This used to be a very good note app. But without warning, it started acting like a revolving malware farm. No more ability to take notes at all. It just demands monthly payment of $2.99. Technically its ad based, but its not functional that way. I no longer have any access to my own data! Like a scam. I want access to my notes; but with this hijack/ransom action that they started with no warning, I don't feel I can trust them now... especially if I were to start a subscription

Hi there, We are sorry to hear that you feel this away about our latest update. Ads makes it possible for us to update the app and keep it free, the subscription offer is a suggestion in order to avoid the ads. However you can still see your notes, if you accept the ads. Kindest regards, Gitte

Typing is slow as hell, resulting in the most amateur of grammatical errors and unintentional deltions. It's so glitchy and impossible to use once you reach a certain amount of notes, which I find humorous for an app which primary purpose is for note taking! Insane amount of ads for a note app. You're better off typing all this into docs or word, or even screenshotting your notes from a Google search bar. whatever you do, don't download Notepad. I'll be uninstalling in the very near future.

started forcing ads to use the app! it worked great when I first got it. but the ads are AWFUL!!! I'm in the process of moving all my notes. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Edit for reply: I get that y'all need to make money. Here is what I suggest instead of hoping the user either coughs up the money or is too lazy to change notepad apps. Lessen the ads and put them after you are done using a note. We don't need a freaking subscription for a note app. charge a ONE time fee. I'd pay 10$
