Lifetime membership

I just bought a Lifetime subscription and the software features are good, but I wish you would add the ability to display two pages side by side horizontally, which would give it a more book-like feel. And also the ability to add pages from other PDFs to the notebook I'm using.looking forward to exciting updates, thank you 🙌🏻❤️

Was good before adds.

I had this app before the adds were added. I even payed for the “full version” so I could have more notes and such. Now, even though I have already payed for it in the past, it’s asking for more money? Ridiculous. This went from a great helpful app to an annoyance that I wasted my money on.

Lost paid access

I downloaded KiloNotes around December, 2024, and it was actually the first note-taking app I ever tried. Back then, there were no ads, and the subscription prices were different. I really liked how simple and clean it was, so I decided to support the app and paid for the permanent subscription, which at that time was around $9.99.Fast forward to now, after the recent update, I was asked to log in and create an account, and once I did, I noticed that I now have ads and that my permanent subscription was removed. The app now asks me to pay again for a new plan, and the permanent subscription is $19.99. I understand that updates can bring new features, but it is unfair to remove access from users who already paid for permanent features. There was no warning, no notice, and no communication about this change. It feels like the money I spent no longer matters. I used to really like KiloNotes and even recommended it to friends, but this experience was very disappointing. If the developers changed their pricing model, they should honor previous purchases or offer refunds to users who already supported the app.

Adds on Paid Lifetime Version!?

Update: The developer has also made it incredibly difficult to delete your account and data! Do no use this app.
I was very happy with this app, there were a few shortcomings with functionality and Apple Pencil support but nothing that couldn’t be ignored. However paying $20 then having to see adds before, after, and during use is entirely unacceptable! You’ve ruined the experience.

App works for a short time

I purchased the permanent membership instead of the app. Now less than a year later, my account has somehow been reset and I don’t have access to my membership. Out of desperation, I attempted to re-purchase my membership however I’m unable to repurchase because I’ve already purchased it in the past. That’s a serious bug when you’re talking about a note app. I can’t use my notes for my classes while in the middle of a semester. I do not recommend this app.

My subscription didn't renew?

I’ve been using this app for about a year now and it suddenly logged me out of my account and asked me to pay again. I already paid the premium membership And I don’t understand what’s going on. However I absolutely adore this app I rave about it to everyone I meet. As a college kid, I use this app for every single class so that I only have to carry around my iPad and not millions of books, it has saved my back and my arms from all the pressure of my textbooks. I love that I can download files that my professors send out instead of having to print them so I can have it all in one place. Will I be repaying the membership? I’m not sure because it’s very annoying to have ads in the middle of your writing, especially in class but at the same time I don’t understand why I would have to pay the same price twice. This is a major problem and a reason I would stop using the app if this ever happened again and it needs to be fixed asap.

Ads

I bought premium in hopes they would remove the ads because they’ve increased the time from 5seconds to 10 seconds to close out an ad. This is a complete money grabber from them. I not only have ads bordering my notes, but also forced videos that play for up to 10 seconds despite paying for the upgrade. Premium is not worth it, there are other notes app that are free or just better and won’t play ads.

I hate the ads

When I originally bought the app’s subscription I was under the impression that I would not see any ads. For the first couple of months, everything worked great and I didn’t see any ads but suddenly, ads started popping up. I use the app for important meetings and to take minutes but with the ads, it becomes so annoying to use because it interferes. I really wish they fix this so that people who paid don’t see the ads.

I LOVE THIS APP: 1 thing

This app has EVERYTHING. My favorite feature that sets it aside from other note taking apps is the built in anatomy stickers for medical students. I also love how easy it is to make everything cute without as much effort as other apps, which require a lot of customization: but it doesn't have to be cute if you're not into that. The one thing I wish it had was a CHART FUNCTION!! Depending on the size, making them with the shape customized is quite tedious. Can't recommend this app enough.

Ads even after purchasing VIP Subscription

I can understand ads in free version, but they are putting unstoppable ads taking almost 30s while you are in middle on concentrated work. Did I buy VIP version still to see the ads. I love the simplistic and aesthetic UI this app provides, which lead to choose Kilonotes over dozen of other note taking apps, but seems like I should switch to some other apps if developers don’t fix this issue at least in the paid version

Difficult to Accustom

This app was so good and It has brought me a long way. That may be coming to an end because they started implementing so many ads! And mind you the ads that they use are so difficult to get rid of, I am missing my notes during my lectures because the ads keep popping up. It’s a bit unfair to be paying for an initial download.

