HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (140 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Missing features8%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The interface feels unnecessarily complicated, and its lack of intuitiveness is a major barrier to productivity.
★★★★★ App print is gray on white background, lacks sufficient contrast to be easily read.
★★★★★ There is no way to revert to previous versions (unless you MANUALLY export your notes and save them every time you want a backup).
Crashes and freezes5%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ App crashes, and customer support is via only email next day.
★★★★★ Unfortunately Bear 2 runs a conversion process on your notes the first time you open it and in my case it only makes it partway before freezing.
★★★★★ It just hangs and freezes all the time .
Slow, laggy, battery5%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Honestly would rather go back to apple notes if wasn't so slow on my older device.
★★★★★ Used to be my favourite note taking app, but now the selection tool is wonky and everything lags terribly.
★★★★★ Why is everything so slow?
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Please make other apps. 5★, Jul 17, 2026
  • Finally, but not an issue of this app at all and not affecting its rating, would the developers PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE make a Windows app, or at least a web app I could use on Windows? 4★, Feb 20, 2026
  • I want to be able to drag around todo list items. 4★, Feb 5, 2026
  • I wish the devs would add integration with the native iOS apps, especially the calendar and reminders. 5★, Nov 19, 2025
  • I wish the pencil icon next to external links could be disabled. 4★, Nov 3, 2025
  • It would be nice if users could adjust the primary action that appears in the menu. 4★, Nov 3, 2025
  • I just wish it had an archive option — sometimes I want to hide older notes without deleting them or cluttering my daily tags. 4★, Nov 2, 2025
  • It would be nicer if it were hidden or moved to the bottom. 4★, Nov 2, 2025

one thing that bugs me

i like the app and that it's free to use, but i just do not like how words/sentences are presented in note previews. it just looks rather...unprofessional? it's most notable when i write my recipes in bullet order. instead of subhighlighting the first word/s in the preview like what apple notes does, it tries to fit most of what i wrote instead without accounting for the bullet points. i know i can turn this off by setting the preview to small, but i like having my notes be visible :( i just don't want them to look so garbled. hopefully this can be fixed in the future!

Windows bug

I’ve been using this app for over 3 years, I love it. It works just fine on Mac. Recently, I got a PC and I moved my workspace there. There is a webpage version of this app but it doesn’t sync right. I was writing on my PC yesterday for all night and I woke up today check the same file on my phone. BOOM, nothing is there, nothing got saved. And the worst part is, the website will auto sync to the phone no matter what. Which means it will erase whatever I wrote on the website and go back to the old version of the file on my phone. ISN’T THIS STUPID? 这个软件真的哪里都好，就是这个在windows上跟mac的sync会出问题。不会即时同步，总是会以mac的版本为准。导致在windows上写的东西存不下来，一刷新就消失。又因为这个丢了一次东西，web到底怎么回事。

★★★★★Sep 21, 2026
My Teddy BEAR!

This app has so many features that allow you to organize info under appropriate headers, and sub-headers! Once you get the hang of it you’ll have a cleanly organized listing of your data. > You will likely find yourself resetting the hierarchy of data in order to keep it organized in the area(s) where it belongs — otherwise you’ll find data under the correct Headers but in several locations. 🔅With patience & time you can organize it into a clean collection of your data.

★★★★★Sep 16, 2026
LOVE this app

I’m a big notes guy, and used to always just use the Notes app from Apple, but one day I needed to just scribble a drawing to get my point across and couldn’t do it, found this app and the rest is history. Everything from the super clean interface, to the quick and efficient way to jot down notes and label them with hashtags to help categorize things - it’s seamless and honestly, one of the quickest subscriptions ive ever paid for. I use it daily, if not hourly

Just keeps getting better

Love Bear, love everything about it. And the recent addition of mermaid and workspace as tags just keep making it better. It truly is a dream app.
