VoodooPad for Android

VooDooPad has been my go-to Note pad for at least 25 years. I loved its simplicity, speed, and breadth of functionalities. In particular, I loved how it synced among my various Google devices. The current version erases all of that. Not only does it not sync, it continues to lose my pages -- just under 700 at last count, most of which are recipes that I could not recover if I had another 25 years. For the moment, it continues to function nominally on my desktop, which is not thrilling when you try to set it up in a kitchen. Primate should be humiliated that this thing is in the wild. Do yourself the favor I wish I could go back 25 years to do: get something else. *Anything* else.

I can *finally* go back to using VoodooPad as my primary app for notes, now that the iOS app is much better at syncing and editing. All I need to add that last star is a “home” button and better support for images. Thank you!

Update 2: According to the Primate Labs blog, they acquired Voodoo Pad from Plausible. Better yet, they appear to not be Plausible under a different name! I’m bumping up 2 stars to give Primate the benefit of the doubt and the app another shot. Thank you for rescuing it from being chained up and ignored in the backyard of Plausible. Update: Guess what? The TouchID bug "fix" is no fix at all. I just enabled TouchID and can no longer get into the app. Wow, how lame are these developers?!?! I keep trying the Android version periodically before spending $40 to see if the sync gets fixed. Never does. Both the Android and iOS versions are the same version (5.1.4) and are set to sync via Dropbox. EVERY TIME they sync data gets deleted, replaced by "Write about __ here," with "__" being the title of your note which VP just deleted. Plausible: Please sell this app back to Flying Meat - you guys have destroyed what was a good app, killed whatever reputation it had when FM owned it, and made yourselves look like..., I don't know, but not competent developers. I wouldn't look twice at whatever else it is you develop.

With the latest update, tapping a link puts you in edit mode instead of taking you to the linked page. Developers consider that a feature instead of a bug. It turns Voodoopad from one of the few nice wikis into one of the endless supply of regular note taking apps.

Pretty much says it all. Used to work well on Android, while always getting hung-up or having syncing issues between Android and iOS. Shiny new icon and yet it crashes the instant you add a document or try to link anything. Just dissapointed!
