For better visual accessibility, this app needs to provide an option to preview Markdown with a sans-serif font (instead of the default serif one). Many people, including those with visual impairments, find sans-serif fonts easier on the eye and more comfortable to read (than serif fonts). Please add in some appearance customisation options like this for the Markdown preview please (especially for accessibility reasons).

Almost Perfect! Had to abandon WhatsApp back in the day when the hobbled the free version and had to migrate to MS One note, which is an ungodly mess regardless of platform! Simple note does exactly what I want and I am much happier again! Would love to see improved import functionality (import from one note, import from login instead of from files) and the ability to add passwords or extra security to specific notes. Many thanks!

Brilliant app, use it to store tagged articles and notes. One major letdown at present is that it doesn't accurately remember where you were if you were halfway through reading a long article, and then come out. I thought it had started doing this. Now you go back into a half read article and it seems to jump to a random-ish and incorrect position in the article. I'd love to just be able to pick up where I left off reliably.

Thank you for your suggestion! I've added it to our list of feature requests. Features are considered by our developers for every release based on the number of requests we receive for that feature. If you'd like to suggest other features or an improvement to the app, please write in to us at support@simplenote.com.

What’s new

All styles, including the pure-black AMOLED style, are now available to everyone. You can now search your collaborators, and typing in very large notes is faster. We also updated the app for Android 16 with support for the predictive back gesture, and fixed autocorrect on Samsung devices and issues with the History and Share sheets.
