Notes by BlackBerry for Android
It's OK, not as good as the BB10 version where you can create folders and subfolders, got very confusing on how I organized it.
I'd like it if it would allow DejaOffice as an account option the way the Blackberry Calendar app does.
Love the simplicity of this app it does just what I need easy to create lists and easy to edit would love to see this app with a dark theme!!! Then it would truly be a 5 star
It's a simple app however I wish there was a full screen option. The size of the dialog is so small to start with.
Notes dissappear randomly! Don't use!
I need voice memo in this app.
I honestly don't have Microsoft active sync account. Is it so hard to add some cloud based sync? If blackberry can't afford their own servers to store users info, can you at least add Dropbox or Google Drive? I would not mind even to just have a folder with text files that I can back up myself.
One freaking word: HORRIBLE!!!!!!! The notes I took for a whole week, are GONE! I'm really pissed! Edited to add: updating doesn't seem to help much, if at all. Some notes still disappeared. Can't find a reason why nor am I able to duplicate what lead to the problem. Nevertheless, I'm not using this app any longer.
Wastes a ridiculous amount of space. They could get the titles of 20-30 notes on one screen if they didn't surround each note with excess white space as though it is a post it note or filing card. Rubbish design.
It's not up to BlackBerry's usual standard. It doesn't sync with Outlook web version like the Tasks App (which is great!). Come on BlackBerry - pull your finger out - it can't be that difficult to set up, surely!?
Had hoped I could sync with Outlook Notes via AkrutoSync, but they insist not (I thought it was simply Exchange Activesync) so not working for my needs. Will have to use Evernote.
Horrible. Moved to a KeyOne and I cannot find anything now that I'm on the Android as it searches the entire note and not just the title. It's impossible to search. I have over 300 notes of information I store and it's pretty much lost in a sea of letters now that the earth function has been changed/not working properly on android
Worthless. I spent a lot time writing notes and it deleted everything without my action or permission. The blackberry 7 app was way better
Nearly half of the screen for my keyboard and then almost one third of the screen for the header of the note at hand!? Not productive at all. I would like to see my notes, please...
This note app is rubbish, I had my notes for more than one year , 10 days ago I realised that all my notes are disappeared, I tried several times to recover my notes but unfortunately I couldn't. blackberry dose not care about its customer, I emailed them several times but nobody answered me . I was using I phone and my notes was save .
This truly is garbage. I can't sync it easily with anything, and when I had to reinstall Gmail, it wiped out every single note. No way to get it back, apparently. Thanks, BlackBerry!
Almost useless, what a royal mess. No way to restore notes from previous device with categories, no syncing with outlook desktop. What is the damn sense? No way to edit notes with desk top. I love love BlackBerry but what on earth is this almost useless app? BlackBerry should be shame for putting it's name on that and the task app. Shame shame shame.
Previous Blackberry notes was better. I wish when you pull up a note it would cover the full screen and as you type items continue to scroll down as you type. With this one if you are typing at the bottom of your list, it doesn't show you unless you continually scroll up by sliding the text up with your finger. I also wish that the main page could be just the title of the notes rather than all the little boxes of notes. But I do not see a setting for this.
It's nice and simple, works well. Just missing some essential features. As others have said, sync to Google Drive or even a specific device folder/sd card. Widget for the home screen. There are others, but I would make it my main notes app with these two features (especially a sync or backup option).
Very useful. I hope it can turn into a transparent widget. It would be nice. So far, it do the things that it was made for. 5 star.
Used to work well but lately the virtual keyboard covers up the bottom of the input so you can't see what you're entering. No option selection to see if there is something in there regarding auto scroll up as typing.
Does not work with MS Exchange or even BlackBerry Hub+. Services. This is a "local notes" only application without the ability to sync with anything.
Would be nice if it had Evernote integration like remember app on bb10 would have made migration a lil smoother
It was better on the BB10 platform. You were able to add file folders and voice recordings.
Lost all notes for no reason with hours worked on. Useless
The content of my password note just disappeared!
Everything great but we can't change notes color ! Like googke keep. And it's very important! :(
Not as a as their BlackBerry 10 app, particularly as it doesn't allow you to create folders to better enable organisation of notes.
Who ll pay 65pm for using this product. There are many free apps. Rip BlackBerry. Nice planning by your marketing team to bury BlackBerry forever.
Can you share where is the folder in device memory to be copied to new device? Bought a Keyone, need to transfer from Priv
Should be able to sync with Google too. Not everybody has an outlook account. Also, no settings option
It would be better if you could view in list format like previous versions of BlackBerry Notes.
Won't sync with multiple exchange ActiveSync accounts. Need a way to force a resync for accounts that use exchange ActiveSync.
You loose all your data when you go out of the app.
full of bugs. keep loosing my notes!!
Missing the writing starting from the right. Switch the writing start.
Can't transfer to new BlackBerry device.
All permissions required.
I'd like to give this app 5 stars, cause I loved it, but I updated the app 2016-09-10 and all my notes are gone.... I thought it was annoying when I lost an update... this is WAY worse... BB - what a mess! There is no back up.... no mattervwhat they say, this app is not backed up... talk about a fail... I wouldn't recommend the Priv to anyone and will likely go back to my Q10 since they can't seem to fix what they broke.... BB should be embarrased, I'm actually debating an iphone, after 5 BB phones...

It would be nice if you could set your view as "Tags" rather than just "Notes". This way you'll go to the " Tag" you want and open a new note which should be automatically "Tagged". Just speed things up have all Tags on one screen. It's a simple app which could be tweaked to make note taking easier.
