Another GREAT app by Mohammad Adib! Another outstanding workflow-enhancing app for people who use their phone to get real things accomplished. As a developer and power user, I really value the precious tools that add another dimension to your taskflow. I keep Stickies close at hand, and often use it as an extended clipboard for several related items (input boxes, or building a URL or shell command for example), or as a quick scratchpad to extract relevant bits from a web page. Use along with Sidebar, and you'll never go back.

great - make sticky notes straight on your homescreen There are a number of stucky notes apps, but of the ones I've tried, this is the best because you don't need to create the note as a widget as you do with so many others. You just click the app icon which opens a sticky note straight on your homescreen. It will become semi-transparent and stay on screen whatever you do, or you can swipe it to the side and get it back any time, much like the way the Facebook Messenger app works. Simple but incredibly useful - my favourite kind of app!

Great Idea! I've been looking for a post-it note type app for aaages, and this is perfect for that! Google Keep was good but you had to remember to open it to see your reminders... The only thing that would put this up to 5* is if you could collaborate with Samsung and incorporate it into Note. I'd love to be able to take out the S Pen, write a memo and it would stick like the sticky note, not saved into a file. An amalgamation of S Note with Floating Stickies would be perfect!

Dave Fone

Cool. But one thing... Very useful for on the go things you must keep in mind. One issue: it should close completely when you click to close (either all X's or by clicking the alert). Instead, the notes close, the alert goes away... but the process and service keep running. Have to manually kill to get rid of it, every time. Please make it truly close.

Best sticky note app out there It took me about 15 minutes how to get a 'NEW' blank sticky note up to use....the video is not clear on that- but once I figured THAT out, I love love it! I have short term memory loss and have regular stickynotes around my house. This app makes note taking easy. And puts them at easy access to ur homepage, or desktop! Only thing I wish it had, is after u hit the 'X' to delete one, is a confirm delete pop up. I lost a couple notes while learning app. A+++

Kameron Robinson

OMG-far and away the most functional post it app I never would have thought to put so many great futures together in one note app. I can make several notes then dock them individually meaning I don't have to toggle through them. They are easy to reopen. The docked notes are available on every page. When the notes are not active you can leave them up on your page and they become transparent or you can dock them. Docked widgets are unobtrusive. I can make notes ANY size. THANK YOU. My one regret is deleting a note because I misinterpreted the "x"

This app is already perfect as it is! Definitely the kind of app that I'm looking for. My setup: Floating stickies + Floating Toucher or Toucher Pro, for easier access to app. For those who complaining, if this app is not working the way you think it should, then this app is NOT for you. Instead of rating this app down, go find tons of other apps that is probably more suitable for you such as; Hovernote, float window notepad or PortalWindow. Bravo to developer for offering this app for free.

Joe G August 24, 2014

Very NICE app! I love this app, thank you for developing it! The stay on top ability allows for excellent note taking while still having source material in front of you, the ability to resize is crucial for practical function on the smaller screens of mobile phones, and the ability to minimize the notes to the left side of the display to an unobtrusive icon, then recall it to full size are EXCELLENT features for the user! You really thought about what was necessary in a note taking app for the Mobile user!!

chrispow011 April 5, 2014

Best for me Just trawled through dozens of sticky note apps, this one does it for me. As close as you can get to a genuine sticky note, meaning you can put it anywhere you like, Leave it smack bang in the middle of your homepage to annoy the hell out of you or flick to the left to minimise leaving a handy transparent pencil on your screen for a more gentle reminder there's a note for you to deal with. Ability to change font and bullet point button would get 5 from me. Thank you developer...

Erich Gubler July 19, 2014

Has some bugs, but extremely useful. I had no idea that this sort of thing was possible with Android, and I was overjoyed to have finally replaced my paper sticky notes with the convenience that this app provides. There's only two problems I've had so far on: 1. I cannot move the I-beam within the note. This makes things really, really hard to edit. 2. When closing and reopening a note that has more than one line, the I-beam is placed at the end of the first line - because of the first issue, I basically have to make a new note if I need to make an edit anywhere else. Android 2.2.2 Even so, I give this a 5/5, because of what this app allows me to do. Thank you!

frank james thomas September 12, 2013

good idea I started using straight away but the note was in my way (cldnt find how to minimize it-no options settings to look into etc) so clicked on the cross and just lost the note-for good? aren't they saved, stored somewhere where one could just flick through past notes, maybe use them again? Can't they be minimised to a small line (the note is still bigish , bigger than standart app icons and gets in the way:/ maybe they could be activates by a double click so that one can still get to open the app behind it?

Noelana S August 23, 2014

Handy! I love how simple they are to use and swipe out of the way. One simple drag back to the screen and I can edit again. A must have app in my opinion especially for quick reminders or taking notes while on a phone call!

Les Uys September 11, 2013

Awesome I like the way that the notification to "save and close all stickies" is in the pull down notification but does have an icon in the top bar. That's great for all us OCD's that need a "clean" desktop! You should highlight this function in the pop-up help screen, since I only found it while reading the app reviews.

Alisa Cerney October 15, 2014

Great! But needs improvements. Great functionality! Simple, but does the job! Quick & easy way to jot down a note and keep it posted to the homepage! Could use more personalized settings--option not to disaply note over apps Instead of just docking it ; more colors ; option to make rectangular notes instead of just squares.

RejiBee October 2, 2016

Great App It is what it says- floating sticker. Love the fact it goes opaque so you can see the apps behind, also can minimise if needed but still have floating icon so you don't forget your notes/reminder. So simple. No fuss app.

