I have been using Keep My Notes for several years, and Folino is the first alternative I found that I liked. I'd like the ability to add embellishments to the title such as bold, like you can with the notes body. Also the ability to lock Folino with a biometric login would be good. You can backup all of the notes to your device, and export them all to text files in one go too, cool. Tobias was quick to answer his emails too, so important these days... it resulted in me going Premium 🙂.

The folder structure is exactly what I've been looking for, having tried 25+ note apps. It's fantastic. ***2 year update - still loving this app, as much as when I wrote the original review. Love that I can have folders in folders in folders. Helps me keep everything exactly where I want everything to be. Keep up the good work dev ***3 year update. I occasionally try other note apps, but always end up back with folino. keep up the good work Dev.

I love this app! It has everything I need. The editing toolbar includes many useful formatting options. It has the ability to add unlimited nesting folders. I can search and find anything within any note. Photos can be added within the text of a note. A photo added to the title of a note will show up as a thumbnail on the list of notes. The dev has told me that he has plans for adding tags to notes. I would definitely recommend this app.
