### 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.

### 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.-

### 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.

### 1/5 — does not work on ipad pro

*2021-12-10, version 1.5*

works fine on my iphone, so I know I’m using it correctly. But when I press edit to add a custom widget, nothing happens, (on my ipad).

### 1/5 — too buggy

*2021-10-22, version 1.5*

using it on my ipad pro 12.9 (2018), ios 15

### 3/5 — Nice idea

*2021-10-17, version 1.5*

This app has a lot of potential for me however the extra large widget doesn’t work. Had you included an email address in the add I would have messaged you directly.

### 4/5 — Issues with loading custom images in Pro…

*2021-09-25, version 1.5*

LOVE the app - loaded my first custom image and it worked… Every instance I tried uploading after only calls up the same blue screen on the widget/every widget size. Sometimes it recognizes a Scribblet I created (still wont load) - but other times nothing shows up. I really want to love this app - please help.

### 2/5 — Unable to use the text tool

*2021-08-21, version 1.4*

Everything else was good hopefully the text tool gets updated

### 1/5 — Does not show up for widget use

*2021-07-31, version 1.4*

Will not show up in widget screen. Does not work

### 4/5 — Sribble pro

*2021-06-13, version 1.3.1*

Hello i was very impressed with the app but then i ran into issues the next day. I go back into the app to continue customizing my ipad as i make more widget with the pro ver that i payed for everything started to not work i make a widget my other would disappear. So then i unstalled the app to re install now my pro ver is gone i try to restore purchase but i cant it wont allow me and im growing very frustrated with your app now.

### 3/5 — Bug please fix!

*2021-04-14, version 1.3.1*

When I have text and I have a drawing next to it, it comes out differently on the widget. Please fix! :)

Also, it would be great to have the option to watch an ad to have a one time background picture. Some of us don’t have the option to pay but it still creates some income for the owner of the app!

### 4/5 — So far, so good!

*2021-02-03, version 1.3.1*

I only just downloaded the app and already see the superior functionality of this compared to other “sticky” note apps available in the App store. 
PROS
• Widgets for the home screen in 3 sizes and more than one
• Typing AND drawing/writing using the full functionality of Apple’s native mark-up capabilities
• Choose ANY color for the note background. (Oh, golly, can’t say enough on how thrilled I am with that alone — not having to be forced into the limited and garish color choices in other apps). Upgrade if you want photos as your background. I don’t need those myself, but I’m tempted to upgrade just to thank the dev for making this! (Will do some more testing first ... ;o7)
• UNDO works using my external keyboard!!! Cmd+Z — yeah! (So many force you to only use the eraser to remove unwanted scribbles) — I’m in heaven with this app so far!

CONS
If there are any, I’ll come back and edit ... none so far.

Ok, I found one ... If you add more typed text than fits in the square space of the note, it doesn’t show up (i.e., the note doesn’t “auto-show” the extra text. You would have to open the note, click the “Aa” icon, tap into the note and use the arrow keys to see more. Notes need a scroll bar, if there is a longer amount of text.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2026-04-28, version 1.5*

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

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2024-04-23, version 1.5*

You can create a widget, but you cannot add it to the screen as this program is not listed in the widget iOS menu!

### 1/5 — Problemas técnicos

*2023-12-11, version 1.5*

El widget, cuando lo editas, a veces deja de aparecer en la pantalla de inicio y se ve únicamente el cuadrado de widget pero en blanco. Necesita solución

### 1/5 — Beware!  Doesn’t Work!!!

*2022-11-12, version 1.5*

Because this app is flawed, DON’T BUY THE UPGRADE.  Using iPad Pro, the “Medium” and “Extra Large” sizes will not display.  Also, it will not use your photos as a background as stated in the description.  Deleted app and re-installed in an attempt to correct these flaws.  THE APP REQUIRED A NEW PURCHASE AND WILL NOT RE-INSTALL THE PURCHASE.  😠

### 1/5 — La App no se sincroniza

*2022-09-21, version 1.5*

La App no se sincroniza entre mis dispositivos y lo que guardo no se muestra. Ojalá arreglen pronto este desperfecto.

### 1/5 — Cant add something

*2022-02-15, version 1.5*

Scribblet isn’t in the showcase of apps where I can select a widget:(

### 1/5 — App does not work at all

*2022-02-01, version 1.5*

I create my own Large & Extra Large widgets and it’s constantly stuck on a blue screen. Nothing is displayed at all. I just updated to the newest iPadOS 15.1, too. Wonderful app, that doesn’t do anything.

### 5/5 — Scribble draw

*2025-04-26, version 1.5*

You can draw all you want

### 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.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2023-02-07, version 1.5*

Nailed it

### 5/5 — The app I’ve been looking for!

*2022-02-24, version 1.5*

This is the app for customizing your phone for creatives. I just started using it and I usually won’t rate one right away, but this one is impressive!

### 5/5 — Spot on

*2021-04-22, version 1.3.1*

Nice clean interface. Just the right features with no silly whistles and bells. No annoying ads. Free version does a great job bug only fair to make the in-app purchase to pay the developer. This is a cheap one time purchase rather than a recurring fee that some developers charge for no good reason.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing App!!!

*2021-03-16, version 1.3.1*

I looooove the fact that I can personalize my own widgets! They can say what I want them to, when I want them too! Amazing. 

Only downside is that, I am not able to correctly size my backgrounds and when I do add wording, it doesn’t allow me the opportunity to adjust the wording so that it can all show. 

Now I could be wrong and just haven’t figured it out yet. But I doubt it.

### 5/5 — This is great!

*2020-11-29, version 1.1.2*

It’s a cool way to see your notes or whatever you want as a widget. Nice backgrounds too!

### 5/5 — Really Impressed!

*2020-10-12, version 1.1.2*

This is fabulous! Simple, useful, clean and just gets the job done. Great work!

Maybe one idea. I sometimes find myself trying to pinch-zoom in editing mode to fix a hand-writing error etc. I wouldn’t be upset if that jumped in someday.

One other suggestion. When I tap on the widget I would love to go directly to that specific canvas instead of going to the menu and then choosing the widget. If I want the menu I could just open the app directly instead. Just an idea. 

Other than that, I seriously can’t think of a development roadmap or things I’m looking for. Just a super useful app. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Absolutely Love It!!

*2020-10-10, version 1.1.2*

Awesome job Becky!

I want an iPad just to be able to use this and replace the millions of sticky notes everywhere on my desk!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-10-09, version 1.1.2*

Very easy to use and an interesting way to customise the Home Screen
