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

2026-06-27	Ye*****	I don't appreciate there being ads all of a sudden. I have used this app for years, I would pay a one time $5 for lifetime no ads but there's no option so downrate it is.

2026-06-07	Pr*****	Thanks you developers for re-work on This app that was not compatible with Microsoft swiftkey keyboard which does not allow for uses of the keyboard's arrow key and space bar for navigations within typing passages or text. BUT now it's OK 👍

2026-06-04	Ra*****	Too much copy paste, selection, cursor movements glitches since last two months. I switched to a simple text/code editor that is more reliable for now. Message to the developers of this app: are you aware of the problem is it my phone on oneui 8.5 android 16 that is causing the issues previously wtitten? Can I provide you data/log/whatever to fix it, or an existing workaround? Thanks
