8.5 is Great – Awesome Note 2 Review

Awesome Notes 8.5 brings the app up from the brink of disaster almost 2 years ago, to awesomeness. A couple of years ago, Awesome Notes languished in the 3.5 Star range. Good, but not great. A new owner took over, without knowing what loyal users liked—and needed. After 6 months of users ranting and a ratings dive to 2+ range, the owners finally caught on. They worked hard to harness the power of the original app. Progress was slow, but steady. But with this last version, I’m all-in. Now Awesome Notes 8.5 has Text Formatting: Bold, Italics, and underlining! If you’ve been waiting for a note/task/to-do/date app, or were waiting on the sidelines until something appeared that would replace what you have, Awesome Notes 8.5 is IT! As expected, it needs some tweaks, like • Color-coded notes within folders (without having to resort to too-tiny emoji’s to make things stand out) • More stationery options • Fix Sync Note with Evernote saying the “Last synchronized: Fri, July 31, 2015” --whenever Awesome Notes re-starts. Resets after a Sync Now, but after re-start, the same message comes up.
