Comments on Fast Notepad for Android

★★★★★ JustJeanne Moreno · Jun 13, 2026

I love this notebook app ❤️ Easy to take notes. Has folders do you can store whatever you're writing. It's very efficient and color coded too. Also stars for accents.

★★★★★ First Last · Sep 3, 2026

Honestly my favorite app! Simple UI, dark mode, easy note-taking. I write hundreds of notes, and have been using this for several years now.

★★★★★ Lorie McCl · Sep 22, 2026

Simple and my favorite I've been using this app for years. every now and then I'll try something that's more "organized." They're interesting for a day or two, then I'm back to Fast Notepad. It's just that fast ... and simple. It hasn't failed me a single time.

★☆☆☆☆ Ivo Kurzemnieks · Aug 13, 2026

Used to be a nice app for many years. Now it has forced unskippable ads in full screen. Switching to something else.

★★☆☆☆ Stefan Hughes · Sep 7, 2026

Used to be great, a notepad that took notes (unlike the manufacturer bloatware) would be willing to pay for ad removal because I know this app works. But not an option, so you get 2 stars because ads ruin the only thing that made this app great - it's fast efficiency

★★☆☆☆ Muhammad Qayyum · Aug 23, 2026

I use this app very good but one difficulty I face is this not backup data in proper file that can open in PDF file or other can you help me to back up my notes.

Virus "scareware" ads. Just avoid this app. I can't trust any app that accepts ads from scam popups like that. I verified it's this app too.
