I think the sentiment is good, but... IMO this list isn't very easy to read - especially as more entries will be added. I think you need at least a couple of screenshots, a paragraph of what the app is all about and preferably some sort of category to group them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

First impressions: 1. Screenshots don't show much worth the price. Yes, I know this is unfair, but screenshots which show the true value proposition really matter. I don't get this here. 2. I can already do this with Notes.app. 3. With editing features that make Notes more of a datastore than just plain ol' text, the app could be interesting .. like, a JSON or XML editor overlay, maybe .. hmm ..

> "With editing features that make Notes more of a datastore than just plain ol' text, the app could be interesting .. like, a JSON or XML editor overlay, maybe .. hmm .." Could you expand on that a little? Do you mean keyboard buttons to insert patterns common when writing in those languages?

Well, you've already got a macro interface, so yeah - some kind of inline editor for JSON records I paste to my Notes could be quite useful .. and would help differentiate in a way that isn't "Just more Notes" functionality ..

I absolutely hate to be that guy who links his own work, but I have seen my sales flatline in the past week and it's lead to me driving the price down of my app to the point where i'm thinking of just making it free for the exposure. Please, if you could download, share & rate my app - If you'd like to try the app without paying, email me at adam@adamfallon.com and I will send you a promo code! My app is a clever spi…

Your app seems really similar to Tot by Iconfactory:

That could be the reason you're seeing sales drop?

Nothing new under the sun

Tot is a clone of FiveNotes: https://www.apptorium.com/fivenotes

And Looks to be heavily inspired by QuickNotes too: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quick-notes/id1260480179?mt=12
