Great, great. But needs one more thing...
This should serve as a survey of users as well as a review of an excellent app. Can’t give it 5 stars for one simple reason: search on the Mac doesn’t work anywhere near as well as on an IOS device. This is why:
On IOS, user enters a a search term and is presented with a listing of the text entries that include the search term. By clicking on a text entry, this marvelous app takes the user to the first instance of the search term and highlights it. Beautiful! Subsequent returns scroll to any additional finds in that entry. This is the way search of many entries should work.
But on the Mac version, no such experience exists. Enter a search term and the user is presented with a list of entries, same as on IOS. But that’s it: click on and entry and user is left to scroll through it - looking for the search match. Sad, inadequate, and impossible, in long entries.
Being a long-time user of SimpleNote, I’ve brought this to the developers on two occasions. I’m not sure why they find this so difficult, or why they don’t feel this is important. You decide. As a result of this parity omission, I simply don’t do searches on my Mac. I’m curious though - make your own review, and if you feel this omission is worth a look, include it in your review. Maybe the developer with pony up with a fix.
