Comments on Notepad for Android

★★★★★ Vagif VALIYEV · Oct 24, 2026

Cool. But I'd like it to be based on a selected folder, right on my file system. Bunch of plain text documents laying in the file system

★★★★★ Paddy S · Oct 1, 2025

Perfect. Simple. No intrusive ads. No need to allow all kinds of permissions. I'm afraid to upgrade it because it works perfectly.

★★★★★ Glyn Bennett · Apr 17, 2025

Great little notes app - simple, quick and easy to use. Handy double tap to edit a note and love the absence of ads.

★★★★☆ Jaerri Autumn-Amethyst McKinnon · Jul 20, 2025

I love this app. It's as simplistic as the original notepad program on Windows. The only thing that would make it even better would be the ability to mass export all or some of the notes as TXT files into a zip file and be able to save it locally and in a preferred online backup.

★☆☆☆☆ M Rdr · Mar 2, 2026

Was good, after some update(?) is now totally broken. Creates empty files and saves Notes under wrong name. I.e. notes should be named by their "initial line of text" but does NOT do that. And unable to delete erroneously created notes !!!

★☆☆☆☆ Billy Baloney · Jan 12, 2025

There is no 'Undo a saved file' or backup file. Many times have lost pages of text due to accidentally pasting text and closing. Easy to make typing mistakes on a cell phone. Looking for another Notepad app ...
