### 5/5 — 5Star APP

*2026-08-08, version 4.0.0*

Great.  suggestion: is it possible to enter input mode directly by using blinkurl://new?

### 5/5 — The app I turn to daily to stay focused

*2026-07-24*

I love this minimalistic note taking app designed to record your thoughts quickly and efficiently. I use it for my to-do list and also to record my notes, shopping list, books I want to read, and projects and goals. It doesn’t include instructions because it’s so intuitive that it has no learning curve. Anyone can get started using it right away. I like how I can highlight items in blue and red to prioritize them and focus on things that need my attention. I don’t use the reminder feature, but some people might find it helpful. The voice dictation feature is especially handy for recording entries on the go. I also like how it displays items in a non-listing layout, so you can see them at a glance without scrolling. For faster access, you can add it as a widget on your home screen.

### 5/5 — Yes

### 4/5 — Neat, nice, but there is a problem

*2026-06-05*

Dear developers, judging by your latest announcement, you are still around. Please, I beg you: add the ability for text to be saved automatically when tapping the dark area above the input field.

The thing is, it feels natural to tap that dark space to save a new note. Currently, tapping the white area starts recording, which makes users instinctively want to tap the empty space above to save their work. However, after accidentally clicking that dark area, the entire typed text vanishes instantly without a trace.

You probably intended for tapping the dark area to clear the text, but that’s usually handled by a dedicated “X” button in the right side of the input field. Right now, I get very frustrated every time my note isn't saved this way, forcing me to retype it and remember that I need to hit the blue button—which just isn't intuitive.

### 5/5 — Love This App!

*2026-06-04*

Super Simple, super easy and intuitive, I hope developer continues to  work on this App! I am subscribed and own way too many note taking Apps but this one really stands out from all of them! Happy to support this developer to further develop this App! TO THE Developer: - Please add more reminder abilities!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-30*

Simple, intuitive and practical. The only thing missing was to integrate with the shortcuts.

### 3/5 — Fantastic, but..

*2026-05-06*

It's very useful to have word warping for better readability. But if it only works inside the app not on the widget level, it is rather useless...

### 4/5 — 위젯별로 띄울 수 있는 페이지가 달랐으면 좋겠어요

*2026-04-25*

지금은 페이지1만 위젯으로 띄울수있는 것 같던데, 나머지 페이지들도 설정해서 띄울 수 있으면 좋겠어요
또 목록들 사이에 순서도 정렬할 수 있었으면 좋겠어요.

### 5/5 — 小组件字数只支持10个汉字

*2026-04-10, version 3.2.0*

希望能设置小组件显示多少字或者能多显示几个字
