Don't want to see the full address of an internal link when accessing one note from another - I just want to see an underlined hyperlink name. Also, clicking on the internal link has no effect in itself, it can only be accessed by clicking on the text icon on the toolbar. In my case, clicking on the text icon momentarily opens the referenced note with a blue background, but it immediately closes, depositing me back to the list of notes. Something's going wrong. Also,why no spell check in Linux?

It's a very good simple note taking app. If only the sync issues weren't there. Of all the cross platform syncing apps I use daily (onenote, dynalist, evernote, etc.) this is the only one which doesn't sync properly. And in the app there is no way to prompt a sync. Not even closing and re-opening on all devices helps. It has been that way for ages. I would be willing to pay for this app with a decent sync experience. I wonder when this will be fixed.

We confirmed sync is working. A note with 516,000 characters synced in 0.47 seconds. Syncing speed depends on your network connection. If you're having sync issues, email us at support@simplenote.com for help.

Pretty great and the simple part is very true, it's very close at least. But some things are annoying, like the tags: 1 in settings you can unlock them from being alphabetically sorted, great, but then you can't reorder them and good luck inserting anything where you want it to go, for me it went straight into it's alphabetical position. 2 you can't pin tags? 3 you go to edit the tags they are still sorted alphabetically and can't be renamed? 4 most stupid of all, no search and tap in one place
