I have been using this app for years and it is absolutely my favorite note taking app. The voiceover accessibility can't be any better. The ability to Sync across devices is huge and the interface is so simple and clean. I will never stop telling people about this app when they look for a note taking alternative. Thank you for this! It's incredible
