Comments on Note to Self - Private Notepad for Android

★★★★★ Shane · Jul 5, 2026

It's a great app. Suggestion: it would be more interesting if you could make it more like a messenger app (not really like a messenger app), more like you can make stories, highlight? Like that. (sorry not that good at english)

★★★★★ Osian Jones · Feb 22, 2026

Great simple notes app, very handy for those times you want to note a quick thought. Being laid out in a text message format keeps it quite organized too

★★★★★ Pardus X · Jun 16, 2026

Currently, in the market for simpler and more minimal productivity apps that make my daily life easier to manage and balance. I currently use the O Launcher app to make my phone OS more minimal and less distracting, and I've been a big fan. I didn't realize how small and specific a change as "Making my notes' app feel like I'm sending a text instead of just texting notes to my partner" would help my daily routine. Highly recommend!

★★☆☆☆ R.A. Royales · Feb 15, 2026

Please help me restore the purchased version. I purchased it back in 2024 and in 2025 my phone broke. I got a new phone and installed the app but i couldn'tg get to use the full version and there's no option to restore my purchase. Pls help

★☆☆☆☆ Arizona Coleman · Jan 9, 2026

Worthless. You cannot lock anything since the switch for that function shuts itself off right when you remove your finger after turning it on. As it is, it functions as an over glorified note app. I didn't add anything past my test note before uninstalling it.

★☆☆☆☆ J Pedrick · Dec 17, 2025

You have to actually close the app to secure you notes. No timer or auto close on sleep. Uninstalling.
