User reviews

I press backup, the app says "backup created successfully" and then shows a list of other apps I can share it to. I don't see an option to put the backup on my phone's storage, or any indication of where it might be stored already. The store page says the app allows for offline backups so I assume this is a bug.

Please don't be misled by older comments. This app is extremely functional and simple to use. It's especially helpful for people with ADHD due to its unique note style, similar to texting our friends. I highly recommend downloading this app as it's very easy to back up and upload your notes to your personal cloud.

So far this is the easiest one. Little more expensive than others. But some more options but not too many. I already have a calendar or use I don't need that in a notepad. Anyway some of them won't even let you change the font size. That's crazy for a no pen. Anyway this one was easy the one that came with my phone I hated. And I own it for life for 699 can't beat it. We'll see this is only my first day. Thanks
