App summary

Notepad is a small and fast notetaking app for making notes, memos, or just any plain text content. Features:
* simple interface that most of the users find easy to use
* no limits on note's length or number of notes (of course there's a limit to phone's storage)
* creating and editing text notes
* importing notes from txt files, saving notes as txt files
* sharing notes with other apps (e.g. sending a note by email)
* notes widget allowing to quickly create or edit notes, working like post it notes (stick a memo to home screen)
* backup function for saving and loading notes from a backup file (zip file)
* app password lock
* color themes (including dark theme)
* note categories
* automatic note saving
* undo/redo changes in notes
* lines in background, numbered lines in a note
* technical support
* search function that can quickly find text in notes
* unlock app with biometrics (e.g. fingerprint or face recognition)

It may be obvious, but notes in the app can be used in many ways. For example as a to do list to increase productivity. A sort of digital planner to store shopping list or to organize the day. Notes can be put on the home screen as reminders. Each task could be stored in a seperate note or one big todo note could be used.

** Important **
Please remember to make a backup copy of notes before formatting a phone or buying a new phone. Since the 1.7.0 version the app will also use phone's device copy, if it's turned on in the device's and the app's settings.

* Why do I advise to not install the app on an SD card?
I follow the official advice to block installing on an SD card apps that use widgets. This app uses widgets, which are like icons for the notes, and can be placed on a phone's home screen (for example).

Latest update introduced some issues when editing a word. The highlight color (very dark gray) makes it impossible to see the error in the word. The highlight also stays on when trying to correct it and the suggested word is mostly unrelated. Probably an ai assistant related issue...

This app is absolutely phenomenal and I have been using it for years and years. But an issue happened today on Saturday November 2nd 2024 when I opened the app around 11:11 am and it said it has an Error and to "Click to contact technical support" on each note. I clicked it and it didn't work. All the notes I have say this message. I'm sure your system has the data saved of all of my notes just like with everyones so I would like to have access to mine again ! Thanks For Your Help !

I'm impressed! Easy to use; and all the editing functions are included. Very intuitive ... Superior to any of the others I've used. One quick suggestion … In settings / sort, add the option to sort by category. That's the only thing I can imagine that would make the app more perfect than it already is 🩵.
