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:

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..

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...

Yep, uploading to Groups and Events is on my todo list.
Exporting a photo from dropbox to photup, crashes the latter. I've sent you a couple of crash reports.
I like it so far, although i wish i could just upload photos to the predifined "Mobile Uploads" album that the official facebook app uses.
This application has some potential there, keep it up

BEFORE REPLYING ON THIS TOPIC WITH YOUR REQUEST PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS TO MOST REQUESTED FEATURES
- Access to notes by website and other OS devices like Windows
Due to the cost of hosting a service that would allow access to the notes by a website this feature is not planned in the up coming months.
- Adding photo's / drawings and handwriting
Note list is currently focusing on getting the best user experience for writing notes by keyboard.
There are many items that I want to implement before switching the focus on other kind of note taking options.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ
If you are an Android developer and want to write a widget or other app that communicates with Note list, you can use the Note list content provider.
The content provider allows you to communicate (read only) with Note list and query data from the app.
The data specifications of the content provider can be found at this GitHub project:
Note list development library
You will need to add the Note list read data permission to your app manifest, this will be visible to the user.
The user also needs to allow third party apps to read data from Note l!st, this is a setting in the preference screen in Note list.
If you have published an app that uses the Note l!st content provider, you can join the beta test community on Google+ to test your code before updates get published. Contact me with a link to your app and I will send you an invitation.

For a full explanation on what permissions the app requires and how they are used please read the Note list privacy policy:

No there is no backup or restore feature at the moment. I'm thinking on how I want to implement such features. My initial idea was to create my own cloud service. This would give me more options and better synchronization performance. But hosting a service like that cost money and the app only generates a few dollars each month. So if the download numbers do not go up a lot in the up coming weeks it's no option. Therefor I'm now looking into other cloud solutions like synchronizing with dropbox. However this will be less efficient and more limited than running my own service, also users can alter the files on dropbox and break the synchronization. It's not ideal but at the moment it looks like the only way for my to create a synchronization/backup feature.
Other backup features could be saving the notes to the sd card. I Do want to write something like that in the future.
At the moment the only way to export your notes from the app is by using the share function, that way you can save it to a email or text file. But it's one note at the time and you can not read them back into the app.
If anyone has good ideas please let me know, I'm still looking for the best solution.

Txt files in Dropbox is a great idea. Being able to edit them elsewhere is a benefit.

Its compatible from 2.2 and up. I Had to drop support for 2.1 in last update. But almost every 2,x device is upgraded to 2.3.x anyway.
Offline backup would be nice yes. I Should be able do reuse most code for offline and cloud backup.
Elegant UI I will try it

I Write them all down and hope to be able to build them in the future.
R: [APP][2.2+] My note's app "Note l!st" v2.4
Very well done app! You may add the cloud sync and it become one of the greatest!
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk 2
Very nice design
I install it and going to test..
And possibly send a donation
The app looks great! I've just downloaded it and will give it a test ride.
My suggestion for an online sync - box.com
It gives users a possibility to map the cloud drive as additional HDD through webDAV. I am not sure what options for cloud sync you have in mind, but I think that since the webDAV folders act as local drives it can give you a wide range of possibilities.
Framework
You used any framework for UI?
What an absolutely brilliant note taking app!!
I really hope to see cloud sync (to Dropbox would be awesome) and an accommodating Windows based app so that notes can be added/deleted/edited etc on a PC.
Multi selection of items to apply batch actions (e.g.: delete) would also be good.
I'll definitely be donating for this one. Thank you!
EDIT: Donation sent. Keep up the fantastic work and most all - please keep it simple. There is nothing worse then an overcomplicated, sluggish, note taking app.

The app is great, but the email password recovery should be optional. The way it is ruins any security the app offers. If someone is using my tablet then they have access to my email and thereby my "private" videos/pictures.

Hi all,
I've made a super simple app for reading news using news-api. It shows sources (groupped by categories). So in short, app can:
Add xml feeds sources to the app
Show each source latest news
Show a preview of news (with basic Share and Open in browser options)
Tries to fetch the full content of the news including images
Show latest news of Favorite sourcess
Shows you a bookmarked list or articles
Download on Google Play Store: Latest News
Screenshots:

TODO:
optimization everything for the tablet devices
select preferred language
Thank you for being an alpha tester. Please keep in mind that...
I'm opened for requests/ideas
I'll even fix any bugs you find!
Will change the name of the app to something better, since "latest news" will return at least 3029482093480 items when using search on google play store.

