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).

I want to like this app, but I can't see the text well enough to get that far. Will be asking Apple for a refund.

Notes were synced from the Mac, can create a new notes, but editing existing ones rolls back to the previous state. Also rolled back many of them to the state around two weeks before. Tried to enable/disable git but doesn’t help. Existing notes rolls back after edit in 15-30 seconds or after reload app all time.
