  • I can't backup anything!

    I'm going to be getting a new phone soon so I want to backup all my notes somewhere that I can safely keep them and know they'll be okay during the switch. My iCloud storage says that it's full. I try to backup to Dropbox (even downloaded the Dropbox app like it says to) and signing in just does nothing, nothing happens. I try to email it like it says and the email is unable to be sent, it just doesn't work. I plug into my computer to try and download it online through a web browser, but there is no way to save all the notes easily. I have to copy and paste each individual note in my computer if I'm to save it. And that doesn't even work because the browser randomly decides that it suddenly can't find the page and I have to exit and come back which takes way too long. All I want is to save my freaking notes somewhere that isn't in this app but it won't let me. My last option I think is copying and pasting each note into something that DOES work on my phone and saving it that way. Ridiculous! This app is great for taking organized notes but the inability to transport them is a huge disadvantage. My suggestion to anyone thinking of spending years writing in an app to find something else that has less of a chance of your hard work going to waste. If I had known it would be this hard to move notes I never would have gotten this app.

  • Security Flaw

    I give this app five stars because it's an awesome app which I use every day and appreciate immensely however I titled it security flaw because, least on your iPhone when you double-click your home button, as you know, the app minimizes along with any other apps that are currently open. Security minded apps will generally ONLY show a minimized version of the login screen (the keypad). That's the exact fix needed. Otherwise here's the problem/here's what happens: EVEN IF you have you have "PASSWORD LOCK" (my original proposal) set to "immediately", you can still easily read the contents of your secure notes once minimized and you can even read the contents of that minimized note once you switch to another app and then return to your N+ote. Major issue but I believe it's an easy fix for Rieu, although I have asked for in the past.I still give it five stars because it *will* be a five-star app following that security fix. Thank you.

  • Recovery

    I made the rookie mistake of cleaning my screen with N+otes turned on ( open and on the screen ). I was using a Zeiss Lens Cloth and my gestures were being read quite clearly. A micro cloth does no do this. Anyway... My gestures created a bizarre situation where some of my folders were gone, others noted that they had various quantities of notes inside them but they could not be seen. I could have restarted the iPad but I felt that might mean losing my notes. The "all notes" folder did show all my note so I went about the process of highlighting the note, select all, Cut, then pasting the note in an existing or newly created folder and adding a 'c' to the end of the first line so I'd know that it was really moved. There were some other weird things that happened but long story short ... I shutdown the iPad and restarted it. Upon opening N+otes the missing folders had returned but the notes were no longer inside because they had been moved to the new folders. I deleted one of the old and empty folders after which the notes in the new folders were no longer visible. Restarting the iPad brought them back but deleting another of the old and empty folders had the same result. So after the second or third restart I deleted the last three old and empty folders, restarted and now all seems fine. What a job. Of course, simply restarting at the beginning of all this mayhem might have fixed everything but I didn't want to take the chance.
