### 4/5 — 사용 너무 편해요!

*2026-08-25*

아이패드랑 아이폰은 동기화가 안되나요???? 사용 편한 것 같아 결제했는데 폰이랑 연동이 안되는 것 같애요

### 2/5 — App

*2026-08-19, version 3.9.3*

Dissapointingly hard to use and seemingly useless without paying

### 3/5 — 아이클라우드 동기화 실패

*2026-08-17*

포스트잇 앱 내 모든 설정이 같은데 아이패드에서는 아이클라우드 동기화가 되고 아이폰에서는 동기화가 실패합니다. 아이폰 아이클라우드 동기화 설정 방법 알려주세요

### 2/5 — A Shocking Deal-Breaker

*2026-06-07*

EDIT: The app was updated two days ago to 3.9 - the annoying daily notifications STILL cannot be turned off without losing legit reminders. … Original review: It’s ridiculous that this app sends “reminder” notifications to write a new note, or setup a widget, etc. and — you cannot turn them off (!). Even becoming a premium user does not give you the ability to turn off these notifications without turning off ALL notifications (which would mean no legitimate reminders you set for yourself).

Support was speedy, to their credit, in getting back to me. They said that there will be an update to allow you to turn these off. That was three and a half weeks ago and there’s been no such update as of yet. This is a deal-breaker for me as these things just go off randomly and are annoying time-wasters. Something this intrusive without a toggle off is truly a mind scratching design flaw on their part. It’s an otherwise fine app, but as it is, it’s unusable for me.

### 3/5 — Good app, but annoying too

*2026-06-04, version 3.8.1*

You should be able to decline notifications right away. Not sure the point of all of those notifications either

### 2/5 — …

*2026-06-03*

Вроде заметки хорошие, интересные, но слишком дорогие, для заметок 449₽ в месяц это как-то слишком дорого, лучше сделали бы дешевле, я предпочитаю хотя-бы 100₽ в месяц, или хотя-бы  разовую покупку не более 2000₽. Вообщем такими темпами не мы пользы получим, и не вы денег не заработаете.

### 2/5 — •••

*2026-05-31*

Почти все функции платные, у меня Apple Watch на watchOS 10, свои заметки apple на них не доступны поэтому искал заметки,

### 4/5 — I keep coming back to this app

*2026-05-22, version 3.8.1*

I really like the features of this app. Only things I’d change would be to:
1. have the option of a rectangular widget for the normal notes.
2. Do away with the quotes feature entirely. I’ve never had much purpose for it.

### 3/5 — Not a free app overall

*2026-05-09, version 3.8.1*

The app was working fine was helping with keeping everything organized and I could see my reminders on my screen as a sticky note then all of a sudden out of nowhere, it stopped letting me add or create a new list. Then it asked to pay for a subscription to continue using.

### 2/5 — Slide to open next mdg

*2026-04-27, version 3.8.0*

I don't particularly appreciate that I must open every message to see what it is. Plus, it would be helpful to slide the file instead of closing each one to open a new one. I want TITLES. Printing large font doesn't help.

### 1/5 — No free version

*2026-08-16, version 3.9.3*

Why do I need to download the app to find that out?!

### 1/5 — .

*2026-05-27*

Очень жаль что платно

### 1/5 — 200 рублей в месяц

*2026-05-18*

Что совсем что ли уже? За ЗАМЕТКИ 199 рублей? Вы в себя придите немного. 19 рублей в месяц да ок но не более

### 1/5 — Can’t make widgets

*2026-05-05, version 3.8.1*

I have an iPhone 16 pro max and I follow the instructions to make a widget and it does not work.

### 1/5 — Платное

### 1/5 — Upgrading to Pro

*2026-02-07, version 3.7.2*

I did the Free trial for pro and of course forgot to cancel it so now I have it. It’s not worth the pro. Some fonts but there should be more, not a lot of options on changing the lettering no font size just S,M,L and can’t underline or highlight. To sum it all up the “Pro” version is basic and not something I would call Pro in 2026.

### 1/5 — Warning against this app and developer

*2026-01-24, version 3.7.2*

I’ve never written an app review till now. I was an android user for 20 years and unfortunately, had to switch to Apple three years ago. I do not own any other Apple products. The android app that I used for notes was not a paid app and unfortunately it is not available on Apple. 

I have not been able to use the sticky notes app since Nov 2025. Since it was more of what I needed, and similar to my android notes app, I decided to get the subscription as the stock Apple notes app didn’t have everything I needed. I pay for this app and never had an issue till then. My app suddenly stopped working and loading. The app would look like it was load but would crash. I tried many ways to trouble shoot the issue before reaching out. 

Getting in touch with the developer isn’t straightforward at all. I had to google the developer to find their website and then further search to find their email address. 

