User Reviews

I pulled this down and really liked what I saw. How ever, it doesn’t seem to print photos embedded into the page, the pages are 3 pages long, but I loved the font and smooth letters. Any hope for updates or progress?

Love the idea of a free open-source notes app, but this one is slow and frequently crashes. I’ll probably default to another app until the crashing is fixed.
