## Review summary

Many users praise the app for its easy, simple interface and good note-taking/journaling flow. However, a large number report critical stability issues after purchases or upgrades—crashes on launch, the app closing unexpectedly, and even loss of notes or inability to restore data. The conflicting experiences suggest a stability problem tied to paid upgrades, with a strong call for fixes and data retention.

- Great for quick note-taking and journaling

### Cons

- Crashes or won't open after upgrading/purchasing (paid upgrade causes crashes)
