Review summary

Notepad is praised for its clean, ad-free, minimalist design and straightforward, offline note-taking. However, recurring issues with exporting/backing up, cross-device transfer, clipboard reliability, stability bugs, and data integrity reduce reliability for some users. Many requests focus on mass TXT/ZIP export, undo, folders/labels, and password protection. Overall, it remains favored for simplicity, but users want stronger data portability and stability.

Pros

Simple, bare-bones UI that makes taking notes quick and easy.
Ad-free experience with no bloated features or intrusive permissions.
Reliable basic note-taking experience (create, edit, save) without frills.
Good offline usability: works without needing an internet connection.

Cons

Lacks mass export/backup/transfer options; exporting all notes at once is difficult and cross-device transfer is hard; requests for TXT/ZIP export.
Clipboard and paste issues: copying/pasting is unreliable, with pasting from some apps failing or triggering unintended clipboard behavior.
Stability and reliability concerns: occasional crashes (e.g., during search), post-update issues, and UI bugs like printing or misnaming notes.
Data integrity concerns: notes can be saved with wrong names, appear empty, or be deleted unexpectedly.
Missing useful enhancements like undo, folders/labels, and password protection (organization and security features).

2026-07-03	Si*****	I always prefer simplicity over some useless advanced features. This one became my best app for my day to day work. I just hope it has some widgets so I can create a shortcut of my Important notes and not always have to open the app.

2026-06-18	JL*****	I upgraded to a new phone (both Samsung) and the app originally transfered over all my notes and then all of a sudden as I opened the app today, all my saved notes are gone and it says no notes found. I do not see an option to recover them. Has anyone had this happen and is there a resolution?
