It is a very good app,I like the fact that you can also lock the secret things you like,for example some of us don't appreciate sharing the things we would like to achieve this year but with this app you can lock.But i one had a textbook in this app but I can't say I would recommend you to put a text book here because the number of pages doesn't go along with the number of pages in the text book.By the way it is a good app!!You can also put your text books here it's just a useful app.

absolutely fantastic app. only things to consider. - When you save a note, it is very difficult to find, the save path often gets hidden, if this is due to "locking" a note or just bad file save pathway on my part, I do not know. but I have to go back into notes to open it, I cannot save it as something that sits easily accessible to upload on a site, and secondly I would love it if the team adds in more creative writing abilities. cv templates. addons for browser etc

There are these things companies do:. Auto update and forced updates. The update they forced is not to my liking at all. The old version had everything I wanted. Fell in love with the old version immediately. I could use for a journal, shopping lists, to do lists, painting, drawing, .. it was a stress reliever and entertainment. The new version was a downgrade. Several dozen levels down. It does help to relieve stress, it does not serve as entertainment and no more painting or drawing.
