Response from developer

Hi russ81h ๐Ÿ‘‹ Thanks so much for your message! Good news, the big new update is now live, and it fixes the issues you saw (blank settings, missing โ€œnew noteโ€ button) and brings a bunch of new features on top of that. Everything should be back to normal once you update. Thanks again for your patience and for sticking with us through the transition ๐Ÿ™ If anything still looks off after updating, just let me know!

Needs fixing

This looks great and I love that you can change between 4 split or columns, but currently the app / interface is broken.

The settings show an empty screen and there's no button to create new notes. All you get is a blank everything.

Will edit this review once it's fixed :(

Clean Interface

Easy to use

Useful novel concept but needs customization

I really enjoy using this app: the space may become cramped but the concept works really well / emulates paper much better when you note down into several categories you need.

However, it seems the choice for layouts is only โ€˜dual, 4 panes, inlineโ€™

Iโ€™d love to create custom layouts (big area at the top, two columns beneath f ex) or being able to scroll across a layout.
