I have loaded it on both of my watches, but neither one will load onto the complications. So what do I do? I deleted a lot of apps from my watch. That wasn’t the problem. ### 3/5 — This is incredible app with one major function missing *2026-05-31* Where is notes displacement/movement? I don’t care if it’s apple’s way of holding down a certain place activating a free move mode or two finger touching does it, but I need it to DO IT. My permanent purchase is yours IF AND ONLY IF you implement this function. ### 3/5 — iCloud sync is maddening *2026-05-18* I like everything about the app except the thing I bought lifetime premium for: iCloud sync is way too unreliable. Regularly, I’ll make a change to a note the phone, and that change won’t push over to the widget on the Mac. So I click on the widget to open the app, and then it syncs … except it syncs the older note to my phone and overwrites the change I made, which is the whole reason I’m fussing with all this in the first place. Really nice app overall, but if I can’t trust sync, I can’t trust any part of it and I can’t recommend this to anyone else either. iCloud is notoriously pitiful so I hope you can find another solution to offer, especially for folks paying a subscription price. **Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback! The app relies on Apple’s iCloud sync framework, so unfortunately sync timing isn’t something I can fully control. In some cases, iCloud can delay updates or deliver them out of order, especially when devices have been idle or offline for a while. I’m continuously improving how the app handles these situations, but I agree that sync reliability is one of the most important parts of a notes app. I hope Apple continues to improve iCloud as well, because it’s something many developers struggle with. Thank you for supporting the app with Lifetime Premium despite this, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. ### 3/5 — iCloud Sync is really maddening *2026-05-18* I like everything about the app except the thing I bought lifetime premium for: iCloud sync is way too unreliable.

I downloaded this app for the sidebar function, but was displeased to learn there is no way to remove the app icon from the dock while it’s running in the background. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-02-20* This app is great. I just wish that when I checked off items on my to-do list they automatically moved to the bottom ### 3/5 — Great App, But needs font size support *2025-10-27* This app is great, I prefer it so much more over the default sticky note app. The ability to have notes as widgets is absolutely great. The reason for my 3 star review, and not 5 is due to the lack of FONT SIZE support. I feel like having the ability to change font size to make the widget/desktop look more consistent and concise would be extremely beneficial. I attempted to get in contact with the dev directly to share my advice, but unfortunately the weblink would not work. I will change my review to 5/5 if font features get added ### 3/5 — Looks good, needs some obvious options for the price *2025-01-22* This is not an inexpensive little app. Overall it looks nice and has some interesting power-user options which I’d be okay paying for if the feature set was more robust. I am surprised that there’s no way to have a black background for a note and no text color or font style options. What’s the point of “Dark Mode” when the only background color options are bright and gaudy (except for the bland medium grey)? Too distracting for me to have on my screen. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review and detailed feedback. I understand your concerns about the color options, and I'm planning to add darker note background colors in future updates to better support Dark Mode. Your input is invaluable, and I'm committed to improving the app based on user suggestions. Thank you again! ### 4/5 — Useful in its simplicity *2024-12-21* It does what it says perfectly well. Are there any plans to allow for different font and font sizes? How do I delete the security note? I don’t need it, and it’s distracting me. What’s the difference between the free and subscription plan? Thank you. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review. I do plan to support multiple fonts in a future update. To delete a security note, simply unlock it and then delete it. If you've forgotten the password and can't unlock the note, you can delete the entire group where it is located; please note that all notes in that group will also be deleted. With the Pro subscription, you'll get additional features such as drawing on notes, viewing editing history, changing note colors, and more. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2024-09-15* Don’t get me wrong, do use this app all the time. However, I do wish it would allow for larger note pages and also font colors. Otherwise it’s a perfect note app. It does the job. ### 4/5 — loooove, one glitch that’s super annoying tho *2024-07-24* every once in a while the widget will stop working, and won’t allow me to view any updated i make to the note in the widget. the only way to fix is to create a new widget and a new note which is kinda annoying. otherwise i’m obsessed w this app, i love having my daily to do list right in my home page:) **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear about the issue with the widget. If you continue to experience this problem, please don't hesitate to contact me at support@kuzmenko.info. I'm here to help! