Simplenote 4+

I was depressed once, and I kept some notes in the notes app that comes on the iPhone. I talked about how I was feeling, what I was thinking, as well specific events that happened. These notes were very valuable to me as they detailed my experience. I wanted to save them and be able to look back later in my life and review/ analyze what I had written during that difficult time. But one day, while trying to access my notes I discovered, to my horror, that the notes had disappeared! I still don’t know what happened and have found no way to retrieve them. They are lost. Valuable details and memories I can’t get back. I looked around for a new note app that would guarantee the safety of my precious notes. I found that app in Simplenote! My private notes are fingerprint and password protected. They are backed up and can be accessed from any of my devices! I love it! The app has a cool feature that saves not just the current note, but also the original version of the note and all versions following! I feel assured knowing my notes are safe with simplenote!

This is an amazing app that has almost all you need and so far I have no complaints but there can always be changes/improvements. I used to have a different notebook app that was a lot worse and now I decided to get a new one and this one has over 2x the options I could do on my other one, so I’m super happy with it but if you would add these features, I think It would make it even better. First, add the option to drag and drop notes. Of course you can change the way the notes are organized in the settings but it is still limited. You should also be able to click a button and be able to drag a note above or below another note to customize it to your full desire. And second, you should be able to change the font and color of the text. It’s great to have the first sentence of your note to be a bolder font but you should expand on that idea by being able to change the font or color of your wording to emphasize a specific part of your paragraph or note to change the meaning of it drastically.
With that being said though, overall it’s an amazing app and I love it wayy better than my other one so thank you for not only making this app but also not charging people for it! I wouldn’t mind getting an add every once in a while or maybe a small one at the bottom of your screen but I do appreciate not having to actually buy the app for how good it is. ❤️

I use an ipad 6 to use this application and it was going really good until I held down the command key to see what cool shortcuts were available. There were none. Suddenly all the speed and simplicity that the app did a wonderful job of integrating flew out of the window because I was left having to reach from keyboard to screen more often than I wanted to.

There were no obvious shortcuts for making a new note other than actually touching the screen. No obvious way off accessing my tags unless I touched the screen. This is wonderful when I am in full touchscreen ipad mode or iphone mode but when I have the keyboard out and connected to the ipad I want a little bit more fluidity when it comes to movement between windows. After all, Apple specializes in this.

So seeing that there are no obvious keyboard shortcuts really hurt. Every other app shows me a nice list of easy to see shortcuts when I hold the command button. Please add this feature. It will improve the app drastically. Literally made the app unusable for me because it is hard to go back to just touching the screen for every single task when you have a keyboard attached. Touching screen for a few things is nice but it gets to a point where my hands cant even rest on the keyboard anymore.
