This won’t allow it. I want to be able to use it on my iPad. So it’s no use to me. There isn’t a Settings option so I could change it. ### 2/5 — Free stuff *2021-02-16, version 1.1* I had saved so many notes over a long period of time. I never thought that it is free and will give me surprise one day . All my note are gone !! Anything free is dicey ### 2/5 — Needs instructions *2020-09-13, version 1.1* How do you change fonts, larger print, etc. ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-01-27, version 1.1* This app doesn’t save your notes. I entered a long note, took a short break, and all the notes taken were gone 🤦🏼‍♀️! Terrible app! ### 1/5 — Boring app *2019-01-01, version 1.1* Such a stupid app and I cannot even highlight the words ### 1/5 — Help me plz *2018-11-02, version 1.1* I made backups with 3utool but after update iOS I can restore this app asking iCloud but not working ### 2/5 — Simple execution but poor index *2018-08-27, version 1.1* The basic concept is good - a simple notepad where each page can have a title, and an index to view all the titles. However - the index is sorted in reverse alphabetical order starting at z to a, and then numerical also in reverse, so organising your pages into a logical order, or grouping them is not possible. The ability to change font and font size appears to be limited to page level - you can’t highlight certain words or make a paragraph heading bold ### 2/5 — Bugs *2018-07-30, version 1.1* I hate the fact that you can’t scroll down, you can’t redo a mistake I lost an entire paper through that. ### 2/5 — Poor quality *2018-07-10, version 1.1* Very poor quality. Can’t scroll on the page so anything below the keyboard, you can’t read. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-04-05, version 1.1* Absolutely useless, too unreliable for serious use. After an hour working with it, all my work disappeared completely. Thanks for wasting my time. ### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose *2017-12-19, version 1.1* It doesn’t save data. It LOSES IT. ### 1/5 — Note just disappeared!! *2017-10-16, version 1.1* I figured out important money matters, just to have the note disappear!! A lot of work for nothing!!! ### 3/5 — Not quite there *2017-02-05, version 1.1* Simple and functional app but "search your notes" is not there. You can only search titles. Kind of useless if you have thirty page of notes and need to find something. Add a little code to do a find within the actual notes and it will become a five star app. ### 1/5 — BAD BAD BAD *2016-12-30, version 1.1* This cannot be deleted and is nothing but a pop up scam for games. I am going to have to take my phone and get it reset due to this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost notes ? *2024-11-27, version 1.1* Last night I went into notepad app which I use everyday to access personal info . The app will only let me view the last page of my notes ! I have no options to retrieve anything ? I’m lost without these notes ### 1/5 — REALLY MAD *2023-06-25, version 1.1* So I was minding my own business and when I clicked on something it deleted everything and I even tried to bring it back I’m acc raging cause I spent over a hour on my school routine.THANKS ALOT ### 1/5 — Worthless and useless *2023-04-21, version 1.1* I lost many important documents and this app is worthless and useless ### 1/5 — Fundamentally flawed *2022-05-30, version 1.1* No landscape view? This is listed as an iPad app - which is obviously better than a phone for its intended purpose - yet it is stuck sideways. I recognise the good intent from the developer but cannot understand such an oversight… ### 1/5 — Can’t open the app anymore *2021-03-25, version 1.1* Can’t open the app anymore and lost all my notes I had with no way to get them back ### 1/5 — List everything after updating iOS to 14.4 *2021-01-30, version 1.1* Loved the simple app for writing shopping lists, etc. After skipping a few updates due to bugs, updated iOS to 14.4 for the security patches. Now I can’t open app! I have lost all my lists! If you are using this app, copy your data to another app before updating your iOS. Looks like the developer hasn’t updated the app in like 4 years. So, Apple cut app off because of possible security and privacy issues. Guess the app didn’t provide enough ad revenue or the developer got bored with this boring app. Too bad. Boring is sometimes good. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-12-13, version 1.1* Lost my notes ### 1/5 — So... *2020-12-04, version 1.1* Edit: I’m not sure the developer even really cares about this app anymore, so if you’re perusing apps for notes, I would probs look elsewhere. Just FYI. I don’t quite know what happened since yesterday (11/19/2020), but it just continuously crashes when I try to open the app. It might have something to do with the random, stupid (unneeded) cosmetic/tiny bug fix iOS did. All I do know, is that I actually use this to jot down important things to remember, aaaaaand now I can’t access it. Which makes me a sad panda. ### 1/5 — Very basic *2019-10-11, version 1.1* Having just written a load of notes on a long plane journey I get home to find they’re not there anymore! Gone...lost. There seems to be no way of retrieving them, no undo button, no history button, no back button, no save button, nothing...far too basic. All there is, is a plus sign for a new note and a way to give your note a title....big deal! Go to support and it’s all about games. Sorry wouldn’t recommend this App at all ### 1/5 — Doesnt save *2019-02-18, version 1.1* Good app if it saved what u updated ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please call me on 987613798 *2022-09-09, version 1.1* Call on mobile number 9876137925 ### 5/5 — Does The Business *2020-05-17, version 1.1* Works great on my iPod & iPhone 6 :) ### 5/5 — A keyboard notepad *2017-10-28, version 1.1* Basically, if u don’t have a notepad, you download this app and u can write everything in it! It’s so cool! I definitely reccomend this app, there’s everything great about it! -get this app ### 5/5 — Fantastisch *2016-12-18, version 1.1* Diese App funktioniert super. Ich habe in Probleme in der Vergangenheit mit anderen Notiz-Anwendungen löschen meine Notizen, aber diese nicht. Sie erhalten, um aus funky Fonts zu wählen, zu. Ich würde nur ändern, die Reihenfolge der Noten von vor kurzem nicht zugegriffen werden, und eine prädiktive Einstellung. ### 5/5 — No nonsense *2016-06-17, version 1.1* Really good no nonsense basic text app. Plenty of space on screen. Good clarity. No extra stuff you don't need. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2020-08-24, version 1.1* This app was fairly useful and didn’t lose my data like some people say ### 4/5 — Nice simple notepad microsoft like app/needs horizontal view *2016-09-24, version 1.1* I like the simplicity of it. Exactly what I was looking for. I just wish that it would show as horizontal mode and portrait mode. Right now, it's only portrait mode. ### 4/5 — 👋🏻👍🏻 *2016-02-17, version 1.0* This is an excellent app bit could do with a few features like inserting photos ### 3/5 — It keeps making noises *2019-08-30, version 1.1* It’s great but keeps making noises and can’t turn off the sound ### 3/5 — Get App, just needs to be updated and polished *2018-05-10* Very cool, fast loading simple note pad... lets you resize text and change font etc which is handy when it comes to copy/paste into an email, unlike Apples notes app! However there are a few bad parts that let it down and deleted! 1) No scrolling, You can not scroll the note up or down at all, so the keyboard covers the text and it does not auto scroll or allow you to scroll for review or editing... you have to exit out of the note and then return into the note! 2) not a major but would be nice if user can change the colour of the menu, rather than green.... I hope the developer reads this and improves it, as it’s simple and just what is needed in a simple notepad! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
