I loved this app. I'd had it for years and it kept all of my notes safe and secret from my family looking through my phone. I had multiple sections in it, and since it's so hard to find another notes app that locks, I stuck with it. One day, I open the app and it completely self destructs. I uninstall it because it logged me out and won't load. When I reinstall it it doesn't appear as an app on my phone and every time I open through the app store, it only has half the notes I've ever written. :(

App has nice features and takes notes. However, for a "Private Notepad" it makes an incredible amount of continuous outboud connections to the internet. I have some suspicion it is not very private. On top of this, it is programmed by a lone programmer who may or may not be trustworthy. Sure you want to take your chances?

It's a good app. I've been using it for years. Unfortunately it's not going to work for me anymore. I used it to write lyrics. I've emailed them previously in the past to have the record button moveable because it's in the way while I record. I can't fully see my lyrics while recording. I recently hit the maximum amount of voice attachments. I will not be upgrading for $69.99. I think it's way over priced. I'm not sure why we are limited 40 attachments. If you don't need attachments go for it.
