### 4/5 — Great app, but lifetime pricing is outrageous and I’m not paying a sub for a simple note app

*2026-07-27, version 6.0.1*

Please fix lifetime pricing.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-07-23, version 6.0*

Best sticky notes app I’ve used yet!! Get it you won’t regret it!!

### 5/5 — Top für schnelle Memos

*2026-07-23*

Superpraktisch für die kleine Notiz zwischendurch, verwende ich täglich. Jetzt mit Ordnern!

### 5/5 — More than meets the eye

*2026-06-16, version 5.3.6*

This app does just what you need and more than you realize. 

It puts notes, reminders, lists, and anything else in text in any and all the places you need them:

- Dropping down from your Mac menu bar
- Stacked like cards on your iPhone pages using widget stacks
- Getting your attention like sticky notes on your screens and side panel and lockscreen
- Popping up from the keyboard, ready to paste into whatever however many times
- Lined up in the app, sortable by name or icon or folder or date

Once you get it, like, I mean really get it - you start to realize you don’t really need some of the apps you thought you needed to keep your notes where you want them. 

Do you have a somatic calming process or quick breathing routine you need at your fingertips?

Need a high-level overview of each of your projects to swipe through?

How about flashcards in the side panel for the language you are learning? 

Or keyboard shortcuts just a click away on your Mac? 

Got any snippets of code or commentary that you paste in a lot? Just quickly change the keyboard and find your cheat. 

Simple text to do list that you can add to as the day goes on? I like to keep one in the side bar. 

The thing is, Cheatsheets kind of merges your mind with your phone and other devices, changing them from distractions into guides, capture tools, and sources of inspiration.

### 5/5 — Sehr gut 👍

*2026-03-23*

Ich muss diese App wirklich mal loben. Ich benutze sie schon länger und sie hat mich noch nie enttäuscht. Die beste und schnellste Art nützliche Informationen auf seine Watch zu bekommen. Sehr empfehlenswert🙋🏼‍♂️

### 5/5 — Deeplinks & special characters

*2026-03-11, version 5.3.4*

➊ Deeplinks 
—Really wish there was a way copy a deeplink to specific memos in Cheatsheet so it would be easier to reference and open them from another app in Cheatsheet app from elsewhere on my iPhone and Mac such as from  Notes for example. 

➋ More unicode type characters please 
—Issues with some unicode type characters found in UniChar.

### 2/5 — Idee gut, sync schlecht

*2026-03-09*

Ich finde die idee gut, allerdings klappt der sync nur sehr schlecht. Ich habe auf ipad und iphone gerade ein wenig hin und her gewechselt und vor allem einträge geändert. Das kommt dann nicht automatisch auf den geräten an, jedes geräte behält erst einmal seinen eigenen stand. Erst nach einem manuellen sync hat es dann geklappt, dass dürfte aber nicht der sinn der sache sein.

**Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback! Die iCloud-Synchronisierung sollte automatisch funktionieren, also senden Sie bitte eine E-Mail an adam@overdesigned.net, damit ich Ihnen direkt helfen kann. Danke!

### 5/5 — Für Spruch des Tages

*2026-03-05*

Prima App. Ich nutze die kostenlose Version, um mir den Spruch des Tages auf dem Homescreen anzeigen zu lassen. Funktioniert hervorragend. Ich positiven Sinne eine einfache App.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-02-26, version 5.3.4*

Great for remembering addresses, licenses plates, phone number, and wife’s sizes.

### 5/5 — 이 앱

*2026-02-22*

진짜 좋음요 오래 쓰고 있는데 넘 좋네요 구독형도 아니고 일회성이라 더 좋아요 돈 안아까움 잘 쓰고 있습미다
영원히 유지되길!!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant idea, fantastic execution!

*2026-02-11*

Simplicity in its purest form, yet fully functional and helpful app. I love it. In just minutes, it became one of those apps I have widget and complication on top of my lists. I use it for tons of things, especially for info needed during the day, which starts, so I don't have to open separate apps every time I need something.

