5/5FreeNotes Review
Love the app, thank you so much for making this app and not requiring fees for any features. The best thing about FreeNotes is that it’s free to use, not having to worry about limited amounts of notebooks and features. I’ve been having to switch between Noteful and CollaNote to take notes, since CollaNotes tools aren’t as nice as the tools in Noteful, and there was limited notebooks in Noteful. Now I can finally use this app for everything, thank goodness. The features are also The design of the user interface is very nice and clean (very neat), great job on the design. I was so surprised when I first double tapped with 2 fingers and it does the undo for me automatically! Love this feature since very few note taking apps have this feature, and I rely on this so much for undoing. ***The only criticism I have is the “Fitting Figure” feature. This feature does not work very well. Sometimes when I draw squares, it snaps in to circles instead. Other times when I draw squares, it does not snap into perfect squares at all, so this feature works like 50% of the time for me. Also, it would be nice if there’s an option to resize the “snapped squares” manually with lasso tool so that the dimensions/sides of the squares can be manipulated into rectangles like in Noteful

5/5Amazing app for note taking
I recently got an iPad and have been exploring various apps for taking notes. While many apps offer free downloads, I found that most of them limit functionality significantly, often pushing for in-app purchases to unlock essential features. However, I was pleasantly surprised by FreeNotes. Unlike many alternatives, it provides a comprehensive set of features entirely for free! The app's user experience is smooth, intuitive, and easy to navigate, making it a joy to use for everything from quick jotting to more detailed note-taking. I especially appreciate its clean and well-organized notebooks, which keep everything neat and accessible. FreeNotes supports a wide range of note formats without the need for expensive upgrades. Overall, it’s one of the best note-taking apps I’ve found on the iPad—simple, functional, and completely free of the typical paywall restrictions. If you're looking for a versatile, no-cost solution for your note-taking needs, FreeNotes is definitely worth checking out!

3/5Love this app but recently disappointed, can’t call it Freenotes anymore
I’ve been using Freenotes for more than a year now and it is my favorite app for note taking. The fancy tablet journal in the old Disney movie Read It and Weep was all I wanted as a kid & this was the closest thing I’ve ever found! But the paywalls, ads, and now the disheartening introduction of AI has left me frustrated and disappointed. The ads began and were annoying but tolerable, then there was a set limit to how many notes you could have. I would continue using the app with these restrictions & wouldn’t mind much, except that the notes limit INCLUDES DELETIONS. 35 max, not just 35 you can keep in your library, 35 that you are allowed to create EVER before you have to start paying a subscription. As someone who uses this app for a wide variety of creative projects, I’d consider paying a one time fee like a program like Procreate asks for, but a subscription feels like a kick in the teeth for an app that was free to use with unlimited notes about a year ago. Everything going the way of subscriptions and AI seems par for the course these days and I find it really disappointing that FREEnotes joined the bandwagon. Definitely isn’t free anymore, at least not for dedicated long-term users. It’s time for me to transfer my creative projects out of the app & begin looking elsewhere.

1/5Absolutely Disappointed
I have been using this app for four years and I absolutely loved it. In the time I have been using this app, I’ve been through its many updates and changes. At one point I even thought maybe I should try Goodnotes since it is so popular, but I did not particularly enjoy it and very much preferred “Freenotes”. That being said its title is very misleading. When they introduced ads I thought okay fine I understand it is hard to maintain a free app. Then they introduced AI and it was not my favorite; I am tired of everything including AI. But now I am opening this app and I can’t even create a new notebook without paying. Everything I have created is in this app and now I can’t even use it?? I don’t have anything else to say except I am extremely disappointed and you are better off finding a different note taking app. Now I have go through the process of finding a new app and a way to transfer everything! I never write reviews but this was the most frustrated I have ever been with an app. I understand it is hard for an app to stay free, but the beauty of “Freenotes” was that it was a simple app to just take notes. We did not need all this AI stuff or other clutter. Also after reading other reviews. I am even more disappointed. Saying that the free in “Freenotes” stands for freedom is such B.S. What a cop out statement! :(

          "body": "Love the app, thank you so much for making this app and not requiring fees for any features. The best thing about FreeNotes is that it’s free to use, not having to worry about limited amounts of notebooks and features. I’ve been having to switch between Noteful and CollaNote to take notes, since CollaNotes tools aren’t as nice as the tools in Noteful, and there was limited notebooks in Noteful. Now I can finally use this app for everything, thank goodness. The features are also The design of the user interface is very nice and clean (very neat), great job on the design. I was so surprised when I first double tapped with 2 fingers and it does the undo for me automatically! Love this feature since very few note taking apps have this feature, and I rely on this so much for undoing. ***The only criticism I have is the “Fitting Figure” feature. This feature does not work very well. Sometimes when I draw squares, it snaps in to circles instead. Other times when I draw squares, it does not snap into perfect squares at all, so this feature works like 50% of the time for me. Also, it would be nice if there’s an option to resize the “snapped squares” manually with lasso tool so that the dimensions/sides of the squares can be manipulated into rectangles like in Noteful",

          "body": "I recently got an iPad and have been exploring various apps for taking notes. While many apps offer free downloads, I found that most of them limit functionality significantly, often pushing for in-app purchases to unlock essential features. However, I was pleasantly surprised by FreeNotes. Unlike many alternatives, it provides a comprehensive set of features entirely for free! The app's user experience is smooth, intuitive, and easy to navigate, making it a joy to use for everything from quick jotting to more detailed note-taking. I especially appreciate its clean and well-organized notebooks, which keep everything neat and accessible. FreeNotes supports a wide range of note formats without the need for expensive upgrades. Overall, it’s one of the best note-taking apps I’ve found on the iPad—simple, functional, and completely free of the typical paywall restrictions. If you're looking for a versatile, no-cost solution for your note-taking needs, FreeNotes is definitely worth checking out!",

          "body": "I’ve been using Freenotes for more than a year now and it is my favorite app for note taking. The fancy tablet journal in the old Disney movie Read It and Weep was all I wanted as a kid & this was the closest thing I’ve ever found! But the paywalls, ads, and now the disheartening introduction of AI has left me frustrated and disappointed. The ads began and were annoying but tolerable, then there was a set limit to how many notes you could have. I would continue using the app with these restrictions & wouldn’t mind much, except that the notes limit INCLUDES DELETIONS. 35 max, not just 35 you can keep in your library, 35 that you are allowed to create EVER before you have to start paying a subscription. As someone who uses this app for a wide variety of creative projects, I’d consider paying a one time fee like a program like Procreate asks for, but a subscription feels like a kick in the teeth for an app that was free to use with unlimited notes about a year ago. Everything going the way of subscriptions and AI seems par for the course these days and I find it really disappointing that FREEnotes joined the bandwagon. Definitely isn’t free anymore, at least not for dedicated long-term users. It’s time for me to transfer my creative projects out of the app & begin looking elsewhere.",
