About this app

ColorNoteĀ® 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 ColorNoteĀ® 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 *
ColorNoteĀ® 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 ā†’ Settings ā†’ Master Password ā†’ Menu Button ā†’ 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.

I've been using color note for YEARS and rely on it for everything I need a reminder of. Whether it's inspirational quotes, recipes, shopping lists, links or personal thoughts, it's backed up and right in the palm of my hand. Every time I get a new phone, it's the first app that I install to ensure that my life is organized. I'm talking hundreds of different notes. Super simple, a choice of colors and even the ability to share the note. Don't you dare change a thing!

Getting an error trying to sync tonight. Was last synced 5 hours previously. Came back on the app to check something and it looked like it was trying to sync without prompting. Long story short, it wouldn't sync and I got this as one message: "a network error has occured: IOexception non-json response: 500 text / HTML". Thank you! It's working now.

been using the app for years and love it! however, lately it's been doing this thing (on my pixel 7a running latest Android OS) where if I'm adding items to a checklist, and i click "next" after the first item, the keyboard goes "dark" and as soon as i try to tap on the keyboard, it jumps out of "add" mode, so i have to click "add item" again. this MIGHT be a Gboard issue, cuz if i tap on the flashing cursor a couple times, the keyboard lights up again. šŸ¤”
