### 1/5 — Sent Request-No Answer

*2020-09-13, version 5.5*

I tried to get help because the app doesn’t work for me. Had a hard time getting it to come up with customized menus and when that did finally show up, I can’t define my own colors. It crashes too. Basically the app seems to be here to collect $1 from everyone who has faith it’s a good product. Seems devious to me. No password protect either. BAD APP

### 1/5 — Update

*2019-10-06, version 5.5*

Why can't this app be updated?  Please solve its problems

### 1/5 — Bad rotation when trying to load photo, other examples

*2019-05-09, version 5.5*

I was just getting into this by experimenting around with my first note.  Learning the various options was by trial and error, even after running through the intro (which was itself an ordeal as ads kept popping up and covering informational text).  I have a mild disability that requires my iPad to rest horizontally on a lap stand, so the first thing I look for is if the app rotates from vertical to horizontal, which this app did.  There was, however, a bug that I found while running my tests.  I selected the button to import an image into my note, and I selected the "photos" option, and to my surprise, the Photos screen popped up rotated 90°.

I later wanted to cut a few words and move them elsewhere.  I did a long press on one word and was startled to see the usual black option bar (select, select all) rotated 90°!

There was an instance where the keyboard slid out of the left side, rotated 90°.

When using the keyboard a custom bar is added, from which you can undo/redo typing, add an image, change the date/time, and a ☑︎ icon, which does nothing when tapped.

This could be a handy app for making quick time-stamped notes but iit needs these kinks ironed out.  Also, the dev ought to make sure that ads are not displayed when the help/intro screen is active. I'll happily change my rating if these bugs are fixed and the app truly works in horizontal mode.
