  when using markdown on android, we have cute checklists on the edit mode, but “- [⨯]” in the preview mode (which can’t be checked)

  android 14, simplenote 2.33 (latest version as fas as I can tell)

  steps: create a note, add a checklist, create some items, activate markdown and preview.

  That is as intended. The preview mode is not meant to be interactive, which is why you’re not able to check off checklist items in preview mode.

  I understand why you’d like the view of checklists to be a bit different on Preview. I agree they aren’t as cute in Preview as in Edit. I’ve shared your feedback with our team for further consideration.

  this is actually the opposite of what is expected in Markdown, where “- [ ]” and “- [x]” should be replaced by a box.

  Furthermore, this is very likely linked to the ongoing checklist copy/paste issue (where the checkboxes, checked or not, are replaced by spaces)
