  • I understand the payment, but it’s a little expensive for easy features.

    Like, yes this app is cute, and pretty but you are not going to get a lot of stuff done (in my opinion) what with the stickers and colors. They are cute and I’m all for DIY but then there’s the price. I would keep this app if more features (that I can easily get on OTHER apps) were free. #🆓4Ever Im sorry developers, you did great but this app is not for someone in a budget looking to get stuff down. I downloaded five of these kinds of apps: Structured, Pencil Calendar, School, Habit, and digital planner. The best is probably School, and it’s free, no subscriptions required. I would definitely recommend. I’m not advertising, but if you’re looking for something to track your school schedule and homework, ding ding! 🛎️

    Thank you for writing to us.
 The free version is provided to users to experience the application. We cannot make the application totally free, that is why some functions are available only with subscription. This way we have the opportunity to develop and maintain the application. We hope for your understanding.
  • Would recommend but..

    I think this app is very nice. But it has a few thing I personally don’t. Example I love the stickers feature but the AI has trouble getting what you want so I use pre-made ones, but almost all of them are premium, and I do not have the extra money for that sadly. In conclusion it would be nice to have a little bit more for the nonprescription members. Still this app is very help other wise.
  • great app!

    This app is wonderful with many different features and accents. I love the fact that it is compatible with an Apple Pencil and that there are so many different fonts to choose from.

    Although I think this app has promise, I do however have a few issues with it. Almost all of the stickers available are ‘VIP’ which you have to pay for, there are minimal templates to choose from, and the AI sticker generator is completely horrid.

    I think this app is wonderful, and although I do not mind these issues too much since it still works just fine, I do wish there was more freedom for those who wish it.
  • The worst

    This is the wort Tia doesn’t let you do anithing because you don’t pa Pay this this this is the worst please don’t don’t do anything with this because if you don’t pay, they will not let you do anything. What do you say? Atlantic Bank is the worst thing I have I had entire life the way I am 20 years and this is the worst always get this. Thanks just because I don’t want to be something we will disturb you when you’re doing something everything will be premium did Star Wars please don’t bite it and don’t waste your time
  • Positives and negatives

    Not to be mean or anything, but why are the pen options the same as the ones on “Notes”? And every time I try to type something in the text box it logs me out of my keyboard. I’m like “Hello? I’m trying to type something here!” This to me is very frustrating. Other than those two things this app is pretty good! I really like the function that lets you make your own stickers. I can really get into detail about how I want the sticker to be. Thank you for reading my review.
  • Amazing- but bugs!

    Well, I downloaded this app and I wouldn’t say it was the best because a few things. There was no undo or erase button! (Maybe there was but I was searching for a while and I had no luck) And another thing is nothing is really free it’s all like premium or whatever you call it. It’s kind of annoying but other than that, this is a pretty good app

    Hello, J.Hoag! Thank you for using our application. There is an undo button in the upper left corner and an eraser in the drawing toolbar. All core functionality is available in the free version, but it takes time and resources to regularly update the app so premium subscriptions help us support our team. Best wishes, Simpledio
  • Beware of AI stickers

    First thing the app introduced me to was the AI sticker generator. Sounded fun, asked my daughter to give me a prompt. We went with “catdog in comic style” aka Nickelodeon catdog, or just cat and dog combo animal you would think, and… I just don’t understand how that would translate to top-nude humanoid cat and dog characters. Disturbing.

    Tried so many other things like “cute fruit bat” and “cute capybara” and… no. Just. No. I don’t really understand why the AI has a leaning to humanoid animals. A couple of times, an image generated was not shown because it was banned content??? Banned content because I wanted to see what “cute capybara” looked like??????? What??????

    But even when it got it “right” - such as when I typed in “German shepherd looking adorable with big eyes”, there seems to be a general “style” that isn’t appealing, and not a lot of variation. It seems incapable of doing styles such as sketch or watercolor (which is funny because “watercolor rainbow” is a hint prompt set up by the app). Pity, because the stickers that come with the app already are very cute and sweet looking.

    Not for me. That was a big turn off. But the entire interface aside from that seemed alright. I just. I’ve seen things I can’t unsee now.

    Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you are disappointed with our app.
 Unfortunately, it is hard to predict the result of an AI generation but we are working hard to make results as good as possible and block all inappropriate content. We keep working on the app to make it better so please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to make your experience better. Sincerely, Simpledio
  • It's adorable however no widgets?

    I love the concept! However, I wish the app charged a lifetime fee instead of yearly! I also wish it had widget options so that I can add my creations to my Home Screen. I really wanted to keep this app but maybe I’ll do so in the future as it evolves. Overall it’s sooooo cute though and intuitive to use.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for appreciating the concept of our application. We will definitely consider the idea of widgets for further development. With an annual subscription, we can regularly release fixes and functional updates to the application. Please stay tuned!
  • Omg! Pretty but has bugsss

    Let me just start insane that the graphics are amazing and the design is beautiful, but there were negative and positives. Negative: the AI feature was not helpful but I think it has a great potential to be a wonderful thing. There are limited things you can do even if you subscribe and Pay. Found it hard to put on stickers. You don’t get a lot of pre-downloaded stickers to choose from and notes etc. to choose from.
    Positive: everything about this app is super pretty and very aesthetic. I loved the pre-downloaded stickers and there was a lot about the app that change the font you can customize how you want to do your notes and you can draw on it.
    Payment: I honestly think that apps like this should be more affordable but I understand that people need to make money off their products
    The end: this was a good app but there are some things that need to be fixed. I would recommend this app two people static and like doing things kind of DIY on an iPad or a phone but I don’t recommend this to someone who just wants to get things done.

    Hello, Puttylover555! Thank you for these kind words! We are working hard on new features, fixes and content to make your experience better. We will be glad if you give us more detailed feedback on AI feature to let us improve it.
  • Difficult to use

    All of the good content is behind a paywall so if you wanna make something cool you have to do it virtually entirely from scratch, barring the like 3 templates available without payment. I spent over an hour creating something that should’ve been easy but was incredibly tedious and non intuitive. Then the cherry on top is that it was unclear how to save anything and upon accidentally hitting a button I didn’t know I hit, cleared half of my work, and could not be restored. How such a basic concept became so difficult is frankly impressive.
