Ratings and reviews

I don't normally comment on stuff like this, but the new update has been pissing me off. There's now an option for "beginning, middle, and end." In settings that will bring you to the top, bottom, or middle of a note. Which could be very, very awesome. However, if you stop typing for even a second, it will bring you back to whatever you have it set as, with no way to turn it off :( this app is so awsome, but it's just that that beings it down so much for me :(

I have a suggestion about entering encrypted passwords. The "show password checkbox" is available when opening the encrypted note. However, on editing the encrypted note, the password is requested after the edit. Unfortunately, the "show password checkbox" is NOT AVAILABLE. With these tiny finger keyboards, mistakes are possible. Making mistakes brings up another question. How many tries are allowed on password entry mistakes? It seems I was locked out once. Was that because I exceeded retrys?

Very good app take time to learn. Secure Storage of encrypted notes. With the label feature you can create different categories of notes. What would make this a five star app is the ability encrypt/decrypt multiple files at the same time. The pro version of let you encrypt/decrypt all notes. When reading an decrypting a note it will encrypt immediately if you switch screen, if access multiple times need to enter the password over. Needs option keep decrypted in read-only mode.
