Ratings and reviews

The longer you explore the app, the more options you will see, even if you think it isn't available, I found complaints about options that the app does have. They say it doesn't have them, but it actually does. So far? So good! Just remember your other settings can affect the functionality, like accidentally hitting your "do not disturb" button. I love the app!

The checkboxes were a great improvement. You SHOULD be able to put headings on groups of things with checkboxes within the same note. The new backgrounds are pretty useless; I'd rather have more colors to choose from. I use colors to "label" groups of notes, such as those for shopping or those that relate to my daughter, etc, in lieu of the folders that aren't available. They SHOULD be! And you SHOULD be able to alphabetize your notes by their titles. Keep is very good but not GREAT, yet!

something went wrong. I'm not sure if it's because of the recent app updates but I found a lot of my notes were missing. they're not in trash or archive and I didn't delete them. They just disappeared. If this app is not data safe, I will not use it!!! update: got missing data back after deleting cache and storage of the app, and then sync. I think there's a bug in the app. Still not happy. Also, scroll up and down now easily triggers the archiving action which can accidentally archive notes.
