In this light I can't help but seeing also the way the software description is written on their website as dodgy: don't try to buy me with promises of "eternal life" and strong coding ethic when in the actual experience it is so easy to lose all the information on a note. Overall I have the perception of a really (passive) aggressive business model in many ways and as far as I have the will to help the devs of Standard Notes as a paying user I couldn't help but feeling a bit manipulated in my decision to get a paid subscription in a quite unfair way a few times during my first hours of using the software.

The default color scheme of the app is a punch in the eyes and it feels like it has been done this way so you end up subscribing just to get rid of the offending red color (which is what I did at least).Ī better UI color scheme for the android app should be done or at least one extra theme should be available for the free app. While using a dark theme the notes background flashes with white when switching between notes. Even though I think that there is no real need of nested tags (especially when the system can't be clearly mirrored on the android app) the actual extension should work correctly. While using the folders extension the UI is broken so it is impossible to edit the tag because the interaction menu is not clickable. Regarding some of the extensions and themes: I think the note history extension should be installed by default or at least there is the need of some kind of reliability system to avoid accidentally losing data in the notes (an edit button might be useful as well even though it wouldn't have helped in my case). Not only the mark up tags didn't completely get removed but the note information somehow disappeared without any chance to get it back (I still had to activate the note history extension).Īfter this episode my sense of reliability for Standard Notes dropped quite considerably. I converted some text to bold and then to get it back to plain text quickly I pressed ctrl + z several times. I was trying the advanced editor on a existing note with some sensitive information (my bad, I know). In fact I ended up paying for a subscription basically to get rid of the painful red and white UI of the android app and only in second place for the extra features (which I will talk more about later on). In the end the software experience feels more broken than simple.

For example using the advanced editor on the desktop app means that in the android app you will have a note with visible html tags. The most annoying outcome of this choice is the very different user experience between the desktop and the mobile versions. I also really appreciate the simplicity and minimalism of the program even though it is becoming more and more clear during the regular use that is not a design choice made for usability but more to keep the software easy to maintain for the devs. I'm really satisfied with the end to end encryption and the general security model of Standard Notes. I am an Evernote user as well and I was looking for a more secure replacement. I tried Standard Notes because I am concerned with privacy and security matters.
