The developer mentioned it would come in the next update. *************************************************The only issue I have with this app is that, when I use the shortcut Command + N, it opens another window instead of a new note. Developer, may I ask for that to be fixed? **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, I will add this feature in the next update. ### 4/5 — Good, but… *2025-04-25* The only issue I have with this app is that, when I use the shortcut Command + N, it opens another window instead of a new note.

STAY AWAY **Developer response:** Hello, We are sorry for any inconvenience, there’s a problem with our email account, please reach us at appersian.dev[at]gmail.com to discuss further assistance. ### 1/5 — Really frustrating *2025-06-04* I use dark mode, The date is highlighted and not greyed out and looks confusing. it looks like a mini title. can we have an option to make it greyed out ? also when i add new note, it automatically moves to Notes folder. i want it to move to the folder I have opened. an option when i swipe back, it asks me which folder? or by default whichever folder is opened, note should be saved in that. lastly i was working and added a note and when i switched app, all my written note disappeared. could have an option of saving the note. I email you but it didn't deliver. ### 1/5 — Beware *2025-06-01* I bought lifetime version for free but it keeps showing me to pay. Pretty ridiculous and frustrating. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-05-15, version 1.3* At first it was what I was looking for. But just 4 notes away and it's a complete disaster. Lost 2 out of 4 notes. You can't be sure that went you comeback to add something else to your note, it will still be there or what you added to it just don't get saved. I have to try some other more reliable app. ### 2/5 — Super buggy *2025-04-12, version 1.1.1* Who tested this? ### 3/5 — Automatically jumping to the end *2025-07-11* Every time I try to input in the middle, it automatically jump to the end,can you fix it? On iOS **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version to fix this issue, and we’d appreciate it if you edit your review. ### 3/5 — Can’t undo and have problem with system input *2025-06-07* Can’t t undo and have problem with system input. ### 3/5 — Need more flexibility *2025-06-01* The app needs to be more flexible for creating and moving files between folders ### 4/5 — Really nice *2025-06-23* I’d love to be able to replace Apple TextEdit with this, however, it really needs more export formats like .css .json .md etc to be a fully functional text editor ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2025-06-01* Less is more, I like this app. It just meet my needs. ### 5/5 — Great text editor *2025-04-16, version 1.1.1* Great app overall. Would’ve been nice to have markdown support but the app is literally called just.txt so I can’t complain! ### 5/5 — time saver *2025-04-12, version 1.1.1* it is fun and refreshing to use. Thank you to the Developers ### 5/5 — It’s great !! Can we please have coloured text and folder structure ? *2025-04-12, version 1.1.1* I’ve been looking for a simple app like this for a long time. This is brilliant. The only things I’d ask for is being able to have different coloured text. That would make it perfect. And true folder experience (like similar to how folders look and work in Windows O/S). Also a way of sorting folders and contents manually. But that aside, this app is still great. ### 5/5 — Notepad *2025-04-11, version 1.1.1* Love this app for taking my notes. Will there be any facility to encrypt notes in the future? ### 5/5 — 메모 관리 좋아요 *2025-04-11* 인터페이스 깔끔하고, 폴더별로 메모 관리하기 편한 것 같습니다. ### 5/5 — Really amazing edition app❤️ *2025-04-10* Really nice ### 5/5 — Really good *2025-04-10* It seems really good and it's great that no data is collected. But there seems to be no mention of cloud sync or backup. Looks like it automatically starts syncing to iCloud but it would be nice if there was an obvious mention or tutorial up front. Also a way to backup all notes externally without relying on having the app or needing to export each note individually. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-04-10* Simple and quick! Some nice tools, including numbered lists, bullets, dividing lines. You can organize notes into folders, change text size. You can search all of your notes, and export the note as TXT or PDF, too! It’s a tiny app, and is very handy. ### 5/5 — Just *2025-03-31* Perfect --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
