Description

A simple notepad that syncs all notes with a single (user-specified) folder on Google Docs.

11/9/2011 - The source code for this app has been open sourced:
http://code.google.com/p/notepads-with-sync/

All subsequent updates will come from and depend on progress in the open source project.

Also, the "AK Notepad GDocs Sync" app has just been uploaded to th... Read Moree market and gives users the same sync functionality as this app, but with a more full-featured notepad.

Finally, I have personally switched to using Evernote in the last month, and will no longer be updating or use this app.

Thanks to all the users who have sent in encouragement and feedback and helped with troubleshooting since this app was launched.

Recent changes:
v. 1.7 - Fixed sync of note titles (they weren't syncing when changed on the phone).
v. 1.6 - Attempted fix for sync issues.
- Fixed multiple new lines handling.
v. 1.5 - Users no longer have to enter a Google username/password. App now uses the Google account(s) registered in the global Android OS 'Accounts' settings.
v. 1.4 - Fixed support for old Android OS versions (1.5-2.1).
v. 1.3 - Fixed sync issues which began Sept 29th.

lego

Don't like the ads.

Franklin

It only does what it says. And does it well.

Mark

It's the only solution at this point, but its not a true 2 way sync. DLing a doc strips all formatting, so overwriting existing docs converts to txt.

Mike

Was working initially but kept having sync issues. Copied all my notes in GDocs, instead which ties better with Google Docs

David

OK as it goes. Sync works. But no obvious way of importing existing notes easily into this or Google. Also lacks the ability to organize by category.

Ian

Asani

Excellent. Easy to use and works.

Icculus84

Simple. Easy. Perfect...

Larry

Sucks. Erased everything i had saved and will not sync. I hate this app.

Shailja

Should use OAuth. I do not want to give you my google account details. Uninstalled

Jeff W

I just needed a simple note app that would sync out, and after looking at GDocs and Note Everything with GDoc sync, I found this app to be the best.

Marty

Works well for what it does.

Sergio

Works well. Can be annoying to sync after deleting many notes.

Robin

Works good!

Excellent. It would be best to make the text show smaller.

Susan

Please use the standard API for accessing someone's google account not just ask for the password. It is easy.

recharged95

Lots of potential. Still has the sync popup stays on forever problem.

Snook

So far this program works like I want it to. Making back up notes easy.

DanMacMan

Seems to work as advertised. However, the note did not retain the title upon upload. Overall a good, simple app.

Matevz

Doesnt show keyboard on title edit on magic with sense. Would be great if you made widget for quick add.

두환

Font is too big . I hope to chage font size

Trevor

Good if you only create docs on the phone. Otherwise, only see code if created or imported into Google docs.(incredible)

Ronald

Ads.....

Mitch

Sync doesn't work for me on my incredible

Eric

Nice to know your info is backed up on your e-mail. I love this app!

Synaptyc

Worked fine until I reset my phone. make sure you sync the correct folder or you wont see your online files.

gimpy

Brilliant little app, does exactly what I need. Simple is beautiful, and practical!

James

Would be nice if it used Laugh login so I didn't have to enter my google details into a third party app.

Will

Very simple (rudimentary one might say), but I've found it solid so far, it does exactly what I need it to. Could do with a smaller font!

Matthew

Exactly what I've been looking for, easy notes that will sync to the cloud, can be edited in the cloud and is free!! A scheduled sync would be nice

Sal

No longer works now on N1 with Froyo

jm =)

Had been using it a lot, wish there was a widget and a paid edition without ads. Keep it running!

Misfit

Can't sync anymore. When that is fixed this will be a good app.

Daniel

Would have deserved further development

Was a great app. Now doesn't sync with G docs. Fix and get five stars back. Also, would love to buy and get rid of ads.

Amelyani

Does not load docs from GDocs when syncing

Subliminal Intervention

Good app to interact with Google docs. Can't get keyboard to pop up when editing titles. (N1, FRF83)

Nixonator

Will not sync new notes to or from gDocs on HTC Desire.

Ian

Great app! Quick. Efficient. Works! I would add that it needs setting to disable paper "notepad" look. 4 stars for not being able to change text size

Sami

So far so good. Can't go wrong with gdocs sync, just with it was automatic.

melwan

Plz allow the app to be moved to SD card under Froyo. Otherwise 5 stars.

Eric

Needs to have sync issue fixed. Error always pops up when trying to sync a note when editing it after the first time it was created.

Jeffrey

keyboard doesn't pop up to edit title. Therefore it's not good for us evo users.

John

Not able to edit title of docs with my EVO. Copies only the html codes of docs & not the actual text with the newest version of Google's editor

Betazep

Revised comments. Turn off latest version for text docs in Google docs and this app works great.