Great but the most annoying

I love this app and I’ve used the free version for a while now. HOWEVER the amount of ads is insane. I paid the one time purchase in hopes that they go away, but I might have to consider another app. They apear when your wrist touches it at the bottom while you’re writing followed by another one when you go back to the app, and just about whenever you open it… It’s getting to the point where it’s hard to take notes and keep up in class or the professor thinking you’re playing a game rather than being focused.

Meh

Selection of templates is good but the UI is difficult to navigate, especially if you’re a beginner. I can’t create any of my own custom covers because the app keeps saying I haven’t allowed Photo permissions. I’ve turned on Photo permissions dozens of times and it still won’t work. Too glitchy and clunky to be useful for me.

Why ads

I personally loved this for taking notes I used it all the time and I used to recommended it to people a lot but now that they added ads I might end up switching to something else. Its already really annoying and inconvenient to have an ad interrupt you when your trying to take notes in class but the ads also turns off my recording on voice memos (I record each of my lectures to listen to afterwards in case I missed any info) which defeats the purpose of my recording in the first place. The ads at the bottom of the screen are also pretty annoying, when I’m writing notes my hand always ends up touching one at some point and then it takes me out of the app and into whatever the ad was. I don’t really want to switch to something else so whoever decided to add the ads pls remove them again😭.

Great app for students!!

It has so many amazing features that the note taking apps with monthly subscriptions have and even more that they don’t have.
It is really easy to import pictures into ur notes, u can even make pictures transparent, you can search google on the side of ur notes within the app itself, also the organization within the app is so good!! There’s folders and really cute notebooks and u can even make an outline within notebooks to go to a specific page. It also has an awesome search feature where you can search your handwritten not only in the notebook you’re in but there’s also a feature to search across all your notebooks you have!! There’s also a ton more features and I especially appreciate how easy and quick it is to use diffferent features bc that is really important when ur rushing to write notes during lecture.
The only major con is that there is not automatic syncing across devices. There are ways to send from kilonotes ipad to phone but it is a quite tedious and you have to do each individual notebook. It also doesn’t have any option to back up to google drive/dropbox/etc. which does get me worried about always having access to my notes in the future.
Another con is that the lasso select feature doesn’t work across different pages within a notebook. The only way to take something you write from one page to another is to copy paste. It’s not the worst thing in the world but it would be a great update to add this!!
I will continue to use this bc I really appreciate the layout and all the good features, but I am really worried about losing my notes due to no back up options and also it is quite inconvenient to review on my phone. A desktop version would also be highly appreciated!!!

Everything you need

I absolutely love this app so much! It has so many free things that you would need to pay on other apps. I had almost a hour long recording on my notes page and it was completely free. It’s great when needing to import a photo, or even when having to take a picture there is a feature inside you notebook. Only thing I wish if we could customize the notebook cover.

Ads have ruined my experience

I’ve been using kilo notes for a few years now. As a college student it is really nice to have a notes app that is free that has a lot of features. Recently the app has implemented ads which is fine by me, the app is free. My issue is that I will be writing my notes and accidentally tap the ad that is always on the bottom of the page. This sends me out of the app onto safari and when I tap back into the app it automatically plays a 30 second app. This is frustrating when I am trying to write notes during class and miss stuff bc I am forced to watch an ad trying to get back to my notes. If they could remove the ability to tap into the ad or move the ad placement to a less easily tapped place then the experience would improve tremendously!

Annoying Ads Even for Subscribers

I like how the app works for me, but recently they’ve added ads that take multiple screen touches to clear. I even bought the lifetime subscription, hoping it would give me a break, but it doesn’t. I can put up with quick ads or the ones that float at the bottom, but this is ridiculous and only causes me to hate the companies who advertise on here.

This WAS a 5 Star App

I loved this app…until the Ads started. I even paid to upgrade my version of this app so I could have more journals because I used it so much. Now, it’s such a bother. If the ads when you open a journal weren’t enough, there are now ads at the bottom of each page that I hit with my wrist when I write ALL THE TIME, grrrrr.
Unless the ads stop, I will delete this app and go somewhere else, which is so disappointing since I have close to 4 years worth of notes and journals. What was once great has been ruined out of greed to make more money.