I sent screenshots and explained, in depth, my issue and what I’d done to try and fix before reaching out. They told me that no one else had reported a similar issue. Their responses were sporadic at best with responses two or three days out of the week, at best. 

They released an update but I was still having the same issue. I called into Apple and thankfully got someone who had the same app and had the same issue. The Apple representative never reached out to the developer but reloaded the app and lost all of her notes. She reassured me it was not an issue with my phone but did inform me that there was nothing they could do since it isn’t a stock app. 

I continued to reach out to the developers and was told they were working on the issue but couldn’t replicate my issue. Responses started to trail off. They told me I could delete the app and reinstall it but that I’d probably loose all of my notes.  Or cancel my subscription. Since I do not own any other apple products, their other suggestions was never an option. Their other suggestion was to log onto my app through someone else’s Apple. But I assume that would wipe out that person’s account and products on their device, completely. So basically I had no solid solution from them. 

The last response I received from them was Dec 11, 2025. I continued to reach out to have outstanding questions answered and to this day, have yet to receive a response. 

If I pay for an app, I would expect better service and resolution than what I received from them. I lost critical notes.  

To this day, the issue persists and I still have the app in hopes it will come back before my subscription expires. 

I am disappointed and disgusted with this app, developers and their tech support and was hoping not to have to write this review as a warning to others. 

This entire experience leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. 

I would highly caution anyone considering this app or any other apps created by this developer to reconsider or find a different avenue for your needs as it is not worth your money to pay for a subscription to any of their apps.

### 1/5 — Язык

### 5/5 — Really good

*2026-08-08, version 3.9.2*

It’s a really good app that I used for a bunch of stuff. I use it for a looking into stuff for my dance. I do dance so it’s really helpful to make a little folder for dance and yeah, really helpful.🗒️📓📝 I love it so much I love the style animation it’s really good

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2026-07-09*

Ótimo e intuitivo

**Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pelo seu feedback :) Fique de olho, estamos trabalhando em novos recursos incríveis que serão implementados em breve!

### 5/5 — Love these!

*2026-06-08, version 3.9.0*

As someone who is incredibly forgetful, this app has been a lifesaver. It is FREE & perfect for quick post-it style notes. 

Choose your favorite colors & fonts or keep it easy/simple.

Fast access as a widget on my home screen. Try it!

### 5/5 — Muito bom

### 5/5 — Application sticky Notes

*2026-03-29*

Très bonne application ludique est facile d’utilisation je conseille fortement, aide mémo et rappel ! mais hors de question de payer une application vous m’envoyez désolé 😞 (crise budgétaire même pour nous)

**Developer response:** Bonjour, merci pour votre soutien :) Vous pouvez utiliser l’application gratuitement et payer uniquement si vous estimez avoir besoin de fonctionnalités supplémentaires. Mais si vous pensez que quelque chose manque ou pourrait être amélioré, veuillez nous en informer en utilisant le formulaire de contact dans l’application. Nous sommes là pour vous :)

### 5/5 — Must Have

*2026-03-15, version 3.7.5*

Best notes app work detail and uniqueness

### 5/5 — Such a great app ♡♡♡

*2026-03-11, version 3.7.4*

Love how cute and simple this app is for taking notes x

### 5/5 — Здорово

*2026-03-04, version 3.7.4*

Товарищи-студенты, школьники и прочие люди, у которых проблемы с составлением расписания. Это приложение помогло мне начать учиться, ведь поставив цели на учёбу на рабочий стол — тяжело не заметить. Также, порадовала возможность оформления заметок, это мотивирует поскорее зачеркнуть один из выполненных пунктов (следовательно, выполнять их). Конечно, без премиума не так много функций, но приложение со своей задачей справляется, а это — главное. 👍

### 5/5 — Best Sticky Note App. Ever.

*2026-01-20, version 3.7.2*

I will 💯 be paying the fair and affordable annual price of $19.99 for this app. (Note that the 1mo price of $2.99 and available 6mo of $11.99 caters to all budgets). 

Whether you are someone always looking for new/better ways to stay organized, or someone with ADHD, cognitive disabilities, or a super busy person who occasionally struggles with organization, in my opinion this app is for everyone. 

It takes the simple interface of the iOS Notes app and adds an even simpler way to quickly format, organize, and reference. I replaced about 4 widgets with a large, easy to view and select view of this one. 

If it suits you, the ability to set a default format enables you to enjoy cute or device themed colors and fonts is just a bonus. (It suits me 🤣).

### 5/5 — Compra

*2025-12-23*

Eu fui a compra de 1 ano e fui assaltada. Quando instalei o app de novo, todas as notas sumiram e está pedindo pra pagar de novo. Não tem como recuperar?

**Developer response:** Olá, ao reinstalar o aplicativo, você precisa restaurar as compras no menu de Configurações do app, e então sua assinatura será restaurada junto com seus dados.
