A-to-Z Notes


A-to-Z Notes (paid version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.andtek.reference, free, ad-aware version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.andtek.reference.trial) is a type of notes archive (I used to call it reference, "A-to-Z notes" is a marketting name), with simple, yet highly effective grouping system: all the notes are added to a Letter of an Alphabet.
This way, you can easily find your note, months after you put it there, enough that you know what it is about.
I have similar system on my PCs, applied as part of the GTD, in the form of folder/files.




The application currently implemented with the minimal functionality: just adding, seeing, editting notes. I didn't have much time during last days to work on it, but I plan to improve it to make it fully-functional. Among the things I want and plan to add, ordered by priority from highest to lowest:

  • photo notes
  • audio notes
  • sd card backup
  • search
  • widget

These are the main big steps. Some enhancements planned to current state:
  • decrease the number of movements in reaching the desired note 
  • settings: ability to set default language
  • ability to quick add note from other applications using the "share" menu
The last three are suggested by Robin, and I'm very grateful for that.

Known bugs:
+ scrolling issue in View mode still not fully resolved - will add the fix with one of the major releases








All and any suggestions/complaints/thanks/hellos are welcome and can be added to this message as a comment or on the ksasdk@gmail.com

You can also support it, if you like the app, by giving some stars on the Android market. Thanks!

  1. Love this app (ver 1.7.7) on my Galaxy s5 , but just changed to new phone: app no longer works. Have installed new version 5.7. Can I import my notes to the newer version? Can't find an import method.

    1. Hi Finn,
      does you old phone have the Google Drive Sync function? You should use it for backing up data, then restoring on the new phone
