### 2/5 — so close

*2023-06-27*

i have been looking for a replacement for the sticky notebook app. this was nearly perfect, but for 2 things

1, is there any way to delete notes and get your ten back? i would be happy to pay, but not for every sticky note, including ones i made accidentally

2, when adding photos, they dont match how i cropped the image. so if i take a screenshot and crop it, your app will display it as though i only partially cropped it

### 1/5 — Delegating this useless stupid app.

*2021-06-11*

So sick off this app. Most difficult to use. They sell notes you don’t need to buy them, they duplicate on their own, by pinning or protecting them. When they duplicate they are added to other lists and creates quite a mess to your other lists. The contacts for support don’t exist unless you leave a review.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using this app for over a year.
The two features "Stable" and "Shared", you denied are the  key features of this app. You can  select a function in  the menu displayed by tapping or long-pressing on notes. Very easy!  Basically operations are described in App Store. You can also send Bug-Report via Information Gadget in this app.
The following old answer on 2020-05-20
Thank you for your opiniion.
First of all, this app run on the iPad only. 
The "note" is consumable item.
So if you delete the unneccesary note, it is justly gone.
This is right behavior.
We have no merits to have the same specifications as other apps, because we design  the app with our own phylosophy.

We described as follows in App Description on App Store.
"If there are less than 10 notes left, the app will automatically refill notes to 10 at midnight."
So you can use this app free continuously, if the number of notes created in a day is  less than 10.
