Happy Saturday! It's a beautiful cool sunny morning out here West of Toronto as I sit out on my front porch reflecting on the week, listening to Guardians of the Galaxy - Awesome Mix, and writing up this 45th weekly app review. Thanks to each of you who

Notes by Weather Radar

I was on staycation this past week so I'm taking the easy road for my app review today. There are a ton of apps that I affectionately call crapps in my head, i.e. crappy apps. I know it's not nice to call something crappy and

Diarium

Diarium is not a note app per se, it falls under the diary category but I really like it a lot for taking notes and I used it for the entire past week, 3 days of which I was on business travel. I heard about the app from Jez via

Journey

I've got through most of the good and great note taking apps that don't require subscriptions as that was my goal: find the best (local first) Android note taking app. If I've missed a great one that you use, please let me know! There

neutriNote

Notepad by Dmitry Nazarov

Notepad by Dmitry Nazarov is one of the best Android note taking apps out there. It checks off most all of the important features: offline first, fast, free, supports Markdown, inline images, linking notes, encryption, backup and restore, and tons of settings. He even has a Notepad.Lite version without

Omni Notes

This is one of the best note taking apps that I've used and it runs on older versions of Android from 5 and up. I love that it's fast, it's open source, it's free, and it has no ads! All that plus

Orgzly

Orgzly is a completely free and open-source note taking and to-do app with an incredible amount of customization and multiple synchronization options including Dropbox, WebDAV, or a directory. On the downside the app does not support image or audio attachments, is not extremely attractive, and is not that easy to

e-Notty

e-Notty is a fairly good note taking app, supports several themes and has a lot of the necessary features. You can quickly create new notes with the Android widget, link notes together, create a note with your voice (aka speech-to-text), and have a note read to you (aka text-to-speech). I

Fast Notepad

True to its name, this app is fast but it lacks basic functions like text formatting and you can't attach an image or record audio. I like the note colors, clean UI, and that you can protect a specific note or the entire app with a password or

Notas Notepad

A basic app from Seoul, Korea that I initially reviewed 7 months ago. It was not very good and then I found a few apps that looked exactly the same as this one just different colors. It appears that this is one of up to seventeen cloned note taking apps

Twos

Twos is a great, fast, and unique app for getting things out of your head and keeping track of them. I thoroughly enjoyed using it on Easter weekend and this whole week and I got more done than I usually do. At first I saw the app as more of

JotterPad

JotterPad is a great note taking app targeted at authors and playwrights although it can be used by anyone. It's fast and has all of the features needed including Markdown, WYSIWYG editing, version history, and publish to Ghost or WordPress! It's relatively expensive at $40/yr

Notepad Notes

A basic note taking app with simple font size and theme changer. The green-screen theme took me back to my early programming days with VT220 terminals. No image or audio attachments and no text formatting support but you can create folders and export notes to text or PDF. About * Score:

Calldorado Notes

A very basic note taking app with a focus on phone calls and geo-location which could be useful for a traveling salesperson or such. It looks to have been acquired by AppsBuyout and put under their Calldorado brand. There are so many screens to get through when the app is

Notepad by Paraga

Two reviews in one weekend? I got COVID on Friday and since then watched way too much Netflix. I finally got some energy to write up this review. Not a great app but I must try them all so here you are! Notepad is a basic note taking app with

Zettel Notes

I have been excited to share this app with you as it has not received enough praise or attention in the note app market. There are so many little surprises that I keep finding interesting features. Zettel Notes is impressive and free with Markdown support, multiple themes, templates, text snippets,

Standard Notes

A security and privacy first app with end-to-end encrypted sync across devices as part of the free plan, incredible! The flipside is that basic functions like text formatting and checkboxes are an upgrade. I love that it's open-source, has 30 days of change history on notes, is available

GitJournal

GitJournal is for more than Developers. It's a great open source app which is well designed and easy to use. It has a journal mode, linking of notes, Markdown support, inline images, fast search, and 11 languages. You can sync notes to github, Gitlab, Gitea, or self hosted

Joplin

A few folks online suggested that I review this app. It's open-source, has Markdown and inline image support, linking of notes, tons of sync options, as well as desktop, mobile, and Web apps. I couldn't figure out how to export from the Android app besides sharing

Zoho Notebook

Zoho Notebook is an incredible app, one of the best I've tried. It's fast and has a nice UI. I don't know much about the company but their app has all of the features you'd ever want in a note taking app,

Notepad by Eco Mobile

Notepad aka Super Note is a pretty basic note taking app. It's missing important features like bullets, undo/redo, and there's no image attachments or backup and restore function. On the plus side it has text formatting, checklists, many themes, reminders, and can sync with Google

This is a great and low-cost note taking app for Android that I really enjoyed using. It's simple and clean UI is easy to use with support for labels, easy reminders, and many filtering options. It's fast and has speech-to-text, audio recording capabilities and you can

Notes by Sourav

I initially reviewed this app in November and sent the Developer my draft review but did not receive a reply. To make sure the review was current, I tried out his update just now and found a couple of improvements although a number of the gaps still exist. I like

Notes by Turist

I originally scored this one quite high but given the lack of response from the Developer and my inability to get more info on them, I downgraded it. This note taking app has so many features and a few very interesting ones like filtering by color. It has handy little