Bryan Wey

Google documents synced to your phone...pretty cool. Rather useful. Gdocs does folders too though. This loads much faster.

Sal

Doesn't sync. Moved on to Gdocs by Wildart

Nagrom Nniuq

Won't sync anymore.

Sync ok with gdoc, can not change title after sync.

This is a great app. Works as stated.

Jay

Works on Evo.

morrisz

Mine syncs just fine. MotoDroid.

DevAlex

Sync works (Verizon Motorola Droid). Open (from PC) docs.Google.com. Go to Settings, Document Settings. Go to Editing tab. Uncheck New version...

jgariano3

I think the devs have abandoned this app. Doc Pics is better anyway.

wuziq

this is my most oft-used app. elegant, does one thing well. to ppl who say it doesn't show your existing docs: it syncs with its own folder.

John

This was a great app, but Google broke the API a week or so ago, and until they fix it sync will only work if Google documents is set to old editor

offby1

Sync fails ; no explanation

Icculus84

Needs an update... Nothing is perfect...

Mark

Cannot rename a note on Incredible

Karl's Imposter

Sync issues. It was otherwise great.

Koppie

Yeah, sync works fine for me too, but it looks like the devs have abandoned the app.

Jose

Good app! Don't get deja office it will wipe your sdcard. This one is great. Droid X

Nagrom Nniuq

Started syncing fine again.

Cochise

Why have you guys stopped working on this? This was really great all it needed was a little more updates

cronoklee

Why does this a turn on gps?? Its a notead app for gods sake! Other than that its perfect and sync works slowly but fine. DEVS PLEASE WAKE UP!

Not sure what all the complaints are about. It syncs just fine for me, has for a while. Eris rooted w/Froyo. Jedi_wizard on twitter.

Jonathan

Works great. Wish there were nested folders so I could categorize. Also would be nice if it would automatically sync. MotoDroid.

JM ツ

Never no been updated, a shame this great app is abandoned... Ugly UI, no widget, no shortcut. but still works. call for a dev to take steal the idea!

Anonymous

Not sure what all the complaints are about. It syncs just fine for me, has for a while. Eris rooted w/Froyo. Jedi_wizard on twitter.

Chris

Sync problems are due to punctuation in title like ":". Remove all punctuation in title and docs sync fine. Please fix this.development.

Rackstraw

Sync works. Indispensible (sp?) application for conveniently keeping notes.

Albert

Sync works but why can't I change font size and color of page? Droid x

Scott

Sync worked for me on my HTC Evo on the first try. Real easy app to work with. I will be spending a lot more time using this.

Anonymous

Please don't get rid of this app, I had no problem with the sync. Motorola Cliq

Cochise

Thank you for the suggestions sad to see this go...

Michael

Excellent program. Use it everyday. Perfect for shopping lists and recipes. Great backup when synchronized with Google.

gameforge1

Abandonware with broken sync

mtb

Works well, I have no problem with sync. Rooted Desire

Aquil

Pretty good but can't edit title from main screen...Evo

Julio

Great on HTC EVO by JR 74

Please don't get rid of this app, I had no problem with the sync. Motorola Cliq

Oubidoobie

Great app, but need to be able to save to SD card....

Mark

This application has made me lose irreplaceable precious information!!!! Plan on losing information when u transfer phones. Do not use!

Jim

Works awesomely w/ my LG Optimus S!! Able to edit & sync from mobile or my CPU. Tip. Drag all files into gdocs notepad w/sync folder online

Edgard

Does not support soft keyboard in mytouch 4g Disappear a file with tasks (still in google docs) Switched to gtasks

Destiny

Can't edit title, other than that, good app.

Scott

Really good app. I just wish there was more protection to make sure I don't data again by downloading over my data. Maybe if it had a phone back up?

Eric

Needs some updating. Cannot edit titles on froyo with my touch 4g.

David

Abondonware

Brian

Use it to keep your Docs sync'd. Glad I found this useful app

MR. K

It does what it says it is supposed to. I changed carriers and my notes came over cleanly. I wish a lot of the apps I use were as reliable.

Move to SD card and it's a five star rating.

Dittmar

Slow sync but quite useful.

Sarah

5 if it can sync the folders.

Kathy

Brilliant! I've finally found a way to have a synced notepad application on both my Android and my PC. Thank you!

jslan

No oauth

fkoran

Very slow sync

Allen

Great app for those previous Blackberry users who are used to Memopad.

does what it says but a little too simplistic. looking 4 a few more features. would like a widget like note pad.

linda

It's good at what it's for.

SarahF

Please add another color option for the bg besides bright yellow!

Joshua

Needs auto sync. Otherwise great.

