tried countless note apps, this one is almost perfect for my needs. Minimal functionality, clean interface, good synchronization between phone and computer. But a big minus is not being able to create folders, not being able to lock certain notes behind a code and most of all, when many points on a checklist are marked, you can't (automatically) remove the marked lines. So you have to select each line manually to delete all the old texts. Truly hope these will be added soon. I would pay for it.

Edit: Yes, I turned off spellcheck on my Samsung keyboard and that worked, THANKS No longer a problem. I see in forums. simplenote this is a general problem with linger notes. Mostly great. BUT Why does each note jump to the end without any action from me? Then I have to find my place again. Seeking where I was, I accidentally deleted whole entries.

Hi, Tina! Are you perhaps using the Samsung keyboard? If yes, please try turning off Predictive text or “Suggest text corrections” in the Samsung Keyboard settings. For further troubleshooting, please reach out: https://forums.simplenote.com/

simplenote apps and servers aren't perfect, but they are the gold standard of cross device cross platform information exchange. I have it on ios android Mac and windows. the windows app forgets to sync so I run the app out of a browser. this is a labor of cross platform information access love, a jouney no other platform would consider taking. no one else would do this for free or for money without clutter..it has problems. and yet it is the only true solution for all browser and device sync.
