### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-02-10, version 1.041*

The text is right justified with no way to change it. The screen captures haver the text standard left justified.

I had to pay money for an app that didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Выглядит классно, но на айфоне работать невозможно

*2024-02-19, version 1.033*

Меня привлек дизайн и минималистический стиль, но платить ~500 рублей за редактор, которым невозможно пользоваться - это не для меня.
В вертикальном режиме постоянно пропадают строчки и чтобы их увидеть необходимо повернуть телефон горизонтально.

### 1/5 — Ne marche pas

*2024-01-12, version 1.041*

l'application ce lance mais quand j'appuis sur le plus pour crée une nouvelle page et bien il ne se passe rien ... Dommage

### 3/5 — Exactly what I am looking for, but...

*2023-01-30, version 1.04*

This App is exactly what I am looking for. Simple and clever design. But, impossible to scroll in the window so I can't use it.

### 3/5 — Data or Apple log in

*2022-05-28, version 1.031*

I wish we could save all our notes or sign back in to access anything important we may have in there 😞

### 4/5 — I LOVE THIS GUY AND I LOVE THIS APP

*2023-08-28, version 1.041*

Yaroslav has good taste in minimalism but creative aesthetics. I wish the app would have a little bit more freedom of choice. I LOVE that it doesn't have the clutter like most note taking apps. However, I'm sad that it lacks certain features. You are not able to lower the opacity of the page, color code your notes, create folders to organize notes. If he added these mods without comprimising the clean look, then it would be a 5 star for me.

 Either way this app is very cool to use, as a college student I will be making use of this everyday in class. ps: mr ys if you read this, i love ur work and please keep creating more apps!!

### 4/5 — Красивое, но часто падает

*2022-01-30, version 1.04*

Красивое и быстрое, но почему-то на Macbook Air M1 регулярно зависает и падает. Причем оно еще совершенно пустое, заметок толком не успел создать, а уже валится, как будто перегружено.

### 4/5 — Software is hard 😅

*2022-01-27, version 1.02*

Hi! Im trying to improve scroll, but it’s hard. I’m sure I’ll make it work and I have a list of few features I want to bring on.

But main thing for this app is to be ascetic and minimal as possible to elevate focus on writing. Im going to try to keep app as it was designed initially. Thank you so much for your support!

### 4/5 — I have a lot of things to improve

*2022-01-18, version 1.021*

It's my first app, I know it's not great but it's progress. I want to improve real time update from icloud and a lot of improvements around text editor.

Such as paragraph indent, drag & drop order issue, preselecting last note, scroll view issue, export in pdf, maybe text file. And a lot more!

### 5/5 — Using it for a year now

*2023-06-16*

and it's been great, extremely simple and sleek looking writer

### 5/5 — Incredibly beautiful

*2022-02-01*

The perfect app to take notes and nothing else. Stunning design, palette and font.  Best of all, no formatting.  Just notes.

### 5/5 — Минималистично

*2022-01-28, version 1.02*

Классно начало, поздравляю с релизом :) было бы здорово увидеть поддержку маркдауна.

### 5/5 — So simple, so great.

*2022-01-15*

The beauty of this app is its simplicity. No heirarchies, fancy editors. Just you, a notepad and your mind. No obstacles to getting your thoughts on the page.
