It's a nice, straight forward note app. I like that it supports dark mode. However: Why does the app decide when the automatic dark mode should start and stop? Please let Android 9.0 devices follow the system theme. Every Samsung device on Pie also supports this setting. Edit: I'm disappointed by the reply. This setting works on many other third party apps. You could also let users set the times. It's a good app, but I don't think my device (S8) is so outdated that it shouldn't be supported.

Automatically changing theme based on sunrise and sunset of your location was deprecated by Google. Now, hard-coded values (i.e. 6:00am and 10:00pm) are used by the API. "System default" is supported on Android 10 and higher as stated in the official Android documentation. We will continue to follow those guidelines with Simplenote.

It's a very good simple note taking app. If only the sync issues weren't there. Of all the cross platform syncing apps I use daily (onenote, dynalist, evernote, etc.) this is the only one which doesn't sync properly. And in the app there is no way to prompt a sync. Not even closing and re-opening on all devices helps. It has been that way for ages. I would be willing to pay for this app with a decent sync experience. I wonder when this will be fixed.

We confirmed sync is working. A note with 516,000 characters synced in 0.47 seconds. Syncing speed depends on your network connection. If you're having sync issues, email us at support@simplenote.com for help.

I really tried to give simplenote a chance but at the end I gave up. Synchronization is not implemented properly. I used it on 3 devices and roughly 50% of the times I opened simplenote my notes have been overwritten by an older version, which makes it unusable for multi-device usage.
