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.

Works great for a notepad. Make sure you backup your files using the "Backup" feature in the menu. Then email that file to yourself for safe keeping. I lost a phone and all my notes were gone because it wasn't setup to have Google doing backups. The tech support for this company showed me how to avoid this issue down the road. I recommend this notepad app out of the others ive tried, mostly because the ad display is barely even noticeable and the app itself is easy to navigate with a cell phone.

Hi. I'm sorry about the issue. The app can use phone's backup copy system. So, the question is was it enabled on your old phone? Please email me at notepad.free@outlook.com. I'll help you check it. I'll improve the backup copy system in the future. I'm aware of its shortcomings.

Easy and simple to use, automatically saves once you back out of the app. Though to access your notes directly with a pc, you'll need to export your notes as an actual text file to wherever you prefer. No problem there. What i love especially is the feature to disable banner ads (temporarily) by watching a 15 or 30 second video and won't have to deal with them for 864,000 seconds each time.

I'm impressed! Easy to use; and all the editing functions are included. Very intuitive ... Superior to any of the others I've used. One quick suggestion … In settings / sort, add the option to sort by category. That's the only thing I can imagine that would make the app more perfect than it already is 🩵.
