It doesn’t save my notes.

I didn’t save my note and I lost a bunch of info😡Please fix the app I like it.

Beautiful

Needless to say, this app is as close as you can get to the elegance of the iOS 6 notes app, and it does an amazing job at recreating it. Alongside Medley, if more apps like this showed up in the future, I would not hesitate to buy them!

I will say though I wish this app did include some features from the modern notes app, like the functionality to create tables to attach images. It’d be fun to see how those could be implemented into this app.

Awesome app for reliving nostalgia

You thought skeuomorphism is over? Not here. You have a simple but great app that should give you that great kind of nostalgia. Can only recommend.

⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️
