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.

ColorNotes is Awesome in so many ways. It's super easy to navigate. It automatically saves when you exit, thank goodness. You can make long drawn out drafts of emails you don't intend to send. You can make checklists for things you'll never do, but the checklist was easy to make and check off tasks with. You can color code them, share them, delete and pin it to your task bar for reminders. It's simple, smart, and user friendly!

I've been using this app since 2018; with no complaints. It's simple & reliable; with no bloat, no fluff, & no ads. HOWEVER... I wish the app would give me the option to copy my backup files to an external flash drive. Currently, the actual backup files are hidden, so if the phone breaks, the files are gone, and I have NO desire to use the cloud option. A simple file copy & paste option would make this excellent app so much better.

A great notepad app. I've used it a lot for years! Good features, and a stable app that just keeps working. The upgrades have always been backward compatible. I'm really happy with it. My only wish is that it was easier to back up the data to my local computer. This can be done, but it's difficult to locate the data files that have to be manually copied. If there was a feature that would let you export your memos to a folder of your choosing for backup, it would be even better!
