abcNotes +4

This is an excellent sticky note app and is simple to use. I like being able to organize my notes on different desktops to keep like-minded notes together. I also like being able to make my notes into checklists, use bullet characters and stickers or badges as well as being able to choose the color or style of “paper” for my notes. There are many paper styles to choose from but the colors are limited. I would like to see some new colors, like lavender and turquoise and shades of the different colors. Also, the notebook and crumpled paper styles could also be in different colors as well. My eye is drawn to color and there are so many beautiful colors that could be incorporated into this beautiful app to make it even better.

I have used this app for years, sometimes wandering away looking for the “perfect” such app but always returning here. The most important thing to me is being able to see all of the entries in one note without having to open that note — allows me to work through my task list quickly when I am running errands. I do a very abbreviated version of a bullet journal here because it is easy to see/modify my info, and it is hard to lose track of things once they are entered here! This app is fast and easy to use and keeps me organized better than anything else I have tried over the years — thank you for this 5-star app!

Amen to every other 5-star review; no point in giving the same praise over and over. ;-)

I do have one slight quibble, having to do with the placement of the badge. I had enlarged the type to make it more readable, but then the badge covered up some of the text. I then had to make the text smaller. I suggest being able to a) move the badge where I want it, such as at the top of the note; b) enlarge the note, widening it so that the badge wouldn’t interfere with the text; or c) having the lines of text that the badge interferes with wrap in front of the badge the way you can do with a photo in Microsoft Word.

In spite of the preceding lo-o-ong paragraph, the badge problem is minor, and the app is great. I particularly like the option of different desktops as a means of categorizing notes.

Also, in response to McCoy27 and his syncing problem, I have never had difficulty going from my iPhone to my iPad and back again. As soon as I open up the app, a graphic appears saying Synchronized.
