Good but not great

I wanted to use this for taking notes at school but I have multiple subjects and this app can onluy handle one. Actually I can put many notes in it but the only way to organize them is though tags and it would just be too hard to navigate them. Would be perfect if it would save as individual files or allow to make more than one notebook.

Update:
I am using this for a address book in place of the Mac addressbook. Works good. When I am done if I get a torjan or something it won’t affect people in my address book becuase the Trojan won’t know to look in a note file. Works goood for this plus with the tagging makes it super easy to find them. Though I haven’t tried it yet I think I can tap a phone number on my iPhone and it will call it.

Never failing simple note

People typically need just two (maybe three) note taking apps. They need one for more complex notes… with lots of format options, maybe even adding attachments, images, etc. For that you have things like OneNote or Evernote. [ I use these tools for taking notes about work projects ]

Then you need a “simple note taking” app for keeping more basic notes, where you don’t need tons of formatting options, or anything complex. You want these notes on all your devices, regarless of OS. Here is where Simplenote shines. [ As a developer, I use simplenote for things like “common linux commands” “git notes”, etc. For personal stuff, I keep things like notes on names of new people I meet at chuch, car maintenance (when oil was changed, tires rotated, etc.) - stuff I want around for a while. ]

The third one, is possibly a ‘quick note’ taking app for shorter things you want to remember but possibly won’t need for a long time ( eg lot me jot down a quick packing list, some upcoming birthday gift ideas, your new locker combination, etc.) [ Simplenote works peferct for this as well, it’s just I like to have different main apps based on complexity. I use google keep for the ‘quick throw-out notes’ and simplenote for the longer, yet not overly complex, notes. ]

Best Customer Support EVER

First of all, this is an excellent app anyway.. But its the customer service that makes it really 5 star. If I could give it 10 stars I would. I had accidently put a paragraph at the bottom of a note where the tags are supposed to go so I had all these tags that were made up of words from that sentence and couldn't figure out how to delete the ones that had a period after the word or had a dash in the middle. Customer service DID NOT GIVE UP. They wrote back with a video of how they were able to do it but I still couldn't do it on Mac Catalina, or using Chrome, but the fourth time they sent a solution it worked. Usually when I write a FREE app about a problem I don't even get a reply, but Simple Note was immediately engaged in solving my problem and continued to work on it for me until it was solved. HIGHLY RECOMMENED
