First they controlled Hollywood. Then they controlled all of Politics. Then they controlled when we went to war. Now you want them to control your notes???

  Joo is also Finnish for "yes" or "yep", name sounds like "yes-note".

    You are totally right but the name may still be an unfortunate choice for native English speakers

      I'm not a native english speaker. Totally didn't occur to me. My tongue somehow rolled like "zoo-note" to my mind at the time lol

        I am a native English speaker and it has taken me reading all these comments about the name and a Google search to figure out people are equating joo with Jew. I still don't get what the issue is...

          I'm a native English speaker and it's the literal first thing I thought of when I read the name. > I still don't get what the issue is... The word "jew" (as a verb) has roots in stereotypes about Jewish people and money; it's an ethnic slur. The word "jew" (instead of "a Jew" or "Jewish") is a dismissive insult. The word itself isn't inherently offensive, but it's often weaponized in English, which is why it has a lot of historical baggage that makes people very wary when they see it.

            Thanks. After searching I thought it might be that but wasn't sure because it seemed so ridiculous. It certainly wasn't my goto when I read it, but the fact it was for some people might suggest the developer should change it, if only for the fact that it might put off potential customers. What a weird world we live in.

              Yeah I might just have to change it and embrace the repercussion from that...

  oh man, I swear it had nothing to do with Jews lol. But now i know how it sounds like. Sorry! love you all.
