Becoming unusable on Android phone, jumping to bottom of note. BUG
-
That does sound frustrating. I’ve had similar issues with apps where bugs seem to linger despite feedback. It’s disappointing when something that worked well suddenly starts causing headaches, especially on devices where you rely on it the most. From my experience, developers usually address these bugs over time, but it can take a while depending on how complex the issue is.

If Simplenote isn’t fixing it soon and it’s affecting your productivity, exploring other note-taking apps might be a good idea. It’s worth trying out different options to see what works best for you—maybe something with smoother performance on Android.

[Cr]appy anniversary! One year ago tomorrow, the OP posted this bug, and was told by staff that “I can confirm that the issue is logged with our developers. If more users also report it to us, it will increase its chances of being addressed sooner.” So how many more reports will it take?
Could anyone suggest a good substitute for this useful but fatally flawed app which is no longer being supported for Samsung users?

I can confirm that this is still a problem on Samsung phones as I got a new phone recently and the problem was happening again. I forgot that I had done the fix I mentioned in the post previously on my old phone.
The fix below is for Samsung phones only and disables the suggest text corrections feature in the Samsung keyboard for the Simplenote app only. Unless you are heavily reliant on this feature when you type notes, it is barely a minor inconvenience to do this to be able to keep using the app which is otherwise great.
Go into your settings app, navigate to the Samsung keyboard settings. Tap on “suggest text corrections”. Tap “manage apps”. Find Simplenote and make it unchecked. This will only disable the feature for Simplenote and it will still work in other apps.

THANK YOU @nikomaru14 so very much. I don’t even use this app but I have the same exact problem with long notes fields in Google calendar and this has been driving me BONKERS for a while. I used the fix you suggested, disabled only for Gcal, and voilà! No more scrolling to the bottom!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
