The service is great but app a little buggy (Samsung flip 5). As of Sept 14 2023, I got a message from Samsung device care "simplenote is crashing frequently. Put it in deep sleep to keep your phone running smoothly". Also today I made some changes to an existing note using the PC app, and those changes didn't show up when I opened simplenote on my Samsung phone, so I'm not sure what happened to the changes. I just want a SIMPLE note taking app that syncs across all devices reliably. That's it

Edit: issues have been worked out and app is working flawlessly again. Thank you! [[ Old review ]]: Was working fine for years. Stop syncing for me yesterday. I logged out of the app and couldn't log back in on Android (was able to successfully login on web). Changed password and still unable to login on phone app. Please fix! One of my favorite apps.

Thanks for reporting this. We're noticing some issues with Android on our end as well, and have notified our developers so they can check what's going on.

Easy to use, simple app, that syncs rapidly with my Chromebook. I like that it has a search feature, but the search feature finds partial words even if you put a space in it. So if I want to find the word "sub ", even if I put the space at the end it will turn up every word that has S-U-B in it like "substitute" and "subscription".

Simplenote servers had issues but are now stable, with ongoing monitoring to prevent reoccurrence. This also caused the duplicate characters issue. Follow updates at: https://forums.simplenote.com/forums/topic/simplenote-servers-performance-issues-august-2023/. We recommend exporting your notes as a backup: https://simplenote.com/help/#export.
