5/5Love it!!
This app is amazing and I will tell you why. First I love writing songs and stories and this is perfect for it. Another reason I love this app and I gave it five stars is because I am not good at being organized with all my passwords and stuff like that it’s a nightmare. The last reason is because I am a colorful girl I do not like boring colors so this app just screams my name. So I totally recommend trying it out !!!

1/5The new ads ruined it
I used to love this app and use it all day every day but now it’s got these new ads with sound that interrupt your background videos - so you have to stop what you are doing and go restart your video then when you get back to the note pad again it does it again!!! And constantly!! repeatedly! I could see if I have closed the app, and then re-opened it, I could deal with that, but I’m writing notes to a teaching on a video and this is freaking maddening that it keeps stopping my video! I have to go find a different note pad. This will not work for me like this. I will check back one day and see if it’s back to normal so I can use it again because I really loved it until this started. I don’t mind ads - but ads with sound is way too much to deal with when you are literally trying to take notes…on a notepad. That’s what it’s for. 🙈😩😭

4/5Plz add
I love the app because it has themes but there should be more... When it comes to my notes and written things, im fairy organized, this app is one of the few apps that lets you have folders within folders which im in love with. Though... one BIG problem I have is not being able to transfer the notes. This app doesnt have accounts so if you damage the device you’re working with, it wont work. It doesnt have the ability to work on a note page on two devices, which is crucial for me... all in all... its a nice app but I probably wont keep it because It doesnt have the required things I need

5/5Love it
This is the best app ever, I have been searching for an app for my notes for years now. I maybe suggest a way to take web browser notes too and an email address that you can send notes too if you use a different computer or such.

2/5Best notes? Howzzat?
Yup. It says iPhone and iPad, so why isn’t it optimized for iPad? I opened Simple Notepad- BestNotes … and there it was, turned on its side, and I closed it up. It would have to be a phenomenol app to get me to turn my iPad on its side in order to read but there are so many well designed apps that fill the same niche that I won’t put up with the irritation. I don’t know why any developer insists on this limitation. It can’t be that hard to make it work- really work- for iPad users. So, I’m off to delete it without ever finding out if it’s something useful for me. Pity, isn’t it?
