I must admit that after the latest several updates, the app became more stable.
Will add 2 more stars to rating.

All the records are marked as Unpublished.
The Send to button stopped working.

UPD: Crashes on launch each time without error report if device free space falls below 1.2 Gb. In the other cases crashes 1/2 of the time. Very slow on start. It seems, it doesnt backup last N notes on device to show quickly while syncing in background.
It just ISNT a notepad for quick notes. The work with the app is by no means quick. I was forced to install other apps and move most frequently needed notes there.
The support answers sometimes and sometimes remains silent but they have very important rule to not implement anything that was asked at all. All they may say is the little update is on the go improving stability a bit. Also, they like small fonts very much and they are sure everyone can read it easily even after being told the opposite.

Cant wait for third-party notepad with Simplenote sync. That would be an ideal solution.
Knowing the experience with Mac version which is the worst notepad with Simplenote support. The best is nvALT. Simplenote official one is painfully slow and it has so small font size making it merely useless. That dont fix it.
iOS version is very slow on start. It doesnt give an a ability to quickly record your thoughts or info and move on, until it decides that it tried enough to sync with server.
In the latest times, it started to crash on launch. I tried to kill it via system process manager. Then, Ive removed the app, reinstalled it and went through authorization and first time syncing. It seemed to fix the crash, but only partly, as I see by now.
I have 2 notepad apps just to drop a note quickly without waiting for Simplenote to start or guessing will it even try or this time it wont.
Yes, I have a lot of notes. But 2 months ago it wasnt an issue for the app. And I havent added thousand notes recently. Indeed that is the thing. If I had just 2 notes, I could move to any other notes service quite easily, even if in that case the app worked fine.
Well, the service itself is useful and the idea is really great. But the implementation is weak with sync issues reported by other users and startup crashes and freezes I saw by myself. Dont believe they will fix it, however.
And, traditionally, I need larger text size.
Thanks!
