Simplenote used to be go to app for almost 10 years. Loved it, used it every day. Unfortunately in the last several weeks it stopped working on my Android. It freezes, it doesn't open the notes, doesn't let me edit; restarting and reinstalling didn't resolve the issue. Unfortunately I will have to look for another app. (Samsung Galaxy S22, One Ui 6, Android 14)

Had syncing issues, which they fixed, but now when I try to take notes, every minute or so the screen jumps and I lose my place and have to scroll to find the cursor. However I also notice my phone (galaxy flip 5) is doing the same thing as I write this review. It doesn't do it if I use Google keep, so I'll have to switch to that. Too bad, I've been using it for years, it is exactly what the name says. I hope they can fix it eventually.

I used to love Simplenote!! But in the last week, the mobile app has started freaking out on me and copying the last couple lines I typed (or whole chunk if I copied and pasted) endlessly, ad nauseam, for no reason!! It would go on forever if I didn't immediately go to my laptop and delete the endless repetitions. I'm now considering dropping it and looking for a notes app that has all the features of Simplenote but doesn't randomly freak out on me. UPDATE: Problem was from a dying motherboard.

Can you try logging in to the Simplenote web app to check your notes from there and see if they are all correct and up to date? If they are, you can log out and back in to the app on your devices. That should resolve any syncing issues going forward. If that doesn't do the trick, though, you can reach out to us here: https://forums.simplenote.com/
