RemNote - Notes & Flashcards Reviews

by Dhrucoin

RemNote keeps crashing when i open it. When it does work (rarely), it proves to be very unuseful. Also, i use it on my ipad and it is quite difficult to navigate on it. The interface is more optimised for mac and pc. The flashcards are really weird because instead of a card, you type them in a sentence.

this app has a great concept and no app quite does what it does for SRS, but RemNote is buggy at times and the mobile apps are terrible. Landscape mode isn’t supported on the iPhone, and there’s no way to scroll to view Latex equations that run off the screen. I notified the devs two months ago, but the problem has still not been fixed. STEM students would be advised to switch to Logseq or Obsidian with the SRS plugin enabled.

Whenever I click the daily note option RemNote crashes. It asks me to reload which does not help. Closing/killing RemNote does not fix it. I have to delete and reinstall totally. When I’ve reinstalled, it happens again. Unusable in its current state. This has now extended to the browser in safari as well. iPhone 14 pro max issue it seems. I love this app btw. Please fix.

The free tier is way too limited. They should make all the pro features server based instead of feature based. I.e. features that require server should cost money but all local functions should be in free tier. Otherwise feels like a standard system whereby they cripple software until you pay. Can never compete with anki until this is addressed. Also charge money for the mobile apps. That is another way to make money. But don't cripple the software.

I have been using this app for 3 years, throughout my high school and college career. I intend to keep using this amazing note-taking program into graduate school. I have even begun using this app to organize my non-school related thoughts and notes because the nested, tree-style structure documents that this app allows you to create are just so effective at organizing ideas.

However, at the time of this review, to me this app is only properly usable as a desktop app.

Whenever you scroll down or up on this app in the mobile app, whether it be you skimming over your notes or quickly trying to find a specific topic, a Rem almost ALWAYS gets accidentally indented or outdented, often ruining entire tree structures that were meticulously written.

This is so incredibly frustrating and happens so commonly in RemNote that it often has me wondering if the this app developer team has even tried to use the iOS app in any capacity.

I often find myself not using this app in certain cases, simply because I would rather have certain information to be also easily accessible on my phone, and not just my desktop.

An easy fix to this would be to include some sort of toggle in the settings that would disable this feature, something like “Disable swipe to indent” in RemNote .

I am BEGGING the developers to add something like this into RemNote so that I can begin to enjoy this wonderful program on my phone.

First off everything else about RemNote is okay, but the syncing is driving me crazy. This is the third time now that the this app cards on my phone app and on my desktop app are not the same. I’m not getting the flash cards I made on my desktop and the cards I’ve reviewed on my phone don’t show up on my desktop app. At this point, I’m not even sure why I paid for it, I probably should’ve just used anki

I’ve used quizlet in the past and decided to use this app this school year because of the spaced repetition and occlusion cards and the versatility of how to make different flash cards. I was pleased until as of late 3 months into school when I began to have issues with my occlusion cards not occluding parts of the images. I’ve had to redo them which is time consuming and takes me away from studying. A bit of a steeper learning curve to learn compared to quizlet. Support has been slow to fix the problems and I have midterms coming up (submitted issue to support a week ago), otherwise I would’ve given more stars.

I followed the tutorial, but I’m still confused. It says to tap on the flashcard icon, but it doesn’t show you what it looks like. I’m having a hard time adding flashcards. To me it would be more intuitive if there was a « done » button when writing the flashcard.

I have used RemNote for a while now and really like the ease of quickly making flashcards while getting spaced repetition. However, I do like to use various forms of studying and really wish there was an option to export my notes as a PDF, I’ve tried to on word docs but it is not useable for me; I want to be able to draw, highlight and connect concepts in my handwriting with the notes. I really wish that was option. I also wish there was a notification reminder for due dates, that would be really helpful when setting dates for assignments or quizzes. I understand there is notification reminder for flashcards but I am referring to assignment dates. I have tried the print to pdf option but I am having trouble bc it won’t let me do more than one page which is weird.

Another kind of annoying thing is that I have unsubscribed to the notification emails and they keep coming to me. I’m not sure who to contact.

I absolutely ADORE this app!! I’ve been waiting for the mobile app! But the mobile app still needs some work. After working on my laptop this app app and having everything sync, I found that the mobile app was still behind. What is more frustrating is when I logged onto a browser on my phone, this app was perfectly synced. Kinda makes the mobile app a moot pointless… Still a huge fan, just not of the mobile app right now 🫣 I’m hoping the mobile app will be smoother in the future.

I just got a email from AppStore saying it's available!! Downloaded it on my iPad and iPhone in a blink of an eye! Lol. So satisfying to finally being able to use RemNote instead of the freakin web browser. Thank you devs. Y'all killin it ;)

by Uhuluvdisgame

I've been waiting for the release of iOS version of this app and it's way better than I imagined! Thanks for the hardwork developers!

One thing I would like to ask for is that there's no option to export my pdf from goodnotes directly to the this app app. I have this option for notion so I was wondering if it could be done in this app too since I attach my lecture notes as attachment to the notes I make.

Again, thank you so much for the hardwork!

by EfrenXCumo

In short. I love RemNote and the subscription is worth it if it I will be your main note taking tool. You can make flashcards easily as you type notes and the built in spaced repetition is great! 4 stars only because it feels clunky and takes a while to learn the short cuts to make things flow better between notes.

by Christine Thi

I’ve been using this app since around the time it first came out. It improved my studies tremendously in my post bacc program. As a pre dental student — I look forward to continuing using this app. I’ve waited so long (just like everyone) for the release of the ios mobile app and it’s amazing. Very seamless. Also love the desktop app!! Great work this app team!!! Much love as always.

