There’s no denying that Evernote is a mighty powerful beast, all those features can prove a bit overwhelming at times and we’ve missed the sheer simplicity of Simplenote. So, like many others, we abandoned SimpleNote and found other list/note taking apps, namely the all powerful Evernote and the superslick Google Keep.Īlthough we think it’s unlikely that this new app will replace Google Keep – a free program which has developed into a quite exceptional note taking app – we may find ourselves coming back to Simplenote for longer notes. There were a few alternative Simplenote-syncing apps available on Android, but these either looked like something out of 2006, came burdened with unremoveable adverts or insisted on using eye-searing white text on a black background. Notes written on the desktop client instantly synced with the FlickNotes app, and content could be accessed via any browser on the Simplenote site.īut then the wheels fell firmly off the Simplenote wagon with the service being plagued by all sorts of troubling syncing issues, while the developer of FlickNote seemed to have left the building for good. When it worked, it worked supremely well. The problem was that Simplenote never troubled themselves to make an Android or Windows app, so accessing the cloud-based notes involved using third party Android apps like Flick Note and a desktop client called ResophNotes. The no-frills app let users swiftly write down notes, compile lists and jot down ideas, with growing collections of notes organised with tags and pins. We used to gush profusely at the mere mention of the simple-but-powerful Simplenote cross-platform note-taking service, and back in 2011 declared it to be our favourite.
