An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A quick notepad for short notes with color-coded sticky notes. A notification-bar widget lets you scroll through notes without opening the app. Sync between iPad and iPhone works. There is no autosave: you have to tap the checkmark or edits are lost.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

After spending several hours test driving various sticky note apps, I frankly gave up the notion of ever finding one to my liking. The ones I tried were too time consuming in respect to navigation, they would delete notes on their own, they were not very well laid out

Apple needs to fly Mr. Tsopanakis to Cupertino and woo him with royalty payments or a briefcase full of stock options. Then, Sticky Notes HD needs to be standard in every iOS release. Sticky Notes HD is the definition of serenity.
