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 enjoyed using the app and will definitely play with it again. Subscribe for free to read the full review!

The Developer responds!

Initially I gave the app a score of 8/10 but I've changed it to 7/10 since there is no option to share a note.

I was pleasantly surprised when the developer responded to my email where I shared the draft review. I had a question about how to color a note and he replied the same day! Since then he has made the UI even better and improved the coloring of notes. Kudos for accepting feedback and improving the app!

Ugly

No export or share

Bad

The pencil icon when in a note creates a new one which is confusing, I thought it would edit the note. Maybe make it a "+" to be more obvious and have pencil icon to edit
