Nextcloud Notes Reviews

by U.C. 2

When service is intermittent you will lose note data. For example traveling through an area with poor reception.

This software is entirely reliant on a connection which is a major design flaw. Notes should be saved locally with a unique tag (such as QOwnNotes does) and then sync and remove tag when available.

Instead this software periodically syncs your note to the cloud which is pointless. In a browser this makes sense. On an application, it makes no sense.

I encourage the developer to better the synchronization to allow note taking without connection to the server. For now a massive ring will prevent notes until some net connection is established.

This is totally unreliable and the same as using the phone's browser to connect online.

edit: Just add a Safari shortcut to your home screen from your notes website. Works just as well.

Waste of $2, it connects to my NextCloud install but just 401s when trying to do anything.

Please update this!

Major regression in 1.7 that makes it perilous to create a new note. I saw duplicates and crashing.

App fails to sync notes, which is presumably its main purpose

Not works with my owncloud 7 + ownnote setup

It should save locally and then sync later when it can connect. It just deletes your notes. Lost important data without warning.

I bought NextcloudNotes over a year ago and have never been able to install NextcloudNotes on my OwnCloud server (self-hosted or otherwise) therefore can’t connect to it on my iPhone. That’s extremely disappointing after paying even this small amount for an app.

Now, I can’t install OwnNotes on OwnCloud at all because it’s deprecated and considered a security risk.

Find something else. Don’t bother with NextcloudNotes.

I can see notes I've created on my laptop but I get an error when I try to create a new note through NextcloudNotes . I paid for it so you'd think it would work

Good UI layout. Poor quality. Lots of errors creating, updating, and deleting notes.

Does not see the ownnotes app on my OC 8.1 server.

Been using NextcloudNotes on a nexus device until recently. Had connection issues at first but used the /index.php fix and haven’t had problems since. I would give it 5 stars if the iOS app supported check boxes like the android app. Love being able to use my own hosted services.

Thank you for the update to support markdown and Nextcloud.

Author responds quickly to support requests too. Using QOwnNotes on Linux, and, NextcloudNotes on IOS, everything stays in sync. I converted all my notes from Simplenote so I could host my own notes for privacy reasons. I don't like relying on cloud services where someone else has the data.

Been using this off and on for over a year now. When I first starting using it, it was a bit dated but it has really come along well with the push of updates. 👍👍

NextcloudNotes has come a long way since it started! I hope that Peter continues to make improvements and maintain NextcloudNotes --so far this is the only way to connect your iPhone to the ownCloud Notes section on your server. It is fast and relatively bug-free at this point. I initially found the setup instructions to be a bit incomplete--a small FAQ would be useful--but once I got it going I've had no issues. Thank you, Peter, for a good app--keep it coming! :)

I like the format but it loads notes extremely slow.

The developer is very responsive and fixed an issue i was having. Thanks for making a great notes app!
