ColorNote Notepad Notes: A smartphone must, even with its simplicity

After running across it, it is one of the first apps I installed and haven't stopped using it since. Nice, light and simple to use.

Ive tried "Catch Notes"? It seemed too "busy" or over endulged with so much I got lost in just one note. Its nice attaching pics, etc, but way too much going on in that app for me. ColorNotes still #1 for me too!.....
....By the way, S.T. how much that rented space going fer?.....i is thinking about expanding!

I must admit that when I first tried evernote some time back I was impressed. However, after a few hours of use it began to irk me! My biggest gripe of course being the subscription requirement if you wish to have the ability to lock the app. Of course I could just use Tasker or such to lock it, but the whole ethos behind an app that would require me to do that rubs me up the wrong way.
I suppose that if you're happy to have your notes easily accessible and can stay within the 50mb (I think?) limit, or you are prepared to pay the subscription, then you may like evernote.
But hey, maybe it's just me, I'm still looking for the *right* notes app. I've tried dozens ("simple notepad" being the chief contender, but boy is it ugly!) but keep going back to colornotes - which for me has only two real flaws: no image support and improper handling of text sent/shared to it. If those issues were resolved I'd quite happily purchase colornotes if a pro version were to be released.

Ive switched to newer apps over the years from what Ive started'n out with back when my T.E.D.-IV was a brand new baby android. But today, I still use ColorNotes after growing a wild hair and checking out the "latest and greatest" on the "market". I keep coming back to my trusty ole ColorNotes!

Hello guys! Would must like to ask, does colornotes support handwriting/pen?

I just got the note 2 and im looking for a recommended note taking app for it.. Aside from the built in "S note" app

Thank you very much :)

Blue I'm not sure it does that. Have you tried it out yet on your new Note2?. Whats your findings?
