Simplenote 4+

I'd been looking for a truly cross-platform note taking app for some time, that could handle markdown format. All my desktop and laptop machines are on Linux, so finding a way of keeping in sync with my iPad & iPhone has been a challenge (to say the least). With Simplenote, not only are my notes fully synced, but can be formatted beautifully and functionally, thanks to markdown. I'm very impressed, and the fact that it's free is even more remarkable.
If I could wish for anything, it would be a way of organizing the notes into sub-folders, and perhaps embracing some of the expanded markdown syntax (strike through, tables and such).
Highly recommended!

I've been using Simplenote from the beginning and what distinguished this app from other like it is its simplicity of logging in and sharing with other devices.

I realise that Apple has separate logins using iCloud for security reasons but this creates a problem if your devices include ones shared by family members etc.

I use Simplenote whenever I need to share texts with other devices quickyly without having to mess around with airdrop that doesn’t always work. Also use it as a way of remembering things for short term memory stuff from the iMac to the iPhone and then to the iPad without having to worry about which iCloud was the author for the note.

It’s amazing that all these years Simplenote has remained free. I would happily pay for it considering how useful it’s been all these years.

For now, I am grateful for the developers of Simplenote for this great app.

this app is incredible in the way that you can use it quickly and easily across many platforms (I use it on my ipad, my phone and my laptop). it’s not the same on my phone in that checklists don’t form properly but it’s good for quick note taking on there and i can edit the notes elsewhere. it does exactly as it says it does and is completely (actual) free, there’s no purchases and no subscriptions either. this app is actually a blessing, i’m tipping my hat to it’s developers
