We analyzed this app across 3 independent signals and corroborated nothing unfair. That is a signal, not an audit.
This analysis describes version 3.47.1 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 3.47.1, updated 2026-09-18.
What the analysis found
One source only — shown, not confirmed 3
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Aggressive ad load
HORRIBLE — Ever since the new updates this app its basically no longer free. There are so many adds now; and got a limitation on how many notes I can add to my library. I originally had paid a life time subscription when that came out and…
Too many ads — Decent interface, but ads make it impossible to use. I deleted after 15 minutes, can’t even test if I like the app before paying because of the ads.
Full of Ads — I thought I found a cheaper alternative. Well the ads while taking notes wouldn’t go away.
Paywall blocks the basics
Money hungry — Used to love this app, and you used to be able to download as many things as you wanted to. Now you have to pay? That’s crazy, I would pay of it was for new features, but for something that was free before. Nah. Disappointing
Not worth it — Used to be able to make as many notebooks/notes as I want with different layers now the main function of this stupid app is locked behind a pay wall. Great!
Playing video ads is absurd — I understand locking some features behind a paywall. I understand maybe static ads when not taking notes. What I don’t understand are VIDEO ads when closing a note or opening one up. It’s ridiculous…
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
