User reviews
The app was really great compared to the others but there are some changes in the updates that I do not approve of, especially when they've brought bugs and suboptimal performance to the app. I hope the developer is doing well and find it in himself to keep going and start keeping up with app maintenance.

One of the handy and well structured notebooks... BUT... yes there is a but that would like to see fixed soon please. Add the option for users to select whether they want to delete notes without confirmations. Confirmations when forced, are very annoying in any software, either office, multimedia or games software.

Nice note taking app with lots of potential. I've been able to create new folders and place them into the vault but I can't work out how to place existing folders in the vault. Can you tell me? Do you have a tutorial explaining how to use noto? I got a new photo and I was able to export my notes from my old phone to my new phone easily. Thanks for your help
