Kazzy Crimson (ID: 0000002847588ec9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/13/2023 Really useful tool where I can store all my text items that I need to reproduce regularly. The only thing that could make this tool even better would be the ability to resize the text window. Some of my recurring text blocks are quite long and not being able to see them full is quite annoying.

James F. Dobrow (ID: 00000000e7ad9efd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/16/2023 Great job!. Full text formatting in an extension is a super feature. And being able to create multiple notes is very nice. Dragging and dropping to change the note order would be on my wish list. Great job! Thanks again.

Stephen Alexander (ID: 000000b58d391cc1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/27/2022 This is the first extension I install in any new Edge or Chrome browser on any new machine. It's wonderful for all sorts of things and works beautifully. I've tried over two dozen other notepad add-ins, and none of them come close to Advanced Notepad in ability and ease of use. Thanks, programmers!
