GNotes - Note, Notepad & Memo

Tess Taylor

Similar to other reviewers, I loved this (formerly FREE) app in the past and, as a Google user in most areas of my life, it was great having everything synced to the same account. Now as of this month it stopped letting me sync my notes tho. Now no better then a standalone notepad, you'd lose everything if you lose/break your phone, which defeats the purpose of the app. From reading other reviews I've concluded it's bc they changed the app subscription "rules", but w/I telling us...

It's an alright app if lacking in some areas. Was looking for a replacement to the LG QuickMemo software and heard a good few suggestions for this. You can make 'folders' through the tag feature, bulleted lists, save photo, and its compatable with my phone font. BUT its lacking some important features. I can't lock notes, nor can I colorcode them, which I feel are two huge drawbacks. And on a more personal note I wish I was able to pick a lined paper option, and folders/tags having icons options

I have collected a large file of my documents with photos that I took and saved on GNotes but for some reason GNotes doubled and multiplied same note while I was adding changes. now its a mess in my notes. I can see my pics on my phone device. I do see them online but not on device. I have paid for full version thinking that the problem would upgrade and go away but the problem is till there. I can't transfer my data to different notes applications. I don't recommend GNotes. OneNote is better

Altogether its ok. I'm on a yearly subscription upgrade plan which gives you synching ability (and it does work) however, I continue to get a reminder message to upgrade in order to make use of synching and when I try to use a different theme I get a message that I need to upgrade to the yearly plan (in this situation I can't get our use additional themes.) I notified customer support twice without any notice from them.

ZERO STARS - Very Very VERY unhappy. I have had a PRO account for several years and in mid-2019 i could no longer login via a web browser on a PC. No web browser works, not on chrome or IE of Firefox. No support either. Used to be great, but now seems totally unsupported. Found "STANDARD NOTE" and am in the process of migrating all notes into it. "STANDARD NOTE" really works well and is 100% encrypted. Cancelling my gnotes.me membership -

If you are still using it? Good luck. You will get rip off or lost track of your data. It did not provide you with solution of how to retrieve your data after it start forcing you to upgrade. Basic (free) version won't let you do sync. What's the point of using it. I switched to OneNote.

You would be my note pad of choice due to ur relationships with Google and the ease of the use sync/saving new notes and being able to see them on any device I login to but I cannot get over the annoyance of your page scroll that occurs when opening a note to edit throwing the user into confusion and wasted time finding the spot intended. Please just open the note on the first click not first veiw then edit just strait to edit. Thanks zach

Stay away from this one. Like many here are saying, it was great, but it no longer syncs. I had just renewed in June and after a phone crash last week, I lost many of my notes. To make matters worse, the app no longer recognizes me as a pro user. Emails to the developer have gone unanswered.

I'm pretty worried by what's been going on with this app. I used to love it and use it very often as the syncing capabilities were very good but the ability to access to the notes through a computer has vanished. Luckily I can still access the notes on my phone but I'm afraid the years of notes will disappear sooner or later. I wish we could help you somehow to keep this app running, it would make a lot of people happy, and if the efforts aren't enough then it would be nice if we could get some heads up about it to salvage out data before the app collapses. Thank you for your contribution to us, sad to see it fade away :,(

Exceptional app, well worth the subscription. Unfortunately, with my subscription getting automatically renewed 3 weeks ago, gnotes stopped synchronizing and started suggesting I upgrade to pro. To make matters worse, I haven't heard a peep from the developers since contacting them by email weeks ago. This is unacceptable, and paying double for a subscription with the chance that it might still not work is not the solution.
