### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-01-20*

I really really like this app, but I would like to know if the developer is still going to update it or not? Thank you.

### 1/5 — Huh!

*2024-01-07, version 2.0.4*

Nothing but a solid black screen. No instructions, settings, or anything at all. I looked in my phone settings, but nothing helpful there. I'm not even sure what this app is supposed to do.

### 1/5 — Usual Apple Crap Doesn’t work…fonts too small and I can’t figure out how to adjust font

*2022-03-04, version 2.0.4*

and it’s unreadable most of the time

### 4/5 — Klipped

*2021-10-30, version 2.0.4*

I’d give this handy gadget 5 stars if I could only figure out how to use it. There aren’t any settings or instructions? I would absolutely love to use it. I’ve tried everything I know of to find settings or some way to use it properly.

### 5/5 — Very Convenient! Love it!

*2021-10-29, version 2.0.4*

Easy go to app for a note, phone number, grocery item or a quick thought. I’ve tried many apps for such ease of use but nothing is better. It is a definite must have! Thank you developers!

### 5/5 — Greatness in simplicity

*2021-10-29, version 2.0.4*

Delivers what promises !!! 
I needed something not overcrowded with buttons. Don't forget to check out the program's options in your phone's settings page.

### 4/5 — Tiny but good

*2021-10-29, version 2.0.4*

Practical But the font is too small on my iPhone XR

### 2/5 — Simple but…

*2021-10-02, version 2.0.4*

The font size is quite small for old eyes.  Simple but not so functional.  Might be nice to print.

### 4/5 — Useful simple app.

*2021-10-02, version 2.0.4*

Would be great if syncing was added.

### 1/5 — Might be useful if...

*2021-09-30, version 2.0.4*

The text is almost microscopic; I'd need to hold a magnifying glass in one hand and type with the other. :(

DELETED NOW!!!
