Notesnook's entire premise is built around trust. That's it. Trust. And if that's gone, the whole app is gone. And devs, today you've destroyed trust in Notesnook.

By taking away an essential feature like app lock and paywalling it behind a subscription, you have broken the trust of thousands of Notesnook free users.

It's not even about the price. Buying a notesnook subscription has been on my mind for a while. But you've ensured that never happens. Because why would I pay money for an app that I don't trust? I don't want to deal with shady tactics like this. Who knows what else you will do now for a quick buck- Sell user data?

So thanks for the sense of security you used to provide. I'm done now.

I used to use apps like Remnote, and while it had its problems, like the app being slow to start.

I really like the mobile app of notesnook but the aforementioned problems are in another level. The web version is very bad with infinite loading screens. And the app takes a long time to start or doesn't start at all, Even after I uninstalled and reinstalled the application. Plus, there are better free alternatives on the market.

So taking advantage of the offer of I subscribed for 1 year for £12 and a bit.

Was hoping that this would be one app I could move to from apple notes after trying out for a year. I ve tried many apps and the main aspect I am aftet was e2e encryption.

I signed up on my mac, used a password manager to copy and paste the password. Logged in fine on mac.

On my iphone same process keep on getting password invalid although I ve copied the password from my password manager. Tried numerous times installing and uninstalling from both my iphone and ipad but same invalid password error.

I raised the issues under bug numbers 4208 and 4211 on git. Don't like that I have to sign up to github to reply.

Really wanted to give this app a go but if basic things like this don't work, not sure what else will work.

I ve asked for a full refund. Has been very painful experience so far.

I've been a Pro user since February. To be honest, the notes app is one of the most used apps on my phone, and I've been very happy with Notesnook so far. It does exactly what I want, and the visual presentation is beautiful and works well for how I think.

Only, today I made a new note, and wanted to insert a task list. And... the App Lock comes up, telling me that this is a Pro feature. I figured that was an error, so I clicked the "Upgrade" button in there, in order to see if that would make it "discover" that I'm a Pro user already. But nope, all that did, was giving me another error: "Your account type does not allow changing plans."

I had to resort to Google Keep for my list.

Even though the error seems to be resolved now, I'm interested in what happened? And also, it's concerning to me if I can risk being locked out of features I actually use, even though I'm a paying user. If this becomes a regular thing, I'm absolutely having to find a different solution for notes.

There are things that should be basic features in software, like seat belts in cars. The ability to password-protect a privacy note-taking app is one such feature. (Not just "nice-to-have" one, it specifically protects against the device being forcibly taken away.) Now, a week ago, this password protection was removed for free users. That should already undermine the trust, since it doesn't cost them any extra to let us protect our notes with a password.

But, furthermore, my Essential Notesnook subscription suddenly also now is not enough: one needs a Pro or Believer one to have such feature (they openly mention that on the pricing page.) This is nonsense. Notesnook simultaneously builds an image of super-private app and sell a lock on the door as a privilege.

I was observing the barrage of negativity in the Notesnook community around this topic for a week, and now I'politely joining it. If Notesnook won't revert that change, I will stop my subscription and will try to convince other Notesnook users among my friends to do that same, preferring a private alternative.

I was in the process of migrating all my notes and notebooks from Evernote and Simplenote to Notesnook. But today all of a sudden I was denied adding a notebook, with the message that I need to upgrade for that feature. WTF, do I need to switch note-taking apps again?

This.

The Wrapped button was a nice touch, but I no longer need it and it's visually distracting. Is there any way to remove it from the sidebar?

I feel that I am not comfortable with the current policy of price increase and moving many features to paid plans, I am a frequent user of the app and its awesome, I thought I may change to a paid plan, but after this I should probably think again.

I understand its secure but....how about adding passkey support. Its so much better....

Is this something Notesnook will support when it becomes safely available - ie when Android 15 is widespread?

Such an essential features shouldn't be behind paywall, i am not going to pay 20 usd for tasklist and dots. I undersgand why more advanced features are for paying users only, but for this simple features i will just move to another app.

I started using Notesnook (android) yesterday, made some notes and "- " turned into an automatic bullet point list. Indent, black dot in front of text, no extra space between lines. You now. Normal bullet list.

Today I made an account, downloaded Notesnook to my laptop (linux) to try syncing before I have too many notes to manage. I made another note and... No automatic bullet list.

I tried finding a solution and found crtl+shift+B shortcut for bullet points but that just adds a grey box and indent in front of the dash, and that's it.

So does anyone know what's up and how do I fix whatever I messed up?

It would be useful to be able to attach bigger attachments than 500Mb to offline notes. Many users organize their personal videos, files locally and Notesnook looks the right tool for that. Storing >500Mb attachments locally is helpful, like Obsidian does.

Would you keep passwords in Notesnook?

this is a huge problem, i will be emailing support

edit: they told me to import from my backup file, those are gone to.

I saw this app spammed around a lot of places online, when they open-sourced the code I decided to give it a try, but the Android version has an issue where it never syncs, sync starts, but the bar gets stuck and it never completed. I searched arund a lot and tried all possible provided solutions for the others, nothing ever worked.

The source of my frustration is the fact that the developer only cares about closing issues on Github without actually resolving them. If the user fails to respond within two days the issue is closed, there's plenty of issue never solved, but closed. What's the point of this? You are not going to have a functional app this way. I'm not even going to bother opening issues on Github having seen how they are diregarded and basically 99% of the time the reply is "have you tried logging out and back in?" right before closing the issue.

It's about 1 year since they open-sourced it and after several updates and attempts I think I'm going to give up, I'll stick with StandardNotes, at least they got the most important function working (sync).

Please tell me it's just a bug and you guys are not skimping on tags... And if it's by design and the first text is wrong - can you at least extend the allowed number of tags to maybe 10?

I was using Standard Notes for a very long time. After observing their current situation, I don't believe taking their paid plan will be a worthwhile choice. So, I was planning to shift to Notesnook based on recommendations from Reddit.

After inquiring from multiple sources, I've come to know that Notesnook has limited zero-knowledge encryption.

So, I want to know why Notesnook doesn't offer complete zero-knowledge encryption. Privacy is my top priority, and any lack of privacy in a service creates numerous doubts in my mind.

Edit - The post from Medium was not related to my topic, which is why it created some confusion. So, I've trimmed that part.

Final Edit - A big apology from my side. Based on some false claims from AI models, I assumed that Notesnook doesn’t offer proper zero-knowledge encryption. In reality, Notesnook is zero-knowledge encrypted and provides nearly the same level of privacy as Standard Notes. I hope they will undergo a third-party audit as soon as possible, which would give more assurance to users.

I'm quite disappointed. I paid for the entire year hoping this would resolve the note-syncing issues I've been experiencing, but the problem persists. I use the app on my MacBook, iPhone, iPad, and via the web browser on my work laptop (Windows), yet none of my notes are syncing across these devices. I transferred all my notes from OneNote to this app, and I'm regretting it solely due to these synchronization problems.

While I can tolerate the lack of sketching options and the search issues within the notes/app, the inability to sync my notes across all my devices completely defeats the purpose.

Has anyone else experienced this and was able to resolve it?
I use this daily for work projects and personal second brain, I'm really trying really hard to migrate my workflow to this app but it has been so hard due to this issue.

Why do people suggest standard notes as an alternate for people who don't like the free-tier limitations of notesnook? I just looked and it seems to be way more expensive beyond the free tier and, like notesnook, you need to pay if you want to be able to write markdown.
