Minor problems with Evernote for iPad and iPhone

Don't get me wrong; Evernote is a great for taking notes and accessing them through multiple clients and methods and my life would be rather less well organised without it. My problem is that the iOS clients for Evernote are often, for no discernible reason, unable to display synced notes. This is very annoying and makes it difficult sometimes to work on a note, even when it was created on my iPad, when I'm offline or away from my desk (as now, for example, when I'm on an aeroplane).

Another grumble is the lack of rich-text editing (although I think this is promised for a future release). These features are available in the desktop clients but font settings and other elements (tick boxes, for example) are stripped out when notes are viewed in the iOS clients, making the features somewhat less than useful for anyone working with a multi-OS setup.

Minor gripes, to be sure, but annoying enough that I would consider switching to another note app if one appeared with the same features and an Evernote importer.
