Desktop component uses more than 1GB of RAM
So I'm running the desktop companion to this app (a required part for syncing, naturally), and activity monitor shows the process using more than 1.1GB of memory (RAM). For comparison the stickies application itself uses about 20MB. This is a huge tax on the system and is probably due to terrible coding on the developer's part. I really wanted an app to sync my sticky notes between my iphone and my computer, and was okay paying a very high price for this app if it providing the functionality I was looking for.
The app doesn't allow you to edit notes from your iOS device, only from your computer. This is okay for me, I just take the few notes I need on my iphone in the notes app, then when I get home I type them up on the computer, not too bad, but I only take a few lines of notes in a day. This app is really useful for syncing a daily schedule, shopping list, or other note that you want to have handy on both your computer and iOS device. Unfortunately the app messes with the formatting, and makes everything double-spaced, which I find annoying, and less visually pleasing.
Overall I find the application badly written for system usage, to the point that it bogs down my system, ridiculous for a small background utility that just sits in the menubar. The formatting issue is also an annoyance, and not being able to edit stickies from the iOS device is also annoying, but this might not be possible from the stickies application itself's end. Also, the price is way over inflated. This all combines to being a disappointment, and a corresponding low rating. I think it's almost unusable for anyone who has less than 4 gigs of ram and is willing to devote a whole 1/4 of their system memory to running a badly coded, tiny background utility. I'm looking to get a refund.

Failed to sync as advertised
After installing the app and following the instructions, my ipod touch failed to sync with my MacBook Pro as advertised. I attempted to contact the distributor to no avail. I wouldn't recommend this product.
thank you for making this
I set it up in like a minute...
works exactly as described, I have a warm and fuzzy feeling when I'm away from my computer now

great app, looking forward for more
This app is what I was looking for (except missing 2-way sync). I think the issues that people are having might be mistyping the id and password. I think I mistyped it and uninstalled/installed again and had no problem the second time. There should be an option to reenter the credentials.
Otherwise, a great app.

Concerned about security
I downloaded this app and in addition to being completely un-intuitive, the app is almost impossible to close down/quit, the icon appears on the toolbar (instead of the dock), and it is externally managed by an administrator whose visibility rights you can't manually override. Not to mention that the username and password is automatically generated and cannot be created by the user.
Red Flags! Removing it immediately and hiding all traces of it ever being there...
