Notepad - simple notes v1.42.0
atomczakAbout this app
Developer Description
A simple small notepad app for making notes, memos, short or long text files
* 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).

Notepad - simple notes users say on Google Play
I love this app because it always gives me exactly what I want. just a simple notepad no extra fluff I have to learn. the only thing I don't like is I have to hit the return a few times in order to go down on a page the blank part of the page. this app is perfect the way it is, enjoy😁
App is perfect and easy to navigate, there are no adds either. My only recommendation is to be able to add photos into it, not being able to add photos has made me look for other note apps that do have a picture option!
I am new to smartphones in general and required a simple to use, hassle free NotePad function. Unfortunately, this app contains ads, distracting me from using the app because I spent time trying to delete the advertising. I hope that I have found a way to put advertising to sleep. At this time I can only give 3 stars, pending more experience with this app.
it was horreble it told me more adds afer even mor3 adds
Update 12/24/25 Now getting ads at the top and this is unacceptable! if continues will stop using.
