JustNotes appears great, but is actually useless, since it insists on resurrecting deleted notes - even if they're deleted from Simplenote on the Simplenote website. The only way to get rid of them is to use special software to uninstall the app thoroughly. Pity.

This app is deliberately more simple than similar products out there, such as Nottingham for example. I've used this for quite a while now not just because it syncs with Simplenote/iphone/android immediately (as it should), but because I think its the only app of its kind that lets me access my notes from just the Menubar, not taking up Dock space. I'm always going to stick with it whilst that's the case, it just makes it more convenient than the rest IMO.

Great App that looks like an updated version of "Sidenote" & all credit to the author for creating this, but unfortunately I feel it needs a couple of tweaks to make it truly great...

1) As "Aeschylus" said earlier "changing the sort order would be nicer if it were available in the main app". I agree !
2) For some reason when trying to record a Global Hotkey Shortcut, it refuses to recognise 3 key combinations. In "Sidenote" I use CMD+CTRL+Z to activate it, I'd like to be able to do the same thing here...
3) It also lacks the ability to use inbuilt fonts & styles that are on your Mac, therefore you can't bold, italic, underline, etc... on the notes your create. For text formating JustNotes uses the MarkDown syntax system, whatever that maybe, but frankly it's not practical for a normal persons day-to-day use.
4) It would be good if the author also relied on MacUpdate or his own website for user comments about improving this app, as not everyone has or wishes to use Twitter (which seems to be the main place where he accepts any input).

For me if the author could make the above changes, it would be the perfect replacement to "Sidenote", but for the moment I'll just have to wait & see.

Another thing I have to add to my previous comments are, that when you create a new note the focus always switches to the very first note in the list, instead of the blank new note you just created. Any chance this could be fixed ?

Thanks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown helps. Quite easy, though I don't know if it's handy for you.

I like this app. It syncs with Simplenote on the iPhone, and it also syncs Tags (unlike Notational Velocity and nvALT.

A major request would be to offer a choice of sorting by either modification date or name (right now, it seems to sort by mod date only.

I haven't found any major bugs in the current version, but then, I've just started using it. This is something we really need, because it has been strange to find an iPhone app that was MORE functional than the equivalent Mac application.

Thanks for the nice work.

OOPS. I looked through the prefs again, and there is a pref to change the sort order. I still think that changing the sort order would be nicer if it were available in the main app, but this works. Great app!

To reiterate what was said below, the current version of JustNotes is 0.6.11. The MU admins should update this listing. Until they do, go to the developer's web site to download it. It fixes several issues that people might be having with older versions.

Bdikkat reviewed on 11 Nov 2010

I like this, and it's great to use with Simplenote, BUT - I find that, when I'm writing text in a note, it will inexplicably duplicate whole chunks of text and place them in other parts of the note. This can go unnoticed, resulting in garbled notes.

Unfortunately I'll have to second that. I love the way this is located in the menu bar without having to be in the Dock for quick note taking, but its not much use for me if it doesn't work properly with Simplenote. The app does give the option to advise the developer of bugs, but when you do that, nothing on the face of it seems to happen.

However - when I went to the devs website, I noticed that the current version, when downloaded is a version "0.6.1.1" which, for me, seems to rectify the simplenote issue.

This is a great app, but whilst its in these ongoing beta modes you're going to have to keep checking the devs website (not Macupdate) to make sure you have the latest version.

And to that I now have to add the fact that I cannot permanently delete notes - they just keep reappearing! I hope this gets sorted out because I love the design and functionality of this app (these bugs notwithstanding)...

Simple and uncomplicated in every way, shape and form. Now that's all I want in a "notes" application.

I like this app too but prefer Notatinal Velocity because it supports printing.

Personally, i would like to have labels and possibly tags added to my notes. Other than that i like it a lot.

nice but you should be able to manually or alphabetically sort the list, and the beta sticker covers the 'clear' button

There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
