### 5/5 — Great notes App-

*2016-12-17, version 1.5.0*

Used on iPhone 5 & now 6+ & 6s+.   I initially got it once it was a "today" screen widget because I wanted to see some of my notes on my lock screen w/o opening up my iPhone.  Looks & works great.  It was the best App out there then & it still is.  I would like to see it as an Apple Watch App, because a lot of new note & lists Apps for the Watch disappoint me.

### 4/5 — Very good for an early version

*2015-03-07, version 1.5.0*

Most features of any Note App Widget.
Has some quirks, like switching from Portrait to Landscape (by itself) while marking up an image.
Also handwriting is not smooth (especially on a large image). Hopefully, developers will fix and improve with updates.

Overall, there is no other note taking widget as feature rich as this.

Thanks developers.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2015-02-02, version 1.0.0*

By far, this is the most useful app I've ever found on Appstore. It has many functions that other apps do not.
Thanks developers.