Ads

I absolutely loved kilonotes through my first year of college as it was cute, simplistic, and easy to use, but recently the ads are out of control. I can’t go ten minutes without accidentally hitting the ads at the bottom of the screen (which cover up note-taking area, mind you) and being taken to a website, only to come back to the app and be greeted with a video ad instead. spectacular. God forbid a girl needs to study during finals week

I recently downloaded this app and loved it worked really well for taking notes. The limited amount of journals was even fine for me but recently there have been a lot of unskipable ads that take the entire screen for a few seconds almost every time I use the app. And the ones at the bottom that my wrist sometimes accidentally touches and opens. Super annoying and makes me wanna go find a new notetaking app. Please go back to original !

Disappointed

My iPad was glitching so much so I decided to reset it. Before, I reset it I backed up all my notes and data and I even backed it up on my google drive. I thought I would retrieve all my notes once my iPad was done resetting but NOO. I have no trace of notes, I even checked my google drive and the kilo notes file shows unsupported. There is no email or anything we can use to sign in on the app to save data and I also have a paid subscription. I emailed the company and I have not received any information whatsoever. Kilonotes improve your app because I lost all my important college notes which I need for future.

Great overall!

I really like this app! I think it is very fun and easy to use. There is so many stickers and fun ways to customize your notes. Yes, there is in app purchases, but currently I am using the free version and I don't feel left out on anything. You get 7 free notebooks and I'm only using 3 so really I think it is a really great and fun app. One recommendation to the developers would be to add a search filter in the stickers!!! Please please add that.

Please improve “ Add link “ feature on this app .

This app is better than other apps, but it has to improve more. The feature of “ Add link” is not up to the mark . When I create a link , I have to scroll 1000 pages to find a specific page as a link. And this is so disturbing. It can be improved by giving a page choosing option like (a page number toolbar ).
Then after creating a link , when I go to the link, I get a few seconds to get back to the linking page, and after a few seconds, I can’t go back to my linking page, and I have to find this page again . This is so annoying. But I need more time ( unlimited ) to go back to my page where I linked .

Really and affordable

Kilo notes did a really good job when creating the apps it does well on importing pdf with table of contents too! And you can simply do a one time purchase and you can use the app with all its features and organization. My two pet peeves writing to text. They don’t have it and if possible try not to mess up the formatting on the word or PowerPoint documents otherwise just have a possibility to make document and PowerPoint friendly. Hence for me a sold 9.5/10

Great, but.. (4 stars)

I put 5 stars for a higher chance of this review being seen, but I’d probably give it a 3-4 star review. This app is pretty good for notes and stuff; I like to use it to keep separate notes for all of my classes and to review. The platform is easy to use and has a bunch of cute templates and stickers. The only issue is that I bought the permanent membership, and then once I got a new iPad the app reset said membership and I no longer have access to the unlimited amounts of notebooks. I am not sure how to fix this issue as when I say “restore purchases” it says there are no purchases to restore. I will be reaching out to customer services and probably edit my response after doing so.

Amazing Budget Notes App

I would say this is the second-best budget app for note-taking. The prices of the subscriptions are very affordable. The app works just like any other note-taking apps like Noteful Goodnotes and Notability. They also have similar User Interface too. I would recommend this app if you are a student who needs to take notes in school or college or for just personal preferences.

Some Suggestions

I have used this since my start in college and it is a dream to use ! I remember knowing about goodnotes as the best but the moment I learned you had to keep purchasing their subscription was a turn off. After my first semester I immediately bought the lifetime subscription (THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS OPTION). I have some suggestions for the app that I would love to see! For example: being able to favorite certain sticker packs so that you can use them quickly without having to scroll two minutes to find the one you use. One of the things that brought me to get a subscription were the lovely stickers and of course, the ability to make more journals.

Love the app but needs slight improvements

I use a planner with hyperlinks on the edges and when I try to click on them, it goes to the next or previous page. There are certain workarounds I figured out like extending the margins (but makes it ugly). It would be easier if there was a setting to turn off going to the next page by touching the edge and only swipe.

