A great little app
     
by Soggybag · August 9, 2015

A great app I use this all the time. Works well, could use a search feature. Managing folders and files took a little effort to figure out.

Do not collect our usage

I love the app, it's been my favorite for years across many versions. Seriously looking for a replacement I can trust not to track usage or anything else I don't specifically consent to; I find it highly objectionable and unacceptable for it to do so.

Love this app!

This app is very handy for my needs. I take my LG tablet or my iPad mini to meetings and take notes, then I upload to Dropbox and can use those notes on my laptop at home. I use Kingsoft's Word program and my notes convert seamlessly. I love the convenience.

Can't sync with iCloud any more

It keeps waiting on iCloud.

I bought this, now I can’t use it
     
by Basch Von Krauser · January 16, 2022

With the new updates to my iPad, the IOS does not allow me to use this app. I paid for it, and I expect to be able to use it, even if I can’t get the newest edition, I still expect to use what I bought. <br/>It was a good writing app, but I stress the word was.

Awesome

Really annoyed that people are annoyed to pay again. The developers are making a living. The economics of pay once update forever don't work - populations of new users aren't infinite folks. Both old app and new app are great.

Hope to change back
     
by MKSong · September 12, 2016

I upgraded as suggested. Annoyed to pay for it again. What are you guys doing, really? First the classic version starts jumping around at the last line. Why? I had to hit return a few times so there was space at the bottom to prevent this happening. Fine, it's a small issue. but the new version... I thought simplicity was what you wanted? To focus on the writing, without the bells and whistles of all of the other writing programs? That's what I wanted, that's what I bought. The upgrade is not that at all. Sure the nighttime features is nice. But the font is sooooo small. it doesn't take up the entire screen like before, there is all of this wasted space on each side of the text and you can't increase the size of the text to make it readable. I'm so disappointed, and I want my money back. <br/><br/>Or put it back to how you had it. Keep the bells and whistles, but make the writing the focus. Make the font large enough to see it. Don't change the font!! What you had was perfect, and a lot of us who liked the program liked it for that reason. Boy, you add a few bells and whistles to update and re-sell the program, and you destroy what made the program special. <br/><br/>I will most likely delete the update, and simply forego any updates to the program that is working perfectly well except for the last line at the bottom of the page. A few additional spaces will help that. <br/><br/>I'd like to give you a higher review, but it's easier for me to work in Word than your updated version. Too bad, really.
