Great app, I rated 5 star before, however had to downgrade to 3 because recently there's a bug that randomly instantly scrolls the note to the very bottom. When you try to scroll back up, after less than a sentence, it scrolls you back to the bottom again. Sometimes it just scrolls you down such that the line you're typing on is at the very top of your view. Super random and annoying.

Almost perfect! Love that you can lock and organize notes, only peeve is when using the checklist adding a new bulletpoint drops it to the very bottom of the list, rather than bottom of the page I'm looking at. It makes sense to do it this way logically of course, but functionally... oftentimes I'm editting grocery lists and have a looong list, and if you're organizing things to be more efficient at the store it's a bit frustrating dragging something from the very bottom of a long list.
