User Reviews

Users often praise Scrittor for being simple, clean, smooth, and useful for everyday note-taking. The most recurring complaint is that opening notes updates their order, with no option to sort by creation date. Multiple users also report crashes when changing themes or settings, while others ask for more font controls. Backup, restore, and file transfer problems are mentioned as well.

Pros

Simple, clean, minimalist design that many users find pleasant to use.
Smooth and easy to use for basic note-taking.
Several reviewers have used and appreciated the app for years.

Cons

Notes are reordered based on when they’re opened, and opening a note can mark it as updated; users want more sorting options, such as creation date.
Changing themes or other settings causes crashes for multiple users.
Font size and style options are limited, and some users find the text hard to read.
Some users report problems backing up or restoring notes, or with importing and exporting.

It was definitely great. Simple yet not ugly, and took little space. There's an extra thing where I can even put a note on the notification bar, which can be helpful. The bullet list function is the only thing that needs more work, and the only missing thing for me is there is no way to change or at least re-size the fonts which was quite annoying personally. Other than that, this is definitely one of the best minimalist note apps I tried.
