Ratings and reviews

From the moment I opened the app I encountered the most annoying problem- the app does not respect your navigation bar behavior and will always attempt to hide it. There is also no way to disable this behavior. It is extremely annoying and slows me down substantially, forcing me to add 1 extra gesture every time I need to navigate back. How has this not been added as a configurable option, especially since it ignores the system's choice??

The app is good, can be termed as an offline Notion alternative. But even the app is opensource, some decisions of the devs may show proprietary flavour. For example S3 and webDAV integration was allowed from inception only to be blocked by a particular update behind a paywall. Then choice of file storage location is missing in a primarily offline app like this. Thus without backup, loosing your phone means loosing your files.

Packed full of features and regular updates.
