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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Neat, nice, but… *2026-04-10* Recomend! Could be 10 of 10, but there is a one little problem. There is a lack of functionality to save written and accidentally closed new task. Dear developers, please, add memorizing text that has just been written and accidentally closed with tapping to dark area above the input line. And add button inside the input line to clear the hole written text. TIA! 👏🔥 UPD 10 aug 2026: So many years have passed, but there no update related to this essential feature. So I made a conclusion that this is not worth to assess more than 2 stars ### 4/5 — macでの挙動が *2026-04-06* 大変良いアプリです。開発者様の想定していない使い方かも知れませんがiCloud対応したこともありmacでもiphone画面の大きさで使ってみてます。macだけの不具合として、もう消した項目の通知が生きていて通知されてしまう、そもそも消した項目が見えない、などが見られました。可能でしたらご対応ください。 ### 3/5 — Please fix iOS 27 Bugs *2025-09-28* Leider gibt es seit dem Update Darstellungsfehler und das Widget reagier nicht mehr direkt ### 5/5 — So close! *2025-09-26, version 2.8.1* I love the concept have having everything listed horizontally in the widget so that more can be shown. One more thing to make this app perfect: the ability to choose colors via hex. A couple other ideas: spacers between tasks and be able to rearrange the order my tasks are in. ### 5/5 — Everything is great, one small request *2025-09-21* I love everything about this app. I just wish that when the dark mode is enabled. The app icon can turn into dark mode as well. Thanks developers! **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! We’re happy you enjoy the app. And great suggestion — we’ll consider adding a dark mode version of the app icon in a future update :) Thanks again for your feedback! ### 4/5 — ios26 *2025-09-18, version 2.8.1* 업데이트하고 나서 위젯에 흰줄 생겼는데 너무 거슬려요🥲 없애주세요.. ### 5/5 — Everything is great, one small request *2025-08-12* I love everything about this app. I just wish that when the dark mode is enabled. The app icon can turn into dark mode as well. Thanks developers! ### 5/5 — 절대 지우지 않는 앱 *2025-07-23, version 2.7.1* 처음으로 리뷰 쓰고싶어서 앱스토어 들어왔습니다. 아이폰6s인가 8부터 꾸준히 잘 사용하고 있습니다. 너무 익숙해서 잘 몰랐는데, 문득 생각해보니 제 일상에서 빠지면 안 될 앱으로 자리잡았습니다. 투두앱, 메모앱 막론하고 결국 되돌아와서 블링크입니다. 좋은 앱 잘 만들어주셔서 감사합니다. ### 5/5 — Beira a perfeição *2025-07-17* O suficiente para ser produtivo sem te distrair personalizando. ### 4/5 — タブ希望 *2025-07-17* メモの分類ができるようグループタブを作って欲しいな ### 5/5 — 이만한 앱이 없네요 *2025-06-16, version 2.7.1* 정말 잘쓰고 있습니다 ### 5/5 — 여전히 잘 쓰게 된다 *2025-06-04, version 2.7.1* 심플하고 깔끔한 메모 앱 ### 5/5 — Settings Inquiry *2025-06-02, version 2.7.1* Good day! I would like to ask how I can access the settings in the Blink app as I would like to customize the notification frequency of the highlighted (red/blue) items in my list. The logo in the bottom right of the same line as the archived items in the previous versions is not visible on my end. My app is up to date and I am on an iPhone 16 Plus. Hope you are able to read this and help out. Thank you! ### 5/5 — 完璧。要望が２つ。 *2025-06-01* 「こんなメモあったらいいな」のそのままのアプリです。 見つけた時に感動さえ覚えました。 UIや基本機能はそのままで十分ですが、２つ要望があります。 １．iPadへの対応 iPadに対応・同期ができたら、このアプリはもっとより良い私のパートナーになります。 ２．ダークアイコンへの対応 iPhoneでホーム画面を編集→左上ボタンからカスタマイズ→ダークアイコンに設定、した際に黒くならないのが残念です。このアプリだけ浮いてしまうのが嫌で、今はライトアイコンにしていますが、できればダークアイコンにも対応して欲しいです。 ### 5/5 — Love it. Simple capture and Priming. *2025-05-21, version 2.7.1* Does what it says. Notifications could be better customised. But super fast to prioritise what's really The One Focus to be mega productive. ### 5/5 — Can iCloud sync be supported? *2025-02-09, version 2.7.1* I like this software very much, but I also want it to support iCloud synchronization. Because I have a lot of devices are using this app, but the data between different devices can not sync with each other, let me very troubled. And I wondered if the software could support every inspirational note I had. It would have a timestamped original message that I could see, because a lot of ideas I would be curious about when I created them ### 5/5 — Hands Down Favourite *2025-01-27, version 2.7.1* This is, hands down, my favourite reminders app. Simple, no frills, easy to use. Gives me all that I need and nothing that I don’t. 