Great app, responsive support

Update: Support got back to me with a temporary workaround and I’m able to use the app again in the meantime. Appreciate their responsiveness and am glad to be able to see my widgets again with the workaround.

I really loved and relied on this app, but after the latest app, ALL widgets are broken, and I just have blank spaces on the screen where the widgets used to be. Tried multiple things to try to get them back but no luck.

Hopefully a fix will come out soon.

For now, I just have a disorienting mess rather than my widgets.

I’ll update my review once it’s working again.

Response from developer

Hi! We responded to your support request emails. Hoping to hear back so we can get this fixed for you! Thanks

Quick for shopping & to do

Easy to make my lists and reminders, but I have trouble putting the one I need to see first on my home page of apps with the list open. Update: I continue to use Jot and would like to find a way to have list appear on my home page!

You changed my favourite feature :(

I love this app, however, with the new update you use to be able to have an image s the background AND a back ground colour ( I hushed a transparent png over your apps coloured background and that ability has been taken away with the new update. So not I can’t up the opacity of the background colour so I can write on my templates I made for the app on procreate. If that is still an option I cannot find it anywhere. I’m heartbroken, I use this app for school everyday and now I can’t.
