How to install Write Now - Notepad APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Write Now - Notepad APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.aerodroid.writenow-v2.4.17-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Such a nice app!!!! So useful!!!! It's all I need. But it would be awesome if some text-colors were available.
5 ★Nice, does exactly what it says. Just wondering if there is some way to add a picture or some type of display? The picture or display would be a very valuable thing to have although I know you're trying to keep this basic, but the term "basic" changes as needs change. Also it would really be nice if when we pushed the edit key, for the entire memo or checklist to not shift all the way to the bottom. I seldom need to add, I almost always need to change something Midstream which is now lost and has to be searched for over again... Oh, a search mechanism would be perfect. Something where you type in a word and it finds it in the listing. However, despite these, it's a great app, a bit quirky if you are adding things via voice to text, as it will sometimes close inadvertently on my LG v20, but a good app that I am going to keep
5 ★I keep all of my reminders, lists, names to remember, favorite quotes, etc on this app. I have had a series of mini strokes and it helps me remember, and very importantly, it is very easy to use! Love that it has choices of text, lists, voice & one more i can't remember right now. Plus you can share each item with others very easily; i.e. shopping lists, to-do lists, inspirational quotes, and much more. I have been using it for years and I highly recommend this app!
4 ★Aside from crashing after writing longform notes, there is a bug that causes you to have to go through the initial tutorial again and, while it hasn't happened to me yet, there are reports from other people I have recommended the app to who have had their notes erased after they accidentally changed their entered name. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING...
3 ★Overall a useful tool, very flexible for text notes and checklists. There are two drawbacks to the program, first is that it's not shareable with another user such as shopping checklists and it was time consuming to rebuild all my checklists when upgrading my phone. I backed up all the data but it converted my checklists to text and I had to recreate them from the text notes. If there's a easier method I didn't find it in the documentation.
5 ★A simple, easy to use notepad. But please could you fix the sorting function. I would like to be able to sort by last modified so that notes that i have added to return to the top, however the option for this will only sort the notes in reverse order so that my most recent notes appear at the bottom of the list, which isn't very useful.
5 ★FANTASTICALLY HANDY App. I installed Write Now with my usual extremely skeptical attitude thinking that it would not last any longer than my short term memory. I was wrong!! Write Now is my most-used app. The ability towrire a quick note 'in the middle of another app is compelling, and Sooo Handy. Well done to the developers; top marks! New.
5 ★Multifunctional and easy to use app. you can even pin your notes as notifications on top of phone screen.
3 ★Update : Sort by last modified, why is the last modified at the bottom ? A few suggestions for improvement: 1. Date and time stamp should be smaller font size and vice versa for the first line title. 2. Make the first line as name of exported file. 3. Able to select / select all to export to SDcard. 4. Option to have the exported text file locked if the note(s) is locked or have the exported folder locked by option. 5. Option for GCloud / dropbox, etc sync back up ? Thanks .. appreciate it !
4 ★Had a few problems with it texting notes, it didn't move the cursor so I used Google keyboard and it solved everything, all you have to do is click the ellipse on the gboard (that is the 3 dots in the menu setting) press the Google icon first. You then can move your keyboard around using the floating option. Problem solved.
5 ★It's a very helpful app for me. Being a writer, I sometimes have ideas that I need to get down quickly and I can't always find my journal. I can speak and it records or I can type it. The different formats are also very convenient. Hope that helps you guys decide if you want it or not!
5 ★I'm really kind of blown away at how handy this app is... It's just about perfect, I use it everyday on multiple phones and tablets... I also just used and love the recordable audio-note ability...! Hopefully in the future it will be able to do speech-to-text...! Thanks so much for your app, Peeps...