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the app otherwise, and I appreciate your support! ### 4/5 — Nice, simple, works *2024-04-03* Testing this during a free trial. It does what it says, and the Float on Top and Locked Note features are nice. The only downside is the limited color choices -- you can either use bright, loud colors or dull gray. So if you like the colors in the screenhots, you'll like the app, but they aren't for me. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Your feedback on the color choices is valuable to me. In latest version, I added 16 new pastel colors for a more varied and subtle palette. I hope this enhances your experience with the app. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to improve! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free. *2025-06-14* Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-01-22* So looking checking out the reviews and seeing that 5Junebug said it was free, I thought why not. I just need a simple tool that can be used on my home page to jot a few notes before transferring them to other programs. Once I download the app however it says. Free trial for 7 Days and then only $3.99 per month after that. So not really what I thought it was. So will move on to see if there is something else out there that can meet my needs of a simple tool that captures a thought and stays on the front page of my iPad before being moved to another application. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review! All basic features, such as creating notes, syncing via iCloud, and displaying notes in widgets, will always remain free. The Pro subscription unlocks additional features like drawing, scanning, QR code creation, and many other capabilities. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work properlty *2025-01-15* Doesn't perform as advertized. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the app hasn't met your expectations. Could you please provide more details about the issue? Feel free to email me at support@kuzmenko.info so I can better understand and address your concerns. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht bei IOS 18 *2025-01-15* Leider funktioniert die App unter IOS 18 nicht. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review! Please email me at support@kuzmenko.info with additional details. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Wanted simplicity... this isn't it *2024-11-04* I'd suggest to write a $1 version of this app, which is jut about having JUST desktop widgets, and have them being able to be edited directly on the deskop (right now edit is not possible, just checklists). **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback! I completely understand your suggestion — it would be great if Apple allowed developers to implement editing functionality directly in widgets. For now, many features, including widgets, are available for free without any ads. I truly appreciate your support and ideas for improving the app! ### 1/5 — Does not get the basics right *2024-06-05* Cant resize notes, cant scroll through notes. Has alot of advanced features that i would want like secure, and history. But unfortunately its supposed to keep notes like a sticky at bare minimum. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that your experience with my sticky notes app hasn't met your expectations. Resizing notes and scrolling through them are features I'm actively working on to enhance user experience, and I appreciate your patience as I continue to improve the app. I understand the importance of having a simple, yet functional sticky notes app, and my goal is to balance advanced features with ease of use. Your input is invaluable to me, and I hope you'll consider giving the app another chance in the future. If you have any more suggestions or need assistance, please reach out to me at support@kuzmenko.info. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-07-06* In my opinion, he Terms are written in an unfair and unequitable manner, downloading or using the app means that you are agreeing to their terms whichn are split and housed across at least two seperate links. I wasn't able to locate the cost of use, their approach made me feel uncomfortable so I closed down the terms and app. However, 3 different 'sticky notes popped up on my screen, I typed a few words in the sidebar note, closed off the other two notes and the sidebar kept dissapearing. I promptly deleted the app! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review! Usage of app is free. App contains some pro features for extra cost. All tariffs available in Settings -> Pro section. If you faced some issues, please contact me support@kuzmenko.info. Thank you! ### 2/5 — A little scamy pushing to pro version *2025-01-24* Every time I press the enter key, there comes a pop-up that I should buy the pro version, when I try to paste something it’s the same. It is okay to have some pro features in a note app, but paying 22€ for basic features like this for noting something is a bit scamy **Developer response:** Hello! I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by the pop-ups. The main focus of the app is to store short, quick notes, but I plan to enhance it for more flexible note-taking in the future. Stay tuned! ### 2/5 — Truly Underwhelming *2024-06-14* After fiddling with it for about half an hour, I deleted it. It seems rather primitive and no more useful than the built-in Notes app. