### 5/5 — ADS still on

*2026-04-21*

This app offers add free option if you pay the subscription, I paid the the subscription but the ads Still come on. It’s impossible to reach for help or the creator of this app The ads are extremely annoying and interferes. Greatly the operation of this app

This is a great program !!

### 5/5 — Simple but efficient app

*2026-04-19, version 12.0*

Simple efficient and gives you cool features regardless if you pay

### 5/5 — Have had for years!

*2026-03-07, version 12.0*

Still as lovely an app as ever!
 The only drawback is that we cannot search in text.

### 5/5 — Excellente application

*2026-02-21*

Un grand bravo pour cette application aussi simple que belle.
J’espère qu’un jour on pourra utiliser 30 tableaux au lieu des 15 actuels pour en profiter encore davantage!

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2025-12-18*

It’s so easy, so effortless to use! Only missing 2 things; a widget so you can have on Lock Screen and Home Screen. Screenshot doesn’t work for me. 
Voice to talk your lists or thoughts. I’d pay extra if it didn’t cost outrageously like all the other note applications. The price is right for those who don’t have lots of money to spend. Thank you for this application.

### 5/5 — Phone size bulletin!

*2025-11-17*

This app is pretty useful for things I need to have in the back of my mind. My feedback that I would love to give is having the ability to upload a PDFs and drag that around on the board and also add links to Notes, which could be condensed into a text. I think this will make the app even better in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Best sticky nots

*2025-11-04, version 12.0*

I love how easy is to use

### 3/5 — Eigentlich gut

*2025-08-01*

Die App ist eigentlich super.

Aber die Notes sind zum anschauen zoombar, nur nicht auf Bildschirmgröße auf meinem iPad. 

Dann funktioniert das drehen nur schwierig. 

Letzten Endes ist die Synchronisation nicht regelmäßig und das Wichtigste: Ich habe weder die Hilfe aufrufen können, noch kann man mit handschriftliche Notizen festhalten. 

Ständig lauft die Erkennung und man erzeugt Druckschriften. Es gibt keinen Schalter das umzuschalten

Ich glaube es war mal eine gute App. Aber es scheint keine wirklich runde Funktionen mehr zu beinhalten.

### 4/5 — Support und Website nicht erreichbar

*2025-06-21*

Die App nutze ich seit Jahren begeistert. Nach Portierung auf iPhone 16 will ich nun den Support kontaktieren*), aber: 404-Meldung im Safari, „Berichterstattung nicht möglich“ im Store. Ist Alsedi weg vom Fenster? - *)Es fehlt bei mir jetzt über der Tastatur die Leiste mit den Pfeil- und Rauten-Symbolen. Liegt es an der App oder an einer fehlenden Schrift auf dem iPhone??

### 3/5 — Only good for looks

*2025-06-21, version 12.0*

It’s trash