My honest opinion

I've been using Kilonotes, and I genuinely believe it's an outstanding app. It stands out because it offers a comprehensive set of tools that truly enhance the user experience. However, I have a suggestion: it would be fantastic if you could make various font file types available for us to use. This addition would really expand the creative possibilities within the app. That being said, I want to emphasize that, overall, Kilonotes is an exceptional platform. Keep up the fantastic work—your efforts are greatly appreciated!

No syncing :(

I use this app for note taking in college and I love it. But I’m upset that I just found out there is no way to sync your notes between Devices. This really stresses me out because if I were to lose or break my device that would mean I lose ALL of my notes (being a stem major that cannot happen) I’m probably going to switch to a different app bc of this bc I just can’t risk it. If you guys add a syncing feature then I will gladly continue to use it but if not I’m going to have to use something else.

iPad and iPhone Notes/files/folders DONT sync

I was really excited to see that kilonotes had a phone app bc I thought I would be able to access my class notes and digital journal on the go but I was wrong. I logged on to both of the apps that are kilonotes(idk why they have 2) and logged in but none of my files were to be found. This honestly makes me real sad bc portability is a big thing for me to be productive, so will be in search of a new notes app even though I really enjoy for taking notes. Well unless of course fixed.

Awesome

In all honesty I just recently got my IPad and I went crazy downloading apps and note taking apps and out of all the ones I downloaded this one easily became my favorite. I love the amount of customizable items and all the different template pages you can use for free! I’m enjoying it and so excited to use this when my classes start up again. I definitely recommend this app to everyone.

Great app for college students!

I am an incoming college freshman and I recently got an iPad to take notes on, but I wasn’t sure how I was going to do it. But then I found this app! It’s so cute, helps keep you organized, and definitely worth the one time purchase (and it’s only $6.99)! I highly recommend this notes app!

This app is amazing! For example, when you took a picture of your email you got, but forgot about replying to it, note down in kilonotes “Reply back to this persons email” with the picture of the email. It is great to note down what you need to do. Such as planting, going somewhere, anything! It’s also great for school. It has a audio listener too so when you talk or your teacher talks, you can listen to it and take notes about whatever they said. I recommend this. It also has highlighters and even a secret space for private notes! That is honestly AMAZING. Definitely recommend. However, you need to spend money. But you don’t have to. But, I still recommend it!

Best Organized App Ever!

In my 5 years of living in US I’ve always been so bad at studying, comprehending, and doing well academically. That changed this year since I’ve downloaded Kilonotes! My academic growth was more then I expected I accomplished all A’s! My whole school year and it’s all thanks to Kilonotes which help me review, go over my study guides, write,draw, remember, and accomplish my goals I’ve set for myself . I can say I’m even smarter then ever so thank you so much! I own you everything.

Great but can still be improved

This app has a lot of great features that make it my go to for journaling and note taking. But there are still some feature I think should be added for a smoother use, such as customizing what stickers and page layouts show up in the selection screen. While there are many cute styles I don't play on ever using all of them, it a pain to go through all the pages of stickers just to get the one I want. I also think touch controls and color palettes could be better, I would love to have select color palettes I can switch between easily while color coding my notes. More features for stylus users would be great too, such as writing with a stylus and erasing with your finger

Amazing App imo!

I genuinely love this app so much! It has helped me to be more productive. I always want separate journals for specific things but also don’t have a way to carry them all with me on a daily basis, this app allows you to have multiple without all that extra hassle. I love this app for digital journaling. It’s absolutely the best. The ONLY downside is there is no way to filter out the stickers you have downloaded from the ones you don’t. I like finding new stickers to look through but having to look through each and every one until you find the specific bundle of stickers you downloaded is really annoying and frustrating. There are so many sticker packs and I forget the names to most of the ones I’ve downloaded so I have to sift through each and every one of them until I find the specific one. There should be a separate section where it keeps all of your downloaded stickers. Otherwise this app is a 5/5 stars for me but it’s a 4 since it’s lacking in this section.

LOVE

I just recently got an iPad because I desperately wanted somewhere to be creative and be able to write on the go with ease. I had been on the hunt for a journal and came across this one. Non only is it fairly cheap, its also super customizable and just all around great. I wish it had more choices for already made pages but I can’t really complain du to everything else being amazing.

