Ratings and reviews

Very good app take time to learn. Secure Storage of encrypted notes. With the label feature you can create different categories of notes. What would make this a five star app is the ability encrypt/decrypt multiple files at the same time. The pro version of let you encrypt/decrypt all notes. When reading an decrypting a note it will encrypt immediately if you switch screen, if access multiple times need to enter the password over. Needs option keep decrypted in read-only mode.

This is perfect!! I downloaded every single simple notepad/memo app available that didn't include ads and out of all 9, this is the app that has everything I need without any unnecessary extras. It's very similar to the original Android "memo" app on Samsung phones, but better. 2 bugs/suggestions: first, with time selection it'd be nice of you could type in the hour/minutes because it's hard to select a precise time. 2nd, if you pin a note to status bar and bulk delete notes, it stays pinned.

Very good. Easy to use and free encryption?Very good! Edited. I restored my 5 star review! I had a problem when I tried to search for something in an encrypted note instead it re-encrypted the note and wanted my password again. I emailed the developer about this and Tarique replied soon after acknowledging that the problem existed, offered a short term workaround, and in less than a day fixed and updated the app. Five star service!
