Sticky Widgets 4+

Simple+Functional

This app takes great advantage of iOS 14's widgets and nails the functionality of putting reminders or short lists directly on your Home Screen. I've been using it alongside my more full featured todo app (which can easily get cluttered) to simply ID the top 3-5 things to do in a given day, and then they are in front of me every time I glance at my phone. Love it!!

I did have one glitch with the 2.0 update and, after playing with it, realized that it seems to be due to the new iCloud sync feature. Since my iCloud is full (I don't pay for it, so that's a near permenant reality), it wasn't actually saving any of my changes (I only use it on my phone at this point). I fixed it by going into the iCloud settings and turning off the slider for iCloud access for the app. Now everything's back to bring groovy. 😎

Thanks for the hard work on this app!

Thanks for your review! That’s great to hear!

Great usability

Hello I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed this app. It’s very functional and I like how the note type can be changed. There’s also two ways for it to show on the Lock Screen, when you add it as a widget, and when you pin it. I like to pin it and find out the colors of my background and match the pinned note with the same colors.
I have a (what I believe) good suggestion. It would be so cool if a line from a list could be allowed to be tapped and then deleted from both the lock screen / Home Screen that way I could see my work go down without having to go into the app. It would also look better than the clutter of the words plus the lines through them marking them out. Great job for this app though! Overall love it

Good concept. Needs work.

On my iPhone, the font can now be smaller when inputting it, but on the note it’s so big that it wraps a single word. I wrote Respond and half the word is on the next line. Seems scaling should be turned on.
Also I did try adding several widgets to have several notes. They all had the same single note on it and when I changed one, they all changed.
The restore feature does nothing.
The first widget let me select one of three colors. Adding another widget and that was taken away and only yellow remained.
This is a good try but not yet ready to work.
-edit as developer responded
Starting to see some progress here but still lacks some basic things.
The developer sounds a lot like an engineer, needs to work a bit more UX. Sure stickies should be numbered but with no list to select the numbers, and no labels for the numbers all you have is a guess unless you are one of those people that remembers a random number and your note.
Basically, the concept needs to be reworked as a note platform first, with a sticky note option. Simple delete a note swipe. Select which note will be on the widget from the main app with a simple select or check box. Speaking of check boxes, you should be able to prioritize and dismiss a sticky note so it can be used like a to do list. Add alarm functionality and you have a basic app!

Hi there, thanks for the review A few things:
- Version 1.3 fixes the issue where single words would wrap. I also added a manual text size settings for even more control over the sizing in that version.
- There's a system bug that will occasionally report multiple widgets back as one. If you change one widget's Note ID, it'll appear unique and let you have multiple different notes.
- "Restore" is to restore a previously purchased upgrade. A future build will have a better label on it.
