It WON'T auto-save notes!!! It's very annoying when all other notes apps auto save automatically if I close the app or if I switch to a different app. I don't have time to be pressing extra buttons just to save a note when I shouldn't have to. That has always been the biggest problem with this app is that it fails to auto save!! Please, app developer, write the code so that the notes will save automatically! Look at the app called ColorNotes, it saves notes automatically. Do it like they do it!

It's got everything you need in a Notes App. It's nice and tidy, you can lock notes behind a PIN, it has formatting options like bullet points and bold/italics. It even lets you add images. Best of all, you can back up your notes in your own device without relying on Google Services or you can upload it to the Cloud if you want. This app gives you complete control.

Problem on creating folders solved! Even if there's a limit on folders you can create, this is simply the best notes app, and it syncs great with dropbox! Simple to access when you are on your PC, and you can bring everywhere when you are on your phone! -it's been yrs and still been using the app. Upgrading to 5 stars from 4 stars!
