Always crashing!

For some reason in the past few months, this app has been crashing all the time. I've experienced the same problem on multiple different devices so I know it's a software issue. I use the software all the time and I find it really useful, but if it keeps crashing like this, I may need to find an alternative.

Could be more intuitive

Example: Frustrating to copy text to notes and have it put %20 instead of spaces. Jeez!

Great

Love this sad this is where I keep everything!

Amazing!

My Notes app is the ultimate digital junk drawer of my soul, acting as part-time therapist, part-time memory bank, and full-time keeper of my chaotic life. It is the only place on earth where a 3:00 AM "million-dollar business idea" (that turns out to be absolute gibberish by morning) can peacefully coexist with a 2019 Wi-Fi password, a half-baked grocery list, and a highly emotional text message I drafted but wisely chose never to send. It never judges, it never crashes, and it holds my entire personality together—if this app ever disappeared, 90% of my brain capacity would honestly go with it.
