I hope this results in them improving Simplenote. I find it pretty buggy.

Agreed. I experienced a big. Bug the other day that appeared like it deleted all my notes on my iPad and online and this caused me to finally bite-the-bullet and move my notes to Evernote from my offline iPhone for fear of never being able to access them again.
Was a painful upgrade experience (and the bug resolved itself in 24 hours), but I've suffered similar sync bugs over my time with Simplenote over the past 2 years and I didn't feel safe with the service anymore.

We've had a few growing pains, particularly with 3rd-party apps. We're working with developers to move them to our latest API. If you ever encounter problems, you can email us at [email protected] and we'll do our best to help you out.

Agreed, lots of glitches that kept me from shelling out for the paid service. I gave it up and went back to Dropbox for OSX <-> Android syncing.
At least the buyer isn't talking about shutting it down.

Sadly, I too found it unusably buggy. I reported a number of them. Some were fixed, some weren't. Their support response times were great and I really hoped they could get it working smoothly but after a year I was still having issues and it was not to be. Shame because I loved the simplicity.
