What users say about TopXNotes
Value: 5.0
This brilliant App helps so much with the organization of my notes that I honestly think it's worth much more than it's current price, so at under $30 TopXNotes is a great value
Ease of use: 5.0
It just doesn't get much easier, other than having someone else type my notes. Very intuitive interface and opens with a tutorial for those who might need it, but if you can type then you can use this.
Features: 5.0
I rarely need styling with my notes but I love that I can style things as I need to with it's built-in WYSIWYG controls. NOTE that I do NOT think it needs better "social media integration" but MU forces reviewers to choose an area of improvement from a predetermined list of things MU thinks I might want improved, so I had to select something. That field should not be required, I don't honestly think this App (TopXNotes) really needs improving.

Version: 2.0.0
This is still one of the best Apps around for organizing notes and lists! I am not an organized person naturally, I need tools to help me, and I'm very grateful for this one.

Version: 1.8.3
I have found TopXNotes to be a top of the line note organizer. I wanted a more robust replacement for Apple's Notepad (Stickies) and I found it in this application. I use it daily to manage my text based notes like my to-do lists, contact notes, and URLs. It has many extras built right into it including find, find and replace, and encryption. The encryption lets you place a password restriction to certain notes that will keep your private information from prying eyes. The autosave feature helps protect your information when you forget to periodically save the data. It can be set to save automatically on page turn or save after a time interval. Lastly, TopXNotes has options to sync my notes with my Apple iPad.

Version: 1.8.3
Around 10 years ago the developer came to a Computer Group meeting in my town and exposed us to TopXNotes, and what has turned out to be one of the most useful programs I've ever used on my MAC. Through many OS updates, the program has worked well, with continual little improvements but nothing to make me relearn the software. I'm using probably half of its features, but it continues to work the way I want it to, and I'd be lost without it.
I've looked at other highly touted Note-type programs, but have found nothing that would make me want to change. My hat's off to the TopXNotes folks for a most useful, stable app.
