Ratings and reviews

I press backup, the app says "backup created successfully" and then shows a list of other apps I can share it to. I don't see an option to put the backup on my phone's storage, or any indication of where it might be stored already. The store page says the app allows for offline backups so I assume this is a bug.

The original app was great. But like many others, I got no warning that the update would delete all my notes. Most of the content is reproducible, but I lost a couple notes that will be hard to recover. Some users are saying the second update restored their notes, but it did not for me. Additionally, when I started using the new app, messages no longer recognize carriage returns, so you can't make a list. Not sure why the developer made this change. it is not really usable like this.

This is by far the best note taking app I have used! The UI is amazing; love the messaging-like interface. Very stable performance. I'm a huge fan of my data being local-only (not being shared or stored on servers). In its current form, this app is amazing! If this app would add folder organization (with collapse feature), attachment support for add'l file types (txt/md/PDF/etc) and a companion app for PC/Mac to view/modify the backup data, it would be absolutely perfect! 🤌
