1. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   NO LONGER WORKS‼️. After updating to IOS 18 it no longer works! No keyboard! I’ve lost some features over time with updates but not having a keyboard renders it useless. I’m pretty sure the developers don’t care since there is no longer any customer support so I guess it’s time to give up & find a new app for notes😢

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Great until you change phones. This is a great note. I paid the $2.99 for the upgrade and life was dandy until I changed my iphone. Despite iCloud sync, Lost all my notes, lost all my wallpapers. Emailed support, got no response. So if you have no plans of changing phones, sure, go ahead and pay the $2.99. Just know what you are getting into.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Fallen stars. For years this app deserved a 5 star rating, but now it can no longer be said. The app crashes if I attempt to switch between categories of notes. I contacted support at the first of the year, and was told it was being worked on, but in the meantime I could swipe to get to them. Crashes still happen and swiping doesn’t always work so now when I need to jot a note I go elsewhere. ☹️

   Horrible. 2.99 and it freezes during every use, do not waste your money...

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Stop harassing me for a review. Fine, here is your 1 star review. This app is a generic note app. It does nothing special and isn't exceptionally noteworthy. Why the hell do you constantly have to bug me for a review?

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   untrustworthy. Minor complaints: awkward to use on iPad Pro; interface elements large and clunky; too many taps to get to the text of a note; no split screen support Major complaint: I just opened this app a couple weeks after having input a bunch of notes, and now about 95% of my text has completely vanished.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   What went wrong?. I have both: the red and the green. I was advised I would get more sheets and desktops. Well I did until the update and cannot get my settings as the were working before. Now what. I have the red and the green. Only updated the green as I haven't used the red for a while. I believe I paid for the green but didn't get back what I had. Please explain and advise.

   Buyer Beware!!. Do not think that you can place your notes on your Home Screen, because you can't! (Even when you purchase the Full Version). You can place your notes on a SCREENSHOT image of your Home Screen. You still have to open up the abcNotes app to look at your notes. The creator of this app blames Apple's inability to allow him to place notes on the Home Screen. He states (and he is correct): "my texts clearly say: place note IMAGE (screenshot is an image, is not ?)"

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Deceptive Product Description. According to this app's description, we can "Save notes as image and place to lock or home screen." But here's what it should say: You can take a screenshot of your notes, then exit the app to go to your iPad settings to set the screenshot as your lock or home screen wallpaper. Sure, the product's description does specify that notes must be saved as an image. But taking a screenshot and saving it as your wallpaper is NOT abcNotes' feature—it's an iPad feature! The home screen feature is the only reason I purchased this app, but I don't want to have to change my iPad's wallpaper every time I write a note. That's ridiculous. If they would've been more up front in their description of the app, I wouldn't have purchased it. But I guess that's the point, right? I don't remember the last time I felt so ripped off.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Used to great, NOW HORRIBLE. This Notes App "WAS" fantastic, write the Notes, save them, duplicate them and then sync them to another iPad or email all Notes. Use them to improve yourself, remember things,EVERYTHING Cost: $2.99 Value, depending your input: USED TO BE INVALUABLE!!!! With Apple software upgrades the APP ABCNOTES IS "USELESS" BECAUSE the APP will not STAY open for LONGER THAN 3 SECONDS On all Devises!!!! APPLE SAY THE APP DEVELOPERS MUST UPGRADE THE APP.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Best. Very good! I use it all the time. Great job; too bad Apple couldn't come up with something like this.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Charged twice!!!. So it is a good app. That said one star b/c I was charged twice for the same app on my iPhone then again for iPad. Seriously you guys pull your heads out and fix this.

13. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    This new upgrade is not working properly!. All my notes disappeared after installing the new update. The app freezes and would not let me save or delete notes. Also functions in the menu do not respond. Please fix it. It was working just fine before the update.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Update. The new update makes it unable to open or do anything. Major problem since I can't see any of my notes.

15. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Useless.... Crash everytime you open it...

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Misleading. App shows you can have your notes on your lockscreen, however you must save it as a pic then set as your lockscreen wallpaper. Any free note app will do the same thing!

17. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Too slow!!!. I want to like this app, but it opens too slow, even creating a new notes takes me about 10-15 seconds... Please fix this

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Beware. Purchased full version for 2.99 because the description said you could customize background images. Not true. This feature is disabled and the developers confirm that it does not work but do not offer refunds. Must pin notes to tacky stock images. Other aspects of saving multiple notes are glitchy. Will re review if they ever update, but the app has been goofed up for months with no fixes offered.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Improve. This was a nice app when it came out. This company lost interest in improving the app. I would look at other apps instead.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ugh!!!. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to create an actual checklist with this app which is the ONLY reason I bought it! I read through the "hint" that indicates that you simply need to double tap on the note and then tap on the blue tools icon and then tap on the blue checklist box near the slide, but still does not create a checklist. I've done google searches and nada! Seems like a nice app but it shouldn't be this complex to get the app to do a checklist. STILL trying to figure it out!

21. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Not Great!. This app is now very slow and glitchy, after updated iPad 2 to iOS 6 and updated app.

22. ★★★★★support does not respond or resolve the issue

    It use to be one of my favorites. This app use to be one of my favorites but the latest update messed up the sizing of all my notes. Now I have to go back in a resize everything manually. I wonder if app developers bother to test their apps before unleashing it on everyone?! Please fix. ============= Previous comment: Love this app. I use to walk around with post it notes all over the place! Using it to organize my GTD.

23. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Used to be great. Needs a manual sync option.... The iCloud sync takes days if at all...this app used to be my favorite -now it's completely useless-bummer!

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Disappointed. With the last update I can no longer make my notes large enough to read my long lists.

25. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    This used to be a five star. With all your updates I lost all the notes I had!! If I can get them back you will get a five star! I am so mad right now. I had save important information on them!

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not for me. Looked interesting, but using iOS Notes and Reminders is much easier for me. Plus, those offer easy iCloud sync. I've had no luck with this app.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great app, endless review requests. See above

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great app. Like it alot. Very intuitive and well worth the money! Syncing works flawlessly and multi desk tops very useful as you mature with the app. Would Like to see alarm capability in the calendar Capability. Doug

29. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    all good will it crashes & your notes are gone!. 2nd time, crashes, won't let me in to all my notes thst apparently I should have been backing up. First time this happened, I should have learned my lesson- I thought it was a fluke. Nope. Attempt(s) to contact company for "app support" thru the gmail address listed here are fruitless. Backup frequently and don't trust that your notes will be there when you most need to access them! Game over. Tried and lost. Lost a lot. Twice.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hey. I can't get in this app I mean it never works even connecting after current updating So I can't get any memos that ive saved in there This is definitely emergency Please fix it ASAP
