Love it, but…

I love this app, and how it acts like REAL post-it notes. Even better though, since you can customize fonts, colors, etc!
BUT… I very much DO NOT love how my notes randomly get wiped out completely!
Every so often, they all just get deleted! Not just the written notes (like off they didn’t save) but the ENTIRE sticky note! All customizations and everything!!
I could have 20+ notes made up (some blank, some not) and they’ll all just be gone one day. I’ve learned to started saving my favorite customizations to use as presets, but any info written in the disappeared notes is unretrievable! I’ve also started using the “Export Notes” option and saving things on my device’s drive every month or so, but don’t get your hopes up! It can’t be used to get those notes back if they disappear, because the “Import Notes” option never does anything!

Despite my sharing this feedback within the app several times, it continues to be a problem.

Disappearing notes

I have a stack of Sticky Widgets on my home screen that I use to keep various notes. Twice now, they have disappeared… I mean the widget goes blank and my notes vanish. Never again.

I’m not lying

This app asks for reviews every single second so i decided to write one. First off this app is annoyingly hard to navigate it brings me to random notes that I didn’t make and then it won’t let me out of them. So yeah it kinda sucks -Jayden

Not awesome

It won’t let me do anything. Wants me to subscribe which I want to but there’s no option anywhere. It all changed while still in my free trial period

It’s iffy.

I like to use the Sticky Widgets app to set my primary to do items every day. However, particularly lately, it just doesn’t take edits as the edits don’t erase the previous elements. For example, right now I have four items on today’s Sticky Widget and I’ve tried five times to delete the fourth one from within the widget. When I click done, the widget still shows the fourth item. This is even after I’ve edited the end of the third item, thinking that maybe there was something invisible holding the fourth item in place.

I tried to contact the developer for support, but the link just goes to his webpage and clicking on the Sticky Widget icon just takes you back to the app. I wish that the developer would fix this. Otherwise it’s a good app, but if I can’t use it with its full functionality, I’m going to have to move to something else.

Used to be Love of my Life 😩

I had the very reasonable paid version of this App which is a rare thing for me and I made myself so many custom colored stickies to help me remember things with my Fibromyalgia Brainfog!
I so adored and depended on it for so long and especially the custom gradation colors. But alas, it seems perhaps with the last Apple update or so ago or maybe out of nowhere, it got completely glitchy and unusable. None of my sticky widgets update when I change them. First it was slow or delayed with any edit and stickies would ghost on top of one another and now most are blank and everything is just frozen when I go into the app now. I want to cry and get divorced and can’t find another sticky note widget I like as well. 😫
Miserable without you Sticky Widgets!

Love it

Convenient, handy and I especially like how I can pin it to my mobile Home Screen so my to do list is right there. Often I’ll write down things that I need short-term direct access to, eg a tracking number of a package, or dimensions of a piece of furniture I need to look out for etc. it’s got so many more applications than just a list of reminders

Useful and affordable

I tried a bunch of sticky notes and this one seems to be the most useful and minimalist. The app's pro features are affordable which is a must to me, and you can still use it normally with the free features. They also offer a free trial. I fully recommend it!

Recent update deleted all data

Worked beautifully for years. Paid for the upgrade and had no regrets. This week’s update wiped out every note I had ever made and left no trace. I had previously recommended this app to lots of people but will not be doing so again. Not spontaneously deleting data is an absolute baseline for functionality and has not been met here. Terribly disappointing.

Sneaky

I bought the permanent version a year ago. It wasn't getting updated until I realized they had a new one that you can access only with a rental plan. Not an honest way of doing things.