Cochise

Still love this app nothing compares and WORKS like this thanks!

freedum

Works absolutely great. Would be nice to have an arrow to switch between notes though

Matty

Love it !

Billy Charlton

No way am I giving this app my google password. 1 star. Danger!

Dennis

Does not auto snyc if you wip your phone other than that works great wish you could password protect your files

Marty

No longer reliably syncs from the server side! Until recently this worked fine. Lately you can upload changes all day but make a change online and you can't always download those changes (it fails silently). Only if you totally delete the local document can you ensure a full download. But don't delete the wrong one! The current *and* "new" versions of Google Docs are affected by this.

Eric

Great, syncs with your gmail in case phone is destroyed your notes will be saved.

Scott

Good app. I just wish there was protection to make sure I don't lose data again by downloading over my data. Maybe if it had a phone back up?

Jason

This one sync with Google doc very well.

abourne

Currently getting sync upload errors, and downlod sync gets HTML character garbage ruining the notes. What happened to this App?

TAZ

finally one that works! would not have imagined that mighty google would make it so freakin hard to just have a simple notepad app that syncs :/

Russ Foster

Excellent app. Just what I needed. Simple, easy too use, and it works flawlessly.

David

I use it all the time. It definitely helps keep notes whenever you switch phones

Oleg

Sync is nice. But needs interface improvement: timestamps, multiple folders would be nice. Also screensize on tablets.

This app is great, the only one that reliably keeps my Gdoc notes on my phone even w/out a data connect. Would give 5 stars for note categories.

thanh

OK, this apparently is excellent. I would give more than 5 stars if it's password-encrypted to protect documents in case the phone is lost or stolen.

Excellent app. Please kindly add a feature to sign in with multiple accounts. Then you will beat the official GDocs. Samsung GS, Android 2.3.3

Aquil

Pretty good...Evo

Narnian Rockhound

Love the idea of this app, but had some trouble getting it to sync, and I dont want to give my user name and psswrd to a third party app. Uninstalled

Daniel

Ok DWISOTT. Unfortunately, made unnecessary by the improved Google Docs App.

Candice

Great Great for to-do lists, taking notes in church, last minute reminders, etc.

Hein

requires your gmail password On Android you should not need to enter your Gmail password -- system APIs should be used to get limited access to your Google account. Uninstalling...

Melissa

Works well

jascan

Be careful you don't touch Delete by mistake, since there's no confirmation. I'd like to see further development, but I suspect that won't happen.

Rajesh

Great must have app Great app connect with docs well best part view documents offline.

person

Exactly what I have been trying to find. Only wish it would sync automatically when online.

Uday

Needs search option

sean

Perfect for short notes

SuperPotato

Great with sync to google docs. Only drawback sync need to be done manually. Add auto sync function by hour or time would be complete.

Very simple (rudimentary one might say), but I've found it solid so far, it does exactly what I need it to. Could do with a smaller font!

ceje

Great app. After android 2.0.1 update this morning it would not type. Had to uninstall and then reinstall. Now it works fine.

Amethe

Ads are unintrusive but just plain tacky in such a basic app. App is a lil slow but fully functional as advertised.

hothandao

Great job! I would like to suggest sm features: 1. Search feature (search in contents and titles) 2. Auto sync (interval time, in startup, on closing)

Vesselin

Good notes app. Main selling point is the Sync. UI could be polished (and better app icon). Add Tasks with Sync and I wouldn't mind spending a few $.

Kimo

Works awesomely w/ my LG Optimus S!! Able to edit & sync from mobile or my CPU. Tip. Drag all files into gdocs notepad w/sync folder online

urbanrio

Nice app. Wish the UI was a little more polished. App would be more useful if sync'd w/ notes in gmail instead of google docs.

ezdaddy

So far, so good. Works great and online sync w/Google Docs is a huge plus.

Britton

LOVE IT. Syncs with Google docs in Gmail! Auto-sync feature would be a nice addition.

miker71

Works well enough though sync seems a bit slow with my nexus one on wifi

Evan

Every smartphone needs a notepad, this gem just happens to sync with Google docs. Great software, its on my 'must have list'.

Tory

Best app to sync with Google Docs. But lots of bugs. Duplicates some docs & when I delete a duplicate doc off phone, deletes all copies. Annoying.

Dave

Really useful app. Have been waiting ages for this. Sync works both ways, which is great.

Michael

Felipe S. Gomes

Very useful and simple to use. Beside the ugly icon the app is great! :)

nsethi

Why do you want to store my google password. You should be able to use Oauth and not ask for my google password

deadofnight

This app works great. Could use some customization like font size and colors but otherwise solid app.

bombrcar

Great idea. Works great. But why does GPS come on when i open it? Why would this need GPS?

addheat

Tom

Works great. Initial sync was a little slow, but after that synced fine. I use it as a scratch pad that I can access from any computer.

