Ratings and reviews

Hey! I’ve been using your app and honestly, I love it. The clean UI and features are great. One thing I feel is missing is a search option. I can’t seem to search through my saved notes or tasks, which can be difficult when I have many things saved. I’m not sure if I missed the option, but please consider adding search functionality. A quick and simple search bar would make finding things much easier and improve the overall experience!

Thank you for this great app. No distractions, no unnecessary bling. One little thing though. In the Notes section, it would be nice if you could see the whole note that you are typing, rather than only the last three lines.

This is the best all in one note, reminder, to-do, and general text app I've ever installed. it doesn't have annoying ads, no restrictive paywall for the real advertised features and is genuinely made by someone who makes notes and understands what features are needed to get the best experience. If you enjoy Olauncher, this will be a perfect fit for you and vice versa
