Major performance update released

A few weeks ago, Simplenote 3.2 for iOS was released to the App Store. This was a huge update focused on performance and stability. If you've already updated, you should notice that your changes move between different versions of the app much more quickly now.

The latest version is also much better at handling lots of notes. As a growing number of users pass the 1000 note threshold, this new version will accommodate them easily.

If you're having any trouble with the update, please contact us at support@simplenoteapp.com and we'll work hard to help you.

Here's a complete list of changes: 

3.2.0: 

• improved overall performance and stability 
• improved startup speed 
• improved support for lots of notes 
• improved sync speed and reliability (iOS + web app) 
• added support for syncing emoji characters 
• show total number of notes next to All Notes in tag list 
• fixed problem where tag list numbers might not be accurate 
• tag editing can now be done from inside the main tag list 
• added support for linking to Simplenote from other apps 
• fixed crashes that could happen when notes update 
• fixed text occasionally being hidden behind iPad keyboard 
• fixed problem where ads could turn back on after renewing subscription 
• fixed some inconsistencies with sorting notes 
• increased size of Extra Large font option

3.2.1: 

• improved search performance when you have lots of notes 
• fixed problems with sharing via email address tags 
• fixed note publishing 
• fixed in-app premium upgrades 
• fixed problems with tags that have symbols 
• fixed problems with renaming tags 
• fixed ads sometimes turning back on for paid users 
• fixed empty tag creation when note is created from Instapaper 
• fixed some passcode lock problems on iPad

• fixed new inline tags not syncing

Performance, stability and reliability

We've been hard at work testing Simplenote 3.2, an update that is aimed at improving overall performance, stability and reliability. It has no new features. Instead, it's intended to solidify the features that are already there, and it should be ready fairly soon.

Thanks to the many people who have contacted us with their kind words, suggestions, and bug reports. We're excited to share this update with you.

Simplenote 3.2 was released a few weeks ago. More details coming soon.

Simplenote for iOS temporarily unavailable

We released a small update today that was causing problems for some people, so we pulled it before many people downloaded it. A new update has been submitted.

Alas, Simplenote for iOS won't be available for download in the meantime, but hopefully not for long.

If you were among the small number of people who downloaded the update before it was pulled, and you're experiencing a crash, please get in touch with us at support@simplenoteapp.com. Only premium users and those who have been using Simplenote since iOS version 3.x could be affected, and only if they happened to download the update during the hour or so that it was available.

A fix is making its way through the system and we should be back to normal fairly soon. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Update on Friday, November 11, 2011 at 07:16PM by Simplenote

Simplenote 3.1.10 is now available in the App Store.

Maintenance release for iOS 5

Simplenote 3.1.8 for iOS has just been approved and will be available in the App Store shortly. Changes include:

- fixed wrong tag sometimes being added to notes 
- fixed some iOS 5 incompatibilities 
- fixed crash when using settings 
- fixed sync sometimes not happening after first login

We're also continuing our work on a bigger update that greatly improves syncing and overall performance. It's currently being tested.

What we've been up to

For those who use the Simplenote web app, did you notice you can now delete your tags? Just click the trash can icon next to a tag in your tag list, and it'll be removed entirely.

A Simplenote iOS update also hit the App Store awhile back with a variety of fixes.

Most importantly, we've been hard at work on a big improvement to the way syncing works. This is a huge undertaking. Our goal is to make syncing even faster and more reliable since we believe it's Simplenote's core strength.

We look forward to sharing the changes with you when they're ready.
