Description
Note: Access to a Nextcloud server with the Notes app installed is required to use this app. Visit https://nextcloud.com for more information.
Nextcloud Notes is a notes editor that syncs with the Notes app (https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/releases) on your server.
Once you have logged in to your server, all notes will be kept in sync between devices and also the web interface. Optionally supports sync on startup.
You can create and delete notes directly on the device. Notes can be organized in categories. Edit as plain text or use markdown for rich formatting. Notes can be copied or exported to other apps or services in several formats.
If you have a sync client (optional) installed on your desktop computer all notes will be there too, and can be edited with any text editor.

Ratings and Reviews
Needs Work
It is nice to be able to sync notes with nextcloud but this app seems to function more as a web wrapper than a native app. It disconnects all the time even if you are in the middle of editing notes. I wouldn’t rely on it but it does allow you to take quick notes which is useful.
NOT v26 ready despite latest update claim
This app used to work pretty well as a bare bones app for nextcloud notes up to nextCloud v25 but for server v26 it’s pretty broken. The app constantly disconnects when you switch to another app and refuses to reconnect to the note you were just editing, which leaves you to completely reboot the app every edit. Instead of natively editing the note through the app it brings up the web interface for note editing which is slow and does not properly fit the phone screen. The app constantly goes out of sync with the notes on the server and presents you with an unreadable interface to select which version of the note is up to date. You no longer can switch between markdown and preview mode when editing a document even though it’s saving everything in markdown. All in all just needs way more polished to be used with a v26 nextcloud server.
Not production ready
App is missing core functionality such as: multi-step undo. No support for multiple accounts/profile-switching such as work/home. There is a strong focus on markdown instead of getting robust plain-text support to work first. Updates are not well tested in seem to introduce regressions as much as fix exising problems. Older versions which had fewer features, ran smoothly. As of 4.0.4, interaction is slow and clunk-clunk-clunky. Adding text to a note adds ~100ms delay per letter typed (with Notes v4.0.4 and NC 23.0.7)
Overall the app is of middling utility, especially considering its age. Best to wait a for quality to mature
I recommend using Koder app with nextcloud webdav instead.
