### 1/5 — Pointless

*2026-04-28, version 1.5*

The widgets don’t work. I wasted $2 buying the Pro

### 2/5 — Ehhh

*2026-04-05, version 1.5*

The stuff is pretty cool like you can create widgets, and you could put them on your iPhone, but the thing is this app kind of sucks because now I can’t put them on my phone. It’s so stupid that I’m pretty sure that’s the whole point of widgets.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2025-06-15, version 1.5*

Ok, for starters, i had high hopes for this app, but when I downloaded it, and tried it for myself, I was disappointed. You can’t even add text like it CLEARLY says you can on the fourth preview photo, SO MAYBE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. So maybe tell me that I’m dumb for not knowing how to do that, but I’m not gonna change my review💀

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-06-03, version 1.5*

At first, I loved this little app. The widgets were easy to make and apply and were so cute. HOWEVER, I purchased the pro version for 1.99 on Sunday, and it’s Tuesday and am being told I haven’t purchased it even though I’ve got the receipt. It won’t “restore purchase” after buying it. Also, the widgets only stay on the screen for a day or two before the widget turns into a “please press and hold to select widget to add” and when trying to add, the widget you made is no longer there.

### 5/5 — Scribble draw

*2025-04-26, version 1.5*

You can draw all you want

### 1/5 — BUG

*2025-03-17, version 1.5*

Descargue la app como recomendación, pero me veo muy decepcionado ya que al actualizar los post it en los widget no funciona. La idea de la conectividad del sistema nativo entre iPhone y IPad se ve entorpecida.

### 4/5 — Video

*2024-12-16, version 1.5*

Donde encuentro instructivo para usar esta aplicación

### 4/5 — Bug

*2024-10-15, version 1.5*

La app es genial, aun cuando se este usando de forma gratuita, pero presenta un bug en su uso como WIDGET, luego de modificar unas cuantas veces una nota no aparece lo escrito en el widget, cambias de notas y otras si aparecen. Y luego de algún tiempo vuelve a aparecer. Si reparan ese fallo es la mejor en su tipo.-

### 5/5 — Great app and suggestion

*2024-07-03, version 1.5*

First this app does exactly what it promises and is so clean and basic, which is exactly what I wanted. I am using it to write down my own motivational phrases to appear in a widget on my Home Screen. I know I could let another app produce motivational phrases, but I’d rather capture my own thoughts that I have through the day or especially when I wake up in the middle of the night and want to remember the next morning what I thought would be so important to guide the next day and this app lets me do that. It’s not a reminder to do something specific. It’s a reminder of how to approach the world. What is “the most important thing” as they say and, funny enough, the most important things can change depending on where I’m on any given day. Today that’s about nutrition but some other time it might be about some other change I’m embarking on or simply something already in place I’m trying to reinforce. My suggestion, it would be great if there was a way to deliberately rotate through scribbles or randomly rotate through scribbles so that should I want to have a collection of new scribbles throughout the day or just a new one every day that would be cool.  I mean, rotating through scribbles that I have written and saved.  Thank you for this app. It’s really nice and I wish you great success with all your endeavors. You seem like a really nice person.

### 3/5 — Problemas técnicos.

*2024-06-01, version 1.5*

La app promete, pero el widget no siempre se actualiza en la pantalla de inicio.
Ojalá lo solucionen.
