Simplenote, which has a lot of functionality similar to that of Notespark, covers the bulk of what I formerly used Notespark for. Notespark would still have been my preference, but they're closing the service down, so what are you going to do.... (By the way, WriteRoom is temporarily free, so you might want to grab that now in case if there's even a possibility that you'll use it.)<br /><br />I'm currently using a 4th generation iPod Touch with iOS 5.1.1. My chosen solution(s) may or may not work out as well for you depending on your hardware, software, and habits, but if you're planning to manually copy-and-paste from entirely within the Notespark and Simplenote environments (as I did), you better get cracking, given the former's imminent closing. Sure, you could still export from Notespark for a while (after the closing of most of their services) and then work from that export to get your stuff into Simplenote, but I suspect that way would be more troublesome.<br /><br />I tried Evernote, Nebulous Notes (Lite), and PlainText before settling on the above solution.<br /><br />Notespark can still be useful as a scratch pad even after they close the service. It boots faster than Simplenote and is of course much better than the built-in iOS Notes app. I used it recently to draft several paragraphs of an e-mail after the Yahoo! Mail app lost my already-entered text when I attempted to send a message (didn't want to lose my work again; I copied it from Notespark).Ken Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504808533276465046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3091238552827854131.post-2330583885608538942013-12-29T15:29:56.439-05:002013-12-29T15:29:56.439-05:00Ken, what are you going to use instead of Notespar...Ken, what are you going to use instead of Notespark? I also have an older ipod touch, and i find that evernote takes 9 seconds to load, every time, even when it's already "open". Also looking at Nebulous Notes, confusing because it goes through Dropbox.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
