Other features
New notes are created using the current date and time as the default file name. Handy for creating daily journal entries or work logs
But the new file name text is highlighted and can be easily changed before the file is created
Active notes are auto-saved every two minutes, as well as any time a new note is selected
Notes are stored as plain text files in folders on your device SD Card and so can easily be sync'd to a cloud server. I recommend using DropSync for Dropbox and FolderSync for almost everything else
