Components
My notes allows you to take text notes on your Android phone. You can take & view your notes anytime and anywhere as the application works offline.
Proposal
Since the app is a Note taking tool, I am proposing two additional features on the app
Save As Option: Presently the app does not have the option to specify the format to save the file as “Save As” or in general does not have save option. It automatically saves your file and you can continue from where you stop the last time. It will be nice if users can save their file in other format such as pdf. This will make sharing or exporting the file easier. User might want to the document and ensure that file is not editable. Saving the document as .pdf format will make that task easier
Importing and converting pictures to editable note: many a times, some documents are already hand written. Imagine such document runs into 20 page document. Typing the document all over again will be tasking, but if the user can just snap a document and convert it to note, it will make the app more dynamic and fun to use.
- Text Editor: the app does not have this feature. It will be nice if user can increase font size, change font color, italize text for emphasis. This help in formating the file to the desired outcome

Benefits
Adding this features to the app will make the more interesting to use. There are many note taking app available in the app store but most app does not have these features available in them. Having this features in my notes will give the app an edge over every other note taking app. It will help users to keep soft copy of old documents. You can imagine where you have an old document that is hand written, and you stressful typing the documents all over again, with a snap you can convert the hand written note to an editable soft copy.
It will also contribute to the way users makes use of the app because of the ease of use and smart behavior.
