Schade Wenn ich versuche, die Notiz zu teilen, erscheint ein Text vor mir : Fehler beim Erstellen des Magnets Beim Erstellen des Magnets ist ein Fehler aufgetreten:: n. Du n und Partial Failure: Quota Exceeded (25) Das Gleiche gilt auch, wenn Sie einfach versuchen, einen Notiz ganz normal zu erstellen !! ### 3/5 — I like it but.. *2024-07-21, version 1.3.2* It’s simple, I like I use it as reminders on my screen when I open my phone but … when I want to “update” my message I wrote on the magnet it completely deletes everything and makes me start all over from the previous message I wrote on the magnet. That simple tweak would be very helpful ### 3/5 — Can’t see anyone option for widget on home screen *2024-06-06, version 1.3.2* Promising but unusable ### 1/5 — Not Working *2024-06-02, version 1.3.2* When I try to add a magnet to a widget, I get the error message “Partial Error: Quota Exceeded (25)” I’m able to add widgets to my home screen, but I can’t populate it since I have no magnets to select. ### 1/5 — Erro (quota exceeded) *2024-04-02* Não é possível compartilhar o widget! ### 1/5 — Was great, but has been abandoned *2023-06-11, version 1.3.2* I used this app with my S.O. All the time to add a bit of happiness to our home screens. However, it seems the app has been abandoned over the past year and seems like the max amount of calls for an API may have been reached since so many people are getting “Quota Exceeded” errors. This is a total shame because other apps like Locket do this same thing but harvest a lot of personal data and they are not very transparent about what they share. I enjoyed this widget because no data was collected, but I’m sad I can’t use it anymore. ### 1/5 — Failure Every Time I Try to Create My Own Magnet *2022-06-26, version 1.3.2* Every time I try to create my own magnet and hit invite friends, I get “Partial Failure: Quota Exceeded (25)” once I hit Ok and try again, it loads forever until I close the app, and then it repeats. If I tap “share later” instead, it does exactly the same thing. So I can’t use the app. ### 2/5 — quota exceeded *2022-02-07, version 1.3.2* just got the app about 5 minute ago and the second i try to share with friends, it immediately says partial failure: quota exceeded or just loads indefinitely. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-01-26* Great app that is fully based on apple apis, so I’m sure my data is safe 😍 ### 1/5 — Wont work *2022-01-22, version 1.3.2* Couldn’t even get to use the app because I couldn’t share it with anyone due to a message constantly popping up saying exceeded quota ? ## Frequently asked questions about Magnets ### What does Magnets do?
