Ratings and reviews

I recently switched phones and I thought transferring my notes would be a simple matter of making a backup on my old phone and restoring it on my new phone, but it's entirely broken. I go into settings and select restore, select the backup zip file that it created, and it takes me right back to settings without restoring anything. I tried unzipping the file but it turns out non-zip files are not selectable. It's all saved as text, so at least I can manually enter it into another note program.

Did not realize how useful this was going to be. It is a note taking app that looks like a text message app conversation list. You can create different threads based on the subject of the notes. You can try messages, send it and have a time stamp. You can edit the messages. Supports voice messages and photo messages too. It would be nice to have the option to save the photos taken with the app when holding the picture or auto save to the gallery. Clean UI.

The original app was great. But like many others, I got no warning that the update would delete all my notes. Most of the content is reproducible, but I lost a couple notes that will be hard to recover. Some users are saying the second update restored their notes, but it did not for me. Additionally, when I started using the new app, messages no longer recognize carriage returns, so you can't make a list. Not sure why the developer made this change. it is not really usable like this.
