Great app, but using the checkbox feature causes every edit that you make to move the user to the bottom of the document. Everything is OK if not using check boxes and it's not so bad if you only have short lists or notes. I would definitely try this again if the checkbox feature is fixed.

I wanted to give this 5 stars, and I was excited to have finally found the best replacement for Evernote. However this one issue makes the app unusable: When you have several paragraphs in your note, and you go up to the first paragraph and start typing more text, the entire note constantly jumps and jitters, so you can't see where/what you are typing. So disappointing because I was excited to use this app.
