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 not to do as an app developer.

Ugly

• The UI
• Sent a draft of this review to Dmitry 5 months ago and never received a reply
• No redo
• Clicking back exits the app, it could show the list of notes instead
• Launching displays the current note, should have an option to show list of notes or the last edited note
• Facebook page has no updates since 2014. Personally I don't use Facebook but if that's where you communicate about your app...

Bad

• Sending an email should put the title / first line in subject line
• Open with, not sure what that is for
• No text formatting
• No checklists
• Flashes each time you change font size
• No image attachments
• No audio recording
• No Markdown support

Good
