However, my buttons are black… just straight black. No words. They work but I have to test them to know what they do. Also today, when I went to type a new note, I couldn’t see the words I was typing. The text cursor moved but the page stayed blank other than the red underline for some apparent mistype I made. On top of that, where is the settings feature for the app? Am I dumb and just missing it? Is it because Im IOS? Please help and your app will be my new best friend! ### 4/5 — Free Version *2026-08-09, version 5.1.1* Free Version is super handy, but constant pop ups to purchase the upgrade. ### 3/5 — i know devs gotta eat but *2026-08-05, version 5.1.0* even my sticky notes app has to be a subscription? 🫩 are you sure? ### 2/5 — Clunky and Buggy *2026-08-04, version 5.1.0* Widgets often become frozen and unresponsive, just sit there and take up space, sometimes with your work inaccessible within. Even when it does work as it should, the interface is very clunky and unintuitive. I've had it forever, am now trying to use it more than in the past but may need to look for something different. Love the concept, not sure about the execution. ### 2/5 — Can’t view first items of my do-list after created *2026-07-16, version 5.0.6* Great feature to be able to post to lock screen and list to-do’s with check offs and offer different colors. But it’s now not allowing me to scroll to the top of my list I made so I can’t see the whole list which is a problem- defeats the reason for making a do-list. I’ve tried every which way to fix it to no avail. Maybe a bug? Also can’t delete, only archive post its. If not for these few things, I would have rated app higher. ### 4/5 — Overall good, UX could improve *2026-07-13, version 5.0.6* Screens pop up and don’t go away like the font colors. Why do I need that always on top? Have to keep minimizing it ### 4/5 — Unable to open the app in the phone *2026-07-05* Dear concerned team, I have been the user of this app and used to perfectly work for me. Currently, it is not working for me. Kindly rectify the app bugs. Since I have the updated app version and still unable to open the application in my phone. Thank you ### 4/5 — Very good *2026-06-29, version 5.0.6* Great app, def enjoy the functionality. My only complaint is that when stickies are updated via shortcuts, 80% of the time the app has to be updated for the content on the widget to be refreshed. I like to update mine dynamically on a schedule throughout the day, and opening the app is just enough friction to make it annoying to use. ### 1/5 — App Bugged Fully *2026-06-25, version 5.0.6* This app worked perfectly for a long time but over the past 6 months none of my sticky notes were updating on my home screen widgets and the lists kept deleting when i updated them ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-06-14, version 5.0.6* I can’t change the font color and it is invisible against the background. Unusable ### 1/5 — Subscription trash DONT BUY *2026-06-13, version 5.0.6* Trash app the requires a subscription to do the simplest of things like change fonts and add widgets to lock screen on iPhone. ### 1/5 — I use it a lot but…it’s broken. *2026-06-05, version 5.0.6* I’ve tried to get help on this issue by directly reaching out but haven’t heard anything back in months so, this is my last resort. I think overall that the app is better than one star and I’ll gladly update my review once they fix some of the issues. The biggest one is that when you make a note into a checklist, you can no longer open the note or edit it beyond checking things off. I have a note that I have now effectively lost because I can’t see the note beyond the preview. Another issue is that you sometimes lose info if you leave the app to do something like check text if you didn’t save the note because the app may refresh when you return. Lastly, a few small things that I wish would be updated. 1) No longer being forced to name notes. 2) being able to hide the keyboard so you can view a note in full screen. 3) bullet points! ### 2/5 — Bugs, bugs *2026-06-01, version 5.0.6* pretty buggy app. On the pro version, deleting a listed item and then pressing "Close" causes another empty listed item to appear (repeatable), currently, adding a new note to a lockscreen widget slot 2 doesn't work, saying that slot is empty when added to the lockscreen. Homescreen seems to work okay. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Typing no longer does anything *2026-08-15, version 5.1.1* I wrote lots of notes on my phone for my job and my therapist. Hard to do when typing doesn’t do anything. It’s like the app gave up ### 1/5 — Use to be amazing, now wont show on Home Screen *2026-08-10, version 5.1.1* I’ve had this (paid version) for a while. It was amazing and then recently it dropped showing any words on the home screen (can see the widget but none of my typing). I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no changes. ### 1/5 — Lol gotta pay *2026-08-05, version 5.1.0* Free version is useless so just a money grab. ### 1/5 — SCAM!!! *2026-08-04, version 5.1.0* This is NOT an app… it’s a SCAM! Users can NOT readily access notes! Users can NOT edit notes / lists! Users can NOT delete notes / lists! This “app” is utterly USELESS and has no functionality! All attempts to navigate and access note / list are frustratingly blocked by perpetual ad trying to get user to pay for service! Any note user creates is locked and inaccessible… held hostage as a means of EXTORTION! There is NO free service! It’s a FRAUD! Your personal data can NOT be accessed, edited, or deleted unless you PAY for service! This is TRASH!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-30, version 5.0.6* It doesn’t save notes even when you click the check mark. Prompts you to pay for and upgrade every few minutes or for almost every feature. It lost a very important set of notes twice and is not user friendly. ### 1/5 — Ceased to function again! *2026-07-25, version 5.0.6* This has failed 3 times already in the last year. Wiping out all notes! No recovery. I want something that works, not fails!!! ### 1/5 — Difficult *2026-07-16, version 5.0.6* The push to make you spend money with pop-ups makes this app too much work to be worth it. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2026-07-04, version 5.0.6* It’s not working anymore. Won’t update my edits on my widget ### 1/5 — Update *2026-07-01, version 5.0.6* All of a sudden when you type they aren’t saving your notes?? What even is the point?? You type and hit close and poof gone ### 1/5 — Disappears *2026-07-01, version 5.0.6* Notes randomly disappear. Disappointed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sticky Widgets *2026-08-15, version 5.1.1* I’ve been using this app for years and it just keeps getting better. This is honestly one of my favorite and most used apps on my phone. Notes for doctor visits, notes to self, reminders, lists. I use it for everything. Simple but mighty tool. ### 5/5 — Best app for notes *2026-08-10* I found this app is very useful for to do notes ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-08-10, version 5.1.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Stellar *2026-07-26, version 5.0.6* I’ve been using for years for all of my lists. Second nature and super convenient ### 5/5 — Love Sticky Widgets *2026-07-20, version 5.0.6* Helps me organize my weekly schedule when it is on my lock screen. I love it!!!! Use it daily. ### 5/5 — Happy Camper *2026-06-08, version 5.0.6* Convenient and Easy ### 5/5 — Nice Application *2026-06-08* Very useful app but very less features in free version. ### 5/5 — Fantastically Functional! *2026-05-30, version 5.0.6* I love this app! I’m neurodivergent (or NeuroSparkly, whichever term you prefer) and often find myself distracted. Sticky Widgets is a simple app that allows me to pin notes in such a way that I can see what my goals are for the next few hours which helps me get more done and forget fewer tasks. It also has fantastic customization options with a lovely - and quite straightforward - user interface. ### 5/5 — I love this app how neat and convenient they are *2026-05-29, version 5.0.6* I’m the sticky note/ Post It dude. So this comes in handy. Thank you Sticky Widgets ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-28, version 5.0.6* Great little tool --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