Gregor :good:
Rollout of new release has started:
Version 0.0.1 build 6
- Improved speed of scrolling in Favorites list and News of Source
- Implemented the grabber system which fetches the whole article and parse possible text of article including images (this is alpha of alpha app!)

Another huge update being rolled out today: Custom feeds!
There's been lots of refactoring, small fixes and improvements, but the biggest thing is finally implemented. Adding custom feeds. Just add the url of the news page or direct feed url (example http://www.cbc.ca/news), select a category and hope for the best!
Feel free to report any bugs you find.
After some release-break, here's yet another one. This has been an amazing month with a-lot of effort going towards development. Started as a simple newsapi client, I've got a few requests for which, I was sure it will take a while to implement them all. Since today, Latest News includes:
- a superb wizard just to remind you its beginner friendly,
- revamped source adding, which doesn't relly on newsapi anymore but uses own methods to fetch xml feeds and parse the data,
- super awesome grabber(tm), which downloads and parses the whole article from the websites, removes everything except the text story and images.
- an awesome back-end synchronization, which makes sure, your sources are always safe,
- and increadible new and redesigned menu (yea, this deserves a place on the list too!) and extra animations
It has been an awesome month.
Now, its up to people to start using it
Another update has been pushed to beta channel:
- added feeds Gruenderszene, NBA, JS weekly, Android Police, XDA-developers, Mac Rumors
- update sync so it will now handle a conflict between different remote/local entries; you will now have options to overwrite local, db or merge both,
- added read flag to article after it has been read.
- fixed the issue with images not being overwritten after refreshing the articles
- fixed the width of items which text isn't long,
- synchronizing favorites should now also work better
Enjoy!
Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce the first PRODUCTION release being rolled out.
Enjoy and don't forget to submit any bugs you find or feeds suggestions you would like to see in the app.

Wow the app is really cool. I will give it a try for a few days and see what It can do.
Just a question: can you add a way to login using Google account? There's a lot of passwords to remember and using Google is much better, with synchronization is superb.
PS: If you need someone to help you translating to portuguese let me know.
Finally an app that allows me read short rss feeds in full. Loves it. Please any plans for an import feature so I can import my feedly subscriptions? Thanks
plans to add to XDA labs or f droid?

Wow the app is really cool. I will give it a try for a few days and see what It can do.

Hi @udegbunamchuks - Just checked the OPML generated and yes, this is doable. You woulld like to see an option to import the exact OPML file, right? Sadly, it will take longer than one afternoon. Hope to keep you in the app until then :good:

With that, do you just mean if I plan to list the app on both services or completely open-source the code?
listing mostly but OS would be nice also.
feel like it would get more love at xda and f Droid.
btw been testing it and working great. been looking for a good rss reader for a long time.

thank you so much for your feedback. I will bring it on f-droid and xda labs in the future
None of my sources in this app shows any pictures. I even added MTV News since you used that in your screenshots and yours shows pictures for each article. It doesn't show any pictures on mine.

good evening @sourbear and thank you for your report. Just for test, please try adding "neowin". There are A LOT of sources, that just don't add image as leading article image (default rss image for specific article). However, it just happened none of your picked up source articles currently dont include any images.
MTV, at that time, had images, I've tested it again and what you found is correct. (Shame on them! ). Give them all a day or two.... you will start seeing them eventually. :good:
math in blogs
This is a great news for me, as I have been using feedMe for some time, but it cannot display mathjax properly.
So, two questions, do you plan to add mathjax/mathml support, and offline support as well?? Right now I tried https://terrytao.wordpress.com/feed/ and the math is not shown properly. Some formulas appear too big, some don't appear at all. Thank you for your work @greglord

