So much potential. Fix the bugs

I use this app for my creative productivity & jotting down ideas. For some reason everything I have been noting down on a particular note for the past week disappeared. Lots of great ideas I can't recall now

App is unreliable. Look elsewhere

Checkboxes don’t work

When I click on them, nothing happens. Would appreciate fixing that, because that’s an essential thing! ✌🏽

Junk

There is no direction on how to get the note on your home screen. That is all I wanted it for.

Would Be Great with a Few Tweaks

URL’s don’t display correctly and add additional font formatting enhancements and you’ve got a winner.

Do NOT buy

They claim the app synced across devices and does not! There web site doesn’t work. They have no customer service. I want my $ back but have no where to go. Terrible company.

No sync. Premium has no benefits.

Sync not working. Paid for premium, got iOS and Mac apps, no sync between them, but have iCloud sync active. Support on reddit has zero responses to 99% of issues. Looks like money down the drain.

thanks!

Good now!

Functionally it’s pretty cool. However, try to switch from the one provided by Apple and you’ll see the difference in quality, not in a good way. The fidelity of the fonts looks visually wrong. It makes the several custom fonts that I have look indistinguishable from Time New Roman and the problem isn’t fixed by scaling the text. So... there you go.

No frills

I love Apple Notes but decided to give other notes app a try after the latest update still missing stuff that’s increasingly important for me such as Markdown support. Glad to have found Memo a while ago. Supporting Markdown aside, the app is easy to pick up and sync across my phone and Mac. Just started the subscription trial for the premium version and we will see how that goes.

Charge what you want but let me try it

So I downloaded this and tried to create my first note. I type 3 letters and a full screen pop over appears telling me to subscribe. DELETE

Almost perfect

Memo is really easy to use. With Evernote, I had to Google up for tutorials and watch YouTube videos to figure out simple stuff. Super frustrating. With memo, most things that I use for quick note-taking is available right there. I probably spent only a couple of hours max to figure all things at at first. It will be 10/10 if you could add a dark theme to it or something for low light because I use it a lot by the bed at night to plan for the next day.

Nope

Sheer basic and silly functionality. But worse than that, some less than appropriate subscription prompting and process. Do not download this app.

BEWARE - will steal your subscription

UPDATE: Be careful, as it looks as if they’ll take your money even if you sign for the “Trial” and then you cancel the subscription!
This is what I did - after realizing it was useless (see my original review below) I immediately canceled my subscription, only to see the first month’s charge on my c/card.

I recommend you avoid this app at all costs.


While I really don’t have a problem with a paid subscription (as the “less mature” reviewers here seem to: how do you guys think developers can make a living if you don’t pay for apps?) my real issue is that apps ought to be thoroughly tested before being sold.

This one clearly wasn’t.

Markdown support is extremely limited, and very buggy: this was the main reason for me to purchase it (Apple Notes works just fine, but its ability to format sections of text in code/monospace is non-existent) and being able to write MD notes was a major selling point for me.

Well, sadly, this only half-works, and it’s too cumbersome to be usable; especially inserting ‘code blocks’ (``` ... ```) is really buggy and they try too hard to make it “self-detect” when the code section ends, so as to make it unusable.

If, and when, they fix this, I’ll be happy to re-consider it.

$9.99 Annually??

Why pay a subscription price for this when you can get the same for free out of Google Keep? Subscriptions for simple apps like this need to stop. A one time charge I can see, but it’s not like your writing the best note taking app in the world.

Straightforward and dead-simple note-taking in the cloud

I don’t think you are able to find another notes app that let you write, attach files and pictures to notes as easily as Memo. Need more than just plain text? Format it with Markdown. Want to categorize the notes? Give them different colors. Want to sync it across phone and laptop? Set up iCloud sync once and forget it. I’m hooked and I think you’d too.

App less functional than Apple Notes

Be careful if you download this app just to peek at it. I got charged the $.99 despite there being a 7 day trial period, and it started a subscription. Apple reversed the charge. There is no folder hierarchy in this app. It is a single list of multiple notes, and searching them probably works is you have hundreds in your list. For me, Apple Notes just seemed easier to use and searching is good. App deleted.

Sticky Notes?

I thought this app would allow quick pop up sticky note to jot down a note - stay visible on my ipad screen - like the old sticky notes on Mac - Implied but not the case at least as far as I can figure out.

For quick text notes I’ll just stick with SimpleNote which I’ve used for years! More than that - Drafts or Apple Notes.

No place to sync. Nil support.

Nil support. Paid for trial to Premium and there is no syncing to my Macbook from my iPhone or vice versa. There isn't even a log in on the phone app. Support is non-existent. Great concept, but it isn't happening. Rip off. I would ask for my money back if I could figure who to ask.

Response from developer

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Please contact our support platform here memostickynotes.com so that we can further diagnose the issues.

Pretty but....

The app looks good but there isn’t much special about it. It’s simple but not worth a subscription. As soon as I opened the app it begged me to subscribe and my phone begged me to delete this waste of space. Don’t waste your space or time or money or finger strength or brain activity or anything on this app. 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will try to improve the app in the future releases.

Hmm... 🤔

I tried to like it but within minutes of installing it, I deleted it. Why? Because there is no support for folders (like the native iOS Notes app has). I like to organize my notes into appropriate folders. Not sure if I saw a search function the app.

Simple stickie-note app and a reasonable price.

Most of the reviews on here are either complaining about the price and/or are filled with tons of exclamation points and all-caps (which, as a general internet rule, is a huge red flag). The app is a simple, easy sticky-note app that can sync to other computers and iPhones (hoping iPad is in the works), which some nice customization offers.

As simple as it is, there doesn’t seem to be another app like it. I don’t think any other notes app that has a sticky-notes feel with crops-platform sync options. Notes are customizable, but doesn’t offer a boat load of options that could paralyze the workflow. There are some bugs, but it’s brand new. I’m confident they’ll squash them.

The price is $.99 per month or $10 for a while year, which can easily be saved if you stopped buying coffee out every day and made some at home. Not every company has the luxury of working for free, and a buck per month isn’t asking much. The reason for the missing star is that all apple would have to do is allow stickies.app to sync over iCloud for it to damage the price point.
