Ali Fakhruddin Can we recover lost data from the Notes app? I used to download the app whenever I changed to a new phone, but I can’t retrieve the notes I had saved before.

      MohdZaKye Doesn’t seem to be the way. I actually thought due to the Google sign-in and Drive integration, Noting Notes would be able to sync the notes between multiple devices using the same Google account. But I just installed Noting Notes on my secondary smartphone, signed in with my Google account and didn’t get any notes. I’ve also tried syncing Google Drive on my Nothing Phone multiple times, then syncing it on my Samsung - however Noting Notes still doesn’t show a single note.

        The application syncs with Google Drive, there is a folder on the drive, but only the title can be read. The text is not viewable.

        MohdZaKye Its per device per account for now. We restricted it as its the LITE verison. The current app is basically a Demo of some sort. Just nothing down simple notes and 1 account only as backup. We wanted to give a sneak peak of whats coming. So we have kept all the good stuff for the later. Its not only good for the users but also for our growing studio. At the end of the day we are working without any revenue stream so we have to try and see whats working and whats not. this way we could also get enough feedback before we proceed with the pro verison. For example multi device logins, or formatting, or any other features.

            Ali Fakhruddin Even within a single account, the note is saved in some unclear format, both on the smartphone and on the PC. ( Google Drive)

                Alexshax Because thats encrypted. Can only view via Noting app. However in the drive the notes are saved as .json format.

                    Ali Fakhruddin Got it. But then, what’s the point of synchronization? Just to use saved notes on another smartphone? That’s it?

                        Alexshax In the future we will be working on cross devices too. So that will come in handy. And your notes are already there so.

                          Ali Fakhruddin At the beginning when you install the app you need to connect your Google account. Could you maybe like add an option that you can sync the tasks from the tasks tab in Nothing Notes and with the Tasks App from Google? Would be nice if it works.

                              It would be nice to switch between categories with swipes instead of reaching upwards.

                                Alexshax Swipes could either be with tabs or swipe for options. We chose swipe for options in the list view. So we cannot go with tab switching.

                                  I really like the UI and that you can separate life and work but they are too simple

                                  ArifKhoja If I’m not totally wrong if an app is asking for Google Drive permission it could be to back up the users’ data. You can check the list of apps which have access to your Google Drive (seperated from Google account). Open Google Drive on a PC or switch to Desktop mode on your phone then click on ‘Settings icon’ and then ‘Manage Apps’
