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.

Good app, I wanted to try it just for basics, things like grocery shopping. It is definitely good for things like that for me. I give every app I like 4 stars, there's always room for improvement. I would like to be able to pin my notes in here as a background on my phone so I don't forget it, the colors need much more improvement. They appear dark and same colors show on the list multiple times like the dirty yellow/gringy greenish color.

I've used Notepad Free for 6 years now. Best text app for an Android. Simple to use, easy to create and edit a note, easy to select/cut/copy/paste, links inserted into a note are clickable, smilies are supported in a note, notes can be shared/emailed. Most importantly, everything created can be backed up into a .ZIP file or individual text files that can be shared/imported to any other device and all of the individual extracted files are in text format. All that and NO ADS. Life is good! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

awesome notepad app!! i use this notepad to write down lots of stuff, from quotes to song lyrics to random thoughts i have, and it works perfectly! the ads are only on the homepage of the app, and it's only a simple banner at the top. i don't remember why i chose this app over any other notepad app, but i'm pretty glad i did, because it's perfect for me!
