Unreliable syncing, destroys data

Don’t waste your time, literally. The syncing is unreliable and when it fails(which it will), it fails in the worst way, so you’re going to have to try to rewrite things you have already written once. I’m done with this garbage app.

Could be a lot better

I use both Linux and iOS versions of this program. Not having a simple Undo/Redo feature easily accessible like it is on the Linux Version is unacceptable to me. A one second error is a time machine fix on iOS instead of a quick Undo.

That needs to be addressed. Undo/Redo buttons should be visible during all edits.

Can’t work and live without Simplenote

95% of my notes are in Simplenote. 99% of my shared notes are in Simplenote. I only resort to Apple Notes for heavily formatted notes, and encrypting special notes.

Pictures?

Any plans for the ability to add pictures?

Great app

Free, easy to use, you can use it on most devices, you can sync to as many devices as you want for free, you can use it offline (sync needs online though), you can organise your notes using tags and view notes with specific tags (so kind of like folders). No limit on number of notes or note size, app performs well, and you can even use markdown to add some formatting to your notes (including tick boxes!). As a simple note taking app, it does everything you need it to, for free! Couldn’t recommend more.