👍🏻 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Would not refund *2024-10-03, version 2.6.2* Bought didn’t like the features put in a refund 5 minutes later and got denied. ### 1/5 — . *2024-09-09, version 2.6.0* 위젯 오류 난지 몇주 지났는데 아직도 안고치고 있는 방치된 어플입니다. 다른 정상적인 메모앱 쓰세요. ### 1/5 — ウィジェットが乱れる *2024-08-26* 最近のアップデートからウィジェットが乱れます。この機能が好きで使ってるので早く治して欲しいです。 ### 1/5 — How do I get to the app Menu? *2023-07-13, version 2.5.0* After I purchased and downloaded Pages, a menu came up that included the notes color settings and several other items. I cannot figure out how to open that menu again. I deleted the app thinking the menu might come up when the app was newly installed That did not work and now I cannot find a way to reinstall the pages function. The developer site seems nonexistent so I have no way to get the information about the menu, nor to get the pages functionality back. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2023-07-13, version 2.5.0* Hi I like the idea of your app & the dictation. However it’s frustrating to use because the page is badly designed & formatted. Even the top date can’t be seen. You really need to re- design the page & accessories so that we can easily select various icons that will then open selected icon functions allowing users to select Color, format, font size, page number, style vertical or horizontal or point for , list or notes. These are only a few suggestions. It has potential to be a useful tool if you consider making changes. ### 1/5 — Settings not available *2022-12-31, version 2.4.5* This app is setting reminders that I haven’t asked for and I have no control over what it is doing. Looks like a great app but it must have settings imbedded in this somewhere? ### 1/5 — There’s no widget *2022-11-26, version 2.4.5* Widget doesn’t exist ### 1/5 — 이 따위 허접한 앱을 돈 받고 팔면 양심 없는 겁니다 *2022-08-25, version 2.4.5* 이 앱은 왜 순서를 내 맘대로 못하게 하나요? 이걸 왜 안해주는 건가요? 실력 없으면 앱 내려요 돈 받고 팔았으면 기본은 해야죠? 아주 기본적인 기기간 동기화 조차도 안해주고 있잖아요 ### 1/5 — 課金しない方が良い *2021-11-17* 課金して5ページ使えるようにしました。 しかし、最近すぐに1ページだけになります。 設定から5ページをオンにすればメモ含めて使えるようになりますがとても不便です。 すぐに1ページだけに戻されるので、課金しないで1ページだけで使用した方が便利です。 複数ページ欲しい人は別のメモアプリと併用した方がストレス無くメモ取れると思います。 ### 1/5 — Last update october 2021 *2021-10-24, version 2.4.0* After the last update it doesn’t work anymore! White screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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, version 4.0.0* 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 *2026-07-10, version 4.0.0* Yes ### 5/5 — The app I turn to daily to stay focused *2026-06-28, version 4.0.0* I love this app. It’s a minimalistic and intuitive note taking tool designed to record your thoughts quickly and with the least amount of effort.

In summary, this is an app well-designed to capture thoughts and ideas quickly and efficiently. ### 5/5 — Love This App! *2026-06-04, version 4.0.0* 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — 너무 좋은데 위젯설정만 변경부탁드려요 *2025-11-12* 위젯을 여러칸으로 두개 만들어놓고 싶은데 하나 고정이라 위젯 두개를 만들어도 같은 칸만 보이네요.. 수정부탁드려요ㅠ ### 5/5 — 위젯 왼쪽에 바 좀 없애주세요 *2025-11-12, version 2.9.0* 이거 좀 없애주세요 너무 거슬려요 ### 5/5 — 개발 방향은 기능 유지와 어플의 경량화로 갔으면 좋겠습니다 *2025-10-17* 더 좋은 기능이 있으면 좋지만 그런 어플은 널려있고 개발의 의미가 없다고 느꼈습니다. **Developer response:** 안녕하세요! 좋은 의견 감사합니다. 저희 또한 현재의 심플함을 유지하면서 잘 사용할 수 있도록 더 고민하고 개선해 나가도록 하겠습니다 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
