However, recurring problems include data backup/restore failures and data loss risk, formatting bugs that disrupt layout, and lack of automatic cross-device syncing. A notable negative point is a trust issue related to a misleading trial/ads prompt. Overall, the app is well-received for everyday note-taking but requires fixes to data handling, synchronization, and UI stability to satisfy the broader user base. ### Pros - Very easy to use with a seamless, organized design. - Highly customizable and flexible for various note-taking needs. - Sharing and export options (PDF, printing) are available. - Strong overall usefulness and user satisfaction. ### Cons - Data backup/restore failures and risk of data loss (notes not restored after reinstall). - Formatting issues when editing and saving notes (formatting disrupted, font size resets). - Lack of automatic cross-device syncing (need for manual data transfer). - Trust concerns due to misleading free-trial/ads prompt. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Notes app Android](https://chrome-stats.com/d/de.notizbuch.notesappnotizen) — 54,445 users, 4.83 / 5 - [Notes app Android](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mikeschulz.colornotes) — 412,537 users, 4.51 / 5 - [My Notes - Notepad](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.kreosoft.android.mynotes) — 5,844,488 users, 4.44 / 5 - [Smart Notes App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.malingo.smartnotepad) — 35,363 users - [Notes+ : Protected Notes App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/in.gurulabs.notes) — 18,739 users - [Notepad App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ua.com.notesappnotizen.foldernotebook) — 155,538 users, 4.53 / 5 - [Notes - Easy Notes , Notepad](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.instastory.animatedstory.storymaker) — 1,615 users - [NotesApp: Private Notepad](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.codeorigin.notesapp) — 67,694 users, 4.67 / 5 - [Notes App-notepad](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lionadz.notes) — 276 users - [Notes App with Password](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.malingonotes.notesmily) — 65,823 users, 4.65 / 5 - [Handy Notepad with photo](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.devproject.fagundezdev.handynotepad) — 345 users - [Notes App wit reminder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.malingo.notesdiary) — 56,680 users, 4.29 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.notepad.catnotes)
