This app piqued my interest; It was a suggested app on Facebook. I decided to download it. Setup seemed simple enough. Then the waiting began…
After selecting a Note to read, you are sent to that Notes description page. The Read Notestream button is right there, but it is disabled until the Notes description Loading… completes. When it is eventually enabled, a quick tap brings up the Downloading…overlay once again. Whats next? A dialogue box asking, Go Explore? or Get Started?
I had no intention of reading any notes today, but Im forced to wait for one to download before I can browse for others. Then, when Im back to browsing, Im sent back to the top of the Newest category, instead of resuming where I left off.
It would be nice if I could just scroll down the list, check any Notes of interest, and download them all at once.
Ill update this review after using the app further.

Update:
Basically a Stream is a story and each Note is a chapter. Each note is one to three paragraphs in length or a photo. This app is highly reminiscent of clickbait click-through websites. I wonder when they plan to integrate the advertising…
I suppose I was expecting each stream to be a specific topic and each note to be a relevant addition from separate authors.
I still have not given up on NoteStream.
