### 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

### 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.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t open or update

*2022-01-14, version 1.3.2*

The app worked the first couple of days, i could open the app, update the widget, see what the other ppl updated it as and everything, but the past few days the app is basically useless. I can’t open the app and it just shows a black screen for a split second and closes again. Also it doesn’t let me see the updated widget without opening the app and I can’t do that. It seems the only way to get it to work is to delete the app and download it again but it only works for abt 2 minutes and it goes back to not working pls fix this 😢😢

### 3/5 — Great App

*2022-01-14, version 1.3.2*

Overall the idea is great. But every time I try to open the app it crashes and when I am able to open it and update it, it doesn’t update unless everyone opens the app. Would like to have a history of pictures to see incase it’s updated before seeing the pictures.

### 3/5 — Bugged

*2022-01-11, version 1.3.2*

Updates slow

### 3/5 — Works sometimes….

*2021-12-25, version 1.3.2*

Hey Dev if you are listening I love the concept but it doesn’t refresh on other phones unless they tap the widget to open the app. Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to get them to update better on each phone?

### 3/5 — Slowness in the update

*2021-08-18*

Like the concept. But if we edit something, it's not getting reflect in the connected device unless they open the app twice or thrice. Which isn’t serving the purpose. Please fix it.

### 3/5 — 使えなくなりました

*2021-02-10*

1 ヶ月くらい前までは通常に使えてとても便利だったのですがある日急に英語で「ログインが必要ですmagnetsを使用するには設定でiCloudアカウントにログインしてください」(直訳)と表示されるのですがiCloudアカウントにはログイン済みで何度アプリを消してもネットで調べても解決法が見つかりませんでした。
解決法を知っている方がいれば教えて頂きたいです

### 2/5 — Not updating

*2020-12-02, version 1.2.1*

Fun idea but not working. Good for sharing events with my Mom. But it’s not updating. 
Using newest iOS.

### 1/5 — Always loading

*2020-11-25, version 1.2.1*

The app is amazing and it was working perfectly until a couple days ago I went to open the app and it just showed a loading screen. I’ve waited a good 10 minutes but all I got was loading. I really love this app but it’s a shame it won’t let me use it anymore:(

### 3/5 — Sync unreliable

*2020-11-06*

It only syncs when you tap on the widget, but not automatically. Otherwise nice idea

### 2/5 — Error.

*2020-10-16, version 1.2.1*

Every time I try and share I get a quota exceeded error. Pretty much useless.

### 1/5 — Enttäuschung

*2024-09-14*

Sehr gute Idee aber leider den app funktioniert gaaar nicht !! 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 !!

### 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.

### 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 ?

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2022-01-17, version 1.3.2*

It works fine for a bit but then when you wanna go to change it to something else it won’t even let you open the app keeps crashing, i’m still kind of waiting for them to update it fix all this bugs it has the potential to be a good app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-01-13, version 1.3.2*

I have to un and re download over& over as after a few days it stops working again

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2021-11-15, version 1.3.2*

Whenever I try to open the app it’s crashing! Please try to fix it.

### 1/5 — Last update kill the app

*2021-04-17, version 1.3.1*

Is a great app when it works, last update simply kill the app... magnets just stop showing

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-01-26*

Great app that is fully based on apple apis, so I’m sure my data is safe 😍

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2021-11-18, version 1.3.2*

We absolutely love this app. My husband loves being able to see new pics of our lil boy when he’s at work. And it’s so easy to use.

Is there any chance of getting an android version of this app so we can use it with the grandparents too? They would LOVE it but they don’t have iPhones.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2021-11-05, version 1.3.2*

I love this app 😁

### 5/5 — Wirklich tolle

*2020-11-02*

Idee

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-10-15, version 1.2.1*

Great app!  Can you add support for the share sheet so we set the magnet directly from photos app?

### 5/5 — Great idea that can even be better

*2020-10-11, version 1.2.1*

This works as advertised. One feature that would make it better is if there could be more than one photo that changes in the widget, similar to a photo frame.

### 5/5 — Bug in this release

*2020-10-08*

Hi developer

Great concept but you cannot search for any photos, people or places as as soon as you hit the search bar it reverts back to previous menu making this option currently useless. Still 5 star review and hope you can fix this bug on the next release :)

### 5/5 — Lots of potential!

*2020-10-08, version 1.1.0*

Would love to see an album option that allows photos to rotate. Maybe some kind of markup option too.

### 4/5 — Nice

*2021-05-17*

Funny little app to show something to others. 
Updating automatically sometimes takes a while, but it’ll update eventually. 
Big plus is data not being collected. Wouldn’t have tried the app otherwise, very nice.

### 4/5 — Good idea...

*2020-11-03*

...but the sync is not really reliable. The widget is not updating.
