Review summary

Users praise BlackNote for its simple, clean UI and ease of use, making it suitable for quick notes and grocery lists. However, reviews consistently flag intrusive advertising (bottom banners and full-screen ads) as a major annoyance. Performance concerns appear with large notes, including typing lag and occasional freezes, and there have been reliability issues around backups/restores and crashes after updates. Some users also miss features like a widget and basic formatting options, and a few readability issues (readability due to zoomed-in UI). Overall, it’s a handy lightweight note-taker but hampered by ads and stability/feature gaps.

Pros

Simple, clean UI and ease of use
Useful for quick notes and lists (grocery lists)
Generally reliable basic notepad with straightforward features
Overall positive and appreciated by long-time users

Cons

Intrusive, excessive ads including bottom banner and full-screen ads
Typing performance issues and lag with large notes; freezing or unresponsiveness
Crashes and reliability problems around backups/restores and after updates
Missing widget support and lack of formatting options; readability issues due to zoomed-in UI

2026-06-07	na*****	Used to be best, but ads became so intrusive they appear literally every minute. Editing note - ad. Searching anything in note or among notes - ad. Deleting notes - ad every two notes. The app is light and simple, but ads are insufferable. And I see this trend everywhere - shoving ads in most infuriating moments.

2026-06-05	62*****	Years back, it was peaceful. Now? Riddled with ads. Ads when you navigate, & ads on the same page you view your notes. From smaller, to BIGGER. Before, it was annoying pictures, now it's full on videos. It also disturbs me because 1: I can't FOCUS With moving ads while I'm trying to READ, & 2: I have it on dark mode, so this bright ad taking half the page pisses me off. I'm reaching my breaking point, & may actually go back to HANDWRITING. For goodness sake, REMOVE THE ADS! IT'S A NOTEBOOK!
