Up to last update it was going well, a nice (though unintuitive) UI, and easy back up to Dropbox. I could open notes from Dropbox on my laptop and transfer to a word processor when necessary. Now though, Dropbox support seems to have disappeared. Instead we have Google Drive sync, which is unusable for me. I've set it up, it tells me it's synced, but there's no trace of a file on my Google Drive, so I can no longer open notes on my laptop.

Hi, apologize for the inconvenience. Please use the export feature to open your notes on your laptop. You can also use the share function on each article view. We plan to develop a desktop app in the future. We hope this will help you. Again, we want to say we're very sorry. We promise that we'll continue to improve the app. Thank you! :)

I've paid for premium not because I use this but because I WANT to use it and hope supporting the developer will help it progress. This app eschews the normal, boring Material design language in favour of a lovely minimal aesthetic that would be at home on an iPhone, it's the look that drew me to it. I would love it if the app supported Markdown (even if only a preview option) and there were some additional options with regards to exporting. Keep up the good work and fingers crossed!

By far my favourite app right now. It's perfect for keeping a Journal, writing a short story, making notes or just about anything you could want to write down. I have a few features I would like to see added in future updates - export of articles and not just the whole story is one, but this app is extremely functional as is. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your review! :) Currently, you can export an article by pressing the share button at the bottom right of the article view. We will try to add the feature to export multiple articles by selecting them in the future. We will continue to improve this app. If you have any further suggestions or issues, please let us know. Thanks!
