About this app

Notepad is a small and fast notetaking app for making notes, memos, or just any plain text content. Features:
* simple interface that most of the users find easy to use
* no limits on note's length or number of notes (of course there's a limit to phone's storage)
* creating and editing text notes
* importing notes from txt files, saving notes as txt files
* sharing notes with other apps (e.g. sending a note by email)
* notes widget allowing to quickly create or edit notes, working like post it notes (stick a memo to home screen)
* backup function for saving and loading notes from a backup file (zip file)
* app password lock
* color themes (including dark theme)
* note categories
* automatic note saving
* undo/redo changes in notes
* lines in background, numbered lines in a note
* technical support
* search function that can quickly find text in notes
* unlock app with biometrics (e.g. fingerprint or face recognition)

It may be obvious, but notes in the app can be used in many ways. For example as a to do list to increase productivity. A sort of digital planner to store shopping list or to organize the day. Notes can be put on the home screen as reminders. Each task could be stored in a seperate note or one big todo note could be used.

** Important **
Please remember to make a backup copy of notes before formatting a phone or buying a new phone. Since the 1.7.0 version the app will also use phone's device copy, if it's turned on in the device's and the app's settings.

* Why do I advise to not install the app on an SD card?
I follow the official advice to block installing on an SD card apps that use widgets. This app uses widgets, which are like icons for the notes, and can be placed on a phone's home screen (for example).

If you have any additional questions, just contact me by email: notepad.free@outlook.com .

Thank you.

Of all the apps I have, this is my most used. Ive been ising it for years. I love it and would be lost without it. Favourite thing? So easy to write quick notes and lists and even easier to find them later. Best thing? Automatically saves your note, so if you accidentally swipe off the app, you don't lose anything. Also, being able to back it up is brilliant. Thank you to the developers! Love it

Hi Rebecca. Thank you for using the app for so long, for years. I'm glad that I didn't break anything significant in the app during all this time. If you'll ever think of something that you'd like to be changed in the app, please email me at notepad.free@outlook.com. Thank you for the review. Regards, Arek.

I have been using this for close to a year, I never see ads. It works perfectly. Only thing I'd want to see added is an option to move around individual notes at will instead of needing to title them to be in alphabetical order like 1A, 1B, 1C for big lists. Update: I accidentally uninstalled instead of force stopping because the app was misbehaving. I lost all my records, over a year or data. I thought there were automatic backups.

In a sea of complications for complicated sake, Simple Notes truly keeps it simple. I migrated from another app on store as I was frustrated, but there are none of those feelings here. I use this to draftvout ideas and memos for projects and it works perfect for that. Feels and performs lightweight. The categories and sorting are superb. Big fan.
