### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-08-13*

It’s fine except that once you have placed your sticky notes where you want them, the app takes it upon itself to reposition them on a different screen and you have to position them all over again.  Every time. I have a dozen notes or more sticky notes open at any one time.  You can imagine how tiresome this becomes…I hope the developer can address this issue, because, for me, it makes it unviable.

### 4/5 — Desktop Note

*2026-08-13*

Très pratique à l’écran !!!

### 1/5 — Would not Recommend

*2026-08-08, version 13.3.3*

This will crash and everything on your note is not autosaved, it is just gone.  I wanted the note to save the info, not to loose it.

### 4/5 — Testing Period

*2026-07-29*

So far so good: I just downloaded this sticky note desktop app and it has been the easiest one so far. But I am new to it so, I will get back to you after more testing. I downloaded it based on the way the app icon looked; it seemed colorful and simple and cute and those things are important to me.

### 5/5 — I love it!

J’ai cherché longtemps…Ou trop simple, ou trop cher. J’ai trouvé dans ce petit progiciel un outils convivial, rapide et pas complexe. Pour faire rapidement un post-it sur le bureau, sincèrement je n’ai pas trouvé mieux. Merci aux dev’s pour ce petit logiciel qui rempli bien son rôle

### 1/5 — useless

### 5/5 — 有安卓鸿蒙Mac吗，快开发一下，付费买
