About this app

ColorNote® is a simple and awesome notepad app. It gives you a quick and simple notepad editing experience when you write notes, memos, e-mails, messages, shopping lists and to-do lists. Taking notes with ColorNote® Notepad is easier than any other notepad or memo pad app.

* Notice *
- If you cannot find the widget, then please read the FAQ below.
- When you're finished using the notepad, an automatic save command preserves your individual note.

* Product Description *
ColorNote® features two basic note taking formats, a lined-paper styled text option, and a checklist option. Add as many as you want to your master list, which appears on the app's home screen each time the program opens. This list may be viewed in traditional ascending order, in grid format, or by note color.

- Taking a Note -
Serving as a simple word processing program, the text option allows for as many characters as you're willing to type. Once saved, you can edit, share, set a reminder, or check off or delete the note through your device's menu button. When checking off a text note, the app places a slash through the list's title, and this will be displayed on the main menu.

- Making To-do List or Shopping List -
In the checklist mode, you can add as many items as you'd like and arrange their order with drag buttons activated in the edit mode. After the list is finished and saved, you may check or uncheck each line on your list with a quick tap, which will toggle a line slash. If all items have been checked, then the list's title is slashed as well.

* FAQ *
Q: How do you put a sticky note widget on the home screen?
A: Go to the home screen and hold down your finger on an empty space and choose widget, Color Note will then be desplayed so you can stick on the page.

Q: Why don't the widget, the alarm and notes remider functions work?
A: If the app is installed on the SD card, your widget, reminder, etc. will not work properly because Android doesn't support these features when installed on an SD card! If you have already moved the app to an SD card, but want those features, then you have to move the app back on the device and reboot your phone.

Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Color Note - Move to Device

Q: Where are backed up notes data on the SD card?
A: '/data/colornote' or '/Android/data/com.socialnmobile.dictapps.notepad.color.note/files' on SD card

Q: I forgot my master password. How can I change it?
A: Menu → Settings → Master Password → Menu Button → Clear Password. You will lose your current locked notes when you clear the password!

Q: How can I create todo list note?
A: New - Select checklist note - Put items - Save. Tap an item to strikethrough.

Convenient. It makes you write rewrite memoires, brainfarts and important notes. Easy to open easy to reread. Very usable and likeable. Does exactly what you expect from a sriting app. And the tagging policy used under colour code helped me to organize my tasks, financial incomes, poetry, series &movies to watch. The are 8 categories possible. This is in my top 10 favourite apps I use (on daily base)

Love it! I use it for everything, a quick note when I'm on the phone, writing out dreams or ideas for my book, making to do lists, shopping lists, what to bring on holiday lists. It is great! It syncs nicely between devices, even my laptop. It's one of the first apps I install when I have a new device. 100% reccomend!

The latest update(version 4.6.1) messed the looks of the widget notes. I really liked the old look with sharp corners better instead of these rouned ones. The icons also increased in size just enough to show the top pixels of the next line of text which makes it look really out of place. Funktionwise still does the job.

Starting with Android 12, corners are rounded by the launcher. There was a guide from Google to change the widget design of our app so that the widget is not cut off. Depending on the user's configuration, there are cases where it can be displayed as a square, but a current shape can be displayed consistently across various configs.