Like it

I do like that app and that it gives me different options on paper type and cover designs. I find it pretty easy to use but do tend to get frustrated w/ it due it doesn’t always follow the prompts that I want it to do, but it might also be user error. I would like to see the opportunity to purchase stickers or other add ons to help the have better expereince.

Great App with some adjustments it could be perfect

This app is one of my favorite note-taking apps. Definitely worth the money. My suggestions:
1. There select tool doesn’t allow you to move the tape around and it only allows you to create a fixed shape.
2. The flashcard feature is a little funky. It’s not your typical flashcard where you have a front and back which I prefer.
3. I can’t find the search feature if there even is one
4. When uploading a document it doesn’t ask where you want to send the file it just uploads to whatever is open
The things I mentioned are pretty minor but those little fixes would help for convenience and efficiency. Other than that I really like it

Glitches 4/24

This app used to be very very good, but now all of a sudden there are so many glitches. Where when u put your info in, once you're finished & go back to look at your info only half Is there... Then other times u see all of your info & when u close it & go back into it again, nothing is left on your page. I MEAN GONE - OMG!!! Or only half of it appear. And no matter what you do, u can't get it back. I am so upset about this. I would say do not purchase this app. Bcuz u won't be able to save your things clearly where you can go back to retrieve them or they just won't be there. I would say use something else more reliable for your info. This is just my honest opinion, I did like it a lot. But now I wish I hadn't spent the money on it. Sorry.

Budget friendly

Overall, I have used this app more than GoodNotes and Notability and like how affordable it is compared to other apps. Cropping images and making stickers out of them is easier and there are ample templates to meet one’s goals in writing, drawling, doodling or letting loose into a user’s creative realms. However, one thing I would like to see get implemented into the app is a feature to change the color of the folders and have a simple way of adding multiple pages quicker than having to individually add them as it is not smooth. The templates created by other users are nice, but they do not look as crisp or clean when zooming in which may be an issue for others. Please make the notebooks accessible to have on Apple shortcuts

Really awesome but…

This app is really great, has amazing features but it would be perfect if when recording , that it shows the subtitles of that recording, that would take this app on a whole other level, especially since in college recording lectures are a big thing students do and subtitles will make it easier for us to look back with words instead of replaying the audio back.

i regret buying this

there are so many issues with this app. I kind of just want to go back to the notes app on my iPhone.
I struggle with finding the smallest things like, how do I turn something into a bullet list? It shouldn’t be this hard to find and yet I still can’t find it.
Another issue I have is whenever I try to go back and correct a word that was misspelled, the cursor automatically goes back to the end of the note, instead of the word that I need to fix, so I have to click it a minimum of three times in order for the cursor to stay in the spot where I selected it. It is extremely frustrating and I truly wish I never spent money on this app.
One more issue I have is the sizing of words on the app. I set the font size to a certain number, but every time I do the size is different than the previous paragraph even though they are the same font.
I wish the app automatically added a page when you continue typing instead of letting the words I type get hidden off the page where I am unable to see them.
I don’t understand how people can make use out of this app and an easy way because this is one of the most difficult notes apps I’ve used. I think I might switch over to good notes.

This app is good...but it could be better

This app is SOOOO full of bugs, maintenance on this app is so mediocre. I would actually be willing to purchase the subscription because of the many features but the bugs are just too much. Get this app if your on a budget and don't mind a lag when you write with your apple pencil. You can also notice the lag whenever you click literally anything (I'm exaggerating). But all in all it's a good app, it has many cool features for free! could be better tho.

Occasionally it stops working or is lagging

Just like the title says, the app would occasionally stop work and lag whenever I’m writing with my pen air when I’m erasing what I wrote, I just bought this iPad which is mini 6 and pen and I’m sure it has nothing to do with it since it was right out of the store but I can always check. Anyways please fix the lagging I just got this app and the permanent membership and have loved it so far, I use this for college classes and as a planner ☹️. Would definitely give it 5 stars if this issue can be resolved soon!

Scam!!!!

Would give zero rating if I could. I liked the app at first until I made it to the limit oh 5 notes. Then it took me several times to purchase $3.99 membership then when I finally got it working it charged me and I still didn’t receive permanent membership. It shows some foreign language and then starts to glitch. It won’t let me sign in with my Apple ID so I requested a refund idc if it is $3 I got nothing out of the deal.
I chose this one over goodnotes but now I’m headed back there to pay $9.99 yearly. At least I know their app actually works.

