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.

I just signed up and after I create a password it does nothing. I can’t even use the app.

Great app but would you please add the ability to lock notes like Apple does? I’d use a (reasonably priced) paid version to have this feature.

that was a real scare. years of notes that are important to me are kept here, and now i don't know if i can trust this app. i don't know why that happened, but i hope you can fix whatever issue caused all my notes to appear deleted. if this happens to anyone else, try to log out and then back in. that was an awful feeling edit from like 10 minutes later: every time i close the app, my notes disappear again and i have to log back in to be able to open even one. i think i will look for an alternative to this app, because that's ridiculous
