Does its job, great This is a very nice app, it works very good for me. It is easy to use for everyone, easy to install. They made it very well, I like that it automatically saves your notes. There isn't anything wrong, I give it 5 stars.

Does exactly what I want My needs are simple. Let me take notes, wherever, whenever, on whatever device I am using and keep them synced. Catch nailed it with AK Notepad. I loaded it on my Nexus 7, my Nexus 4, and opened the web browser on my iMac. Added a bunch of notes from my GDocs Notepad which doesn't work right any longer, pasted the notes into AK Notepad, and viola, my notes on all devices. Very pleased, and can recommend AK Notepad without any hesitation. If you need to take notes and have multiple devices. Your search ends here.

Great Great note app, does everything I need. Can we have a "weekly reminder" option though please
★★☆☆☆
WORTHLESS You can create links, but they DON'T WORK! What good are links you write if they don't take you anywhere? (And yes, I did first make the page non-editable! Therefore the links "should" have been good ones.). Dev promised months ago to repair the problem. So far... nothing.
★★☆☆☆
Worst notepad app It's a basic note taking app with online option to backup there are better notepad adds like jorta and classic notes which do far more than this app
★★☆☆☆
Can not click to view I've been using this app a long time and it used to let me click on the web address to view the web site. For some reason it won't let me. I even have everything checked that I'm supposed to view it. Now I use Catch.
★★☆☆☆
Bug Unable to export to the sdcard!! It just export 2% then fail!!!
★★☆☆☆
Make a account? I didn't even get past that screen I'm not making a account to have a notepad and who ever dose is stupid as fuc

Trust & Safety: The app requests a set of common Android permissions for a productivity app: INTERNET, VIBRATE, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, GET_ACCOUNTS, and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, plus launcher shortcut permissions. A writable ContentProvider is enabled to support backup compatibility. Overall, permissions align with typical note-taking apps and do not indicate unusual risk beyond standard storage and account access.
Each subscription will automatically renew 3 days before the expiration date for
