I’ve been using it for about 2+ years and it never disappoints! Used it in my high school days and now I’m a university student 🥹 tried a lot of other apps but this one is the best!! Big big big love to freenotes ❤️❤️❤️ I tried to switch to other (free) apps but they weren’t as good as freenotes , so I subscribed as a plus member so i can take notes for university . I don’t regret it by the way it’s actually a great decision for me!
Freenotes is not free????

Hello, I have been using this app for studying the last 2 years and literally recommended it to many students because it is free and organized. But suddenly the free notes app isn’t free anymore and i have 3 files left to add then i have to pay the app which is insane to happen suddenly. We should have been informed not suddenly told to pay mid year with all my files in it. Such a shame for an app to call itself something it isn’t. You guys might need to consider changing the app name since you don’t represent it anymore. I totally believe in supporting a good app but the limitations that were suddenly added are very upsetting like being unable to export MY document bc it is considered BIG.I hope you guys reconsider the basis of this app.

this is one of the most amazing and simple note taking apps i have ever used, the pen motion is very smooth compared to GoodNote, it’s integrated with iCloud, and Files, the UI is not cluttered, you still have all the options that you want, you can organize folders and files overall an amazing app
Problem

DearFree-notes creators . I have downloaded your app after watching an advertisement that caught my eye . But whenever I open the app and reach the page of “ Thank you for being with us “ the app stops responding and doesn’t feature any other page when I click “ continue “ . This prevents me from entering your app and having the amazing experience people are talking about . I hope you consider this problem and fix it . Thank you for your cooperation .
