## Review summary

Users praise Lock Your Notes for secure, password-protected note storage and its long-standing reliability. However, repeated issues cluster around missing search and delete capabilities, password recovery lack, and post-update stability problems (including iOS 16 glitches). A common request is data export/backup and sharing options to improve data portability.

### Pros

- Password-protected notes provide security for sensitive information.
- Long-standing, reliable app used by users for years.
- Useful for storing passwords and other sensitive data within notes.
- Positive sentiment from long-time users who value having a dedicated note storage app.

### Cons

- Search functionality has disappeared after updates, making notes hard to locate.
- No option to delete individual notes or clear outdated entries.
- Forgot password or pattern cannot be reset; little to no support for recovery.
- Stability issues after updates, including crashes, the app not opening, and iOS 16-related scrolling/search glitches.
- Lacks data export/backup and sharing features (no export to flash drive, no print, no share).
