The desktop version is useful. But this mobile version has a bug that corrupts the notes taken. I am Using Galaxy Note 10plus. The bug causes multiple red dots to be added to the notes. I needed to kill the app to stop the endless loop of red dots being added. After uninstall and reinstalling, I tried on another note and the same thing happened. At this moment, it is unusable for me.

Not only a brilliantly executed concept for note-taking - also an efficient, smooth, user-friendly app that is a joy to use alongside the desktop version. Just take 10-20mins to learn the basics of markdown syntax, and maybe an extra hour to learn about a note-taking system that achieves what you're looking to get from the app. I use a zettelkasten-based system, which Odysseas has a video about on YouTube. Sync is also worth purchasing if you have another device.

~~After granting permissions, the app was unable to create a folder for my first vault. No problem, I thought. I'll just create the folder myself! Wrong, this didn't work, even though I tricked the app into adding it to my vault list so I could select it, I still get an error. Oh well!~~ (edit: got it working. not sure what the fix even was. Great app. Am now a premium user) edit: Plugins can introduce conflicts and other weird issues, so be careful with those.