Disclaimer: i’m not a native english speaker so i have some ortographic problems.

I started using remonte since the very first versions on my mac. I don’t really remember where I discovered it but since then it has been the greatest thing in my life. Ever since i discovered rem note my scores inproved and my overall knowledge increased. Im a 3rd year medical student and i have been using this app since the start of my second year. Also, this app is the only app i used for studying for the USMLE exam and i got a really great score. If you want to really do yourself a favor, please download this app.

Using RemNote in combination with the desktop version on MacBook Pro has saved me a lifetime of making Flashcards. The pdf editor in amazing. You can make Flashcards from your notes pretty much instantly. I could not encourage someone to get this amazing tool more. I am a current PA student and it has saved me a ton of time and helped me nail all of my didactic exams! I have never rated an app but this app is worth it. It is a powerhouse application. Way better than anki and quizlet hands down.

Apart from the general concept of the this app eco system being great as a way to host your second brain, I love the simplicity of the new IOS app, basically a copy of the familiar layout in other operating systems.

One of its most useful features is hidden in the ellipsis menu: Read Only Mode.
It is excellent to avoid accidentally entering edit mode—and thereby loosing focus.

Keep it simple, keep it low threshold and this app will continue to be RemNote that is a joy to manage information with.

by Mikcog

Excellent app which has become my go to for flash cards, the free plan is not ad-ridden like others are, and is very functional. My work requires constant study and testing which I’ve found flash cards to be most effective in. Traditional flash cards are effective but take longer to make and don’t have the advantage of the algorithm. Not only that but the portability of having your flash cards with you all the time makes it easy to do some simple review with a few minutes of downtime. It’s proven very effective.

I’ve been using this app for a couple years now and it’s a game changer in studying. Seeing as you can take notes and make flash cards for spaced rep right in the same place, and at the same time. The only thing I was waiting for was when they’d get an app so that I could study with it on the go. Finally RemNote is here! Love it! Kudos to the developers! 🤩

by Kaithedreamer

I am currently a nursing student with a hectic schedule and I cannot tell you enough how this app is key to my studies. The fact that you can take super-personalized notes as you’re making flashcards is an absolutely GENIUS concept, especially when you’re often short on time and still need to remember tons of information. It’s time-saving and extremely effective. The design is also pleasing and easy to learn. Thank you for creating something so amazing. I can only ask that RemNote will remain free and accessible to struggling students like me; and if ever a subscription should be required in the future, please make the price as affordable as you can. Thank you Team this app! 💕

I struggled through attempting to make RemNote because I didn't know it existed. Hands down this is the best app I’ve ever downloaded. Spaced repetition is such a powerful tool to actually build upon your days. this app make it seamless.

by Medcow.ai

RemNote has been an absolute godsend for me! I am in my first year of medical school and all of my exams are lecture based, which makes it difficult to use Anki decks like AnKing. I was really struggling with summarizing the lecture slides, which helps me learn the material, and creating Anki cards afterwards in an efficient manner. I’ve tried so many tools like Notion, Obsidian, and Agenda, and this has been the only app that allows me to do both notes + flashcards at the same time without the hassle, saving me so much time!

by Aluu32

Simple flash card app that gives recommended times for when you should review the cards again.

Though RemNote can’t magically make your grades better, the quality of the flash cards you create will reflect on the outcome of your grades.

by Se1ji@

I LOVE RemNote. It definitely makes flash cards a lot easier lol. Would be better if you add a “speech-to-text” feature. I usually type my notes with my voice when it’s something I need in quick, so that would be great as a new feature :)

by Mji1989

I took a big risk on RemNote. I’m a pilot with thousands of hours of info I need to know I ported it all to rem note and it has made my ability to maintain my knowledge so much easier.

by Kikay3271

HONESTLY AMAZING APP - has saved me so much more time for BOTH taking notes and creating flashcards, especially when I rely so heavily on concept maps, feyman technique, blurting, active recall, and spaced repetition. It has helped reduced the amount of resources I have on my person and honestly, I hope more healthcare students utilize this to the MAX

by Ali Shobber

The update 1.11.6 made RemNote continuously crashing. I could not launch RemNote at all. I am using iPad pro 2021 with OS 16.5.1.
Update:::
The new update 1.11.7 works fine and fixes everything!! Thank you so much this app team.

I was preparing myself for disappointment but I was pleasantly surprised by thr quality of RemNote. It flows smoothly with no complaints. It syncs very well between iphone, ipad, and my pc. keep the good work! I do feel that the subscription is higher than what it should be.

by Pearsonscore1

RemNote brings to life your flash cards and will only get better as time goes on. It’s best to hop on the bandwagon of easy learning and leave Ankis clutter mess behind. This has AI, FSRS scheduling and tons more features to make your learning/RETAINING as intuitive as possible. I’ve found note taking to actually be fun with RemNote! If I could get my whole school to use this I would.

by Moritz134

Flashcards and notes are finally unified in this excelling, fast, and intuitive app. Just substrived to the pro version thought the pree version also does it.

by SamG331_6

I’ve been using this app for a while now on desktop and its been a fantastic experience.

The mobile app really adds to and completes the whole package.

- Seamless syncing of notes between devices
- On-the-go experience for the built in flash cards
- Fantastic UI/UX design

Really makes this a one stop shop for note taking and memory retention.

I personally have no complaints. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot.

by Uwariekachukwu

I really like the ease of use of this app as well as its flashcards. Their support is completely outstanding though. Keep doing what you're doing 👍

by KaterinaAmaraBastille

SO happy to have a mobile app for this app. Now I can do my flashcards while going from class to class :)

by Claire ,

I’ve been waiting for this!!

by Amitmall

Desktop app is much better but ios is good too. Only issue is its little slow to load.