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review and feedback! While this app is primarily designed as a companion to the macOS version, it also offers a range of fantastic features on its own. These include a detailed history, customizable widgets, different background colors, and much more. I hope you continue to enjoy using the app! ### 2/5 — Not helpful tool to me. *2023-10-28* Wrote developer but no reply **Developer response:** Hello! May be I do not receive your message… Please, write one more time to support@kuzmenko.info. I reply to all messages! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Greate *2026-01-29* Love it! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-01-20* Great app, very helpful to stay organized and have a sticky note on my computer without having to waste paper or deal with smudging a real one. Love the Bluetooth capability feature. Only things I wish were different was that the premium one time pay price was less and that I could change the same sticky notes color on all my devices, have it be one color on my computer and another color on my phone. Overall great product! ### 5/5 — Отлично, но *2025-07-03* Не понимаю как переместить группу вниз или вверх. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо за отзыв! Я сейчас работаю над перемещением групп и заметок в iOS приложении. Эти функции уже доступны в десктопном Mac приложении. Скоро все будет! ### 5/5 — Best sticky note app on iOS *2025-06-30* I downloaded and tried almost every sticky note app on the App Store, and this is superior to the others by a longshot. The checklist widget is so clean and fits a lot of text in a tiny widget window. I love that! The note and drawing option is a bonus. Best of all their customer service is amazing. While trying the free plan, I emailed them with questions about 5 times and they responded quickly each time! I’m converted and just bought the one time $20 plan which is so reasonable. Thank you for making a wonderful product. It helps me more than you can imagine! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 💛 I’m really glad you enjoy the widgets and features — and it means a lot to hear that our support helped you along the way. Your feedback truly made my day! ### 5/5 — ок *2025-03-25* Долго искала приложение, чтобы выносить список дел виджетом на экран. Это почти идеально - в маленький виджет помещается 8 строчек! Пожалуйста, добавьте белый цвет заметки! (хоть в платную) и мб пару шрифтов? **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Большое спасибо за отзыв! Да, я добавлю белый цвет заметки и еще несколько. Над шрифтами тоже работаю. ### 5/5 — Nice free app *2024-12-25* It good to use as widgets and nice to swap completed tasks **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you find the widgets useful! ### 5/5 — Really Nice *2024-11-09* I have a Sticky Note app however it is old and no updates so decided to give this one a try. WOW really nice and easy to use for a grandma like me. I bought the forever $19.99 as did not want to mess with a subscription. I would like to see in an update the option to use a photo but still beyond awesome. Thanks to the developer for making a nice app that is very useful. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I thrilled to hear that you find app easy to use and helpful. I appreciate your feedback about the option to use a photo and will definitely consider it for future updates. If you have any other suggestions or questions, feel free to let us know. Thanks again for your support! ### 5/5 — Really Nice *2024-10-19* I have a Sticky Note app however it is old and no updates so decided to give this one a try.

Thanks again for your support! ### 5/5 — It has a truly free version *2024-05-12* This is the only app I have found that does what it says. It allows you to download multiple notes,although it only gives you two color choices, It does what it says: They are free. ALL the others lie in the descriptions. They say it’s free you go through the trouble of downloading and they allow you one sticky note and if you have a different thought, you need to edit that one sticky note (puzzling process)or buy their app for unlimited notes for $20 a month subscription!!!they’re crazy! This app is the only one I have found, after looking for months, that has a truly free version. It was very easy to download very very easy to use and yes, I am going to pay for this one! They have different price versions that are very reasonable. It’s a keeper. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear that my app has met your expectations and that you found it easy to download and use. I'm glad you appreciate the truly free version with multiple notes. I understand how frustrating it can be when apps don't live up to their descriptions, so I made it a priority to offer an honest and straightforward experience. Your feedback about the color choices is noted, and I'll look into adding more options in future updates. Thank you for your support and for choosing to upgrade to a paid version. Your satisfaction means a lot to me, and I'm committed to making the app even better. If you have any more suggestions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2024-05-08* Thank you for adding the additional colors! This is easily the best sticky notes app on the store and the developer is super responsive to feedback. Clean, simple and just enough features to do exactly what a sticky notes app needs to do. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Your feedback on the color choices is valuable to me. In latest version, I added 16 new pastel colors for a more varied and subtle palette. I hope this enhances your experience with the app. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to improve! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
