Defter Notes ver 2.0 is uses iCloud sync. In earlier versions your data was stored offline on your own device. In any version, we don’t have any access to any of your data.

Test Flight beta versions will automatically expire in 90 days and you won’t be able to use it anymore. If you delete the app or if you stop testing, your data will be deleted from your device. Please contact us before your testing period expires so that we can provide you with details about backing up your data and can give you extra time for exporting or saving your files if needed.

Defter Notes is created by a small team based in Denmark and it is fairly priced to sustain its independent creators rather than competing with large international corporations. It is currently available on the App Store as a freemium app with in-App-Purchase options. Previously it was a one-time paid download, and after a lot of requests, we introduced a 3 day free trial with version 2.0. To keep using DN you can choose between monthly or yearly subscription or choose the one time purchese option.
