Comments on Simplenote for Android

★★★★★ Rounak Aung Aung · Feb 20, 2026

Just as the name suggests, a very simple, straightforward, easy to use cross-platform note-taking app with cloud sync. Perfect for sharing simple plain text notes across various devices.

★★★★★ Nour A.B · Jun 3, 2026

Great app with a clean, distraction-free experience, but performance can become slow when managing large note collections. Improving speed and responsiveness for heavy users would make a big difference. It would also be helpful to add color-coded notes or tags, pinned notes, quick filters, and custom sorting options. Productivity could be further enhanced with bulk actions and a simple archive/trash system while preserving the simplicity that makes Simple note so appealing.

★☆☆☆☆ Evelina · Mar 18, 2026

I use search query "simple note" for searching the simplest only for typing very simple text (aka note) not for logging in or other unused staff!

★☆☆☆☆ Cosmin Smeu · Apr 15, 2026

The app can NOT be used at all unless the user log ins or signs up for some account somewhere! Awful user experience not to let users take notes and experience the app first hand without having to log in or sign up for something that isn't even explained at all why it's needed or why it's required!

★☆☆☆☆ Jannie Gerber · Feb 6, 2026

Created account with desktop app. Phone app refused to log in. Even tried resetting password. Uninstalled and will not use it!
