Get Simplenote a Better Icon
Simplenote is the easy-to-use, syncable, searchable notes application for iPhone and iPod Touch. I’ve been a long time user of this application, and recently it has been gaining a lot of recognition including a review on John Gruber’s Daring Fireball as well as a mention by Patrick Rhone on The Random Post. In his post, Patrick comments on the app’s badly designed icon:
That said, I do have to take issue with one little thing that I don’t like about Simplenote. I hate the icon. Seriously, it has the most unattractive icon of any app I’ve seen for the iPhone. Even worse that the original Wine Guide icon that looked like a lady’s crotch. It actually has caused me to come close to deleting the app on several occasions. I certainly don’t have it on my iPhone’s home page. Yes, it is that bad.
In his followup post Gruber writes:
It is pretty bad.
So, I proposed this idea on Twitter, let’s raise some money and have a new icon designed and give it to the Simplenote developer as a gift, because as users we need a better icon.
Update: Simplenote responds:
You’re giving us some great feedback that we’ll be incorporating shortly. In the near term we are:
Changing the icon
