User reviews
Would be the best note taking all if you could just fix the text selection issue. I've emailed support. When selecting text the handle moves around on its own and selections portions of text you're not aiming for. It's maddening. Please find a way to fix it and I'll be a customer for life.

Editing on mobile is PAINFUL. Selecting text is best effort and accidentally cutting/pasting is too easy - I don't even try anymore. Rich text edit controls are ridiculously small. It's essentially unusable for anything other than basic, text notes or review of existing ones.
