Secure Notepad Reviews

Please people, wake up and smell the roses. The only thing SecureNotepad has is a password to protect your notes from others.

There is no mention in either SecureNotepad ’s description or or developer’s site on how the notes are secured.

Unless SecureNotepad uses ASE of a minimum of 128bits, preferably 256 bits, encryption and/or other technologies to keep your password and notes safe, anyone with a bit of know how can open and view them.

To say that something os secure but not specify how it is secured, is like a doctor telling you that she needs to give you a shot but not tell you why and for what. It would be nothing more or less than blind trust. Can you trust someone that much? Not me!

Unless the security type and level is specified and tested, this and any other app is completely useless.

Similarly, even if SecureNotepad had the strongest security possible, people using passwords that are considered strong, defeats the whole purpose. Sadly, that is exactly what people do the bast majority of the time.

If your phone gets hacked, SecureNotepad is worthless.
Twice, my written down password didn’t work. The secret questions were changed to something bizarre that I couldn’t even relate to, let alone answer.
Deleted and re-downloaded just now for the third time. Will update review in the near future.
To be fair, if it’s due to an OS exploit, then none of the passwords I type in are secure. We’ll see if it’s more secure in iOS 11.1
Disappointed about the 3 messages only or $3.00. Overpriced...this is a very simple app that should be free or at most .99 cents. There are hundreds (conservatively) of Apps on SecureNotepad Store that are immensely more comprehensive than this very simple app...that are FREE. It probably took less lines of codes to write it than are in this review.

To the devs, I have PRO. Paid for it years ago. It was always fine until recently. It’s all GONE!!!!!!

Download SecureNotepad if you want to lose every note you ever put in here. I paid for off site storage, but there is nothing there!

Not only did my phone app not sync with my iPad. After i deleted and reinstalled SecureNotepad it lost all my info AND ALL MY NOTES. Went to my iPad, however the most recent notes are not synced from my phone. I’m not the only one with this issue and it looks like the devs don’t give a hoot. I paid for SecureNotepad to lose all my stuff!!!!

I cannot believe how many notes app developers think any kind of rich text is unnecessary. Why‽ I’ve been using the native Apple Notes happily until a corrupted file started causing it to crash. I’m hoping to move my files over to something that works as well- manually, apparently- until I delete the corrupted file(s) and then find a way to export them en mass. Unfortunately a lot of things stand in my way:
1. surprisingly few notes apps use Markdown so whoops- there goes my formatting
2. My notes aren’t imported so *sigh*, I have to laboriously copy and paste every stinking URL and photo and video or audio clip
3. Nesting inside of nesting apparently doesn’t mean a basic outline
4. I can’t export my files from notes- sometimes the destination app won’t show up anywhere on any "save to" list no matter what
5. Security? Trust me. No one is trying get into my notes. I encrypt what’s necessary and even that’s probably overkill.

Folks- have redundant systems for your passwords and security questions. I won’t tell you how but there’s a lot of ways to do it. Have redundant information and photo storage too- those can easily roll over and around each other. Storage is so cheap there’s no reason to have only one set of your photos, for example. Heck. Twitter is a mess- thank you Elon. Anything could be.

I think SecureNotepad is amazing, I have ppl that enjoy looking through my phone so this definitely helps a bunch. Only thing I’d like is if all your notes could save after you delete SecureNotepad . I had switch phones and some of my apps didn’t transfer including this one. I lost all of the notes I had on here. It upset me a bunch because I had a lot of things in there that I can barely remember as of right now. So for the future, I would like to see something (if possible of course) that keeps all notes after deleting SecureNotepad . Thank you for reading this, have a good day.

This is what I needed. I created a set of info that I needed on my iPad and am very happy with the results. BUT, I must say that I became extremely disappointed when I realized that the information I had entered in Secure Notepad did not transfer to my iPhone’s Secure Notepad. I need it in both iPad and iPhone for my use. Can you creat an update that would accomplish this to happen? All other apps’s information that is entered in either my iPad or iPhone transfers. Please correct this problem!

I don’t have much experience with SecureNotepad. However, for the amount of time I used it and had it, it seems to be going just fine. I mostly like how you can have a passcode so that no one sees what you are writing. But I do wish there were more features like make it look nice or something of that short. I have a friend who used her password but it didn’t work and her security question was bizarre and hard to answer. But as long as you don’t forget your password you will be fine.

Just kidding. I'm kinda salty that I only get to write 3 notes until I have to pay, and I have already reached the limit. But I really don't care so I'm going to cram things into the same chapter, so hopefully my fanfic will be much organized.

