User Reviews

Simplenote is praised for its clean, simple interface and reliable syncing across devices, with conflict resolution that preserves copies and a lightweight, ad-free experience. However, users repeatedly report login/authentication problems, registration friction, and concerns over privacy policy and data handling. Several reviews also cite missing features like image support and occasional data-loss reliability worries.

Simple, distraction-free interface that's lightweight and ad-free
Effective conflict handling that saves multiple copies to prevent data loss

Longstanding reliability and fast note-taking

Cons

Frequent authentication and login issues across platforms (password errors, cannot reach server, login flows malfunctioning)
Registration/verification friction (email confirmation emails not received, manual login problems)
Privacy policy concerns about data collection and handling by the provider
Missing essential feature: inability to attach or insert images in notes
Occasional data-loss concerns and reliability worries

Don’t waste your time, literally. The syncing is unreliable and when it fails(which it will), it fails in the worst way, so you’re going to have to try to rewrite things you have already written once. I’m done with this garbage app.

I use both Linux and iOS versions of this program. Not having a simple Undo/Redo feature easily accessible like it is on the Linux Version is unacceptable to me. A one second error is a time machine fix on iOS instead of a quick Undo. That needs to be addressed. Undo/Redo buttons should be visible during all edits.
