NoteCase Pro for Android v1.0.6. has just been released.
Download is now available at http://www.notecasepro.com/download.php
NoteCase Pro for Android is the companion app to NoteCase Pro desktop program, and supports the .ncdb and .ncde (encrypted) file formats, so the same files can be shared between desktop and Android editions.
It can be activated by buying the 2USD license through PayPal (use "Buy Now" at the http://notecasepro.com/buy.php page) or by using the "All OSes, lifetime" license for the desktop version of the program. When shopping, please leave your email, so that after the payment, I can send you the key file in the email.
Installation instructions for your Android device:

It would be nice to have a page where all features of NoteCase for Android are listed. I tried to find a page of NoteCase on Google Play but the program seems absent from there. Now the list of features given in this post is very small. It seems that Android version has all features of Windows version, though I'm sure it's not so. Maybe you can make a page on your website with a table of all features of Android version in a table comparing features in Lite and Activated versions. I also wonder if plugins and scripts can be used with Android version. Most likely no.
Thanks for the suggestion. You are right that Android version supports only subset of features, will create a dedicated web page soon.
