Review summary

Users like Fast Notepad for easy note taking and features like dictation with auto-save, but the app is plagued by pervasive ads and monetization friction. Many reviews call the ads intrusive and note there is no clear paid option to remove them. Core gaps include backup/sync/export capabilities, occasional instability, and privacy concerns about ad access to notes. Overall sentiment is mixed: solid basics but problematic advertising and data-management shortcomings.

Pros

Easy and convenient to use
Dictation works well with auto-save
Strong overall notepad experience (positive sentiments like 'excellent', 'great app')
Simple, straightforward interface

Cons

Intrusive ads that disrupt note taking (including full-screen ads)
No straightforward paid option to remove ads
Lack of backup/sync/cloud export features (no cloud backup, can't export to .txt)
Instability: crashes or white-screen on open and other reliability issues
Privacy concerns about ads potentially reading notes

2026-08-03	Ra*****	Annoying ads you cannot remove! This app used to be great with extremely minimal ads... I get they need to make money but the ads are too much now. That is not even my issue at all... The issue is that they do not have a pro version of the app where you pay to remove the ads! Add it! Please!
