User reviews

LinkedNotes was once a simple, user-friendly Chrome extension praised for its easy note-taking features. However, many users now report that synchronization with Google services has ceased, making it largely unusable. The extension seems abandoned, lacking updates or fixes, causing frustration with note insertion issues and frequent redirections to Google Bookmarks. While it had a clean interface and was widely appreciated, the current state renders it unreliable for note management and syncing.
Pros
  • Simple and easy to use with one-click note-taking.
  • Was a great and useful extension when functioning properly.
  • Clean and practical interface appreciated by users.
Cons
  • Synchronization with Google services no longer works or is broken.
  • Extension appears abandoned by the developer, causing discontinued support.
  • Issues with inserting notes in certain Google environments like Creator Studio.
  • Frequently redirects to Google Bookmarks in confusion, interrupting workflow.
  • Random errors and failures leading to loss of notes or data syncing.

куда все заметки пропали?! и так-то было "недо-заметки" - не вставлялось из заметок, а тут вообще удалилось...

Было нормально, но гугл закрывает сервис, с которым эти заметки синхронизировались. Полезность расширения уменьшится на порядок. Будем искать замену.

简单清爽实用,只是同步出问题了,遗憾
