Ratings and reviews

It depends on what you want, but it's buggy on my phone and I've found some of the changes disappointing. I think there used to be more formatting options, like headers. I've lost a link from one of my notes by accidentally deleting the text, and the undo button wouldn't restore it; instead, it started adding new letters to my words, like "attttt". Bizarre. I'm also having bugs with the group feature unintentionally deleting things, but fortunately there's a trash can.

shrinkflation for free version. I've used this app since 2017 and anytime there is a big update they take away features that were available for the free version. custom covers gone. color coding gone. literally disappointed that its getting out of hand. most likely going to copy paste my notes into my laptop default app and delete my account.

I've used this app for years across many different devices, honestly just bc I like being able to upload custom notebook covers. This used to be a free feature and eventually became "premium-only". I paid for it for a long time, but it's hard times now, and I can't afford to pay just to have custom notebook covers anymore. And I just think that after a year or more of paying for it monthly, I have paid my dues in and should be able to use that feature.
