James F. Dobrow (ID: 00000000e7ad9efd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/06/2022 Great job! Nice clean, simple operation. Unlike most simple chrome notepads, this one prvovides text formatting, which is great.

Ij Lo (ID: 000000cdbf8848ba) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/31/2022 Randomly loses all notes and reverts itself back to light mode. It is unstable and unreliable. Do not save anything you cannot risk losing. Likely doesn't play well with some other app or Chrome/Brave setting. I installed no new extensions and hadn't even restarted the browser to account for the several random losses of settings and data.

Chris (ID: 0000000ccec0167e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/11/2022 Works along time fine. But then it deleted every notes without possiblity of restoring. Developer says: Data is kept safe. But WHERE?
