Hi, I’m Ashley — the voice behind Tried and Noted.
I started this site because I was tired of wading through fake reviews and sponsored fluff just to find out if a product was actually worth buying. Sound familiar?
Tried and Noted is where I share honest, real-world reviews of tech, software, and home products that I’ve personally researched and tested. Whether it’s the latest productivity app, a smart home gadget, or a kitchen tool that promises to change your life — I’ll tell you if it actually delivers.
What You’ll Find Here
I cover two areas I’m genuinely passionate about: tech and software (apps, gadgets, tools that make life easier) and lifestyle and home (everything from kitchen gear to home office setups). Every recommendation comes from real research, real comparisons, and real opinions.
How This Site Works
Transparency matters to me. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them — at no extra cost to you. This is how I keep the site running and the reviews coming. I never recommend something just because it pays well. If it’s not good, I’ll tell you.
Thanks for being here. I hope Tried and Noted helps you spend smarter and skip the duds.
