Ratings and reviews

Great note taking app, you can actually add images, audio, bullet points, change the fonts, and many more. The support team are also really helpful since they immediately respond to bugs/problems when sending a feedback. Although, it would be great if you could also change the size of the bullet points when you are changing the size of the words/sentences. Although there are some problems from time to time, overall, it's a great experience.

It depends on what you want, but it's buggy on my phone and I've found some of the changes disappointing. I think there used to be more formatting options, like headers. I've lost a link from one of my notes by accidentally deleting the text, and the undo button wouldn't restore it; instead, it started adding new letters to my words, like "attttt". Bizarre. I'm also having bugs with the group feature unintentionally deleting things, but fortunately there's a trash can.

I wanted to replace the Samsung stock memo app and found the Zoho Notebook and after a couple of days I'm sure that I will continue to use it for the foreseeable future. It certainly has the potential to become a top-notch 5 * app, but at this point it still suffers from a bunch of little bugs and quirks, like sometimes lacking access to my clipboard, main bar sometimes not immediately available, ... Nevertheless recommendable.
