APR 2022 Still works P5 Previous: Been nearly 4 years & I wanted a floating note. Found I used hover note on my Note 2 back in the day. Installed now on my Pixel 2 XL. Works perfectly*. Easy to save the file locally or share with other apps ie save to Google Drive, add to Dropbox 👍🏼 (*Settings automatic numbering/bullets does not work but still 5 stars from me since I just use this for that rare instance I need a floating note.)
★★★★★
This is a very useful app. I used to have a hard time taking notes between apps in my phone even tho I can split the screen. This is way more convenient since I can change the window more freely and minimize.
★★☆☆☆
PLEASE UPDATE! I've used this app for years, I love it, it has served me well and is an Old Faithful: I've used other similar, but it is always hover note that I revert to, nothing quite functions for me in the same useful way. (plus it is like old slippers). I just indulged in a new tablet, installed hover note and am gutted to find a message saying, 'this is built for an older version of android.' I notice there are other reviews stating the appreciable utility of this app, so please UPDATE!
★★☆☆☆
Deleted everything in my note when I tried to cope and paste from the note to something. The copy and pasting is atrocious, and it's unacceptable.
★★☆☆☆
Beyond annoying that the toolbar disappears when you long click. If you l long click on a word or link to select it for copying/pasting, the program highlights the text, but then the toolbar at the top just disappears (which contains the copy/paste, etc. buttons you intended on using).
★★☆☆☆
Nice concept but hated the saving option. Every time I need manually save a txt file. Just give us the option to save the notes in the app! I don't care about creating a txt file to save a quick jot down!!
