text locally rather than in a database.
App is strong and useful when it runs smoothly, offering functionality that compares favorably to paid alternatives.
Local/plain-text notes support can appeal to users who prefer offline access.

Cons

Frequent crashes on startup and a crashy launch experience, including iPad-specific issues after updates.
Slow launch times (5–10 seconds) likely due to iCloud syncing.
Data integrity problems: edits can revert to earlier states, and there are reports of notes disappearing after updates.
Bugs and instability during usage (paste large MD content, repeated share actions) and some core actions like deleting from trash not working.
Feature and UI gaps (no accent color or theme customization, limited open/file modes, basic sidebar, missing export/share options).

Recent reviews

Would it be possible to add an option for the user to select the app accent color? As well as create our own syntax themes. They could be imported or created within the app Hello, I cloned a git repo that I have used for vimwiki for years. When the repo was cloned into FSNotes, the app does not preserve the folder structure. So I have 1639 folders at the top level. However, if I go into the files app and see the files that the app is using, the folder structure is still there. Would it be possible to fix this? Thanks
