Android Candy: Teach an Android to Take Notes

A few months ago I tried out the recently open-sourced Simplenote application from the folks at Automattic. One of the other fairly new additions to their cross-platform note-syncing platform is that an Android app is available for free in the Google Play Store.

The Android app does pretty much all the same things the desktop or web-based app does, and it syncs between devices automatically. With many “syncing” apps, I find it frustrating that the syncing isn’t reliable or consistent. I have to admit, this one seems pretty solid. Perhaps it’s because it does text and only text—I’m not sure.
