This app is suuuuper simple, which sounds like a bad thing at first, but it’s actually very good. Completely 100% free! I just needed a notes app for just that, jotting down small notes and keeping all my random little thoughts in one single app. Good for quick to-do list for the day, things to remember for next meeting, quick shopping list. No fancy overwhelming tools or nothing just notes. If u like fancy tools and text and stuff then just find another notes app, I’ll keep this one all to myself.You just press the pen button and just write. You can also favorite notes which I do for thoughts I need at my immediate disposal. Most recent favorited note goes at the very top. Also makes the title of the note the first line of text you write no need to come up with a title. There’s a search bar right up there to look for specific thoughts. Easy to delete just swipe left. Swipe right to quickly favorite as well. You can customize overall font size so I can make the text big so I can see it without doing it manually for each note.
Simple notes, minimum features, no junk

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Has features: Plain text notes Sorting notes Star-ing notes Sharing notes as text or text file Text size adjustment Doesn’t have ads, like most free apps use. The in-app purchases are a tip-jar. Full features for free and just money to say thank you. I’ll be saying thank you and I hope others do as well. Excellent and well-made.
Mostly does what it claims to do

This app and other apps by this developer do what they claim to do.This app in particular is well designed, simple and does the job albeit it is a bit rough around the edges (which is more that what I can say about many other free apps).
Wow, a significant improvement
