Ratings and reviews

Somewhere in the last updates the app has developed some serious issues: the settings when writing are no longer accessible. The settings on the top and bottom of the page when writing on a document are underneath the functions of the phone (ability to change the doc title are now under my wifi/data/etc, and the bottom settings are under my home/back/running apps buttons). They're unresponsive to touch and I can't seem to change settings for my phone or the app to fix this. Please address.

I've dabbled with LOTS of WP-type apps since my first smart phone 20+ yrs ago, but once I found jotter I was hooked. I continue to try new apps when I see them - they all claim to be The Best lol - but they never are. Some have more bells & whistles, but that's not what I want. I want Highly-Functional, but Simple. Basic but Effectively Up to Date. Sometimes, Less really is Best.

I generally don't write reviews. I've been using this for 10+yrs and now an Android you moved all the settings to the bottom so I cannot access them as the minimize, back, and square button overlay it. It also stopped scrolling so after so many words the keyboard blocks me from reading what I've typed. Please fix this!
