Ratings and reviews

I love this app. It's like Google Keep notes but with more features - like sorting alphabetically, the ability to create Notebooks (folders), and a lot of better features too. My only complaints are that I really wish I could see the full thumbnail of images displayed, I wish I could swipe through multiple images in a note, and I wish downloading images from in the app were easier (I have to share the image to an external program and download it from there).

This app is near perfect to move away from Google Keep! My biggest wish is that where would be a separation between pinned notes and the rest. I would be so so grateful if that could be implemented! It would also be cool if the Tags in the sidebar could be a drop down menu for a quicker overview but that's not a must. My dad misses the option to be able to indent list items haha but again that's not really a biggie. Keep up the great work <3

I chose Quillpad as an alternative to Google Keep for actual privacy and am surprised at how much more I enjoy the layout and features (privacy is just a bonus now), plus it is free. Markdown features (headers, bullet points, tables etc) are great and allow for plenty of freedom and organisation. I think a few tweaks in terms of more customisation and little issue fixes are needed but I am still completely happy with my transition to Quillpad (5* once this is achieved).
