★★★✩✩ (iTMS)

Simplenote accomplishes what it sets out to do: notes on your iPhone in a simple style. It works exactly like it should with only two buttons, one trash your note and one to save it. Simplenote also has a search function in case your notes queue is overflowing with reminders.

The app takes five to 10 minutes to get aquainted with. Tapping on the screen in certain places doesn’t do what you would expect such as when creating a new note, tapping a blank area below your list of notes that have already been made does not allow you to start something new. Instead, you type your title into the search bar and press ‘return.’ The result is a new note with a big, fresh page for typing.

Simplenote only gets three stars because of small design flaws such as I stated above and the lack of picture or audio notes. Though Simplenote executes well, there are other, less expensive apps that do more and are more worthy of your iPhone’s storage capacity. ~~Zack Shapiro
