Most popular feedback for Private Notebook

The Private Notebook is the best Notebook that I have personally tried out of the many offered of the Google Playstore website. I only have one comment to add, and that is, if it were available to View Multiple Backup Files at the same time, perhaps, in Different Window Views or Tabs, that would help professionally. Thanks Private Notebook Team Great Application

One word: AMAZING. Infinte nested lists are great for documenting ideas as they come. Orgzly is fully free and open source. Thank you so much to the developer. FEATURE REQUEST: 1) UNDO BUTTON 2) make the + icon to expand note a little bigger & may be put it inside a box or a circle to know the touch area. Accidental touches are in general a problem. May be swipe down from the plus icon to expand the note would be better.

Private Notebook reviews

Amazing app! Worked wonderful for nearly a year! Writing this review as a warning to fellow writers; it doesn't like it when you have more than 300 or so stories. Sorting breaks and it runs a little slow. Other than that, works lovely! I love the lack of character limit- one of the main problems I had with other apps- and the password lock is amazing. Will definitely keep using once I've managed to shove all of the stories I've already written into google docs.

This is app is almost exactly what I wanted: a lite-frills notepad, NOT a TrapperKeeper or scrapbook (data heavy; allow pix, web content, etc.) And no ads, to boot! The reminder feature is tricky, thanks in part to a 24hr clock design- the buttons are very close together on a phone. But my CHIEF COMPLAINT is that the app can't be stored on an SD card. I LOVE the elegant asthetic- a lite app can't have a ton of customization features, but this has just enough to make it pretty to look at.

Please add date formats and 12 hour time format. Date and time on every entry looks good. A little color customization is good but not needed. I would like my entries in little circular rectangular boxes, currently it looks bland. These daily notes should be always sorted be date and time by default, that's how most of the apps are. I like that you are keeping the app updated.

Orgzly: Notes & To-Do Lists reviews

Functional, simple, does one thing but does it good, no-frills app, no ads, offline as far as I can tell. In general what I need, however there is one thing... lets say I want to save notes, set up sync with local folders: phone memory and SD card. Orgzly recognizes only one of them (whichever was used in previous sync session). So it is "either/or" and not "and/and" situation. Don't know if remote directories are affected.

Amazing app! It needs an option to toggle auto scroll to bottom, because if I have like a hundred of notes - scrolling to the bottom to see the last note is not fun. Would be cool to have an easy way of creating to-do lists. Something like a note where sub-notes have checkboxes. Google drive sync would be very appreciated as well :D. I also thought that it'd be nice to have sub-notebooks or notebooks in notebooks.

This app is amazing. Very fast and reliable. Sync works really well. I had some trouble with setting a Dropbox sync at first (just FYI: it was a problem with a browser in which Dropbox login window was being opened, setting default system browser from FF to Chrome solved it for me). Non issues with the app whatsoever. The only wishfull thing I can think of that would make the app more magnificent, at least for me, would be to open ics files so that it'd create a task with due date etc from it.
