Take Note of This
Here once again is one of those apps that isn’t flashy, but does the job in a simple and easy way. I’m talking about TypeNote V0.9. It’s a simple app for taking notes. You can make lists of notes, copy and paste text, insert current date and time so you know when you made the list, and all of the notes can be saved to separate text files. It has a clean interface and an intuitive process. And it should resize to fit most screen resolutions.
‘Nuff said.

jimski Simple, just the way I like it. Nice finger friendly interface and good color/font size for my tired eyes. I was sort of hoping that the app could open existing txt files (if I loaded them in it’s default directory) but TypeNote can’t see the files. I was able to open a TypeNote file using PocketNotepad so….
-Create a new file in TypeNote using the same name as your existing txt file. Add one or two characters to the body just in case and save.
-Cut or copy your existing txt file into the \Program Files\TypeNote\Notes folder and overwrite the file you just created in the above step.
-You can now view and edit your existing txt file.
FYI: I tried adding my existing file and file name to the NoteList.txt file (located inside the TypeNote directory) but that did not work. The above steps work fine.
I keep network settings and other trivia in txt files on my desktop and like to have copies with me. The PocketNotepad and TC interfaces are not that friendly for viewing or editing.
One interesting note. When finger scrolling through a note it is very difficult (I couldn’t do it) to accidently highlight text, unless the SIP is opened. Don’t know how this works (something to do with sensitivity) but it is a very nice feature and would love to see it implemented in other apps. With a stylus I could highlight text with the SIP closed or open.
Also, Sensor Scroll works (you have to setup in SS Settings) and TypeNote works fine loaded to the storage card.
Thanks, Dr. Jim. Good find.
jaaks Nice little app. Simple and easy. One bug though, the time stamp always shows the minutes as :09 (hours correct). Not a big deal.
jimski New version loaded on XDA site (follow link in story). Ver. 0.9.2. Includes categories (add, edit & delete), text resizing and allows managing of notes folder through File Explorer. All good stuff.
Does anyone know of a note app that will let me display the note as a plugin on my today screen?
