Simplenote has its own syncing system, which I’ll call native syncing, that backs your note up to Amazon’s S3 cloud storage service.
Dropbox syncing is the primary reason I switched from Simplenote to Elements. This is an area where the differences between the apps can be huge. As with Elements, this is the price for the app with all its features. An in-app purchase option will remove the ads for $4.99. The ads vanish when the keyboard appears for editing. PlainText is free, but has ads that remain at the bottom of the screen in both List view and Note view. Buy Elements and you get all the features. We’ll discuss that in the Syncing section.
It seems to me that the most important of the Premium features is the Dropbox syncing, but there is, famously, a way to get Dropbox syncing via the API without a Premium account. I had a Premium subscription last year- I won it in a contest-but that was before some of these features were available, so I can’t speak authoritatively on their value. Allows notes to be edited in List view.Simplenote has an API associated with its native syncing system, and calls to the API are throttled unless you have a Premium subscription. This applies to Simplenote’s own syncing system, not the Dropbox sync. Increases the number of backups of each note from 10 to 30.I’ll discuss this more in the Syncing section below. Simplenote’s ads appear at the top of the notes list and can be scrolled off screen, which isn’t all that obtrusive, but a Premium subscription removes them entirely. A Premium subscription does several things:
Force simplenote to sync upgrade#
Simplenote is free, but there’s an in-app Premium upgrade option that costs $20 per year. None of these apps are particularly expensive, but in-app purchases can make the cost different from what you see in the App Store. I just wrote a similar post looking at the features of Notesy, which has taken over from Elements as my main note-taker.
