User Reviews

DS Note on iOS is praised for its self-hosted local notes, cross-platform use, and potential to replace Evernote/OneNote, plus a generally well-thought design. However, many reviews highlight persistent, long-standing issues: the app is not updated for years; critical bugs cause data loss and corruption; syncing is unreliable and can overwrite newer notes; stability problems include frequent crashes and freezes; and login/authentication problems compound the frustration. Overall, the app offers privacy-focused, offline-capable note storage but demands major fixes before reliable use across devices.

Pros

Cross-platform availability across iPhone, iPad, Android, and desktop Mac.
Notes can be stored locally on the user's Synology (self-hosted) for privacy.
Could serve as a replacement for Evernote/OneNote for some users.
Generally well-designed interface and usability.

Cons

Not updated for years / appears abandoned by the developer.
Critical bugs cause data loss and corruption (notes wiped or overwritten; undo issues).
Unreliable syncing across devices, with overwrites and slow history.
Stability and performance issues (frequent crashes / freezes).
Login/authentication issues (difficulty logging in; repeated prompts).
