Recent App update for Android tablets

The recent update has removed the notepad/scratch pad function. We use it every time because it was incredibly helpful. Why has it been removed? It has sent my daughter into a bit of a meltdown because now she's finding the app difficult to get on with. When apps are updated & improved, there needs to consideration for autistic children who find change difficult. If we could have the notepad feature back, that would be incredibly helpful. Thank you.
