Ratings and reviews

This app was stellar for years, especially before voice control. That being said... It won't copy/paste properly anymore. Anything you try to paste, automatically gets sent to the top of the old note. I can't save a new version because it messes up the entire note. That's a broken app problem, for me, and I have to use my pc to create .txt files, and transfer them to my tablet/phone some other way. I may still keep it to read files on devices, but it's not working as intended atm.

I have been happy with the app for 2 years until this 3.x update. Now I cannot cut and paste to another position. Also, notes that began with underscore sorted before letters and numbers, now they sort after Z and before a. I had used underscore to sort notes to the top. Also, when I return from a note to the list, it now scrolls to the top, previously it left the list in the last position. It is unacceptable to change behaviors with an update. I am reducing my rating even further.

Quite useful. I think I might of encountered a bug. Sometimes when I press enter to move down to a new line, it will duplicate the last word of the previous line. Other than that it does what I want it to. No complaints from me. It would be nice to have an option for each line be an alternating color, and to have more colors for the notepad. Since it's a free app, I'm just grateful to have something that works and any extra features I might want I can live without.
