Hi Vanguard,

The OP says he wants the simplest text app he can find.
o Just any old app won't work for that requirement, IMHO.

(Trust me, I've tested a lot of 'em, and there are still more to test!)

The OP seems to want "simple".
o That's why I suggested Simple Mobile Tools' app, among other simple ones.

If the OP wants _both_ simple & freedom to sync where he wants, I'd suggest
a free open source app with no ads and which is completely Google free...

Something like Joplin, for example, is both FOSS & has sync for example:
o Joplin <https://joplinapp.org/>

Although I will repeat that there are so many note taking apps that we
really must start with a well detailed requirements list to be of any use
to the OP (e.g., must it save to a text format to any desired location?).

Transferring any file to/from Android to/from any desktop is trivial, e.g.,
o NitroShare <https://github.com/nitroshare>
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nitroshare.android>

In summary, the OP only asked for "simple" but to help him better, more
requirements must be specified, such as:
a. Sync
b. Save as text
c. Save to any given location
etc.
