Slow in lockdown mode
Takes a looong time to load on start. More than 10 seconds on wifi. Turning off lockdown mode helped, but that's a security risk.
pretty good
I’ve been using this for years and there are definitely positives. But… I wish so much for keyboard shortcuts to move between notes and lists and tags. (I’m on OSX and iPhone using either the standalone app or web app in Safari, depending on which one is working at the moment).
Positives: semi-securely syncs across devices, ability to tag and organize, robust default note types, but support for independent modules, searchable notes (but not available _inside_ some independent note types. I’m looking at you Markdown Alternative)
Issues: security (some temporary files can be found in ~/Library/Containers/com.standardnotes.standardnotes/Data are plain text notes!), feature bloat (the unfortunate cost of success), non-adjustable tiny font size (specifically OSX standalone), and inability to export a proper markdown file from their officially supported note type.
Overall still worthwhile, but cleaner apps are starting to flood the stage… which is frustrating since I just want to keep using StandardNotes.

Buggy
Paid for 5 years, app is buggy on iOS. Unable to use “Super Note” from phone as curser gets stuck first position it is placed (web is ok for this). Only plain text notes can be used Reported bug over 2 months ago, support responded but no updates since then and no follow ups.
No undo?!?!?
It’s absolutely bonkers that this app doesn’t have an undo button. I just accidentally deleted a bunch of text from a note, and there’s no way to undo that. I’ll be switching to an app with that basic feature!
Can you share and co-edit in it?
I don’t know if you can. I wish it had it. And if it has it, I wish the user interface was more intuitive to where I could find it easily.
