It's like Simple Apps, but lacking more features than the Simple Apps. Basically a Jack of All Trades App, which features needs to be more fleshed out. 1. Needs better navigation when selecting the App settings, Storage, Work, Exchange rate. Not sure why command has to be entered. I understand the command-like interface is good for taking quick notes. But then it gets cluttered up eventually. 2. Needs more options when viewing media. 3. RSS is too basic and needs more functionality.

You're right, but it's not fair to compare the app, which is still in development, with an existing app that has a lot of features. 1. I will think about it to see if I can come out a better solution. 2 & 3. What kind of features you think are missing? Can you create feature requests in this page? https://github.com/ismartcoding/plain-app/issues
