### 5/5 — 要らない機能が無い◎

*2025-11-09, version 1.05*

先ず数字や「後日」「一時」といった言葉に反応しないところが素晴らしいです。
大体のメモがカレンダーに登録を促すappleが作った要らない機能に反応するのですが、あのアンダーラインが本当に嫌で…
その点だけでも、とても満足&感謝しています。

バックアップ機能がとても素晴らしい！フォルダ内のメモを一気にバックアップ出来て、読み返しにも最適です。
アプリ側がメモとメモの間に仕切りを付けてくれるので「ここから次のメモ」というのもハッキリしてます。
（私は更に読み易いよう、メモ一つ一つの頭と最後に改行を入れてます）

どうにも気になるのがフォントの選択…日本語ではイマイチ使えないフォントがズラリと並んでいます。
日本語で見た目の印象が変わるフォントを選べたら、とても嬉しいです。

### 4/5 — フォルダを削除できない？

*2025-09-07, version 1.05*

フォルダのアイコンを長押ししたら削除できました。
↓
取り消します


一度作成したフォルダは、削除できないのでしょうか？
フォルダ内のメモを全て削除、または他のフォルダに移動しました。

空のフォルダを削除したいのですが、削除方法を教えてください。

### 5/5 — ありがとうございます

*2025-05-31, version 1.05*

標準のメモアプリのストレージ使用量がバグで増殖し30GBを超えてしまい、急ぎ移行先を探していました。こういう善意で作り公開されているようなアプリは、特にメモのような用途では不安なく使うことができとてもありがたいです。