Ben

Useful but could use these; syncc should know which has priority {phone vs online}; better way to sort notes within phone.

mark

Perfect. Follows KISS rule. Saves online and ondevice. Gladly would mini pay for this

Don

sync is a bit slow. but synced perfectly to a new notes folder. then used gsyncit to sync to outlook

Misfit

Sync needs to be fixed, otherwise its just notepad and there are better notepad apps without gdocs sync.

Adam

This is great - 5 stars if I could pay to get the evangelist ad off my screen

Darin

This app can't organize by folders. Syncing is great, but folders would let me organize my hundreds of memos. And don't waste screen space on ads!

Gregg

Does not support soft keyboard in mytouch 4g Disappear a file with tasks (still in google docs) Switched to gtasks

Na Na

Simple, usable app. Just needs folder support and an ad-free version to be a 5-star app.

wwian

Great app! Quick. Efficient. Works! I would add that it needs setting to disable paper "notepad" look. 4 stars for not being able to change text size

Phil

Matt

Installed, saw adverts, uninstalled. Free is fine, paid for is fine. Being told "god can help me change my life" by an ad is not fine.

sean

Yes it can be sync. Useful for notes. Sorts by date - no alpha sort.

Rowan

Please use the standard API for accessing someone's google account not just ask for the password. It is easy.

ippete

Does what it says. Sync can be a bit slow sometimes but overall works well. Moto Driod 2.1

Rackstraw

Missy

Syncing is nice, but the notepad is too limited functionality... no reminders, importing, etc.

Nilesh

Great concept, but keeps on creating the "Mobile Notes" folder, so cannot access old notes.

Anna Sophia

Have problems synching id colon in title. Title change dialogue box does not bring up on-screen keyboard so cannot change title!

Jon

Brad

Quinton

Glad you fixed! Thanks, glad you fixed it. Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what went wrong!

Sam

Sam Works great again with latest update!

KoG

SYNC I love the sync feature on this app and it syncs with Google doc which is amazing. I always always use this app and I'll never stop using it.

Chuck

Now broken It used to work and now it doesn't sync

James

Awful Doesnt work throws up random errors. Doesnt even save the friggin note. POS app

Sean

Excellent! This app is how the factory android note app should have been like!

Excellent way to take/backup notes Works great for taking notes because it's fast, syncs easily, and doesn't overwrite things "by mistake". If only it had formatting and autosync capability... that' the only thing I wish for!

Don Williams

Love this app! Sync problem has been resolved! Thank you so much! I use this app every day!

Porfirio

HTC Thunderbolt Awesome!!!! Just what I was looking for!!!! It works perfect. Backs up to gdocs so if you clear data on the app it will sync it back from gdocs.

Mário

Simple and clean. It does exactly what it proposes: simple editor that syncs to a Google Docs folder. Just misses automated/timed syncing.

jimbob

Just what you need most of the time Simple, easy to use. Doesn't support formatting, but good just the same.

SDG

Wont sync A good app but recent update has stopped syncing on my Samsung. Will give it a few days then uninstall

Sankar

Wonderful app Really love this sweet app. But the lack of automatic or scheduled sync isn't good. There should have been a daily automatic sync also.

airgreg

Was pretty good but me and everyone else seem to have a sync problem and I need to be able to sync. Won't sync.

Travls

Nice. Would be nice to open page with out the keypad.

Potty

Intelligent app! If you were to delete the server copy of the doc you synced, the app will warn you about it when you sync next and gives you the option to reupload!

Rye

Won't pull up any docs. Useless. -HTC Hero

Chrillemus

Lani

Soooo easy & practical After losing an outline of my book on a notepad non-sync program, I switched to this one. It is totally reliable and goes straight onto my Google Docs

Nelson

Won't login anymore... Won't login anymore, even with the latest app update.

Great app! Works really well with no fuss... Thank you very much... Galaxy S2.

/' '\ordor

Totally unreliable. Hard to install - must look at the alert in the status bar. The official google docs app works correctly.

Mark

Good app Was a 5 but recent update doesnt allow sync with my samsung galaxy s. We'll see what happens in a week or two.

Mark

Solid scanner Works as desribed.

Bill

Even though it won't be maintained anymore, I'll still use it and it will still be one of my favorite apps!

Michael

Very handy The best app for making notes. Simple to sync with Google.

Llantha

Great for work I use it for notes and office can see them. Need more stars.

paul

Doesn't show any docs

Daniel Sack

Good It works fine. But cannot search for the note I want.

Jimbobsr

Nother great app I use it all the time keep on my notes in there very handy cos it syncs with google gmail

windiddy

Very good app! So far so good.
