Ratings and reviews

"Invalid storage path" unable to link image to notes after full permissions granted.

Perfect workhorse app. Migrated from Evernote, to Simplenote, now been using Neutrinote exclusively for over a year. Not very exciting on the surface, but again: my Android note-taking has been exclusively on Neutrinote for over a year now. I don't even *know* if there's better alternatives because I haven't felt the need to look. PLUSES: Fast; Maximalist (no endless submenus); Local note storage as .txt files (no server issues or DRM); No feature creep; Markdown (it's there if you need it).

This app is loaded with functionality - way beyond what I would ever use. Beware that the help file was written originally with Android 10 or earlier in mind. Reference is made to setting the repository when installing. Ignore this if you have a recent Android version. Create a folder called Backup with a sub folder called mirror and enable Backup Mirroring to enable access to copies of your original text files.
