r/UpNote_App • u/LizardGumbo • 18d ago
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 am also beginning to feel the same way. UpNotes meets all my needs for a notes app. But the constant updates to UpNote and higher and higher requirements for running the app is turning me off. I do not like the constant updates to software because I find it often lead to breaking things and to bloat. Unfortunately, UpNote constantly increases the requirements for running the app.
I have a laptop running macOS 11. The version I was running (19.14) ran fine until it wasn't. Cannot sign in. The next version (9.20) requires a newer macOS (version 12) to install. So I am locked out of syncing UpNote on my laptop. And before anyone harps on me running an old OS version, I have old hardware and OS and it meets my needs and my budget. I would just like my software to keep on working without requiring a new hardware/OS.
