Notepad is a very useful and simple app. Creating a new note is very simple with the app shortcut and can be easily shared to other apps. In a way this does exactly what it should and get out of the way. In a way it's a text area with a share button. It's amazing already, but could be improved with two small changes. 1. Delete note after successful share, and 2. Add another button that shares the first line as title and the rest as the body. Thanks for a great app!

Updated review.The developer must read! It's a fast lightweight and functional notepad and I use it more than the other word processing and editing apps thanks to its lightweight and easy interface.It stands out with the fact that it doesn't require any permissions & it's totally ad-free. It doesn't seem to be reading our notes either. Now it's even better with the search feature. Please add "favorites" and "create a folder" features and it will be the best notepad ever made for android platform

I love this app. It's as simplistic as the original notepad program in Windows. The only thing that would make it even better would be the ability to mass export all or some of the notes as TXT files into a zip file and be able to save it locally and in a preferred online backup.
