Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't my reminders work when the app is installed on SD card?
Android doesn't support widget, alarm, and reminder functions for apps installed on SD cards. Move ColorNote back to device storage in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Move to Device, then reboot.
Can I sync notes between my phone and tablet?
Yes. Sign into the same Google or Facebook account on both devices and enable online backup and sync in settings. Notes automatically synchronize across all connected devices.
What if I forgot my master password?
Navigate to Menu > Settings > Master Password > Menu Button > Clear Password to reset. Note that clearing the password will delete all currently locked notes, so use this option only when necessary.
Where are backed up notes stored on my SD card?
Backed-up notes are stored in '/data/colornote' or '/Android/data/com.socialnmobile.dictapps.notepad.color.note/files' directories on your SD card.
How do I create a to-do list in ColorNote?
Tap New, select 'Checklist note' option, add your items, and save. Tap individual items to strikethrough completed tasks. Tap items again to uncheck them as needed.