Hi there
I will take a look immediatelly what's going on with those formulas!
Update @gilcu3
Just checked the source of the article and... oh my So far, I've made the formulas visible, however, since there is so much mixing between paragraphs and images (formulas), the "grabber" does not add texts to the full story. I humby ask for re-test after new update. If the content isn't something that suits you, I will invest more time and refactor the grabber to be more smart.
Hello guys !
A few days ago, I released the app I've been working on for the about 2 years - PhotoGuard.
PhotoGuard is basically a photo vault and it will protect your photos & videos.
The main architecture was shared with some of the best security consultants, applying it.
Knowing my competitors, best efforts were taken on:
1. Security - Making sure that the encrypted files will be stored on the user's devices (without any servers involved), and indeed unbreakable without knowing someone's passphrase. (If anyone would like to know extra information about the way it was implemented in the app, send me a message please)
2. UI/UX - Making sure that the security layer is as much as transparent to the endpoint user, so that the UI/UX is beautiful and smooth.
Currently the app doesn't have any ads or premium payments (even though the app page states there are), so it's totally free app.
I'll be very glad if you guys are willing to visit the app page and try using this really amazing app.

Thanks for sharing the app. Does it allow you to have multiple vaults with different PINs? Can we sync to Google Drive? TIA!

Thank you!
The app has albums and you can apply a password to each of the albums, so basically an album can be treated as a standalone vault.
There will be a sync to Google Drive and other cloud services in the coming updates!
Great, thanks!
I would *love* it if this was open source. It seems all vaults - entrusted with out most private pictures and documents - require us to blindly trust the publishers not to do anything bad or copy them. Would this be something you would be able to alay by going open source?
Edit: a dark theme would be amazing!
Furthermore, many XDA users are privacy-savvy and going open source would likely get you on f-droid and privacytools.io and their reddit sub, you'd reach so many users this way. Please think abount going open sauce

Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to hide the albums? I usually have 2 or 3 "vaults" independent from each other. For what I understand you can set password for every album, but all of them will be visible on the "front page", correct?

The albums are shown but without a "front page", if you set a password to the album, the "front page" which is basically the last photo in the album is not visible and users will see a "locked album" icon.

Just started using this after switching from GalleryVault. It's fast, but could do with a few things: unhide to original location, fast select/select all when adding/unhiding, backup/restore

I'm very glad you're using PhotoGuard, thank you for the suggestions!
1. Unhiding to original location: I think it would be a bit problematic. What happens if the user doesn't remember from which album/folder he originally took it from, furthermore, what location do pictures/videos that are taken in the app itself should be exported to?
2. select all - a feature that will be available within the app when selecting items to export/share/delete.
3. backup/restore - The app saves its encrypted data in the external storage. which means that the data is backed up automatically. So when you install the app back, it recgonizes your existing vault with the data in it.
The next significant feature that will be added to PhotoGuard is a private encrypted cloud that will be available to users using their Google Drive account.

Ive been using GalleryVault for a very long time now, which one do you prefer more?
How is the encryption on this App, would anyone be able to like "hack" my Pictures on there? I'm just curious because I found nothing about that in GalleryVault and it seems interesting if this App can do that better

I still prefer GalleryVault, but I'm midful of it being close source and their sync option is pushed heavily. I do not want my stuff in the cloud.
I'm not sure on either's encryption, but oyu have to trust something.
This seems fricking great, im currently using eds to protect my videos and photos, have you tough about this app protect videos as well? Thanks man really nice app
How about a mirror for those of us who don't use Google services??
Nice!, I was looking for an on the fly camera with encryption, I was using SafeCamera for a long time.
- When rotate the phone during a video play, it starts the decryption again I think.
- Pictures and videos won't keep the normal view as taken in another camera, I mean the pic keeps "sideway", so If I rotate the phone the pic rotate again
- Any plan to create a tool for PC as SafeCamera has?
Thanks again, great job!
Would you add a private browser /incognito.?
-please *no* browser, keep it a gallery
-new look&feel...I can't see any difference
-app feels fast, but a dark theme would be nice
-please remember where photos are added from so when they're removed/unhidden from the app they can be restored to their original folder AND original file name - app shouldn't touch any file info
-backup/restore would be nice to transfer between devices encrypted.
-break in attempts could be something to look at ie capture front camera image from incorrect pin/fingerprint
-in albums, list & current gallery view would be nice
-viewing an image, text overlay of image number ie 34/300 perhaps
-I'm hugely against a cloud link, but do what you will
re 'What happens if the user doesn't remember from which album/folder he originally took it from, furthermore, what location do pictures/videos that are taken in the app itself should be exported to?'
That's the point, the user doesn't need to remember the original folder, just restore it to the one it came from or give the option to. App-captured images should to to the folder you currently export them to, PhotoGuardPublic.
