Meh

I'm not paying $15 just to change the color of the node box lol. Lots of features locked behind premium.

Like the app, really cool features!

I hate the app icon, looks like it’s a water intake app.

Okay app

I would give this 2 and a half I’d I could, it is really mid. I would just stick to notes guys. You can try it out, but I don’t think it’s worth it.
