### 5/5 — Development

*2026-08-08*

It’s been a year since last being updated. The widgets are no longer working, basically blank on iOS 26, Is the app no longer being maintained? The app was simple and very useful, hopefully an update will come.

Update,  it’s back glad to see the app being updated and maintained. Five stars.

### 5/5 — Hi Sticky is best of the best!

*2026-07-30*

I spent hours testing every sticky note app in the App Store looking for the perfect one - this one tops them all! Changes to any note update instantly in the widget and sync flawlessly across all devices. Widgets can show specific notes or instantly switch automatically to the most recently updated one. Notes in the note library are easy to navigate. There are many eye-catching options for colors and fonts, plus lots of other features.  This is the best app for anyone who wants reminders, thoughts, or notetaking always in mind and at your fingertips.

### 5/5 — Still being updated

### 5/5 — 노트 축소 기능

*2025-07-03*

여러 스티키 노트 앱처럼, 맥에서 노트 창을 축소하여 제목만 표시 또는 노트 아이콘만 표시 하는 기능이 있다면 활용도가 높아질 것 같습니다. 해당 기능이 없어서 타 메모앱과 쓰임이 다르지 않아 아쉽습니다.

### 3/5 — Viewing notes on watch hit or miss

*2025-03-07*

I liked the app, but the main reason I downloaded was to view notes on apple watch that I took on iPhone.  Unfortunately, it was hit or miss experience.  Some notes could be seen on watch, some couldn’t.  Ended up deleting it.

### 5/5 — Einfach & Schnell

*2025-02-09*

Die App funktioniert gut. Sie ist stabil, schnell fokussiert sich auf das Wesentliche.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-01-20, version 2.7.1*

### 5/5 — Eine Riesen Empfehlung wert

Spitzen App und einfachst gehalten. Genau das was ich mir schon immer gewünscht habe . Text festhalten auf dem Mac und er ist auf allen Geräten vorhanden. 👍 Danke dafür an den Entwickler.
