  The notes keep on self deleting and it appears after it its reinstalled but after 4-5 seconds the note appears as new note, like all of a sudden the note gets deleted. all my hard work was gone just like that. please help !!! And when the note appears for like fraction of seconds the content which i added the last few months were missing and im very sure it got sinced . Plus when i get into the note and then immediately turn off the data network it stays but the content i added the last 3- 4 months are missing . And when i tun on the network data the entire note dissapears . I used to use this app for more than 3 yrs and havnt encountered such a problem and im pretty disappointed that this happened.

  Please help

  Hmm. Do you access this Simplenote account from any other device/computer, etc.?

  Are you doing anything special with the time settings on your android device? It sounds as if your device thinks the Simplenote data is more current than the data on your device.

  Hi @josephjayan32,

  What might be happening here is related to how Simplenote handles syncing between devices. The note history slider doesn’t always display records in chronological order because sync timing can affect how changes are stored. For example:

  • If you make a change on Device A while offline (say at 00:00), that edit won’t sync immediately.
  • Then, if you edit the same note on Device B at 00:30 while online, those changes sync successfully to our servers.
  • Later, when Device A reconnects, its unsynced version (from 00:00) uploads and overwrites the newer version from 00:30.

  This might be why your note suddenly reverted or deleted content, but it’s actually an earlier version overwriting the newer one.

  To check if your older content still exists, try searching the history in Simplenote. To search the history, open a note and click the ellipsis icon (︙) at the top, then select History. Then move the slider to view past revisions. You might find a version with your missing content there.
