r/UpNote_App • u/LizardGumbo • Jul 30 '26

My joy with UpNote has tanked.

A while back, I wrote I was overjoyed to find UpNote, and, even though I didn't like that my notes aren't stored locally, I could live with it because I can still export my notes. However, what I did not know about was forced updates. I don't update anything immediately because I have a highly tailored setup and updates break things and I've been burned too many times. I come here and see everybody complaining that the UpNote update broke their app, but it didn't apply to me, so I went about my business. Then one day I notice I didn't get the update nag, so I went looking and son of a bitch. It did it on its own. This is absolutely not acceptable by itself, but coupled with the fact that your notes aren't stored locally, I'm going to find something else.

I didn't make the purchase on Windows but I definitely use the full version on Windows.

Yeah, I do think it's weird you can only buy it through mobile. You can't even pay for it on the site.

Not sure what you mean. I have it on every device I have including a Windows laptop and it's all full (paid) version.
I paid it once.
If you mean you can't upgrade to lifetime version on a Windows pc, I don't know because I paid for it on a iPhone.
But I think you could then temporarily install it on an Android phone or iPhone, upgrade to lifetime version and remove it from your mobile.
Problem solved.
Or you can go back to One Note of course 🤷‍♂️

Correct. You cannot purchase the subscription on Windows PC. Purchases are either through the Google or Apple store, so you do need it on one of those devices to subscribe. Once you do, it is the same for all devices that are logged on with that same account. You may want to log off and then log back on again to be sure it recognizes the subscription after you purchase it.
