I've been using this app for years and I've always loved it but recently my needs changed and I needed the premium benefits, so I went to sign up and I was literally SHOCKED at the prices. I think I paid like $20 for a year on my Journaling app, so I was expecting something like that. Maybe $20 a year or $1.99 a month or something like that. But no. It's $20 a month!! More than I pay for my streaming services! You are literally STUPID if you think I'm paying that! I'll just switch apps!

Hi Vanessa, sorry to hear that. Prices start at $6/month for the Lite plan (or discounted to $5/month if you choose yearly billing). It sounds like you may have selected the most expensive plan (the Plus plan) in your case. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us: support@inkpadnotepad.com

I've had to edit my review. What once was 5 stars is now a 1. It used to be fast, clean, and simple: perfect for a quick notes app. Now, it's cluttered with huge ads, buttons trying to get me to use ai, and limited number of syncs. I used to like the app enough to buy it, but there's no option to pay one, reasonable price, the cheapest option is $60 PER YEAR. I'm going to migrate my notes and uninstall. tl;dr Free version is borderline unusable, and paid version is ridiculously expensive

Hi Stephen, sorry to hear that. Larger companies are able to offer apps for free without ads that pull users into their ecosystem where they can charge them or show ads elsewhere. To stay in business, we have to earn our keep directly from Inkpad itself (the cheapest subscription is actually $6/month or $60/year, and supports an indie app company).

Update to their response: I understand the need for ads. This app has had ads for years and they've never been a problem for me. Now, they're just obnoxiously large and interfere with easy usage of the app (probably to pay for AI integration nobody asked for). Also, the app (or AI?) is now reading through my notes to figure out what to advertise to me? Creepy. Just creepy. You've lost a years-long user. I'm currently working on moving my notes to something else and then I'm uninstalling.

We'd love to offer Inkpad for free without ads, but app/server maintenance costs require ads, it's the only way we can offer it for free and still stay in business. To remove ads entirely (and support indie app developers), an upgrade is always appreciated! To clarify: Notes aren't used by AI to produce ads. support@inkpadnotepad.com for questions.