### 5/5 — Great for quick reference

*2026-02-10, version 5.3.2*

I prefer this over Apple Notes for quick reference sort of entries. Like if I’m traveling and want to be able to quickly get the address where I’m staying and reference the door code, this app makes it just a tap away. I also use it for tracking what I’m doing in video games so when I pick it back up tomorrow or next week, I remember what I was in the middle of. Using the Home Screen widget is what makes all this so fast to access. I also have it for Mac because I find it useful to access and edit on both, but mostly use it on iOS.

### 4/5 — Curious...

*2026-02-08, version 5.3.2*

Still enjoying the app. Wish I could add photo’s and could use folders inside folders to contain lists and be counted

### 5/5 — OSの新機能に直ぐに対応

*2026-02-03*

iOS26への早期対応や、Apple Watch対応、ウィジェット、最新のOSならではの機能に素早く対応し、こまめにアップデートしてくれる開発者に感謝。
・定型文で時短、タイパ最高アプリ。
・AIの定型プロンプト保存
・フリマやオークションの定型文保存
・メールやビジネスフォーマットの定型文
に使用してます。

### 2/5 — Recent issue with old phones, still happening

*2026-01-30*

Original review:
my older iPhone runs out of RAM, the app shows a subscribe popup every 3rd time I open the app.
It’s probably not an issue on people with the latest phones, but feel like I’m being punished on older hardware.

Update devs said it should be fixed? But I got the “start free trial” popup again. It happens when the phone runs out of memory, and the app closes by itself in the background. Please look into it.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this! It should be fixed in the latest update. If you’re still seeing the problem, please email adam@overdesigned.net and let me know. Otherwise I hope the fix brings the app back up to 5 stars for you. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Keeps my head screwed on straight

*2026-01-03, version 5.3.2*

Great app for quick reference.

### 5/5 — A brilliant little app

*2025-12-28*

I use this little app almost daily for key locker combinations, pin numbers, passwords you name it, especially things that change frequently. I enter info on my iPhone and access it via my Apple Watch, so easy. I now change pin numbers and passwords more often with no fear that I might forget them. PS you can now check privacy details on all apps in the store.

### 1/5 — 画像を添付するだけのために年間500円

*2026-07-24*

「レガシー」では使えない機能のアイコンは目障りなので非表示にしてほしい。画像を添付するだけのために年間500円かかるならiOSのメモで十分。サブスクで永久徴収したいならもっと便利な機能を付けるべき。

**Developer response:** フィードバックありがとうございます！ウィジェットからデータが見つからない場合は、アプリの設定に移動し、ウィジェットキャッシュのリセットを選択してください。これは iCloud の問題でもある可能性があります。Adam@overdesigned.netにメールしてください。同期データをリセットする方法をご案内します。ありがとう！

### 1/5 — No way to change theming or colours

*2026-05-02*

Will such features be introduced?

### 1/5 — 検索できない

*2025-12-20, version 5.3.2*

ウィジェットを追加する際に存在するメモが検索されない。通常の検索でも出てこないメモがある。相変わらず不具合が多くて信頼できない。
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
アイコンが「❤️ハート」のように表記されてるけど、アイコンなんだから見ればわかるのになぜわざわざ「ハート」と文字で表記する必要があるのか。
そもそも、アイコンを付けたメモを検索できないなら意味がない。
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
また、iPhone 2台とiPadで使用しているけど、相変わらず同期が信用できない。各デバイスのアプリで
「iCloud Sync ✔️」になっていても、一部のメモが同期されていなくて、手動で同期したら古いメモに戻ってしまうので、常に確認する必要がある。
重要なメモには使えず、忘備録のようなものをウィジェットで表示する程度にしか使えない。
同期の日時と手動同期のボタンを上部に付けてほしい。

### 1/5 — randomly deleting cheats

*2025-12-07, version 5.3.2*

i love the app but it just randomly deletes some of the cheats occasionally?? they arent even in the deleted folder they just disappear completely

### 1/5 — Recent update punishes people with old phones

*2025-11-24, version 5.3.2*

I don’t like the fact when my older iPhone runs out of RAM, the app shows a subscribe popup every 3rd time I open the app.
It’s probably not an issue on people with the latest phones, but why punish those on older hardware.

