User Reviews

Glance Note is praised for being fast, lightweight, and simple with good markdown support and tagging features. However, many users report critical issues with syncing reliability, especially after updates, leading to data loss. The interface could be more user-friendly, with easier editing and better search access. Users also request an ad-free paid version. Overall, it is considered a good Simplenote client but needs improvements in sync stability and UI usability.

Pros

Fast and lightweight app for quickly inputting notes.
Good markdown support and ability to sort and assign tags.
Simple and works well for saving ideas and finding them easily.
Allows viewing notes without entering edit mode and explicit refresh.
Suitable Simplenote client with better performance than other alternatives.

Cons

Sync function issues, especially after update, causing data loss and broken syncing.
User interface needs improvement, including search bar placement and easier editing mechanisms.
Lack of automatic syncing and requirement to manually save and sync notes.
Presence of ads with requests for a paid version to remove them.
Occasional issues with note duplication in tags and installation problems on some devices.

Recent reviews

fastest app for inputting a new note : GlanceNote has a dedicated shortcut (minor quibble is that in that same note, "cancel" should be on the left and "sync" on the right, following general layouts...). Also it keeps search filtering activated between restarts, very practical.
