| 2024-12-16 |  | | The original problem seems to be fixed, since I finally have the monospace I was wanting. Much better functionality than before |
| 2024-03-04 |  | | I was honestly trying to find a place I could try journal writing and keep a place for notes all in one app. I managed to settle for having two separate apps only issue I have with this one is there isn't a folder option to keep the notes and prayers I'm saving separate. Yes I understand the label option but I still wouldn't mind having a folder option if possible. |
| 2023-09-26 |  | | It could use a couple of things, like maybe adding a photo to a note, or maybe spacing options. Overall, it's good though. Like the backup option. |
| 2023-07-27 |  | | This notes app is the best one I've found so far. However, I accidentally deleted it and now all of my short stories have been erased. I reinstalled it but I don't know how, if there even is a way, to get all of my previous writings back! If it's possible, could you please find a way to retrieve them all somehow? I don't want to lose all of my progress. |
| 2023-07-09 |  | | May be a little too minimalist, I can't find any settings at all, no save, no backup not even label (when I tap label it just pops up none which can't be changed or edited). Any suggestions?? |
| 2023-06-28 |  | | So far, you're amazing. This is the type of project that someone creates after seeing the need for a top tier but simple product that isn't greedy. This is the type of thing they make for themselves. Thanks for sharing!! Edit: ah it has reminders too!!!! You, sir 🙏 👑 Anyway would create a second (similar) version.. or idk if this will piss people off too much but maybe tiny donation option to unlock option that saves to SD card, but it's actually great the way it is. |
| 2023-01-29 |  | | I like it, just wish I was able to search my notes for key words... Other then that, it's able to unlock with your finger print. Which is my main reason for me downloading it, the privacy. |
| 2022-11-18 |  | | • Excellent, Needs Some Work Though • 1. I would love to see folders implemented for a much cleaner style and a much more organized opening ara, that's my only complaint really. 2. Maybe some differently shaded colors for the folders that are more darker shaded? 3. Please implement italics, bold, strikethrough, underline, text color! We would die for this guy's, and I KNOW your downloads would soar because compared to other Notepad companies, yours literally is the cleanest and nicest! |
| 2022-08-05 |  | | Please add date formats and 12 hour time format. Date and time on every entry looks good. A little color customization is good but not needed. I would like my entries in little circular rectangular boxes, currently it looks bland. These daily notes should be always sorted be date and time by default, that's how most of the apps are. I like that you are keeping the app updated. |
| 2022-06-09 |  | | After update 5.13.1 it stopped opening in android 8.1. It freezes in the opening screen. I've lost all my notes. I would like to know if support for Oreo is going to be discontinued, or I'll have to uninstall. |
