Hey everyone!

Need your help again with my next BETA Android app :)

It is again focused on the cloud. This time, it is a note taking app that you can sync to various cloud services (even in parallel).

It supports the common note types:
  • Text notes
  • Checklists
  • Photo notes
  • Audio notes
  • Drawings (coming soon)

Currently supported cloud services:
  • Dropbox
  • Google Drive
  • Box.net
  • SugarSync
  • SkyDrive

It doesn't use any custom views and should be pure Holo :)

Grab it at the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.cloudnotes

Or via this QR Code:

Or on Google Drive:

Really looking forward to your feedback of any kind! :)

Strange, should be working (with txt files for text notes and also images in the Photos folder).

Could you kindly disable and re-enable Dropbox sync and capture a logcat while you do that?

Now they showed up! But it creates ".txt.sha1"-files..?
But the "No notes" text shows "behind" the entries...

And maybe if the user could be able to only show titles in the list, that'd be great =)

The "No notes" issue is fixed, thanks for pointing it out! Google caches should be updating in some hours to deliver the update :)

Good idea on the title-only setting.

Interesting project :) this is super early in the process, but already looking good :) what is the goal of the app, with so many alternatives? Not that there is no room for another alternative, just asking how this one will differentiate itself.

I just didn't find any note app that supported syncing to multiple cloud services in parallel. That's the main reason why I created this app.

Hi, this is a nice project. Any means to try audio notes for free ? I dont want to repeat the awful audio quality of evernote for instance.

Hmm.. Well, good point actually.. I have been using colornote before, and currently I am using keep from Google - exactly because of the cloud capabilities.. One thing I miss in Google keep is the option to password protect the start of the app..

Thanks :)

Providing some amount of free audio and photo notes for users to test it is a good idea. I will think about it.

For now, I can only tell you some insights:
The app is using the 3GP output format and uses Android's built-in AAC encoder. My tests had pretty good audio quality...

Hello.

Part of the app is in german, while the rest is English :) I can by the way help translate the app into Danish if you like?

Edit : and thanks for the password protection :) Would encrypting the notes before sync to cloud, and decryption when returning to the phone be considered in the future? Eg, while in the cloud, the data is encrypted?

Hey, any help in translating would be awesome! :) Check out the project at GetLocalization: http://www.getlocalization.com/EasyCloudNotes/ I'll update the strings with the most recent version later today, but you can already start with the current strings :)

Encrypting files in the could would eliminate the option to edit them in the could... So it's not on the roadmap for now...

    Hi, still nous way tout try audio quality ?

    Sorry, not yet.

    I like the new in app purchase where one can choose the amount cool idea.

    Don't know how difficult it is to have the premium feature for a limited time like 15 days, cause then the chances would properly be higher for people choosing a higher amount.

    Nur ein Gedanke. (just a thought). :D

    Cheers
    I'm currently more thinking about an approach where you can freely add 1 photo/audio note to test it. And if you want to add more notes, you have to go premium. What do you think about that?

    It worked just fine, thanks! :) I have an issue with Getlocalization though.. Using CTRL+Enter to save current string and move to next, does not work as intended.. I think. When i press CTRL+Enter, it saves and move to FIRST string, everytime.. This means i have to click the line i want to translate every time, drastically raising the amount of time it takes me...

    Is that really intended behaviour?

    Have you tried clicking on the "Save & Continue" button instead of hitting ctrl+enter? Maybe you have some plugins installed or the browser is doing something on ctrl+enter other then that what GetLocalization wants? I don't know, I never had problems with the feature :(
