Ugly
- too many full screen ads
- finding trash and getting back to main list from trash is brutal
- no formatting
- no highlighting
- no labels (prefer over categories)
- when I share it doesn't attach the images, video, sound recordings
- slow to start
Bad
- checkboxes everything vs. allowing checkboxes with other text
- "show some love" after adding first note. We just met, I don't love you yet!
- the big check mark transition is cute the first time but not every time
- expand and collapse still shown in card view but doesn't seem to do anything
- can't color the cards or change color of category... finally noticed the small color card and that the card title changes color after choosing a category
- a couple of widgets were odd, when I tried to add the widget it created a note?
Good
- Clean UI
- Fast startup
- super simple reminder
- easy to add category from within note
- checkbox support
- Fast simple text share
- really nice audio recording, adds to the bottom
- add video is easy, get a nice little preview
- ad on main page not inside the notes, thank you!
- backup and restore to Google Drive
- auto backup to Google Drive but doesn't say when it will do the backup
- using Android back button saves, phew!
- create voice recording, note from Android notification list. Cool and annoying at the same time
Great
- nice widget, thanks for suggesting it when I saved my second note
- audio playback right in the note!
- able to add multiple images at once
- expand (v) and collapse (^) notes on home screen
- grid view was a nice surprise! Personally I would want that as my default
