Ratings and reviews

App has a lot of potential except it has a few quirsks: 1. pressing enter after writing the title doesn't move you down to the body ('description'). 2. tag section is at the top and it doesn't allow you to simply add the tag typing it in the body with # not allowing to change the date format from mm-dd. 3. the UI with the dark theme looks really dated and the light theme takes my eyes *burn* - but this is very personal obviously! The dev(s) really gave it a good shot! Thank you for that.

I'm new to using a zettelkasten. I've tried several digital apps and decided to settle with this one. I use it almost on a daily basis and it works well for me. I would like to be able to delete notes. Also importing/exporting md files would give it more value by improving interoperability with other tools. Good job to the dev team.

Good start, but a ways to go. No way to delete notes, or at least no way that I found. No REAL dark mode for battery saving AMOLED screens, just a dim grey. No ability to set interface font size, they are kind of small on my screen. Some UI bugs, some button words wrap. References always wraps to two lines and the last s in on the second line. The app offers no clear user instructions.
