Review summary

Quillpad is highly praised for its simple, user-friendly, yet feature-rich design and strong privacy as an open-source alternative to Google Keep, with good Nextcloud synchronization. Users appreciate the ongoing development since forking the original abandoned QuillNote app. Common requests include adding widgets, better search highlighting within notes, encrypted backups, improved export functionality, and wider cloud syncing options. Minor issues noted are occasional crashes during large backups and incorrect note timestamp metadata.

Pros

User-friendly and simple yet feature-rich interface making note-taking easy on mobile devices.
Open-source and ad-free, providing a trustworthy alternative to Google Keep with privacy advantages.
Syncs well with Nextcloud and offers reliable backup options.
Loved by users who appreciate the app's similarity to Google Keep but with better privacy.
Regularly updated and actively maintained after forking from an abandoned project.

Cons

Lacks an in-app widget, which users desire for easier note access.
Backup is not encrypted, raising potential privacy concerns for some users.
Search functionality does not highlight terms within notes, making it harder to locate specific content.
Insufficient export options and limited support for syncing with cloud services other than Nextcloud.
Some bugs with created and modified dates showing incorrect timestamps, and occasional crashes during local backup when notes exceed 250.

2025-01-20	Fa*****	This is the best note taking app among the simple one's. Everything is so user friendly yet feature rich is amazing for Mobile devices. if anyone is desatisfied with your default notes app or Google's keep note just switch to this one. i don't know why there only about 100 reviews. this app needs more attention.

2025-01-09	Re*****	For some reason the created and last modified dates are not right. They are actually saying I'm creating something months ahead of the current date and I don't know how to fix it.

2024-12-30	Ch*****	Loving it, it's like Google keep but without having to worry about my data being harvested by Google. Would love this app even more if it'd have a widget. Hopefully will see this coming in future updates.

2024-10-13	Wa*****	This app is fantastc! I have a feature request; it would be great to be able to link from a note to another note. Also, if tags in notes worked like hyperlinks so you can click the tag from the note to go to the tag collection. Oh, and also if you could create a link in a note to go to the search results page. Many thanks for your work 👍