I love the lock feature along with the delay, so I can choose what ever, when ever. Also, one thing that I really wanted was a theme changer, so like you could have colors like gray instead of red.

I very much enjoy SecureNotepad and appreciate that it’s very simple to use. I also think that one lifetime payment of $2.99 for an unlimited amount of notes is hardly anything to fret over for those of us who will definitely need and use more than 3 notes.

But SecureNotepad could definitely do with more formatting features, like being able to put words in italics or bold, for example. Also, the ability to transfer notes onto another phone when you switch. You can export notes as of right now, but it’s not the same. It’d be nice if you could actually log in to SecureNotepad on different phones and still be able to access your saved notes.

But I have no complaints besides that. I still enjoy the simplicity of SecureNotepad .

Would be great to have a couple simple additions:
1.) A numeric password option on the large numeric native Apple screen for quicker input.
2.) Ability to emphasize words as is possible with Apple’s native notepad. (Bold, larger font, italics) This assists in droves with visual organization and content flow. It also helps for cutting and copying from the native notepad.

Great, simple app which keeps private thoughts from people who have your password or access to your phone. Kids, spouses, etc.. I recommend.

I love it. I really love it. It’s really cool and it keeps all my safe. I started writing all my stuff in there because it like locks after every 30 seconds and I can just get some privacy because of my family is always going through my stuff, and I hate it when they go through my other stuff. And they find some of my personal stuff in here they won’t find nothing so I really love SecureNotepad. There is some downs. It should be every time you get off SecureNotepad but so far I loving it.

I love SecureNotepad, it does its job very well. The only two things: if you want to have secure notes, you can probably do it much cheaper. After you make three, it costs $9.99 if you want the unlimited. Also, on my old phone I had notes that I deleted and wanted to restore, but I couldn’t because I didn’t pay for the unlimited. If you click “restore deleted notes” it restores the most recently deleted one, so I couldn’t just delete my current ones and restore the old ones first. Otherwise, it works.

I got SecureNotepad, because it was highly rated and had just a small one time fee. I needed to replace Dashlane, which was about to change a monthly fee for secure notes, which was the only part of SecureNotepad I used, so Secure Notepad fit the bill. I only wish I could sync my notes between iPad (where I entered all my notes) and my iPhone. Not sure what I will do to resolve that.

Not only does it have a password remember question but it has facial I’d as well. When I got a new iPhone and did a transfer all info was recreated for my new iPhone. Unfortunately it doesn’t do it from a iPhone back up to a new iPod, or at least I haven’t figured out how to do it. It’s still a great program for keep your information safe.

I NEVER write reviews but SecureNotepad has been amazing! It’s simple to use and has not only a password, but also a security question in case you forget. They cherry on top is that it can all be accessed with Touch ID. SecureNotepad is much easier to navigate than many other hidden notes apps such as calculator plus. SecureNotepad is very deserving of its five star ratings and high reviews. 10/10 would recommend.

Exactly what I was looking for as far as privately trying to secure my notes such as passwords and other private info. This is absolutely it. You have to constantly sign in which I like, also your notes are not shown just the title until clicked on, which a lot of apps do not do. All around great

I use this for my google passwords which I don’t like to put in regular notes app because I don’t trust SecureNotepad or their lock I also set my hint to something nobody would guess but me cause it’s so random,LOL so thanks for SecureNotepad and allowing all users to have some privacy on there phone no matter what you use SecureNotepad for you will love it!

I’m in awe of how well SecureNotepad keeps my passwords secure & how impenetrable that security is. I’ve used other “notes” apps. MANY of them. This BY FAR exceeds in security, ease of use & makes it easier for the user to get in to unlock it if a password is forgotten. BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED. 5 stars? Pffft. Personally I’d be insulted. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️10 STARS!! (5 up top already) just sayin. ✌️P.S. These “morons” giving SecureNotepad bad ratings must be EXACTLY that. Morons. It’s a NOTES APP. Not Fort Knox! Try not forgetting your passwords FIRST! Geezus. 🙄

It makes me less anxious because I don’t have to worry about my family members going through my phone and stumbling across private things in my phone. So I don’t have to worry about it I can choose my own password and I don’t need to have a password that requires a maximum amount of numbers or letters.

Set a password, security question, write notes. Simple as that. Works well, automatically locks whenever you leave. Might not be worth $3 for some people but you can just make a few categories and expand on each of those notes instead of lots of individual ones.
