Literally one of the best writing apps I've used! It has everything you'd ever want in a writing app and there are barley any ads! This is one of the only apps that actually deserves 5 star! (My 2025 review) I'm pretty happy with the new updates even though I haven't used it in a little while. It still deserves 5 stars, but I wish there was a clear settings button or a little tutorial since when I first opened the app I didn't think there were any settings. Otherwise it's still really good!

I'm new to this app but I really enjoy using it. But I have a suggestion if okay, can you please add some features where down the notes is you can reply to that old notes or your future you can reply to your old notes? I'm not good at explaining but I think that would be useful. To be honest, I'm lucky to found this app. it's easy to use and it doesn't have a lot of ads. I love this. Definitely willing to pay, it's worth it! 💗

Hi! Thank you 💗 We’re glad you enjoy the app! Currently, we don’t have a reply feature, but you can add a new page in the same entry to reflect on old notes. We try to keep the app minimal, so we hope this works well for you!
