Post-it® App 4+

Post-it is the best sticky notes app to have on the MacOS. The developers have done a great job creating this minimal yet practical application using the new Catalyst tool, which has allowed the application to make a bold appereance on its debut in the App Store.

However, my only concern is the fact that the user cannot interact with the post-it notes on the desktop, the way its done with Apple's 'Stickies'. I personally would love to be able to use and view these sticky notes on the desktop, with the option of writing and resizing them directly from the home screen. Consequently, I find myself using stickies more to group my ideas although I have been wanting to switch to another sticky notes app, as I feel that Apple's Stickies is quite outdated.

I hope the developers would take this suggestion into consideration. Thank you for your continous efforts to improve this app.

I love using this app to collect tidbits of information as I do research. One per post-it note. Once I've gathered enough of them or I've read all the research material, then I start to organize them into a structure. The ability to group notes and either automatically or manually arrange them comes super handy at this point. I'll add a few missing pieces, then practice giving the speech extemporaneously. After practicing a few times and refining, I'm ready to go.

That being said, there are a few rough edges with the app. I would say they're usability or UX issues. Creating a note for example can sometimes just be a bit weird. Where does it go? Into a group? No, it gets its own group at first. Unless you had a group selected. Things like this are a bit of a bummer but I don't know of a better alternative. Hopefully they continue to do some user research and improve this app.

So I have always used post it notes to jot down things I needed to remember quickly or to put on top of documents - post it notes are one of the best office supplies of all times…so the fact that it is now an iPhone/iPad app makes me happy. I am aware that the iOS notes do most of the same thing BUT this app is the best because you can create notes of different sizes or color….plus you can hand write notes and submit photos. I actually use it religiously on my iPad mini…I open up my tablet, open up a post it note, write my simple note and I’m done…and it syncs with all of my devices. I hope the developers consider making an Apple Watch version of the app…that is one thing missing about the notes app…but it would be great to access the notes on the watch as well!
