5🌟 FIXED. Menu on PC, >< on Android. Search all 1st, then in note. The one thing that stops me over and over is the search function. ALL the notes can be searched. But I can not search inside a note. This app works on Android and PC. It would be great to use it all the time, but... Whenever I try it "one more time" I try to use the search function, then I say "Oh yeah, that's why I don't use it." Otherwise, it would be great! But trying to find a single word in a large note is not fun at all.

Edit: Yes, I turned off spellcheck on my Samsung keyboard and that worked, THANKS No longer a problem. I see in forums. simplenote this is a general problem with linger notes. Mostly great. BUT Why does each note jump to the end without any action from me? Then I have to find my place again. Seeking where I was, I accidentally deleted whole entries.

Hi, Tina! Are you perhaps using the Samsung keyboard? If yes, please try turning off Predictive text or “Suggest text corrections” in the Samsung Keyboard settings. For further troubleshooting, please reach out: https://forums.simplenote.com/

Giving up because of a 3 yr old glitch they won't fix. Every time you type in a note, if you hesitate for just 2-3 seconds, it jumps to the bottom of the note. A search for this problem has references and forum posts going back for 2 1/2 years and most recently as a month ago. Date today is 4/7/2025. They obviously have no intention of fixing this. Look for another app unless you like having your blood pressure raised and hairpulling for a hobby.
