Can't believe that it wasn't here already such an old app

Thanks for your submission.

The project seems to include trackers and proprietary components unfortunately: https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-android/issues/382

I suspected something like this might be the blocker. F-droid had this app for some time, but now it's not there. Izzy still has it on his repo though. I still think it's a worthy app of the list, I've been using it from the last 3/4 years. It even has option to opt out from sharing analytics.

I can't find a related PR there – neither one that added or removed it.

Izzy accepts some proprietary components or tracking, but clearly marks it as such.

Indeed, but as long as it contains proprietary components and/or tracking it doesn't meet the inclusion criteria here. This also prevents it from getting published on F-Droid.

So let's cross fingers :crossed_fingers: devs are going to fix this or at least provide a FOSS build flavour.