Suggestions

I got this for note-taking for college and I love it so much, it’s cheap with no need to buy a subscription to access all benefits. But is it possible to make the undo gesture a lot faster? It’s a lot slower compared to other apps. I also have problems when I move away from the app, it starts drawing with my fingers instead of scrolling

Changes?

First of all, I would like to say, I absolutely love this app, but I think that they can be one feature that can of the game of this app. That would be to create a account so every time you login from like a new device all your stuff is connected with that account instead of saving each, and every single one of your notebooks to a file and having them there, I think it would be more useful to create an account. Thank you.

My favorite App!

I got this app sometime ago and i’ve been using it for graduate school. If you are looking for a Goodnotes dupe, this is the app to get! I like this app because some notebook apps you have to pay to get more notebooks while this is unlimited. This has all of the great features like adding in your own images, changes the page look, cover art, lasso tool, etc. its super easy to figure out and easy to change things around to fit your style of writing. You can also pay for additional aesthetics but i don’t. My only tiny, tiny, bone to pick with this app is that i wish it told you how far you’ve zoomed into the page so its easier to get back to. I like my handwriting quite small and sometimes its hard to get back to the size i was writing at whether my handwriting be too big or too small when i come back in. Other than that, this app is a 5 out of 5!!
i never write reviews..
2023-08-17

Great but....!

I bought the full version of this app and I really like it!! The designs are really cute, and there's such a variety of different types of lined pages which is the main reason I got it. Some few notes on improvements
would be that it could be more organized or organized a bit differently because the pages and stickers are organized by theme packs. Which make sense but it would be easier to find what you're looking for based on the type of notebook, for example like budgeting or calendar. I wish you could preview the page up close before selecting it to add to your notebook. Those are minor things l picked up. The main thing I cane about is the audio recording. this app would be more perfect for me if you were able to reduce the background noise in the audio like you can in the good notes app. Although, I was debating on buying the full version of this app or good notes and I went with this one.

Please add zoom & improve the eraser and lasso tools.

I love love love this app. I prefer it to good notes. That said, it would be cons better than Goodnotes if y'all added a zoom feature, as well as improving the eraser tool so it will erase little details. The lasso tool also needs a massive update because it's almost impossible to select individual letters in handwritten notes, even when zoomed in a whole lot. Other than that, love the app!

Great App

I really love this app and how many things you can do with it. Unfortunately it stopped allowing you to customize your notes with any picture you have. This was my favorite part of the app because i could make my notebooks cute or anything I wanted them to be. I don’t know why all of a sudden this has changed by it annoyed me as I am a college student and wanted to have something around me that would make me smile. Please bring back this option.

Really great but ….

Really great but instructions are only in one language. It’s got a great clean aesthetic and comes with a preinstalled notebook that (I’m assuming) has explains the features of the app. Unfortunately, it is only in one language, which I assume is the language of the app creators, but anyone who doesn’t understand the language will just have to ignore it and figure things out yourself. However, the app is fairly user friendly and intuitive and is actually my favorite free note taking app.

Cute ane simple

I love the notebook layout and how you can upload a picture to be the notebook cover. I just found cute stuff on pintrest and used those. I also love the brush pressure option for the ben. You can also of course make custom colors and save them in your options. There is a wide range for the type of paper too. This is more for notes and maybe doodles. There isn’t a shape fixing feature but I dont mind.

Make this app more accessible please!

I was looking for alternates for Goodnotes 5 because I was NOT about to spend 8 bucks on a writing app. I stumbled upon this app and thought it would work, so I downloaded it. Ironically, as I was closing out of the App Store I saw the little “Apple Pencil” message on one of the screen shots. I assumed, “oh they must allow the Apple Pencil to be used aswell” Because I don’t have an Apple Pencil, they are pretty expensive. I open the app and try to write (with my finger, obviously). It doesn’t work. I try changing the color + size of the brush, nothing. A few days later I borrow my friends Apple Pen and it works just fine. Then I realize that you guys only allow the Apple Pencil to be used! I didn’t even get to explore the features because I can’t even write without a $100 tool! That’s it, just please try to make your app available to use without an Apple Pencil.
