Last time I reviewed Simplenote by Codality I could only give it three stars as the interface tended to fight the user but now I’m happy to re-review Simplenote after the lastest update.

★★★★✩ (iTMS)

The latest update to Simplenote has brought some very valuable changes! The interface is more user friendly with added “New Note” and “Trash” buttons. No longer are notes initiated in odd ways through the search bar. Each note that has been created can now be easily deleted or emailed through icons on the bottom of the application. Added too are dates when the note was created or last edited.

Simplenote now features a sync option that allows users to see their notes online through an easy to create account system that anyone can setup right on their iPhone.

The app makes sense now and is a wonder to use. I find myself going to it more and more after the latest update because Simplenote now does notes right and efficiently.

Though the program still lacks, and will probably not add, audio and picture notes, Simplenote is an incredible quick note taking program for the iPhone. At $2.99, if you’re sick of the stock Notes application, pick this application up. It will be a worthy and welcomed addition to anyone’s productivity arsenal. ~~Zack Shapiro
