User Reviews

SideNotes Mobile is praised for reliable iCloud sync, Markdown support, keyboard-driven workflows, and a clean, intuitive interface that spans Mac and iOS. Reviewers value the cross-device experience and quick notes. Common requests focus on iOS parity: widgets, better shortcuts support, and broader cloud integrations beyond iCloud.
Pros
  • Reliable iCloud syncing across devices
  • Robust Markdown support in notes
  • Keyboard shortcuts and Apple Shortcuts for fast workflows
  • Intuitive, clean, polished interface
  • Strong cross-device experience between Mac and iPhone/iPad
Cons
  • iOS widgets are missing (a commonly requested feature)
  • Limited cloud options beyond iCloud (no easy way to move notes to other PKM or cloud services)
  • Parity with Mac/desktop features on iOS is incomplete (some desktop features like drag-and-drop or full-screen editing are not yet on iOS)

This tool is a gem that is my second brain for notes. I love the keyboard shortcuts. Love how the developer listens and implements users requests. The next version (beta) is packed with game changing features. Download and try it out!

I probably have subscribed to or otherwise paid for and used 20+ notetaking apps on iOS over the past three years and, without a doubt, this app is the most intuitive for taking notes on an iPhone. The next closest App would be Craft and even then I don’t think craft is that good

I love this app. I would appreciate continued improvements and integration with Windows, as well as for the Apple Watch, including quick widgets for the iPhone and iOS (iPad). This app is doing everything I once relied on Tot for. If you make those integrations, I can recommend you to everyone I know - fyi you would surpass the iOS notes app with that too, just saying
