Like a Post-It® on your lock screen: never again forget anything important! (BE PATIENT: initially it takes a while for the notes to show up, this improves the more often you use the app AND you have to be online due to technical restrictions) You always wanted to see your important notes immediately when looking at your iPhone? Then "Urgent Notes" is the app you waited for! No need to unlock or even switch into an app. Synchronises between several devices via iCloud. A Widget in Notification Center is also available. Important: The "Background App Refresh" (Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh) has to be turned on for the "Urgent Notes" app. (This will not drain the battery as no online activity will take place.)
