I love the fact it's cross platform & has a Table option, the only reason I haven't paid for Premium yet is because I also have an iPad & I use the handwriting for note taking alot, I would love to be able to write down notes with my pen as well without having to write it in a note & having to stick it like an image, I would pay for that feature & that would make it a 5 star product to me.

The app will not add a hyperlink to the selected text when I hit 'Done' on the Add Link window. I use this app for everything in my personal and work life, so I need it to be reliable. I had to close and restart the app, disrupting my train of thought. Please only release stable and tested updates. I would also really love to be able to set reminders to revisit notes and improve recall.

For me upnote is great but it's missing 4 key features that I personally want. There are no reminders which I sometimes need to add to a project. There is no way to backup your notes via your mobile device so if I use my tablet as a laptop when traveling, there is no way to restore my data.. There is no e2ee so I wouldn't feel comfortable putting my school info on here or even keep a journal knowing that someone could have access.. And finally no full mouse support on mobile devices.

Unbelievable. This software makes MS OneNote look like it was developed by incompetent toddlers. You MUST stop suffering with OneNote's glitches, sync problems, etc. This is perhaps one of the finest pieces of software I have ever used. GET IT!!! đź‘Ť

Wonderful alternative to Notion. Especially since you have the option to align text in UpNote, but not in Notion. And you can still share a weblink of your note which is perfect! My only caveats are: Tables remain the same size when viewed on a large device, which means your table will be squished to the left instead of resized to fit the new screen. Just like Notion, using different fonts remains a limitation. If you want to reformat existing text, don't highlight it, that deletes your text!

After switching from Google Keep to Notion and getting disappointed with the lack of offline support and how clunky the app felt. I'm happy to have found UpNote that does just about everything I was looking for a notes app. Instantly bought into the lifetime subscription and happy with my purchase. My only request is for the app to adopt the Android Material You adaptive icon please!

I was looking for an alternative to EverNote after they broke support for old devices and I got tired of waiting for their bloated, slow, overly cloud dependent software to update while it blanked out the screen on unchanged notes stored locally. I work in a business where "seconds mean money" so having instant access to vital notes saved locally is a MUST for me. UpNote allows me the instant access I need and the price for lifetime is very reasonable, can't recommend UpNote enough!

I've been using Evernote for quite some time, but lately the apps don't work smoothly, if at all. Tech Support is non existent these days so when my subscription ran out, I was forced to look elsewhere. there's so many choices and I tried a few that just didn't work for me.. until I found UpNote!! importing my files was virtually seamless! and I am up and running literally in less than a day! I signed up for the lifetime plan and it's worth every cent! absolutely LOVE IT!

Possibly a alternative to Evernote I have been with Evernote for years. But they raised the price $60 bucks. It's a good app but is it $130 good? I confess I have been struggling with that question for a week. Had given up on finding a alternative, until I tried UpNote. Is it 100 percent the same no. But it has so many of the Evernote capabilities, I may just cancel my Evernote subscription before it renews. If it improves as Evernote did over time it will be well worth the switched.

this is by far the best and so underrated. it does everything Evernote or OneNote does but at a fraction of the cost. I'm truly grateful for finding this and the support has been amazing as well. I do wish they were able to create something more similar to xtiles or Walling but I'm still grateful for this.
