More detailed description:
Sync works two-way, thus you can edit text files from your Dropbox folder on PC or other devices. App reads and writes files in plain text format (default .txt).
App can be used offline. Changes are locally stored and synchronized later via background service or sync on demand.
On newer devices (API > 23) app offers an option to save text selection directly into a note.
Text editor offers undo / redo and is highly customizable.

Internet access permission is required for synchronization purposes with your Dropbox account. Should the app crash, the app will also ask for the permission to send a
crash log via Crashlytics tool (Crashlytics is owned and operated by Google inc.).

Other permissions are required for background sync, which can be turned off.

The developer is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Dropbox Inc.

Happy note taking experience :)

Perfect simple tool
by Mohsin Mirza, 2024-01-19

There is a bug where, if you write at the top of a text document, the app automatically scrolls down to the end of the document. Then if you start writing, it focuses back to the place you're at, only to go back to the end of the document men when you stop writing, even fire a second. This makes it impossible to write anything, making the app unusable. This is too bad because if this huge bug wasn't there, it's a great app

Works well but voice-to-text is not always reliable. Sometimes stops while dictating for no reason, doesn't insert new line or new paragraph, makes it hard to space out notes.
