Otherwise love it. ### 4/5 — Need 2 lines *2018-11-27, version 2.1.0* App great, but really need 2 lines! ### 4/5 — UrgentNotes *2018-10-09, version 2.1.0* I think that UrgentNotes deserves 4 stars because: 1:they donate 30p to UNICEF every review. 2:they remind you when to do things. And 3:they send you notifications of what you want to do. All of these prove that UrgentNotes are very caring towards us , helpful and useful so this is why I think they should be awarded🎖🏅🥇🎟 ### 4/5 — Post it’s *2018-08-04, version 2.1.0* It is just like post it notes. It stays on my screen with reminders that I have notes there. I do wish you could write longer notes but it only allows so many characters to be used ### 4/5 — Nice little App *2018-06-27, version 2.1.0* I do wish though that the notes would pop up on my screen instead of me having to look to see if I have any urgent notes. 😊 ### 4/5 — Great Reminders App *2016-08-15, version 2.0.0* This is a great reminders app, like one I've been looking for for a long time, for it can put your reminders on the Lock Screen where you can see them right away when you turn on your phone. The only drawback I've experienced, & the reason I'm not giving it 5 stars, is the fact that they limit you to so few words/characters ! If they would only increase that it would be phenomenal ! Also if they'd include the use of emogies it would really enhance things. ### 5/5 — Convenient *2015-08-30, version 1.0.0* Good daily reminder ### 5/5 — Very good app *2015-05-17, version 1.0.0* Love it ### 4/5 — Helpful *2014-05-02, version 1.0.0* Very useful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lowercase letters! why not full screen? *2020-11-19, version 2.1.0* Lowercase letters! why not full screen? ### 1/5 — Never showed up *2018-07-09, version 2.1.0* I have waited 2 weeks for my notes to show up on my lock screen. Nope! I don’t need a Urgent Notes that show up over two weeks later. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2018-05-16, version 2.1.0* This app does not work. It says it will show on your lock screen but it doesn’t ### 1/5 — Colossal waste of time *2016-11-17, version 2.1.0* Wow! What's the point? Can't copy and paste into anything. No response to feedback email. Do not bother to download. ### 1/5 — Didn't work and not needed after all *2016-10-21, version 2.1.0* After trying this and another app trying to get to-do reminders to show on lock screen with no success, I figured out that it can be done with the iOS Reminders app in iOS 9 or later by setting an alarm for any time from a minute later forward and turning on lock screen notifications in settings. It shows up as long as it's not marked completed. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2016-07-07, version 2.0.0* This would be a wonderful product - if it actually worked. However hard I tried (including requesting author support) I could not get items to post to the lock screen on either my iPad Pro 9.7 or iPhone 6S+ even after waiting several days. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-04-19, version 1.0.0* Great idea. Doesn't work. ### 2/5 — So so *2018-09-05, version 2.1.0* I was hoping for a big posted popup note on my screen. I had that with another app on my Samsung. ### 3/5 — Great app *2016-07-28, version 2.0.0* So far It works really well on my iPad mini 4. I just can't figure out how to make it work on my lock-screen on my iPhone 6 ### 4/5 — revision *2020-12-16, version 2.1.0* alarm function 1-how can I set an alarm next to each note- 3-note length is very limited. cabin the developer expand the lengths of note to 3 lines? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Parfait *2021-10-04, version 2.1.0* Très bon ### 5/5 — Simple but Brilliant *2019-10-30, version 2.1.0* This is one of my favourite top apps. It reminds me beautifully of appointments, etc. And it also contributes to charity. Believe me you’ll love it ❤️. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-03-09, version 2.1.0* Greatest ever use it all the time and sends me notifications on my lock screen too Love it ! ### 5/5 — Is good! *2018-11-14, version 2.1.0* Does what I need it to do. Remind me of stuff ### 5/5 — It’s fair. *2018-10-17, version 2.1.0* Can’t get it to change print colors at times. Doesn’t pop up. ### 5/5 — It was perfect *2018-05-18, version 2.1.0* Just exactly what I needed ### 5/5 — Very nice *2018-04-15, version 2.1.0* Hasn't made it on the locked screen yet but I put it up front where I know to go to it. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-02-03, version 2.1.0* I simply need to see a “Keyword” that will remind me of an appointment or a chore. Full explanations are on my calendar which serves a different purpose. Delighted to have found this. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2016-07-30, version 2.0.0* Love it ### 5/5 — My opinion about this app so far *2015-10-31, version 2.0.0* So far so good with this app so I am really hoping that it helps me not forget the things I need to get done on a day to day basis --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
