Purple Notebook 4+

As the title says, this app is everything I’ve been looking for, but unfortunately sometimes my notes get deleted randomly even after clicking “Done”. I’ve tested it with some smaller notes and have seen that even leaving a note on edit and exiting out of the app, it’ll stay saved whereas sometimes I’ve always saved it and it’ll be gone when I next check. I use this app to write stories and poems so this is very concerning to me and I’ve taken to making screenshots of everything I write. Please help I refuse to use a different app… this one really has everything I’ve ever needed!

I was hopeful when I downloaded this app because it seamed to have everything I was looking for, but unfortunately my joy was short lived. Immediately I started to notice problems. I started out by making a bookshelf and attempting to add some books to it. I started on the first one and l quickly became frustrated with it. Not long after I had gotten everything how I needed, It deleted all that I had been working on. After typing it all out again I attempted to add photos and it refused to do that as well. I thought maybe it was the particular photo I was trying to use but no. Absolutely nothing would work. I gave up on that and thought maybe there was a problem with that particular book. I attempted to set up a second book and I was not surprised to find that it wouldn’t even add a second book. I went into my settings hoping to find an answer but even after allowing everything that it wanted and trying it all again. It still refused to work. So as a last ditch effort I deleted the app and all it’s filed from my phone and redownloaded it in hopes that it had downloaded wrong the first time. No. That wasn’t it. This app just doesn’t work. I loved the lay out and was truly hopeful but I ended up going with CollaNote which has worked perfectly.

Let me start this with the things I like, I like the idea of having the notes look like a noteook on shelves but other than that this app lacks everything I need in a note taking app.

Now for the bad things, this app has only saved my notes I've taken for two different classes out of my 6 classes and one of them that did save the next time I went back into it and continued notes for the class not only did it not save what I wrote that class but all my notes for that class disappeared when I next went into it making it so that I had no notes for my first week in all classes except one. Another thing that I hate about this app is the sizing, you can only have 4 sizes 3 of them being different size headers and the paragraph one being far too small. Lastly the bold/color/italics thing on this works ok except you have to go back up and click out of the lttle bar and then go back and click where you left off to begin typing again which while it may not seem too bad it is very annnoying while trying to keep up with notes in college when your professor goes faster than you can manage with this app; not that that matters anyways because all your notes will be gone the next day since it doesn't save.
