The NC native file viewers are surprisingly pleasant and versatile. Go to My Files and click on a .xlsx file you've sideloaded and a reasonable static representation of the spreadsheet shows up. Same for other supported formats. The NC website makes a big deal about it. For a book/file reader, that's all that's needed.

In other words, they are tracking you and watching what you are entering, it seems to me. Yikes! It seemed like the most invasive app I ever heard of. And this after I just read a few articles about how mobile apps can be very invasive and you don't even know it.
So now you know how they are making money - by putting links (i.e. ads) into your entries. No thanks!

I'd be surprised if that's enough to make any profit. I can see them selling it to advertisers that way, but after a few years, I doubt they get much money net. If they're going out of business (likely), or selling my email address to someone (they claim not), I'll probably kill them off. The service does work as advertised though, so bully!
