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

Ratings and reviews

This has been, and continues to be, just about the most valuable app in my phone. The color coding is VERY helpful, and it's easy to send notes to other people via text or email. I like that it allows repeating alarm texts, for example, the grocery list can pop up every Friday at 5:03pm. Birthday lists pop up each year. It's plain text only, no formatting or pictures, which isn't always great, but in split screen I can drag-drop text from browser to ColorNote and strip away unwanted formatting.

Love this app, use it everyday. Great way to categorize and keep track of different checklists. Great for quick notes an jotting down ideas too. I really wish it could send a checklist as a text, that would make it so much more convenient! And also if it were available on iPad. Still great but it could be perfect if it could do those things.

This is just a little notepad app - which is great, because that's all it needs to be. If you need to jot something down, this is just perfect for it. This app comes with color coding features which allow you to set notes to be a specific color, which helps organization; for example, you could set grocery lists to be green, and work reminders to be red, or something like that. I've been using this app for a good few years now, and I've genuinely NEVER encountered any issues with it.
