SimpleNote is the champion app if you want cross-platform access to your notes without the bloat of Evernote.

After all theses years I love this simple but very powerful software. Yet I have not much experience with the latest Notes app on OS X and iOS. This could be a dangerous contender if you want mote bells and whistles ...

How does SimpleNote improve on the Notepad app coming with OS X and IOS? They're both simple and free. Can I add content in SN I can't with the Notepad app?

Is it just the fact that SN is available on Windows and Android that is the main attraction?

Simple and neat. Sometimes, it must be shut down and reopened, as text vanishes after a longer sleep. Work perfectly on my mac and my 2 Android devices, sync is almost simultaneous. Good work.

I'm curious: People are talking favorably about Just Note in comparison to SimpleNote and for syncing. What are the advantages of one over the other?

I use and love Simplenote on iOS, and would like very much to use it on OS X, but the lack of sorting options in the Mac version rules it out for me. This is a shame, as I continue to have sync problems with Justnotes, which is my (otherwise excellent) current Mac alternative. I don't understand why Simplenote's developers allow me to sort alphabetically by title on the web app, on my iPhone and on my iPad, but not on my Mac. Very frustrating.

I like it but I'd love to see a Safari clipping extension to quickly add content from the web. Other than that it's great!

Simplenote is a great service and I depend on it throughout the day for numerous to-do lists and other data that I want to have synced throughout my computing ecosystem. However, I don't use this app (and I'd really like to) because it absurdly does not allow you to change the font size. At all. Unbelievable! I currently use Justnotes for my Simplenote syncing, which works well enough but frustratingly drops the connection often, requiring resetting the account about once a day.

The app looks great, but simple note is great for quick and easy notes and it should stay in menubar to be accest instantly form anyware. please! make menubar icon and option to switch off dock mode. i used old justNotes app that sitted in menu bar for ages with simplenote account, and as its a little ugly and not well organised its much quicker to use than dock/quitting app
