Ratings and reviews

been using it for months, no issues. does what you'd expect a notes app to do. updated to Android 16 and now the app is completely unusable. the widget won't load and when I try to open the app it closes immediately. I cleared the app cache and uninstalled/reinstalled and still nothing. I've lost some pretty important and valuable information if this does not get fixed quickly.

I think it might be a great nondistracting cross platform way to write articles and it has nice free features like publish to Wordpress, but there are weird omissions of normal note app functionality. You can't hit share and simply choose an email or sms recipient and have the text appear in the message field. And there is no "find in page" tool -- you can only search all the notes you ever wrote. It isn't basic enough to be your only notes app.

It never synced all notes. I had 500 notes and deleted all that began with "A" and not all of them deleted when synced. Even with re-logging it more than once. I repeated this with "B," and each letter to "G" as an easy way to see if it did a good job of syncing. It does not. Notes were unsynced for each letter EVERY TIME! Too bad I loved it's design otherwise. Might be good for 1 or 2 notes if that's all you need it for.

What's new

Enjoy a sleeker Simplenote with improved dark mode and full edge-to-edge support on Android 15, making your notes look better than ever.
Plus, we’ve made behind-the-scenes enhancements to keep everything running fast, smooth, and reliable.
