1. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   stopped working with recent update. this was useful for a while but unfortunately it’s recently stopped working / showing up on my home screen. i’ve switched to using an app called “WidgetNotes” which i’d now highly recommend instead of this one - it works better, is completely free, and never tries to upsell features like Sticky Note Widget does.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Really? Pay a subscription for THIS APP? Use the Post-it notes app. It’s much better and it’s free!. “We are planning to increase the price of the Pro version of StickyNote by about twice as much as the current price to accommodate future functional enhancements and the introduction of a new subscription function that will start in June.” I am constantly amazed that people actually pay a subscription for a mediocre little app (like this one) that a smart person could have created in a few hours. Monthly payment, unbelievable. But I guess they are just capitalizing on the proverb "A fool and his money are soon parted".

3. ★★★★★search fails to find what is needed

   No Search Bar. A search bar is essential, but this app does not have one. In the Age of Information, anything should have a search bar. Disappointing. May need to find another note app.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Language. When trying to get instructions and utube, EVERYTHING is in Japanese!

5. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Waste of time. Installed app. Added widget to Home Screen. Wrote notes. Notes don’t appear… just a non-English, partially blurred out image. Open the help, and it’s in Chinese with no option for English. Uninstalled.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Much of instructions not in English. Could not find out how to change the language and when hit (how too) it was not English

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not able to interpret foreign instructions. Would be a great app IF you could understand the instructions for how to use and troubleshoot.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Ads. Help section does not have English.. Very sterile interface, except for the ads, which I was disappointed to see. The other sticky note apps I’ve tried do not have ads. This app isn’t as intuitive as some of the other sticky note apps. The Help section is not in English; I believe it’s in Japanese, and another section in perhaps Mandarin? There is not an option to choose English or any other languages. I am looking for an app that keeps sticky notes on the Lock Screen, as well as the Home Screen. Most apps require a subscription/upgrade for the Lock Screen feature. I was hoping this one is different.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Stopped updating widgets. This was a great app, but with recent updates it appears to have stopped working. I am a pro user (paid).

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    TERRIBLE. FIND HOW MAKE WORK FOR ME! GOOGLE AD, COULD NOT FIND HOW TO RESIZE NOTEPROBABLY ME.

11. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Bullet Colors Disappeared :(. Before the update the bullet points were colored, now the bullet points have been removed. Please bring back the bullet points as it helps me organize the topic by color (work, school, home etc…)

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Sync notes. 2 star for mac 4 star for iPhone When they have sync notes between the 2 i'll change my review to 4 stars

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Sweet developer. So I downloaded this app so I could use the widget to put a self hating note on my Home Screen to remind myself how worthless I am (I’m in a really horrible place in life; dealing with abuse and this was a way for me to cope with being treated so badly) … well oneday it changed to a sweet message opposite to what I had originally written. None in my household did it… possibly the developer changed it? It made me cry in a good way, like someone out there actually cared about me. Thank you developer if that was you.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Widget wishes. Would like to show more than one note in the widget on Lock Screen with color variations… the entire point of having a sticky reminder for me. I don’t know why this is a limitation on nearly all sticky note apps.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Confusing. It would be helpful if there were a user guide in various languages, such as English.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No Syncing. I set up several lists ore I realized the app does not sync! Worthless purchase!

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Devil spawn app. Devil spawn app

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Could have been a great app. Doesn’t do what I need. Instructions are not very clear on adding multiple notes in layers. All of it opens in another language but thankfully you can open in safari and can translate from there. Deleting this app even tho it had potential

19. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Cloud sync. Please add cloud sync between devices

20. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Photos. We need to be able to put screenshots on our memos

21. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Larger. Love my sticky note for my daily mantras, but it could be larger on home screen to make all of my lines visible without opening

22. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Please remove. Why have the sticky note label on the bottom of the widget? Ruins the aesthetic. My phone background is black along with the widget background and with white letters it would be seamless..but that logo is an eye sore. Please put an option to remove.

23. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Seems very useful , but …. Whenever I try to layer lists it will only duplicate the same list / color - trying to change it afterwards changes both lists … huh No matter what i have duplicate lists I had set up the lists ahead Added one widget , closed, swapped the open list - but when i go to add the same/ duplicate list is only available I think it will be a very helpful app, if i can get past this glitch.

24. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    English version?. Say to use app and gets the job done, but if you need any assistance (how to keep notes on your Home Screen) all the directions are Chinese. 👎🏻

25. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Love the design. It has better customization compared to others I’ve used. Not sure if it’s a bug, but I can’t set another widget without affecting another. I tried to make 2 separate widgets, both different sizes with different notes on each. But when I change a color on one, the other changes with it. I create different notes for each but both stickies displayed the same notes.

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    I’d give it 5 stars if…. Would be a great app if they simply added rich text formatting within each note. Crazy that only a single font, color or size are applied to the entire note. I use Sticky Note for help with memorization. Would be awesome if I could format keywords with a note. I thought maybe the paid version might have this, but alas, no.

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Beautiful. I love the simplicity. And I love how beautiful it is. There is just one thing I’d like to add — alerts. Alerts attached to the memos.

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    It’s good but…. It’s good but I wish it would sync on both the iPad and iPhone with the same notes.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love -but-. Love this app however with the paid version I cannot get a second app to appear. Have turned my phone off and on, followed all instructions and the note that appears is not accurate to the one I created. It’s a mixture of my 1st and second notes…

30. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Really handy user friendly love it. I love sticky notes app it’s almost perfect. I’m just wondering would it be possible to have the function in the widget can shuffle the sticky notes that would be really cool!
