This is a pretty decent app overall although I should point out that there have been some complaints from users regarding files not being saved, or previously saved files disappearing; I haven’t experienced this so it might be a compatibility issues with some newer iPhone models.

Making a solid addition to the Productivity category of the App Store is this utility which provides a simple yet effective interface within which you can create your own personal notes, with the option to choose between a variety of font styles, colors, and sizes based on your preferences.
