Great looking note app. Functional. Being able to have a checklist and a note in one note together is a neat feature. I love that IN ADDITION to an option to pay to remove ads, there are also several options to watch ads to remove ads for an extended period of time. After 3 ads worth less than a minute of my time, I received no ads for one month. More apps should have this option, it's great!

This is a great app. Simple. No frills yet super functional and has most of the things Zoho Notes has, notebook/folder creation, easy checklists, security lock features, and so on while being super light weight. Other apps I tried make it very different to format/create normal texts and checklists on the same note and this is easy to do. My helpful feedback is that the developer doesn't have an app rating suggestion in settings or any where and that most likely why this great notes app reviews?

This app is great and has lots of features (I will probably be using it forever) but I do have some suggestions. First of all, I haven't found a way to manually organize notes (dragging them where you want them instead of time / alphabetical) which I would appreciate. Second of all, I haven't found a way to center the text to the middle or the left, and instead it's locked on the right, which I find very annoying. Overall, I 100% reccomend it, but I do really wish it had those features.
