Features & Capabilities

Color Notes is a lightweight, cloud-based notebook designed for quick notes and on-the-go to-dos. Create, delete, and edit notes with color options, just like a traditional sticky note, but stored in the cloud for access across devices.

This US-based tool features a clean, simple interface that aims to replace bloated note-taking apps with fast capture, color coding, and cross-device syncing.

User Reviews

Users repeatedly report Color Notes as a once-useful, free note app that currently suffers from severe reliability issues. The most common complaints center on data loss after updates, inability to restore backups or access archived notes, and persistent failures to save new notes. Cross-device syncing is unreliable, with edits not appearing on other devices and login/archiving problems. Some UI/UX issues worsen usability, including a cluttered editing screen and keyboard blocking view on iPad. Intrusive ads in the free version and weak or unavailable support compound frustration.
Pros
  • Very versatile and useful, and remains free to use.
  • Copy-paste from Drive works well.
  • Generally enjoyable to use.
  • Some updates have improved functionality (latest update noted as working).
Cons
  • Notes disappear or become unrecoverable after updates; backups/archived notes often not recoverable.
  • Unreliable cross-device syncing; edits not syncing between devices; archived notes missing; login issues.
  • Saving new notes often fails or does not save after starting Color Notes.
  • UI/UX issues such as a cluttered editing screen with formatting options and editing/view problems on iPad.
  • Intrusive ads in the free version and lack of accessible support for lost notes.

New to the app….copy and paste from Drive was good. Made some changes to the color of the text…didn’t take, attempted to apply back ground color the screen froze. Closed the app with reopen the note was there - no background or font color. Will try using it for at least a month -we’ll seei

My widlfe's iphone was stolen. We had used this app for ten years. Now we cannot restore it in any shape or form. Even paid on my wife's phone to the paid version, because it said dedicated support, but we cannot find any support. We'd love to find our archived notes. Could you please help? Thank you

I used to love this. I’ve used it for years and for many things. But with the last update, it changed. Now when I go into an existing note to edit it, the keyboard pops up as well as a bunch of options for text formatting options. With the keyboard and ALL formatting option shown, there is no room left to see the note I’m trying to edit. So if I want to delete something, I can’t see how far to backspace to delete it. It’s just ridiculous and useless! Bye-bye Color Notes.
