1/5No longer a great app
I’ve used this app for years. Since 2015, actually. But over the last couple of months it has become very difficult to use. And it is not the phone because I’ve changed phones but am still unable to use it. I have an iPhone and have always used the app with an iPhone. I started using the app with an iPhone 8, just recently updated from the 12 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max. The problems are with both of these phones and I only used 85% of the 12 Pro Max memory so it wasn’t a “lack of memory issue”. When I try to select text to copy, paste, or even change the text by typing, the cursor jumps around and will select text 2 or more entries off of what I selected or will only select part of the text but not give me the option to expand the selection. Then when I try to get back to the text I wanted it doesn’t respond correctly, causing me to have to get out and then back in. It has become very difficult to use. I’m so disappointed in the latest version that I moved my entries to another app and deleted this one today. It’s not worth the effort it takes to do basic tasks.

5/5Deletes anytime
The colors are fun. The moody emoji is a nice addition. Problem is that it is way to easy to delete. No warning, no option to cancel, no undo. I have one note that I’ve had to retype 3 times. If there was a lock/unlock option. Also the select doesn’t seem to have a way out. Once selected I make any move and whatever was highlighted gets deleted and again no undo is available. The reason for the 2 stars is because I like the colors and moods.

5/5Easy Yet Detailed
I have used Colored Notes for years. It was always visually appealing and I was able to organize notes by my criteria which is important to me. I wish you could keep the original date ON the note. This way if it is added to, or information is changed, the date it was altered can appear on the note, but it will not eliminate the day on which it was created. I am also wondering why I am able to change the font on the face of the listings of notes, but not within the body of the notes! Please fix this! Thanks! GerriZee

5/5Outstanding 👌🏻
I'm really falling for this app. I've been searching for a new notepad app that can get me away from the junk that is "the iPhone notepad". I hate that thing!!! So boring and uninteresting. Nothing like Color Note. I love this app because it's fun, whimsical, overall great to use when you wanna just jot some thing's down. I literally spent about three hours the other day, writing things, choosing my mood and what color I wanted the note itself to be. Now, every time I have an idea.. I waste no time and go straight to Color Note! 5 stars. Thank You for such a great app. 🙂

5/5Found exactly what I was looking for
I’ve been searching through the Appstore for days for an app like this one, where you can write notes and sort them out easily with colors. Some other apps do the same as well, but this one is the highest-quality app I’ve seen so far. It lets you adjust small things that make the app much more worthwhile. Plus, there isn’t a limit to how much notes you can have, which is an extremely amazing plus that other apps lack. This app was exactly what I was looking for. If I could rate it higher, I would.
