Uninstalled. The process of creating a new note is so complicated I simply cannot get my mind wrapped around it. Apparently in order to create a note you have to search for it first. Once you have successfully searched for a note title that doesn't already exist, you can give it a title, and once you've searched for it, given it a title, and saved it, then you can actually add some notes to it. Of course by that time you've completely forgotten what it was you were trying to remember.

a fantastic app. I've been using it for notes on projects and grocery lists and the like. i love that it saves as a text doc and links to different pages, perfect for my chaos brain. I'd love if pictures could be added, even if it's just referenced in text form to another "page" to keep in line with the txt format. sort of like a "see figure 1 for reference"

I really like your app. Honestly, I would give it 5 stars, but I'm still troubled by a bug on Android. Here’s what it is: when you write a note, temporarily leave the app, and then come back to fix something, if you try to press Enter (to go to the next line) or Space, the last word suddenly disappears. This is very disruptive, especially during brainstorming sessions or when I need to quickly jot down important things. The PC version doesn't have this issue. In general, I recommend it 👍
