Ratings and reviews

I think it might be a great nondistracting cross platform way to write articles and it has nice free features like publish to Wordpress, but there are weird omissions of normal note app functionality. You can't hit share and simply choose an email or sms recipient and have the text appear in the message field. And there is no "find in page" tool -- you can only search all the notes you ever wrote. It isn't basic enough to be your only notes app.

It never synced all notes. I had 500 notes and deleted all that began with "A" and not all of them deleted when synced. Even with re-logging it more than once. I repeated this with "B," and each letter to "G" as an easy way to see if it did a good job of syncing. It does not. Notes were unsynced for each letter EVERY TIME! Too bad I loved it's design otherwise. Might be good for 1 or 2 notes if that's all you need it for.

5🌟 FIXED. Menu on PC, >< on Android. Search all 1st, then in note. The one thing that stops me over and over is the search function. ALL the notes can be searched. But I can not search inside a note. This app works on Android and PC. It would be great to use it all the time, but... Whenever I try it "one more time" I try to use the search function, then I say "Oh yeah, that's why I don't use it." Otherwise, it would be great! But trying to find a single word in a large note is not fun at all.
