Ratings and reviews

Nice but limited. I don't see a way to save it as a file that I can access with file manager to keep backup. No option to let user sign in to Google to sync with Google Drive if they wish (I get you are doing local first, but an option wouldn't be bad). Right now I see no way to keep my notes safe from loss. Edit: no reason to email you for you to "help me better". Either the app supports those things or it doesn't.

"Hey I absolutely love this app. But since the 3.0 update everything is so sharpy. What happened to the curved design. Could you please provide an option" - This option is still not available yet. Plus, why does the app doesn't allow it to be installed from Aurora Store. After updating from it, I can't even access my notes, it's asking me to get it from the Play Store. Not recommended.

previously had a review about how perfect and simple this notes app was... now it's complicated with AI slop. literally the worst addition to such a great app. uninstalling because of such a bad update/upgrade.
