Simple and straight to the point.

pretty cool!

i like the simplicity, some note apps get too cluttered with features and it ends up becoming intimidating. also, thank you for not making the ads so annoying! definitely keep how simple your app is. i like the page flipping gimmick too and how you organize the dates, but i would like it if you can insert images as well. besides that tho great job!
