(2024 update) Bare bones and minimal. It has come a long way since my initial review in 2013, but seriously lacks as a go to note app. It's ok for a phone because it's quick and easy, and I still use it sometimes because of that, but Samsung and Apple are far superior even considering Google's integration with it's own products. And if your at looking for a real note taking app, this isn't it. This is just 1 step above a paper sticky note.

It's half baked. The search feature is useless. Lists are shown as thumbnails, instead of showing the titles in a list, forcing you to scroll by a bunch of stuff to get to the list you want. You can't make home screen shortcuts to specific lists. Instead, you can only create widgets that take up a bunch of space. When you select a list by long pressing, you must reach to the top of your phone to press the "X" to deselect it. If you use the back button as one would usually do, it exits the app.

To users: Get it. It's the best I've found so far. To creators: It's good but I'd really appreciate a lock on it. Yes, my phone locks but there will be times when someone is on my phone and I don't want them going through stuff. Also it'd be helpful to change the note backgrounds to custom images. Would make things much easier to distinguish at a glance. Another useful feature would be a button to "jump" past pinned notes. After a few years you end up with quite a bit of them.
