Notepad by Dmitry Korotkov

Move on, there's not a lot to see here. This Android note-taking app has not been updated for 2 years but has 5M downloads which is impressive. The Play Store rating of 4.5* is way out of whack with my impression. Read the review to learn what

Unreal Notepad

Unreal Notepad is a very nice, simple note taking app for Android with a clean UI and supports 17 languages. You can color notes, add audio, photo, video attachments and even draw with your finger. One very big gap is the inability to share a note with someone. I really

iA Writer

iA Writer is one of the better Android note taking apps that I've used. It's super fast, supports Markdown, has a clean UI, footnotes, and a ton of other features for free with no ads. Thank you! Thank you for subscribing to Note Apps and joining

Markor, just use it

The Markor Android note taking app is incredible! No ads, completely local, Markdown support, audio recording, and tons of custom settings. A few usability issues but those are far outweighed by the functionality and endless customization. You can import markdown or other formats and then export to PDF, image, Markdown,

Notepad by sappalodapps

This app has too many ads which turned me off right out of the gate. It's privacy policy concerned me with the list of third parties they share info with. It was interesting to see that the Developer / owner of the app also owns apps buyout which purchases

WriterPlus

I've been using WriterP(lus) for a few weeks to quickly capture notes. It's a fast and clean editor that even runs on old versions of Android. It doesn't support tags, audio recording, image attachments, in-note search, and there's no preview mode

Quillnote

Quillnote is a free note taking developed by a Comp. Sci student at the University of Thessaly. It's fast, easy to use, and has tons of functionality including audio recording, markdown support, tags, and image attachments. Best of all it's Open-Source (GPL-3.0) and supports synchronization

Ruff notes

Ruff received an award from @GoogleDesign and is worth the $5.64 bone I just threw to @mtrostyle . It's a great little note taking app unlike the hundreds of others out there, so much so that it twisted my mind at first: a one page note taking app?

Post-it Notes

I loved using physical post-it notes for my huge physical Kanban whiteboard in the office. You know, in the old days when we used physically go to the office? So, I was very excited to try out their mobile app. It was a joy to use and explore but it

Autosync notes everywhere!

Autosync notes everywhere!

Autosync is one of my new favorite Android apps. It's not a note taking app but rather an app that can be used to synchronize note files across devices – through one of many cloud services – for a low, one time fee. I heard about this incredible file/folder

Getting Obsidian to work with Nextcloud

If you want to skip the noise and get to the signal of my clumsy - but working - setup, subscribe and read the detailed Steps. Disclaimer: the setup is convoluted, involved, and not extremely elegant so reader beware. Why Nextcloud? I use Nextcloud running in a Docker container on

WeNote v3.6.4 scores 7/10

When I see this app in my list I think to myself "it's just a wee note"! Bottom line this app would be an 8/10 if it didn't cost so much for what you get. Lots of functionality but charging $8.99 for

Obsidian v1.0.5 scores 7/10

Obsidian v1.0.5 scores 7/10

I wanted to love Obsidian for Android because it's Canadian but I don't, not yet. It made me think way too much to use it to a point of frustration. The UI is awkward on a smartphone as it's trying to replicate the desktop

Nextcloud Notes v3.2.5 scores 7/10

Nextcloud Notes is a fairly complete Open Source app with text formatting, inline checklists, hyperlinks, and tables using Markdown. It requires a Nextcloud server to work and is a little sluggish to start up. Best part is it's free! Subscribe to read the complete review. About * Developer: Nextcloud

Carnet v0.24.1 Scores 6/10

Carnet is a fairly good open-source app although has some usability items to be addressed. It has enough text formatting options and Nextcloud integration which is great. I sent them a bug report Sep 18 and more than two months later I haven't heard back #fail About * spipinoza@

Keep Notes v3.1.0 scores 5/10

Good for taking quick text notes and OCR'ng a page of text. It has a couple of nice features like filtering notes by color, reading (speech-to-text) your note back to you, and locking individual notes with fingerprint. This app is not for serious note takers but ok for

Dynalist v1.4.15 scores 8/10

My sister told me about this app years ago and I wish I had tried it because it's simply amazing and was developed in Canada by two University of Waterloo grads. On the downside you have to signup and the cost is expensive if you upgrade. That said

In my dream a note taking app has this...

Here's my current view (and it will change over time) ranked ordered from high to low in response to @CatoMinor3 [https://twitter.com/CatoMinor3]'s question on Twitter [https://twitter.com/CatoMinor3/status/1457615980574695425?t=M7snBDgd-UqqsYYAU91Czw&s=19] : > "What makes a modern note-taking / #PKM

Transno v2.32.0-beta scores 8/10

This app no longer exists

UpNote v3.0.2 scores 7/10

Relative to other apps, this one is "expensive" at $1.29/mo or $18.99 for lifetime. In reality it's not a lot to pay for some great functionality. It lacks audio recording but makes up for it with markdown support, linking of notes, cross-device synchronization,

Samsung Notes v4.2.01.40 scores 9/10

Incredible amount of functionality for a free app including inline checkboxes, yeah! It relies on Samsung Cloud for sync but can also sync with Microsoft OneNote. There's no ads plus tons of options to export each note including export to PDF, image, and Word. You have folders and

Why this rabbit hole?

I started something that I need to finish: > I need to find the best personal note taking app for Android! I use Google Keep at work on my work phone, tablet, and laptop and I love it. Simple to use, clean UI, I can attach photos, I can add
