Forcing unsecured storage – Bear - Markdown Notes Review

I wanted this app strictly for encrypted notes that no one can see simply by just opening up my notes app and going through everything. Setting a password requires a subscription to the Pro version of Bear. Already not liking that it’s a subscription for a simple note app. To make it worse, they won’t allow even paying for a sub without mandatory iCloud and iCloud Drive access. I don’t want my info in the cloud, period. I want it locally saved on my device with encryption. Putting my notes in the cloud opens them up for potential to be hacked, stolen, or even subpoenaed since you’re putting your data into a 3rd parties hands. No thanks. This app is not security focused. Uninstalled.
