About this APK

hovernote is an app by Cloudtenna, Inc in the Productivity category, listed since at least April 2015. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit, ARM (legacy) and MIPS, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

It asks for 4 permissions, 3 of them sensitive: read shared storage, display over other apps and modify shared storage.

What's new in v3.1

Remove broken Dropbox support (fixes a crashing Open window if you had Dropbox connected. Thanks Misha and Andrei for reporting this) Add note export to settings -- you can now save a copy of all your notes and move them off your device.

hovernote APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the hovernote APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b50b1bede4abfb850f14a4a37eb9ed9f.
