    Crucial note taking app.

    Date: Aug 14 2021

    Summary: No other note taking app has been able to replace this king. I can always carry my notes with me thanks to this app.

    Positive: Syncs between devices. Works great with keyboards, styluses, and finger inputs. Many drawing options. Can add images, audio, documents.

    Negative: File size can get large. There is a bug (?) on android where typing with a keyboard does not allow you to use ctrl+b, ctrl+i, ctrl+u, ctrl+arrow left or right and other common shortcuts. I can't fathom why!!
