Notes

About this app

ColorNote® is a simple and awesome notepad app. It gives you a quick and simple notepad editing experience when you write notes, memos, e-mails, messages, shopping lists and to-do lists. Taking notes with ColorNote® Notepad is easier than any other notepad or memo pad app.

* Notice *
- If you cannot find the widget, then please read the FAQ below.
- When you're finished using the notepad, an automatic save command preserves your individual note.

* Product Description *
ColorNote® features two basic note taking formats, a lined-paper styled text option, and a checklist option. Add as many as you want to your master list, which appears on the app's home screen each time the program opens. This list may be viewed in traditional ascending order, in grid format, or by note color.

- Taking a Note -
Serving as a simple word processing program, the text option allows for as many characters as you're willing to type. Once saved, you can edit, share, set a reminder, or check off or delete the note through your device's menu button. When checking off a text note, the app places a slash through the list's title, and this will be displayed on the main menu.

- Making To-do List or Shopping List -
In the checklist mode, you can add as many items as you'd like and arrange their order with drag buttons activated in the edit mode. After the list is finished and saved, you may check or uncheck each line on your list with a quick tap, which will toggle a line slash. If all items have been checked, then the list's title is slashed as well.

* FAQ *
Q: How do you put a sticky note widget on the home screen?
A: Go to the home screen and hold down your finger on an empty space and choose widget, Color Note will then be desplayed so you can stick on the page.

Q: Why don't the widget, the alarm and notes remider functions work?
A: If the app is installed on the SD card, your widget, reminder, etc. will not work properly because Android doesn't support these features when installed on an SD card! If you have already moved the app to an SD card, but want those features, then you have to move the app back on the device and reboot your phone.

Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Color Note - Move to Device

Q: Where are backed up notes data on the SD card?
A: '/data/colornote' or '/Android/data/com.socialnmobile.dictapps.notepad.color.note/files' on SD card

Q: I forgot my master password. How can I change it?
A: Menu → Settings → Master Password → Menu Button → Clear Password. You will lose your current locked notes when you clear the password!

Q: How can I create todo list note?
A: New - Select checklist note - Put items - Save. Tap an item to strikethrough.

Ratings and reviews

Been using this for about 3 years now and I'd be lost without it! It's quick, organises your notes sensibly, does lists (which can be re-ordered) and saves your notes without you having to. There may be other fancy apps out there but this is simple and to the point, exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic app in my opinion!

I like that you can pin notes as widgets, and it does what it says on the tin. The list type notes are great! It's not overly-intuitive, however, with things like e.g. tap to edit missing - you have to click the edit symbol by the title which usually means Edit Title. You can figure it out with a bit of use (it's not that hard, ofc) but just some of those subconscious features aren't there? (and the colours of the notes turn desaturated and not fun when you pick them, but that's small beans)

A very useful App. Easy to use. Having the choice of a checklist or plain text is very useful. The colour coding lets you highlight different types of note. The sync system lets you keep the data available on several devices. The only reason I only gave it a 4 is because the "send" option does not include an option to send a note to a printer. There seems to be a lack of an ability to print a note.
