Good products become lagging behind with times and then goto live as average or below average products at Automattic. Pocket Casts, Simplenote, DayOne. All of these had deteriorated before going to Automattic and then deteriorated some more. In case someone is looking for alternatives on Mac/iOS: Simplenote —> FS Notes (apple only; foss). You can use the app for free on Mac and can compile on iOS. But it's really good so I bought and there is NO SUBSCRIPTION (not yet at least :D). Very responsive, active, and prompt dev https://fsnot.es https://fsnot.es Pocket Casts —> Overcast (yes, with the latest “upgrade” royal screw ups), or even Apple Podcasts (I hate OEM apps but there are not really great ones out there) - overcast has an yearly subscription (though almost everything is free - even when I was paying I had the ad enabled as it was a good way to find some nice shows - right now I am not paying because dev has really effed up and I am waiting but still using along with Apple Podcasts). The dev is exact opposite of FS Notes dev :P (and is kinda famous I guess) http://overcast.fm http://overcast.fm DayOne —> I gave up looking for journal apps (last non-retarded one I had found was Dyrii but it shutdown). I had stopped using DayOne when it went subscription based. I just use the notes app and paper notebook now. https://www.google.com/search?q=stationery+stores+near+me https://www.google.com/search?q=stationery+stores+near+me :D
