Notes 4.0.4

Track your thoughts and ideas with this neat application on your phone
Google Play Store is filled with all sort of applications that could help users become more productive and not forget tasks that they must complete. One of such applications is Notes by Jacob Ras.

It sports an intuitive interface with plenty of features at hand and all sort of settings that you may use. It's filled with tools for creating notes and sharing them online if you wish.

Sleek interface with lots of features at hand

The app doesn't come with a tutorial, but you'll find all sort of tips in a note document in case you're having trouble using this app. It has a side menu on the side of the screen, you can access features easier in this way.

You can find the menu under the overflow icon on the top right corner of the screen. The app comes with material design, simply tap on the icon on the screen in order to create new notes.

Unfortunately, the app's interface is quite simplistic and it doesn't come with many ways in which you can customize it. Users may adjust the font size and enable the feature that lets them tap on notes once in order to edit them.

Create all sort of notes

Creating notes is quite easy, but the app doesn't let you set reminders for notes. In addition, you can't differentiate them by importance or even add a title. The app lacks a feature for inserting pictures or any kind of files inside notes.

The app lets you create multiple notebooks based on the information that you want to include in them. Users can sort notes by title, date created or the date when it was uploaded.

Backup notes or import files

Users can backup information inside the app, but you can only save two notes which is quite inconvenient. The app automatically connects you to other services like Dropbox or Gmail.

You can also import files from the backup section, they're all in .xml format. The app lets you synchronize notes with your Dropbox account. Users can secure their notes with a password, so that others wouldn't be able to access them.

All in all, this is probably the most simplistic notepad app on the market with only a few features that aren't nearly enough for many users. We've see other applications that also come with the option to set reminders or share notes on the internet, but this one doesn't.
