Here's an annoying one: Still works only in landscape mode. Really? After all this time, I can only imagine that this must be someone's abandoned project. ### 3/5 — Good app... *2015-02-27, version 3.0* Very helpful app. I think it will be one I will use often. It is good but with a few additions, it could be great. It is easy to figure out how to use but wish we could type outside of a sticky note. I find the pencil feature is difficult and messy to use to write words. Being able to type text would be much clearer. It would also be helpful if the size and angle of the stickies could be changed. One other feature I wish was available was the ability to copy an entire note. I have a meal plan format set up and would love to able to just duplicate it for the next week and change the text. Thanks for such a useful app! ### 2/5 — Meh *2015-01-26, version 3.0* It works, technically, but feels flawed as lines are slow to draw and the app has an air of being incomplete. Nice idea. ### 4/5 — Enable icloud sync, please! *2014-07-22, version 2.5* Love this app and have recommended it to many people. If you could just add icloud capability to allow me to sync across multiple devides, it would be perfect! ### 2/5 — Needs improving *2014-04-12, version 2.5* The eraser requires excessive swiping to work. I think it must be very small. Maybe add the ability to change the eraser size. Deleting whole sheets is a drama. The help menu says to shake your ipad to bring up the delete menue. This is not ideal as it doesn't always work, and it feels silly to be shaking my ipad in front of colleagues. ### 4/5 — iBrainstorm *2014-03-06, version 2.5* A useful app. Agree with previous comments that more space would be an advantage. I like the idea of iPhones being able to push stickies to a central iPad. Are there plans to be able to interconnect several iPads? ### 3/5 — Great idea, but connecting devices is a pain *2014-01-15, version 2.5* Works well and we would love to use it more. We'd even pay for it... But the issues with connecting over wifi is a real issue, this bit is very flakey and often only works with 1 device. Sort of defeats the purpose really. With a little work, this could be great, but as it is, it's not good enough to use in practice. A shame really. ### 3/5 — Need some fixes *2013-11-14, version 2.5* You need to fix the eraser and make it better to erase. Also making writing a little better. Thanks but still a good app to us for school ### 2/5 — Great Idea, but... *2013-08-09, version 2.5* Love this creative idea but am frustrated with the instability. Constantly losing connection with participants. Please update soon! Agree that an option to delete entire page and/or larger swipes would be very helpful. ### 4/5 — nearly what I am looking for *2013-08-03, version 2.5* I got superexcited because I thought this was app I had been looking for for brainstorming my PhD chapter, and with a minor change, it would be exactly that. What I love: -the combination of sticky notes and writing -the possibility to share -easy emailing -handy colours -really nice design! What I hope might be changed: Would it be possible to make the background limitless space? For a lot of brainstorming, this is a rather limited surface to work on, especially since the notes are fixed size. The app would get five stars had it given me the workspace of the size of my desk, which is what attracts me to digital brainstorming in the first place (I have backs of envelopes larger than my ipad to brainstorm on when I need small surfaces). ### 3/5 — White background? *2013-07-24, version 2.5* Hi Is it possible to change the background colour? ### 2/5 — Nice concept, but... *2013-04-14, version 2.5* Please add a way to delete projects or a way to clear the space with a tap or two. An even bigger circular eraser would be nice. The management of the programming areas needs work. ### 3/5 — App *2013-03-24, version 2.5* Really enjoy the app but wish it could save to iCloud for connection to iPhone/IPad. Also doesn't save to camera like listed. ### 2/5 — nice app but.... *2012-12-23, version 2.5* ... you updated the app but failed to update it for retina display??? really? it is fuzzy... come on people. it is slightly unstable... like the first review, I have lost stickes. a BIT more functionality would make this much better... 