I am a paid subscriber but I am not happy with this at all. The mobile phone app is a pretty buggy, when I start typing in 1 place the cursor jumps to another. Copy/paste has also given me problems.
I do like that it encrypts locally on disk like it does in the cloud. Several other apps I've looked at has said at rest encryption isn't worth it, I guess arguing that users could use veracrypt or some other solution.
If I had to write a one sentence summary of Standard Notes it would be "An E2E encryption app first, a note taking app third".

- 0goel0 4y agoExactly this. I use SN but I'm always looking for an alternative. The mobile apps are very buggy and while the team tries to resolve issues, basic things should not be breaking occasionally. I want a notes app to just work.

- arcanemachiner 4y agoIt's a web app wrapped in React Native. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34197613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34197613
- nonbirithm 4y agoIn total agreement with this, the mobile app is another buggy victim of React Native. Plus I've had data loss on sync at least once, which has shattered my faith that their sync backend is reliable. It might have happened many more times and I'd have no way of knowing. I'm only subscribed at this point because I got an 80% discount a couple years ago. Do not use them if you value your data.
- bowsamic 4y agoEven their marketing seems to give this impression. They seem more focussed on the fact that it is encrypted than the actual product itself.
