Weird Ads

I love this app for the simplicity and now I have years of notes stashed away here, but in the past couple months the ads at the top of the screen have become increasingly pornographic in nature. Not something I want to look at. Please fix your ad supplier.

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!