1. iCloud and/or Dropbox sync 2. Apple TV display so I can share (this is a brainstorming tool) 3. retina quality graphics ### 3/5 — so and so *2012-12-21, version 2.5* lost half my sticky notes on next launch on a previous version, the latest version requires iOS 6 just 3 months after its out, really ? ### 3/5 — iOS 5 *2012-12-21, version 2.5* Please make a legacy version for iOS 5 so itunes stops bothering me with an update I can't have. ### 2/5 — Sticky Color? *2012-12-11, version 2.1* Still no fix for changing sticky color? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — We hated this stupid app 🤬 *2024-08-18, version 3.0* No space! ### 1/5 — Allow photos *2022-06-16, version 3.0* ALLOW PEOPLE TO PUT PHTOS INNNN! ### 1/5 — This made me sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 *2020-10-21, version 3.0* my mommy said that sad is bad cos fat rack s ### 1/5 — this is dog poop *2019-11-18, version 3.0* My mom dont let me get it it stinks like you. ### 1/5 — What is going on ?!!!!!!!!! *2017-11-29, version 3.0* It won’t even let me into the app! Is there something Rong ### 1/5 — Hi *2016-03-21, version 3.0* Very dissipointed ### 1/5 — Just terrible *2014-04-22, version 2.5* This ap - seems like a good idea, but it is hopeless. You can spend time creating an idea board - which in concept is great, but when you try to print it or email to others it is virtually impossible to read what has been printed - it is a blurred mess with font so small you can't read. Don't waste your time with this product. ### 1/5 — Good idea but waste of time... *2013-03-11, version 2.5* Installed, and deleted... The idea is good but the execution is poor. For a start, the first thing you want to do when starting using this app is writing on the board...the quality of hand-writing is terrible. The developers should have a look at other apps such as penultimate or Noteshelf to realize what the level of quality can and should be... ### 1/5 — There are far better apps out there *2013-01-12, version 2.5* Can't rest your hand on the pad and write, keeps adding sticky notes where I'm trying to write something, no undo, deleting impossible without shaking the pad… poorly thought out app, unusable, deleting. ### 1/5 — ms *2012-12-02, version 2.1* i loved this app on my ipad but on my new ipad i cannot get the note colour to change? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best brainstorming app *2019-11-10, version 3.0* This app is a life saver. Whenever outlines and mind map softwares end up overwhelming me more than helping me, I come to this app and in no time my ideas start taking shape. It’s a shame that the developer no longer seems to do any work on this app. It works well but it would be nice to have a new feature added every once in a while. I’d happily pay for it. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-02-22, version 3.0* Great app for learning and for work ### 5/5 — Wow *2013-03-13, version 2.5* Best app in the App Store love it ### 5/5 — Nice surprise *2012-04-26, version 2.1* Didn't quite expect this but it's fluid, fast and free. Nice to use, I can mix stylus with type quickly. Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2012-04-09, version 2.1* Love it so much it's good for my notes and projects I really never have to worry so cool if you have a iPad and you don't have this app then thats rank you need this really :-) and plus it's FREE ### 5/5 — Simple and lite *2012-02-29, version 2.1* Just the way it should be. Simple and lite for quick brainstorming while on the move or stuck in a public transport with time to spare. ### 5/5 — 간단하여 사용하기 좋음 *2011-05-24, version 2.1* 기본어플의 캘린더, 메모를 잘 쓰고 있지만 뭔가 할일을 기록 유지하는데 약간의 부족을 느끼던 차에 이 어플을 접하게 되었는데 추천을 100% 합니다. 그림도 그릴 수 있고 메모지를 붙일수도 있고 친필로 쓸 수도 있고 게다가 이메일을 보낼수도 있다. 나의 메일로 보내어 볼 수 있어 스스로에게 격려의 글도 보내어 보곤한다. ### 5/5 — This is iPad computing *2011-02-11* This app allows for brainstorming, mind-mapping and planning out of ideas - but with a twist - the iPad app has a companion iPhone/iPod touch app where you can write sticky notes and then flick them with you finger over to the iPad iBrainstorm work space. So in a class, you could have the master iBrainstorm planning space being projected onto a big screen via the apps VGA out support, with 4 students representing 4 small groups writing sticky notes summarising a topic the groups are investigating 'flicking' the sticky notes to the iPad where another student arranges them, with the whole process appearing live on the big screen. Oh, did I mention its free?! ### 5/5 — 단순한 브레인스토밍 어플! *2010-10-30, version 0* 브레인스토밍을 하는데 있어서 복잡힌 UI는 질색이었는데, 이건 UI도 단순하고 너무 좋네요!!! ㅎㅎㅎ 브레인스토밍 보드를 하나만 지원한다는 게 단점 중 단점이기는 하지만, 이거 덕분에 단순해져서 좋긴 합니다. ### 5/5 — Love it *2010-10-04, version 0* Simple and easy to use and looks good too plus it's free! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
