Stopped Functioning on iPad
Apparently the app development is sliding somewhat. The iPad app no longer syncs with the cloud repo. So I’m concerned that Simplenote may be in a state of decline. Time to export and look at alternatives.
Was best, now no developer
There’s currently a login and password reset issue, and there’s no one manning the company to help.
Sync Issue
Today I experienced the app had trouble to synchronize with its server so that my notes were no longer updated. After clicking on the History button, a spinning icon appeared on the screen.
Basically abandoned on iOS!
The Android version still gets updates, including being able to choose your display font.
The iOS version hasn't received any real update in years, and it stopped working completely on 2026-10-19.

Amazing
So far so good all except for no current lock screen widget available, otherwise, worth it over iOS notes.
Needs improvements to Siri Shortcuts
I really thank you for adding a couple of Siri Shortcuts, there are a few that you can improve.
First, in "Create new note with [content]", it's missing a option for which TAG you want to create a note in. Please add that.
Next, there should be a "Get Note" action. Yes, there is a "Open Note" action, but doing that, opens the app instead of passing to the next action.
And finally, add a "Create Tag" shortcut that creates a tag for you.
Please add these features.

Feature Request?
Could we get a bold and italicize feature for the phone app? That’ll be really awesome
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?
Крутое
Много лет пользуюсь, удобнее эпловских по простоте использования
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.

The best
I have been using this app for years and it is absolutely my favorite note taking app. The voiceover accessibility can't be any better. The ability to Sync across devices is huge and the interface is so simple and clean. I will never stop telling people about this app when they look for a note taking alternative. Thank you for this! It's incredible

Colocar um botão de “desfazer”.
Poderiam colocar uma opção para “desfazer” algo que foi apagado. A função que existe é muito “complicada” e não funciona direito.
As vezes acontece de eu apagar parte de uma anotação, mas não sei como desfazer, porque a função funciona quando quer.

Response from developer
Obrigado pelo feedback! Para recuperar conteúdo apagado, você pode usar o recurso de Histórico - toque no ícone de relógio na nota para ver e restaurar versões anteriores. Esperamos que isso ajude! Mais detalhes: https://simplenote.com/help/#history
Unable to delete account
Process to delete account fails, no response from support. Stay away from this one! Received developer response , followed precisely, still cannot delete account - hopeless app and hopeless support!
Grrr
Doesnt lers me create accohnt
Account delete
I cannot delete my account, I cannot contact any of developers. Trash
Can’t even create an account!
I just signed up and after I create a password it does nothing. I can’t even use the app.
Add lock please
Great app but would you please add the ability to lock notes like Apple does? I’d use a (reasonably priced) paid version to have this feature.
