Forget a passcode lock feature, work on eliminating user data mining, ESP with 3rd parties… nobody wants their personal data shared, esp across websites..

I've been on a long search for a simple notes app to replace Apple native notes. It's not that I don't like Notes- it's that it crashes when I try to work within it. I can add to it but that seems to have changed recently. I feel like a lot of apps, stores (I’m looking at you Amazon, every app and the online interface too), UI, and even iPadOS are installing micro-aggressive functionality for no reason whatsoever other than they want to break the users. I returned to my search because Notes isn't going to improve.* Wading through app features is a challenge, trying to figure out how to use the dang apps is sometimes nigh impossible, interpreting the sometimes obscenely high rental rates- aka “subscriptions”- feels like an exercise in futility when what they might buy me are obscured or not even listed (because apparently the App Store has few requirements to make sure app descriptions are clear). I appreciate it when I can buy an app rather than rent, when the cost is reasonable, but there can be problems even after a user purchases it. There are the problems intentionally inflicted on users by the company: I’ve read reviews about apps because users still see ads after they purchased the full version or they still have charges for new filters, new colors, new sets of prettiness or coolness (that’s a high level of pettiness and coldness), or, instead of adding new features to an established app that plenty of users *already own*, a company will release a new app with all the new features. Sometimes the old app is left to moulder, abandoned, never updated. Sometimes it vanishes. Since there is no way I know of to assess the long, or heck, medium term viability of a development company or even individual apps within a company. A lifetime purchase, or access, sounds great and it is often better than rent, but what does it really mean? As users of an app we’re the ones taking the risks. We’re the supplicants of the developers we entrusted with our data and we approach, hats in hand, hoping that not only will we continue to have access to it but that we’ll also be able to manage it somehow, be it in another app or a straight up program on a PC or Mac. Another problem arises when a developer switches their focus or gets busy with other projects. It sometimes happens with podcasts- multiseason, often fictional, maybe with a full cast, music scores, exciting podcasts- but they usually don’t have the same consequences as when app developers drop or wander away fro

My favorite quick note. I can write random notes in no time. Whenever I have free times, I can edit and organize them with simple hashtags. Love it.

I love the messages style display of this app. And the way you can view notes for a single hashtag or all notes at once. It definitely works very well with the way my brain operates! The ONLY downfall is that there’s no widgets — but I am hoping that’ll come with a future update!

This app reminds me of the beginning of the computer revolution and the internet. The applications, operating systems and computers that are most intuitive and not needlessly complex to use become the winners. They usually have a single visionary behind them. This app developer is from that mold.

Great idea , clean and interface, unfortunately not support Arabic language

I really love this app. In fact, this is the 2nd review I've written, the more I use it. I would love to put personal or private info in it, but it would need a passcode of some kind. It would be great to be able to add folders with passcodes for things I want to keep private. I think I would prefer passcodes on folders vs one passcode for the entire app. Folders with passcodes would be preferable so that I can easily add data that is not private without having to log in the app first. Another thing I LOVE about this app is that it automatically uploads to my iCloud and that enables me to have all my devices that are synced together to have the same data regardless of which device I use to enter info on. Plus, dark mode is an eye saver! What a great app & I hope to soon give it 5 stars!

Is the declared Scan feature available in a Premium version? Seems it doesn't work at all.

I love this concept but for such a small app it has a big crashing problem. I’ve had to crash just saving or deleting a note which is a super basic function. It’s a weird crash trigger

Simple straightforward interface. For quick entry and retrieval of short-term notes it is awesome.
