| 2024-09-28 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-07-26 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-02-11 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-01-14 |  | | This is by far the best note taking app I have used! The UI is amazing; love the messaging-like interface. Very stable performance. I'm a huge fan of my data being local-only (not being shared or stored on servers). In its current form, this app is amazing! If this app would add folder organization (with collapse feature), attachment support for add'l file types (txt/md/PDF/etc) and a companion app for PC/Mac to view/modify the backup data, it would be absolutely perfect! 🤌 |
| 2024-01-05 |  | | DO NOT UPDATE!!!! Just another developer putting once free features behind a pay wall. This latest update takes away the ability to use pictures in your notes. Never mentioned in the what's new description (I wonder why?) I guess we should all be grateful that this developer does not make cars, after driving our car home and parking in the garage, we would get a software update that requires paying to have access to start the engine. Look elsewhere, there are other notes apps that work. |
| 2023-12-15 |  | | The original app was great. But like many others, I got no warning that the update would delete all my notes. Most of the content is reproducible, but I lost a couple notes that will be hard to recover. Some users are saying the second update restored their notes, but it did not for me. Additionally, when I started using the new app, messages no longer recognize carriage returns, so you can't make a list. Not sure why the developer made this change. it is not really usable like this. |
| 2023-11-21 |  | | As other reviewers describe, the app no longer opens. For me it simply disappears with no bug error notice or anything just disappears. No prompt to update. Nothing. I too had many important notes that I unfortunately did not backup. This will cause a great deal of time and stress. Please fix this. Thank you. |
| 2023-11-20 |  | | I'm really excited to see that someone else already had the same thought as me & brought this app to life. It's incredibly useful to have a memo app with an interface designed like a messaging app. You can create different threads for every topic then give it a title and a topic photo. You can type memos, leave voice memos, add pictures, edit the memos you already wrote, and lock the app using biometrics. Clean UI. Dark mode. Now would you just download it already?📲👍🏻 |
| 2023-11-15 |  | | I loved this app until I tried using it after Android 14 update. Now the fingerprint reader pops up but doesn't register the finger (it doesn't light up or respond with the haptic). The pin doesn't worth either. What's odd is that the app appears to open only to crash. Just won't open at all. I have lots of notes in the app and I will be upset if i can't access them. Will I lose the notes if I uninstall and reinstall? I have a pixel 7 pro. |
| 2023-10-12 |  | | I don't think you've made an app I don't like. I switched from niagra launcher to olauncher and now to pro launcher and this notes app doesn't disappoint either! It feels like a messaging app only you're just messaging notes to yourself. Super minimalistic and simple but it's outside the box and makes jotting down notes as simple as writing as text message and it makes keeping them organized as simple as scrolling through chat threads. Absolutely love it ❤️ |
