4/5Great App but still some potential!
This app is incredible for my mac, a quick side swipe and I have notes. The ease of use functionality is still missing from ios unfortunately. Some options that would really make this a 5 star app include - Widgets; having this option is incredible for Applenotes and other notes apps - Shortcuts: prebuilt shortcuts or just the option under apps to include sidenotes. - Siri integration: I don’t know how feasible this is, it would be excellent but the development requirements may be a bit beyond scope so I am not necessarily demanding this but it would be a benefit.

5/5Truly amazing!
I recall using this app years back in school. Of course, everything was novelty back when. Fast forward several years and I found myself needing something just like this to take and have some notes always handy, and I recalled this app. I downloaded it for my iMac and to my surprise, my old notes I had saved in iCloud were still present. It was neat seeing the old junk I jest back then, mostly command shortcuts to editing apps and some other random notes. However, after I started to use this app all over again, I felt a much greater sense of appreciation for it. Now, I can’t see myself without it as I am using it to gather information from different sources I will need for different projects. Main folders divide my projects and sheets within these folders are used to gather information in smaller categories as needed. I also want to say that I felt it was worth the buy and purchased the iPhone version and it runs as smoothly as the desktop. And it’s always nice to have the information there regardless of where I started the notes. Wow, I can recall when syncing information across computers using just one source was a real challenge, let alone doing it across different platforms.

5/5Must have app for wfh
I have been using sidenote on my Mac for over 2 years now. This is my go to app for taking quick notes while in meetings. I use this app almost everyday, and is one of the must have app if you own a MacBook. Cool features: Ability to copy and paste image Markdown I also add tags to search notes Search functionality - good You can add quick todo checkbox items Themes and iCloud sync When I got to know they are releasing an iOS version, I got super excited. And now it’s finally here, and wow it’s beautiful and so useful. The app looks so pleasing to the eyes with all the theme options. You feel like you want to keep using the app more. If you own a Mac, this is a must have app for both Mac and iPhone.

4/5Great note taking solution, excited for updates
I transitioned from Notes app to SideNotes for the nice desktop functionality. Having my notes be ever-present is excellent, and I love the opportunity to create apple shortcuts. For example, when I start my workday I have a shortcut that opens teams, email, and creates a new sidenote for the day in an appropriate folder. Please add shortcuts support to iOS! :)

5/5Great app - all around note writer, jot down slab
I love this app. I would appreciate continued improvements and integration with Windows, as well as for the Apple Watch, including quick widgets for the iPhone and iOS (iPad). This app is doing everything I once relied on Tot for. If you make those integrations, I can recommend you to everyone I know - fyi you would surpass the iOS notes app with that too, just saying
