I'm happy with it... Better than anything else I'm never tryed. I would like to see a way to recover noteswhen ones phone 'dies' (never coming back on again). I lost all my notes this last time. No way that I know of to recover. Still the best app I've found so far. Couldn't find it on my new phone/couldn't recognize.

New user, but so far I love it. Simple but elegant design (very important for me that it looks good.). Very easy to use and back up. Can create categories to store notes under group headings, and so leave the main interface uncluttered. I'm a new user, but so far - it's great.

I wrote down a very important note just for it to be lost in five seconds of finishing. 30 minutes of nothing. Can't believe you have back up use and there's no back up for it. What's the point of save in backup if it's not going to save in the first place. Pathetic.

Quite intuitive and well done, sadly it has ony note feature, would be really really glad to see some checlist, drawing, add images and record voice, and backup encryption. While locking the app access with password of biometrics.

Great app I'm very convenient and easy to use. The only thing I would like sometimes I delete something by mistake and I go to my trash to get it back and I have to scroll through 800 trash items to restore it. I wish the trash items were reverse to where the most recently trashed items were at the top of the list.

Simple, straight forward. And it regularly proposes to backup data, which is great compared to other apps I've used that couldn't backup and I lost all my notes.

Suddendly, doesn't start anymore on one of my devices. Just shows 'Unfortunately, Simple Notes has stoppes'. Forced stop, even restarted phone, nothing helped. By the way: That also means that the notes cannot be read anymore.

It's the second best notes taking and organising app ever. I am a student and an author and I suggest this app. Its U.I is awesome and simple to use. I'm not paid to write here. I am writing this from my own 1 year experience! Best app for everyone. I think there should be an update in U.I. It would be better if the Folders are at the top rather than at the left. It's my opinion.

Exactly what it's described as. A simple place to jot down little reminders, shopping lists, or notes. Easy to use. EDIT: Changing my rating from 5 stars to 2. For a while now, I've had to deal with ads playing when I back out of a list. Sometimes I need to jot something down in another list and it plays an ad that I have to wait to skip. It's SUPER annoying. I understand it's a free app and ads help generate revenue for it, but I really wish the ads didn't interfere with my use of the app.

I have used (and loved) this app for a long time... until the last few months. Every time I go to edit my shopping list, it flies to the bottom of my list! Not just my list but any note I want to edit! Sometimes, I'm not even done with typing on the line when it does this! Then I have to go back to see where I was. FRUSTRATING enough to make me look for a different app! 😡
