NoteCase for Android is the companion app to Notecase desktop, and supports the .ncdb file format
so the same files can be shared between desktop and Android editions.
Compared to the Lite edition, the major feature that the paid Pro version brings is an access to encrypted file format (.ncde).
Note that initially I did not plan for Android version to use license system as used on desktop, but to sell it through some
app store. The reasons are following:
- Android apps have lower price (planned initial price for this version is 2USD) and thus higher volume of licenses sold
Generating license keys "by hand" for such volume would take a lot of my time
- payment processing site that I use for desktop licenses does not practically support 2USD licenses (transaction fees are high for this price)
Unfortunately, I seem to have issues with app stores when trying to do business from Croatia
(Google Play does not support sending payments to Croatia, AndroidPit does, but it requires that the app is on Google Play too, that makes a "dead-lock" situation).
While trying to resolve that, I decided to release the program now, rather than making you wait.
For now, you need to own one of "all OSes, valid forever" license keys to use the program.
When I resolve the app store issues you'll be able to buy the app from the app store too.
Instalation instructions for your Android device:
- prerequisites: program requires Android 1.6 or newer
- download the .apk file and transfer it from your to your phone's SD card
- enable installing applications from unknown source ("Settings" > "Applications" > "Unknown Sources" check box)
- use some file manager application installed on your phone/tabled to click on the Notecase.apk file to start the installation.
"ES File Explorer" is a good and free file manager app choice.
- if you get problem installing the app, try uninstalling the previous version first
- copy your "all OSes, valid forever" license key to your SD card root folder
- start the app
