Reported by one of our users via email:

When I hold my finger on text to magnify it and move the cursor to the right character the page scrolls up and I can't make the change. It scrolls until I remove my finger.

"I can recreate this (iOS 7.0.4, iPhone 5s). I can make it happen on a long note, when trying to move the cursor in the lower 3rd or so of the text are."

Tested on an iPhone 4s with Simplenote 4.0.15 and IOS 8.1.3

Steps:

1. Close the Simplenote app by pressing the menu button and swiping the app off the screen
2. Open the Simplenote app

The list of notes is visible for a fraction of a second which was long enough for me to take a screenshot of it before the passcode screen appeared.

A user reports that when they copy and paste a very long note (> 75,000 words) into the app from Apple's Notes, it doesn't sync with the Mac app or their other iOS device. However the sync does work when they create a note with just a couple of lines. Furthermore when they paste another lengthy note into the Mac app the two iOS devices get a new blank note.

I can't reproduce this. I've tried with a couple of very long notes and the sync works for me.

Description:

Let's add a Live Markdown highlight, for basic markers, such as tiles, bold and italics.

Details:

• Add a markdown toggle to iOS info sheet
• No global setting for markdown keeping a per-note markdown setting, behavior will be: If last new note created has markdown, then next new note will be markdown enabled (markdown enabled = systemTags has markdown)
• Live Highlight should only change the font style, and shouldn't perform any kind of text replacement in order to hide the "markers".

If you try to collaborate a note on an iPad in iOS 7, no field appears to enter email addresses.

Works fine on iOS 8. Might also impact iPhone, I didn't test that.

Report:

(...) weird bug where the dark theme showed dark text in the note editor. Instead of the light blue color.
then changed the cursor location, and it all magically turned the correct color.

Let's review the code in charge of setting the TextView's text color, and make sure there are no invalid flows there.

@dmsnell just managed to reproduce this with the following steps:

1. Log into Simplenote OSX and iOS
2. OSX in white mode + iOS in dark mode
3. In iOS, tap over a note to get to the details view (do NOT get the keyboard onscreen)
4. Edit the same note in OSX
5. Once the change is onscreen, tap anywhere

Result: Keyboard onscreen. (iOS’s text goes dark?)

I've been unable to trigger this on my side (Latest iOS build + Simplenote's AppStore build). Scheduling this bug for the next release!

We used to have this. Adding this so we don't forget to consider it in the future.

In terms of support, this usually manifests as users asking for a button or shortcut to quickly get to the end of long notes. I think remembering scroll position is probably better.

The dots at the bottom of the screen in the NUX should be selectable to move between pages. This is an accessibility issue as well as general adherence to standard control usage.

They seem to be somewhat selected when running on an actual device. Not sure what's actually going on or if there is something obscuring a part of the UIPageControl.

Xcode 6.3 is printing out a collision between the Note entity's deleted attribute, and NSManagedObject's deleted property.

Simplenote overrides NSManagedObject's deleted getter, which is used internally by CoreData to mark entities for deletion, next time save is executed.

Let's investigate + implement a safe workaround.

The cleanest workaround to fix this issue, is to preserve the remote attribute name (deleted), and map it into a different local attribute.

Let's first implement the appropiate Simperium Mechanism first.

Most of Apple's built in apps allow you to swipe the keyboard down off the screen when being displayed over a UIScrollView (or descendent of).

Could be as simple as flipping a boolean property on the UIScrollView in question.

A user has commented that data detectors can be quite annoying while writing notes and other text. Such as writing a date that automatically highlights blue.

An ideal feature in this scenario, would be to offer a preference of disabling data detectors throughout Simplenote.

Replicate;

1. Write a date, ex. 1/30
2. Hide keyboard.
3. Date becomes highlighted in blue.

1. Enable Touch ID for Simplenote and Dropbox.
2. Choose "Save as Dropbox" in Simplenote to save the note in Dropbox.
3. Then return to Simplenote - the Touch ID is displayed but not usable. The app only allows input using the keyboard.

From a user:

I use simplenote on Mac and iOS. Both systems have native support for rtl (right to left) languages, In my case it's Arabic. Simplenote on both systems doesn't keep the text on the right as it should be for a rtl text. I could set the direction to rtl from the menu (in iOS) but it gets back to the left side after leaving the app. On Mac it’s not possible to set the note to RTL direction. I hope it’s a bug that could fixed. I really like the app, this is the only reason i didn’t fully switch to Simplenote.

If you have a long list of tags and are viewing notes for a tag near the bottom when you return to the tags list, it takes you back to the top. A user would like it to remember your placement in the list to save having to scroll all the way down again.

To make it even more clear, the back button should read "Search" instead of "Notes" so the user knows what to expect when they tap the button.

Also, the results text is off center at the bottom.

A user on an iPhone 4 reports that they cannot use the app with an account that contains thousands of notes. When they access a different account which contains just 4 notes it works perfectly. The troublesome account causes the app to freeze and sometimes displays a white screen of death just after signing in.

Update:

I've been trying to reproduce this issue (unsuccessfully) on an iPad Mini 1st gen (the slowest hardware i've got!).

Plus, i've been doing some profiling as well. This user has ~1600 notes in his main account, and the app's ram usage never peaks above 5mb. Disk space shouldn't be an issue.

I'm sorry to say that (unless we can repro it, or get a crashlog at least) there's not much we can do.

New info: This seems to happen if Simplenote and iOS are both set to Dark theme, AND if iOS is set to Dark and Simplenote is set to System Default.

A user reports that then they edit a note with the dark theme enabled the text in the note switches from blue to black and becomes difficult to read. I can reproduce this with some of my own notes but not all of them. Here's an example:

I'm not sure if this is something we can fix but a user reports that they can't put the cursor at the end of a line where there's a line break (¶ in Word terms) for notes that have been copied from Word for iOS. I installed the app (Word) and can reproduce the problem. It works for lines that wrap to the next line but not when there's a line break.

More was thinking something like 1password  
Where you only have to enter your password / fingerprint after X minutes of it being closed
So if you're bouncing from app to Simplenote and back a lot, you're not being hit with the alert over and over and over
In fact some sort of timeout (a minute?) should probably be the default

Steps:

1. Create a new note and hit enter at the end of the note to add a new line.
2. Return to the list of notes and then open the note again and tap in the space that is the new line to paste some text.
3. Paste the text.

It removes the new line and instead appends the pasted text to the line above.

A user reports that when they view the Trash and swipe across the top-most note to restore it, the restore button appears just beneath the Empty trash button with little space in between. This makes it easy to completely empty the trash accidentally when all you want to do is restore a note from the trash. It might be better to move the "Empty" button to the other side of the search bar.
