Horrible, buggy app, it erases entire notes when you try to save, you lose everything. The ads are obnoxious, seems like every time you use a function, another long ad comes up. Don't waste your time, or lose all the text you can't get back. Update: This app doesn't allow you many backup options, had to do it manually. Uninstalled, and not coming to my new phone.

I used this app all the time so I didn't forget things, but then one day I was going through a couple notes I wrote and ads started popping up every time I would click one of my notes.... completely unacceptable. Will be deleting app right away, this is a note pad not a platform for selling.

Not reliable. Multiple times lost important work related notes. Glitchy, sometimes they're recovered, other times not. Sometimes the lost note would be recovered if I launched the app from the app menu in settings and not the shortcut.
