### 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

### 4/5 — Missing checkmark

*2025-05-20, version 12.0*

I’ve been using ABC notes forever, very convenient, but in a recent update on your keyboard, you have left out “checkmarks”  when I write a list of things that I need to do I like to check them off and I can no longer do that. I have to use an X and I really prefer the check mark. How about reinstating it?

### 4/5 — Very good

*2025-03-26*

Very simple to use

### 4/5 — abcNotes- Sticky Note Madness

*2025-03-16, version 12.0*

I love this app.  I have begun using it instead of Notes because it makes temporary information so much easier to find.

### 5/5 — Sheer quality!

*2025-03-06, version 12.0*

I am so grateful for the continued availability of this beautifully designed and smooth functioning note/sticky note application, abcNotes! It's totally and functionally practical, impactful, bold, sturdy and delightfully good-feeling well thought out creative quality application which has successfully stood the test of time.

### 3/5 — Вопрос

*2025-01-10*

Здравствуйте, подскажите пожалуйста, а можно ли в заметках создавать список, чтобы отмечать галочками уже выполненное. Очень не хватает этой возможности либо я ее не могу найти. Прошу помощи.

### 5/5 — Project Assistant

*2024-12-04, version 12.0*

Great app. Helps organize  your thoughts ,and seeing the big picture of what ever goals or plans you have.

### 5/5 — Синхронизация с обоями

*2024-11-25*

Сделайте пожалуйста синхронизацию одного из столов с обоями устройства, чтобы важные заметки всегда были перед глазами. Изменил заметку-изменились обои. Куплю сразу на все устройства.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-11-10*

I needed a new sticky note app and decided to try this one.  It is easy to use plus the website has a manual to help you get up and going.  The $2.99 to unlock everything is beyond awesome.  No subscriptions to mess with.  Lots of good options.  You can’t go wrong with this app.  A big THANKS to the developer.

### 2/5 — Funktioniert unter iOS 18.1

*2024-11-07*

Ich habe diese geliebt! Leider kann man die Notizen unter der iOS 18.1 nicht mehr bearbeiten, somit ist sie unbrauchbar geworden. Wenn das behoben werden kann, gibt es fünf Sterne.

### 3/5 — Useful App

*2024-11-01, version 11.1*

I have used this app for a couple of years. I like being able to change the background, fonts, color of the note etc. It works extremely well as my daily “to do”

Unfortunately after a recent update, I can no longer edit my note. Great app otherwise.

### 4/5 — Kalender?

*2024-10-12*

Ich finde die App echt cool vielleicht könnte dort ein Kalender eingefügt werden?

### 3/5 — Interesting structure…

*2024-08-11, version 11.1*

… to try out for my ADHD. It would be nice to have plain pastel and bright backgrounds. The current backgrounds are a tad overstimulating right now. Would be awesome to have widget capabilities.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-06-30, version 11.1*

This is a great app!

### 5/5 — 5 stars. One suggestion. 😊

*2024-06-09*

Exactly what I was looking for! Simple and colourful. A well designed app. Also, in the era of merciless subscriptions, it is very refreshing to see a one-time fee app. 
One suggestion: consider adding a tiny little time stamp to the note - it will be super convenient to see when it was created.

### 5/5 — A Treat for the Eyes

*2024-05-26*

Love this note app particularly for its design. Being able to use any pic as background and the wide choice of note colours and styles is addictive. Also find the ability to create a number of separate desktops is so very useful and I can regularly move the notes around as I add or edit which makes it easy to organize. Great app!

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2024-10-30*

Здравствуйте после обновление на iOS 18.11 перестали копироваться заметки .
Исправьте пожалуйста 🙏

### 1/5 — Adds

*2024-06-21, version 11.1*

Way to many addssssss

### 1/5 — Trop de pub et bloque l accès

*2023-11-29*

Le principe est bon sauf que vous êtes bombardé de  Pub même lorsque l appli est ouverte et que vous cliqué sur un autre post it
Du coup vous voulez fermer la fenêtre pub et hop. Page blanche et vous ne pouvez plus accéder à vos post it
À fuir pour une utilisation quotidienne

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-02-20, version 10.15*

Adds are ridiculous a
The

### 1/5 — ADS still on

*2022-12-02, version 10.15*

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

### 1/5 — Annoying adds

*2022-10-30*

Too many annoying unwanted adverts that puts us off of the whole bloody app.

### 1/5 — Возможно хороший софт

*2021-12-12*

Удаляю из-за рекламы которая не позволяет даже редактировать заметку. Яндекс вообще сквозным потом льёт спам-рекламу, хотя он и есть спам….

### 1/5 — Одна реклама, невозможно заметку сделать

*2021-10-26*

Одна реклама постоянно, невозможно даже два слова в заметке написать

### 1/5 — WTH

*2021-10-10, version 10.15*

Would be a useful app, but constantly bombarded with advertising

### 1/5 — If you like commercials …

*2021-07-02, version 10.15*

Enjoyed this app for about 2 days before the add “takeover” started. At first the adds are at the top, but after 2-3 days they take over the entire screen with full “commercials” and this happens every time you try to edit a note. I planned to buy the app ($2.99) once I decided it was useful, but this hard sell technique has caused me to uninstall it and go elsewhere.

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

### 5/5 — A favorite tool

*2025-06-18*

I’ve been using this app for ages and it has always worked flawlessly. Recently I went back to a paper planner (for my ADHD) and abcNotes has been a lifesaver. It gives me little visually engaging sticky notes for when I’m away from my planner. Anything I need to remember goes on a sticky note and gets transferred into my planner later. Much easier than using Notes because I don’t have to search for what I wrote - the sticky notes are easy to see. If there’s something I want to save I can move it to another of the 15 desktops. I’m so grateful to the developers for this perfect, fun, simple tool.

### 5/5 — Lovely notes

*2025-05-22, version 12.0*

I love all the pretty colors and options for saving notes.

### 5/5 — Pratique

*2025-03-10*

J’aime beaucoup, pratique pour mémoriser ou supprimer ses notes. Facile d’utilisation. Couleurs et polices attractives.👍
