Coming from iOS, I've been looking for a nice, simple, ad-free notes app for a while and this has proven to be the best. Other apps either have endless, clunky bells and whistles I'll never use or nothing at all. It's hard to find anything in between. A particular important feature I was looking for was the ability to cloud save which this app has. From my experience so far it works very well, being fast and reliable. Having the ability to see the revision history is very useful too. However, although I like the app's simplicity, I would like a couple of things changed before rating 5 stars. Firstly, it'd be wonderful to be able to toggle off headings for specific notes. Some notes, for example, are just streams of consciousness and it's really annoying to have a heading forced on those where it doesn't fit (especially in the preview). Also, I personally find having to do basic formatting such as dot point lists using Markdown to be a massive pain. I really wish these simple things were native parts of the app. Appreciate these things might not be possible though. Other than that it's a great app and I recommend it!

Best note taking app I have used yet! Easily organised, customisable. I collaborate with my wife. I would love to see some new things added though like themes, and the ability to change text colour to make certain notes stand out. Like important parts. Easily syncronizable between devices. I sync with my wife's phone, PC, my PC and phone. Sync with 4 devices at once at any time. I use it daily! Highly recommend it!

I do like the app, it's nice and clean. However, the big issue for me is the search. It couldn't search the Chinese Character properly. FOR TITLE and CONTENT , Only can search the Chinese character when it IS the BEGINNING word of the LINE. But if you put the space between the words,such as 我们 不要 , "不要"can be searched. Otherwise, no results. iOS version for iPad has no problems at all for the same issue.
