Like seemingly every note app I've tried so far, it requires an account for reasons I don't understand. Why can't I just open the app and start taking notes? Worse still, I can't even make an account to log in with; I just get caught in a loop of the app claiming it's sent login emails only to not receive any on the specified time. Uninstalled it and will continue looking for one that just works, I guess.

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.