### 1/5 — Ads automatically added as reminders

*2025-08-29, version 5.2.3*

If you do not buy Cheatsheet pro, it will add “buy Cheatsheet pro” as a permanent reminder on your list. It even shows up on the widget. Seriously insane. Immediately deleted.

### 1/5 — Ajouter une illustration

*2025-07-29*

Serait-il possible d’ajouter la possibilité d’illustrer une note avec une photo. Merci d’avance.

**Developer response:** Désolé d'entendre ça! Veuillez m'envoyer un courriel à adam@overdesigned.net afin que je puisse vous aider.

Sorry to hear this! Please email me at adam@overdesigned.net so I can help you out.

### 1/5 — sync messed up my data

*2025-05-19*

Downgrading from awesome to pain in my neck because iCloud sync failed spectacularly. After failing to sync, it then replaced my latest copy on my desktop with an old version from my phone, so I lost all the work I put into carefully organizing things. As funky as iCloud sync is, there should have been safeguards in place to prevent this! There wasn't even an "are you sure? this will replace x with y" message to give me a chance. Also, there's no backup or export feature, so I couldn't save my work before syncing. I just had to roll the dice, which clearly didn't work in my favor. Now looking for an alternative with syncing that's been stress-tested and won't erase all my information every time icloud hiccups.

**Developer response:** Please email adam@overdesigned.net as soon as possible so I can help you work through this. There are automatic backups on both platforms (see Settings in the iOS app and the File menu on Mac) so we can hopefully restore everything. It also sounds like we need to reset the iCloud data, so please email me, thank you!

### 1/5 — Перестал работать виджет

*2025-05-08*

Перестал работать виджет на экране блокировки(

**Developer response:** Пожалуйста, попробуйте перезагрузить устройство. Если это не поможет, пожалуйста, напишите по адресу adam@overdesigned.net — в противном случае я надеюсь, что приложение вернет вам 5 звезд!

### 1/5 — The app keeps crashing

*2025-04-05, version 5.1*

I am trying to open the app on my watch, says “syncing” and then crashes.

☆+☆)/ｻｲｯｺｰ

### 5/5 — Good for memos, lists et cetera

*2026-08-23, version 6.1.1*

Surprising that with so many Notes apps available there is space for another but this really hits the spot with its minimalist ux and attention grabbing red and white icons

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-19, version 6.1.1*

I make great use of this app on both my iPhone and iWatch. 
Fantastic support from Adam, the developer, and I can highly recommend this.

### 5/5 — Awesome, Great App!!

*2026-08-19, version 6.1*

Love it, Thanks ❤️❤️Use it all the time!! Would be lost without this App!!!

### 5/5 — I love this

*2026-08-19*

This is what I wanted. Sweet and simple. 👍

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-18, version 6.1*

Best sticky notes app I’ve used yet!! Get it you won’t regret it!!

### 5/5 — 私の使い方

*2026-08-13*

スケジュール表のサブとして、ざっくりした未来の予定に利用しています 数字アイコンは曜日にして利用♡

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-12*

Excellent app, the headings and folders make it better than the majority of note apps. I hate organising with tags. I use on a daily basis. Watch and Mac apps a real bonus. Very reasonably priced too. Similar apps charge a subscription. 
Only comment I’d make is the name is not too good! It needs ‘Notes’ in it somewhere!

### 5/5 — Indespensible app

*2026-08-01*

This has always been a great little app. It’s super handy to quickly be able to access a whole range of useful little bits of information that you Rely on regularly. The latest update makes it even more powerful with the ability to add images, which is something I’ve been waiting for for sometime - well worth the subscription.

### 5/5 — Very useful little utility

*2026-07-27*

This is a very helpful and high quality app that keeps important information such as notes, codes, passwords etc in accessible locations on your iPhone or Apple Watch. There are myriad uses and it is one of the apps I use the most. 

It was recently updated to include images and files which is a terrific improvement. The developer is helpful and prompt at troubleshooting issues. Highly recommended.
