Notes 4+

As much as I love this app, and I’ve been using it many, many years, my issue is being able to lock the app itself. I know you can lock individual notes but I have SO many that to do that individually would be way too much. I have thousands and thousands of separate notes. If we could lock the app altogether, would be fantastic! Please consider it. This is the only app I trust not to be discontinued. I’ve had a few that I bought and when I got a new phone, the content was not available or it was discontinued or whatever… I was devastated as I need to be able to go back and check stuff. I copied all my entries from the other apps to this one and that’s when I realized I cannot lock the app itself. I try others on occasion for locking purposes but I always end up here again. Ty for keeping it around. It’s reliable! That’s important to me. Although so is my privacy….locking the app would help so much! This app is my lists and journal and thought keeper … everything. I use it multiple times daily.

PRO: This app offers widely accessibility across all applications and Apple devices, standing out for its exceptional user-friendliness. It excels in quick information capture—whether sharing a delightful recipe discovered online by saving the link to Notes or preserving a screenshot to prevent it from being lost in the Photos app. A key strength lies in the app’s versatility to store various documents and files for effortless retrieval and access. This stands in contrast to the Files app, where content is often hidden, leaving users reliant on file names for identification. Additionally, organizing notes can be done with easy by creating personalized folders, spanning categories like personal, educational, professional, and financial, enhances the user’s ability to structure and manage content. Notably, the default notes folder is truly a brilliance feature; new notes appear in a designated folder by default, and users can maintain a clutter-free space by promptly relocating them to custom folders, leaving the yet-to-organize notes uncluttered.

CON: For enhanced practicality, the app could introduce an option allowing users to add new content to an existing note from the top. This adjustment would place the most recent contents at the beginning of notes, eliminating the need for users to scroll through older content to access and edit the latest information.

I love this app and, probably like many others, write weird stories in it. (Maybe, I’m not sure) So, in order to give myself privacy, I set a password on my especially weird ones. But, I also happened to put on Face ID, so I though that I didn’t really have to use the password since I had Face ID. How very wrong I was. So it turns out that, just today, while I was attempting to go into my notes to write in a story I was working on, I didn’t get the Face ID option, but instead got the password option. I tried and tried again to get the password correct but I couldn’t do it, so I went to settings and decided to change the password there. So I got rid of the OG password and made a new one. It didn’t work. I tried to take off the tab, that didn’t work. I reset the password again. That didn’t work. I switched the Face ID off and then back on again. That didn’t work. So then I made a whole new note and THEN IT LET ME USE FACE ID. What is happening, and can you please fix this, it was a really long note and I don’t want to have to rewrite it by memory. (Because I don’t have a good memory, and like I said, IT WAS A REALLY LONG NOTE) Please can I have this working properly again soon, thank you. (Also this was very annoying to type because of the new feature on my phone where it ‘improves my eyesight’, I already wear glasses, why do I need this?!)
