Customer Reviews
Neat looking
Please match up the Search capabilities of SimpleNote app. Here the search is only on titles. Without this - elements is of not much use to me.
Terrific app with one flaw
I love the app but for the fact that when I edit a .txt document in the app that it doesn't preserve paragraph format so when I later open the document on my PC it's just one huge block of text.
Bit disappointed, but has potential
While it is better than Nocs for working with notes, it has very little support for Mark. Sure you can preview, but that's about it.
For instance, to make a bulleted list requires quite a bit of keystrokes. Unlike notational velocity, hitting return after a bullet item does not give you another bullet item. You have to do all the keystrokes again... very annoying on the iPad.
So while it has potential, it is not worth five dollars.
