Kilonotes Reviews & Ratings

4.5/5

“Motivating but Needs Balance”

It makes taking notes feel motivating and personal. It is really inspiring, but I have found that I concentrate too much on the bits I enjoy and overlook other crucial ones.

Pros : Seeing yourself write down in first person can be motivational since you are writing down your thoughts and reflections.

Cons : I sometimes overemphasize parts of the content than I am personally interested in and end up neglecting other sections.

Switched from : Noteshelf

Reason to switch : I needed something that felt more personal and reflective. Kilonote delivered just that.

4.5/5

“Easy to Write but Takes a Bit More Time”

Writing notes in Kilonotes feels so natural to me. It is like having a friendly conversation with myself. Although it is simpler to keep interested, the notes take a little longer than a simple fact list because they are more reflective.

Pros : It feels more natural to write notes down in first person, which makes the notetaking process easier.

Cons : It can take more time to write down since it is coming from an introspective place rather than just facts.

Switched from : Notepad Plus

Reason to switch : Notepad Plus was good for quick notes, but Kilonotes helps me dive deeper.

4.5/5

“Focused but Sometimes Too Personal”

I appreciate that Kilonotes allows me to write in the first person, which helps me stay focused on what matters. However, when it becomes a little too personal, I occasionally get carried away and forget the major ideas.

Pros : It sets a clear focus on what is relevant to you since you are writing them in first person.

Cons : Since it is meant for first person notes, it gets too personal and can stray from the main points.

Switched from : Todoist

Reason to switch : I moved from Todoist since I wanted more than just task management.

4.3/5

“Perfect for Personal Growth but Not for Collaboration”

Kilonotes' flexibility is great for long-term study because it allows my notes to evolve. However, because my first-person style comes out as too casual to others, it is not the best for collective projects.

Pros : It is flexible as first-person notes evolve as your understanding of the topic changes. This is great for long-term learning.

Cons : It is harder to collaborate and work in a group. If others need to look at your notes, the first person can come across as too informal.

Switched from : Samsung Notes

Reason to switch : Samsung Notes did not let me update my notes in a way that matched my understanding of the subject.

4.3/5

“Casual and Conversational but Sometimes Too Relaxed”

Using Kilonotes makes learning more enjoyable and interesting because it is like having a conversation with myself about the subject. But occasionally I become too informal and neglect academic information.

Pros : It is like having a conversation with yourself about the topic.

Cons : Sometimes it can be too casual which makes me leave out certain essential information or academic details needed for certain topics.

Switched from : S Note

Reason to switch : I moved from S Note to Kilonote since Kilonote gives me freedom to explore ideas in my own voice.

4.2/5

“Fun and Personalized but Can Get Messy”

Cons : The structure however can get disorganized writing in first person, especially when you are in a rush.

Cons : It is not for the people who find first person writing not as effective as a notetaking style.
