I used to lose a few edits early on, but Simplnote has become a lot more reliable since I started using it in 2020. Now in 2024 I probably have a thousand or more notes in it. I use this for everything. It's not a perfect app; but whatever problems it has are compatible to 'the best' note apps; and these problems are often due to changes and limitations that Google imposes.

The app is great for its intended use, unfortunately I worry if it is compromised or broken somehow. Without me opening the app or having the app open in any way that I can discern, I often get notifications that the app is draining the battery heavily in the background. I filed a support ticket a while ago but received no follow up response. The issue still happens on a somewhat regular basis and makes me want to look for alternatives for my note taking needs.

Hi! We definitely want to look into that issue. By chance, by filing a "support ticket," did you email us directly? If so, you should've received an automatic response with more information on our next steps. Otherwise, please reach out to us through our support forums: https://forums.simplenote.com/

This app is very quick and easy to use. I have a suggestion though. I would like the ability to put notes of a given year into a stash that wouldn't load unless I opened it. This would save processing time when searching for recent notes. You could always have the option to search all notes.
