Notes
Every App Comrade review tagged Notes, across every platform.
Drafts is the iPhone capture app that earns its second decade.
Greg Pierce's text-first notebook still opens to a blinking cursor and an empty page. What's grown around that opening screen — actions, JavaScript, on-device AI — is what makes the app feel essential in 2026.

ColorNote is the sticky-note app Android never quite outgrew.
Fifteen years old, 100M+ installs, and a 4.88 average across 258,000 reviews. The Android notes-app that refuses to evolve into something it isn't.

ColorNote is the note app that refused to grow up, for better and worse.
Fifteen years in, ColorNote still opens to a blank yellow rectangle and a checklist. The simplicity is the product. The cloud story is where the seams show.

MyNotes is a free Fire tablet jotter that asks nothing and offers little.
A no-account, no-sync, no-ads utility from a small developer — the kind of app the Amazon Appstore quietly keeps alive long after every flagship has moved to the cloud.

Notes is exactly what its name promises and nothing more.
A free, no-frills jotter from solo developer Sea.Xiao that has sat in the Amazon Appstore Utilities shelf since 2016. It is small, it is fast, it is unambiguous about what it isn't.

Ephemeral ScratchPad is a notes app that forgets on purpose.
A tiny Fire-tablet utility built on a single conviction — that most of what you type is worth typing once and then losing — and it commits to that conviction harder than most apps commit to anything.

Bear stayed great by refusing to become an everything app.
The 2023 rebuild added tables, footnotes, and offline files without losing the singular focus that made the original feel like a real writing app.

Notion's Android app finally caught up. The complaint shifted accordingly.
After years of being the worse twin of the iOS rebuild, the Android client is now broadly at parity. Which means it now has all the same feature anxieties — just without the AirPods integration.

Notion's mobile rebuild finally feels native.
After two years of clunky workarounds, the new iOS app rewrites everything in SwiftUI. Pages open instantly, offline edits actually sync, and the gesture system feels designed instead of ported.
