"It's perfect, honestly." - Myke Hurley, Connected "What makes Sticky Widgets great is the simplicity of the experience." - Ryan Christoffel, MacStories "This is a great concept." - Dave Mark, The Loop Welcome to Sticky Widgets, the absolute easiest way to put a sticky note on your home screen and edit it quickly. Add as many Sticky Widgets as you'd like, in every widget size. It's simple! It works on iPad! You can even pin notes to your Lock Screen with a premium subscription so they're visible even when your phone is locked! 1. Add a Sticky Widget to your home screen 2. Tap on the widget to edit it 3. That's about it! But that's not all. Once you have a widget in place, you can customize it: change color, background, font, alignment, size, even rotation! And your widgets now sync to your iCloud account, meaning you can put a note on multiple devices logged into the same Apple ID and they'll stay in sync. Sticky Widgets supports deep system integration with Siri, Shortcuts, the Dynamic Island, and more so there are even more ways to view and update your notes and lists. Sticky Widgets is free to download and use. You get unlimited widgets, three classic background colors, three fonts, iCloud sync, Siri and Shortcuts integration, and full control over alignment, size, and rotation: all without paying a thing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sticky Widgets at 4.6 against GLITTER DRAW FREE!!'s 3.1. Sticky Widgets also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (30K vs 30). GLITTER DRAW FREE!!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
