About this app

Notepad is a small and fast notetaking app for making notes, memos, or just any plain text content. Features:
* simple interface that most of the users find easy to use
* no limits on note's length or number of notes (of course there's a limit to phone's storage)
* creating and editing text notes
* importing notes from txt files, saving notes as txt files
* sharing notes with other apps (e.g. sending a note by email)
* notes widget allowing to quickly create or edit notes, working like post it notes (stick a memo to home screen)
* backup function for saving and loading notes from a backup file (zip file)
* app password lock
* color themes (including dark theme)
* note categories
* automatic note saving
* undo/redo changes in notes
* lines in background, numbered lines in a note
* technical support
* search function that can quickly find text in notes
* unlock app with biometrics (e.g. fingerprint or face recognition)

It may be obvious, but notes in the app can be used in many ways. For example as a to do list to increase productivity. A sort of digital planner to store shopping list or to organize the day. Notes can be put on the home screen as reminders. Each task could be stored in a seperate note or one big todo note could be used.

** Important **
Please remember to make a backup copy of notes before formatting a phone or buying a new phone. Since the 1.7.0 version the app will also use phone's device copy, if it's turned on in the device's and the app's settings.

* Why do I advise to not install the app on an SD card?
I follow the official advice to block installing on an SD card apps that use widgets. This app uses widgets, which are like icons for the notes, and can be placed on a phone's home screen (for example).

If you have any additional questions, just contact me by email: notepad.free@outlook.com .

Thank you.

I've been using this app for over 3 years. I can make & save shopping lists, Christmas lists, recipes, to-do lists, etc. I love this app!! I'm not a computer savvy person but it's easy enough for even someone like me to figure out how to share any one of my pages with family and friends. The Good Lord Willing, I plan on using this app forever!!! :) :) :)

From day 1, I've thoroughly enjoyed this app. Every element from just being a bare bones note pad, to the simple UI that's simply tap, and whalah there you go, the task is done. The only problem I'm having, i have recently culled the phone to bare bone, even through systems files and I've still got a problem. I've got about four notepad files it does this on and they are just over 30,000 words.you start typing and get thrown back to the menu without it saving even when you said all sizes plz fix

I ❣️this app. It's so easy to use... HOWEVER, the color choices for labeling are outdated & a color wheel of sorts would be a great improvement! The other thing that REALLY bugs me is that when I have made a list or something the cursor just jumps around & types on its own. (Casper!? you in there?) LOL Pretty sure part of it is user error! 😁 An EDIT option is much needed. One can go ahead & make whatever changes they need so for that reason I give it a 3 right now. Sincerely, ArTzY

Hi. Could you please email me at notepad.free@outlook.com? I'd like to have a chance of fixing that jumping cursor issue. You can already open notes in read mode and then switch to edit. The option is on the "Settings" > "Note editing" screen. I hope that you'll email me, so I can help with that. Best regards, Arek.
