Transparent Notes Reviews

by Muay Thai Warrior

Yet another developer with questionable business acumen. When will developers, particularly independant developers, understand the importance of sensible pricing models?

As of the time of this review, $99 USD for lifetime ownership. That would be ten years worth of updates. Considering how quickly technology changes, it would be unwise to purchase ten years of updates in advance.

Furthering that point, the developer is clearly disconnected with the realitive of his target audience. Based upon the collection of reviews, it's clear TransparentNotes appeals to students, whom are less likely to have disposable funds -- hence the reason more business saavy individuals offer student pricing. Something clearly missed by the dev of TransparentNotes.

Want my advice, either stick with the free version or seek other note taking options such as Tot or FiveNotes. TransparentNotes is too limited in features and practical use to invest beyond the free version.

Basic economic principles suggest consumers drive cost. It is up to us consumers to drive down cost by not spending unwisely. In my opinion, it would be unwise to spend what's being asked for such limited product. Do NOT purchase or subsribe until the dev provides more sensible pricing model.

TransparentNotes claims to save every so often but this doesn't work if the computer reboots. I have been working on my spanish midterm using this in combination with word. My laptop died in a presentation and my entire midterm vanished. All four days of work I had put into it. Would not buy again. Use Quick Note it comes with three note sections on the free version and can also be transparent if needed.

In what world is a sticky note app worth $100 a year? lol

by Codemusings

I don't like how the user can't change the font size themselves. Yes the current size is readable but there is no option to make it larger/smaller. I understand if other styling options such as bullets/font color/font style are only included in the pro version but font size is something that should come in the basic version.

I love TransparentNotes . I like being able to read something and take notes right over it. It is a great tool to use in a virtual interview. I just wish it offered more in the free version to test out what I would be purchasing. It is expensive. If it wasn't so expensive I would purchase it.

Easy to use but it doesn't float on top when you toggle between screens. I normally have my screen split and am looking for a quick note tab that I can keep quick notes all on one screen (allow me to have a full screen split plus my note on top) right now it only works with floating on a main screen.

Good app, works well for Zoom interviews.

Dumb that you have to pay $10/month for more than one section of notes.

Not everything has to be a subscription.

by Reniq234

My laptop shut down on me, I couldn’t get the charger to work, so I had to use my iPad.
I was unable to log into my Transparent account, I was being prompted to take another annual Premium subscription, when my current annual premium subscription is not used up.
Even when I contacted Transparent, I got no help, I was told I should have saved my entries on cloud. I don’t remember reading anything like that when I subscribed for TransparentNotes .
They really need to let people know that you can lose all the information you have and that you can’t log back into your account. I’m very disappointed, I’ve lost very important information I need and can’t ever access again.
Not nice.

Its really easy and self explanatory to use. The only thing I would like it to have is more customization options to highlight certain text or use two or more color options.

App could uses some notifications like: bold text, colored text, underlining text etc. But overall one of the best apps I have ever used for taking notes in class or just for a presentation.

by Red Wing Nut

Title says it, but one thing I'd like to see is a way to make the font in a note be variable. Be good to have bold, underline, and underline, as well as a couple size differences.

by Sourcefedsarah

Works well but would love if there was an option to have seperate notes on different windows

by AWW1322

Would be more inclined to buy the pro version if it wasn't $100....

I love this concept, just wish i could divide my notes into different subjects

by Lucky Star_1

Sometimes, I think I might forget something important to say in an interview and I have transparent note to reassure myself.

by Mackenzyelainexx

I use TransparentNotes during my zoom classes and I also use it when I need to take notes while reading but do not want to keep flipping the pages. Highly recommend for high school and college students

by Daviankrystal

I saw a video about TransparentNotes on tik tok and I got the extension for my laptop for when I have to record speeches and read at the same time. I like how many options there are and its a great app

TransparentNotes made learning coding so much easier on my mac desktop. I know other people will think so, whatever their learning.

Love how I can control how I see it. I always use this when I'm building/working on websites.

by Otacilia Sturaro

The application is easy and helps a lot in productivity. It is practical and very functional to help you. I recommend!

I like using TransparentNotes during presentations or use it when i want to collect information from multiple tabs and i don't want to go back and forth. Litterally a life saver

by Zekezamri92

I do ton of presentation and meetings online and this is a lifesaver so I can be confident and be able to provide great attention to my audience.

by Fluff Legit Mateo

TransparentNotes does exactly what I need it to do--hold my presentation outline on my screen while I present my screen virtually. The tools are easy to use, with very simple functionality, but it serves its purpose impeccably.

by Jmayavieyra

keeps my notes for class easy to follow without getting in the way, for a free app this is such a steal

by Demi Swift

It helps me a lot during my interviews and presentations. It looks like I'm starring at my powerpoint slides, but I'm not

by Fernando Bernall

I'm an online health coach, and having a list of questions for my client without breaking eye contact is very important.. TransparentNotes makes that very possible..
