Ratings and reviews

More & more lately, when I click the magnifying glass to search for particular notes, the window is replaced by a message that reads, "the application has stopped" Also, occasionally the clipboard automatically pastes words I am typing, below where I am typing as well. And other similar behavior with th clipboard. Like if I copy a block of text, say a shareclink from a YouTube post, it automatically creates a note with that that content when I open Notepad. Wish it had undo when text is deleted

Excellent app! Thanks so much Braden for making this! It's the first notes app that isn't loaded with ads, let's me backup and restore, doesn't require excessive permissions , and doesn't need a subscription fee to use. I really would like to pay a one time donation since I think it is worth it. Please consider making this an in app purchase or release a pro version that can bought separately.

I had to get a new phone and the notepad app I had been using was no longer in the store. I decided on this one because it was one of the few basic free, ad-free, notepad apps that aren't out to collect all your data. For the most part I like the way it works, but a few nice to haves would be to show the date you last edited a note. Also put the note title in a separate field so you don't accidently delete it during editing.