Gerry Strohl June 25, 2015

Where Have My Stickies Gone? [On Droid Turbo running v.4.4.4] I like the simplicity of the concept and bare bone features of this app but after a few hours (to days) created stickies disappear. Not sure under what circumstances this occurs but its happened to every sticky I've created. I will uninstall and try another sticky note app. Would be happy to try a new version when it comes out.

Aubrey Sims March 18, 2017

Deleting app :( I love the concept of this app but I couldn't watch videos that were texted to me. It have me a notice that I had to switch off the feature it needed to float over my screen or other apps. I clicked the notice and it brought me to a screen to switch it off and I did thinking I could switch it back on once done watching the video. I know I am unable to get back to that screen no matter where I look or what I search for and I cannot get my saved stickies to pop up when I click On The app. Afraid I have to uninstall and lose my notes :(

Pramudhana Saputra October 28, 2015

Cant work on my phone Hey my phone is xiaomi rednote 2, my phone cant add any notes whether Widgets there. In my previous phone (samsung galaxy new young 2), your program work so amazingly, so I decided to install this app for my redmi note 2. Please help me, thanks

Eleanor Untitled May 16, 2015

Just what I was looking for I really wanted something exactly like this. With other apps you can't put down important stuff because then you have to remember to open the app to see what you have to remember. This is what I have been looking for the whole time. Thanks. Just to let you know someone else has taken this app, not changed the smallest detail and is passing it off as his own app. The persons name is faizinuinsk. Hope that helped.

Ian Teetsel April 23, 2015

Just what I had in mind Windows comes with a sticky note app that you can use to store information, much like a sticky note. This app... Blows that one out of the water. Aside from a little bit of getting used to, this is the perfect app for making yourself a little reminder right on your phone. 6/5 stars!

Dakota Hain August 31, 2016

Screw this app... At first I wrote the review below. That was before it deleted my notes even though I had saved them a number of times before. So, f*#k you... Just like desktop stickies. Very useful. Can even minimize to the side. Needs voice integration though... So, 4 stars

Avinash S Belavadi August 15, 2015

Just like the paper sticky notes This app is as simple as using the paper sticky notes. Write, stick and throw when done. The note can be minimized and stays in the corner visible as an alert icon... The app I really was looking for. I dont need any backup as my notes are not very important and just need it for some time.

Dylan Nailling June 12, 2015

Amazing Best sticky app. The only thing I would add is a feauture to "stick" the note on something and go away then it be there when you come back rather than the notes always present or unattached to something. Not sure if this is something possible, but the app is great nonetheless.

Brennan Driggers July 5, 2013

Love it! Great app! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Over went thru at least a half dozen "notes" apps and all were too involved for my needs. This app is simple and easy. I work as a courier and I'm dispatched pick up addresses via sms. I can easily copy text from sms to stickie note and the info I need is is always right there floating in my screen. Swipe the note to the left and it minimizes. 5 stars!

Vishnu Prasad March 31, 2016

So handy Really helpful and super cool. I totally love this little app.I have tried many other apps, but nothing is equal to this. It's so helpful for me, use it as a remainder for my simple tasks. Thanks a lot for this amazing app.

Tim Baverstock October 17, 2014

Very good! I love being able to copy and paste, and the floating. I'd like a persistent notification if there are no notes present, but it's easy enough to leave a note up - maybe auto-create a note so there's always at least one. Scrolling while editing could be better. I know long press starts moving the note, but I'd like somehow to select bits of the text, for fuller cut and paste.

Yasemin Nielsen September 9, 2013

Hmmm Very nice that the notes are transparent. But what's the point of having the ability to make the note box bigger, if the text still is tiny? Big big shame :-( plz enable to choose textsize.

Hellan Hunter December 10, 2013

Very bad application! Crashes my phone I was trying to use it but it always crashed while moving the notes! Please fix! Furtmore it totally drained my battery after time. I'm using now BortherMe Sticky note, which is easier to use and it also helps to be reminded of things! I don't forget anymore.

Felix Quan October 13, 2013

acceptable but could b better Lacks select all and cut. It is sometimes hard to select either all or single. The x button is too close, needs a bit more space when selecting txt instd of closing app. Sometimes when minimizing, will show up in the task switching area which makes it annoying.

November 16, 2014

Ability to Open multiple notes with a single pencil Salaam Dev. Love your app. I use it on a daily basis, but the cluster of pencils on my screen doesn't look very good. I'd like to be able to open multiple notes by clicking on a single pencil. that would make my screen look more tidy. Think about it.

Behind TheWall October 5, 2014

always in front :( good: in other note apps, you can see what it says without opening it (like this one), but to change what it says you have to open it. here, you just click it and the keyboard shows bad: that it's always in front. i use my phone for purposes other than notes, so having them float in front everything else breaks it

CHER T. February 1, 2015

Uninstalled If you miss a word or anything in your note, you can't just tap your cursor to that spot in your note to add it in, but you have to erase/back space all the way to that spot in your note to add it in THEN RETYPE your whole note again! Not cool. Also it floats over all your icons on all your screens...Plz fix, tyvm.

Antony Roshan November 16, 2016

Just what I needed! Once I write a note, I would simply forget about them. This was a major flaw in other note based apps. But with this, it just seems to make life lot easier to deal with because the note is right there in front of you! Thank you developer!

MANDAR PEDNEKAR August 1, 2014

50:50 It does have all the functions, a sticky note should contain, but it turns out to be messy, once it is created. Also, it doesn't have a scroller besides it follows us every time we try to make a move. It does get transparent but it doesn't stay stuck at one place. Apart, it's good!

Bill Brekke April 14, 2016

Wow This must be the widget that was in the subconscious of android designers when they created widgets. Now I have a place to paste phone numbers or whatever while using another app. Take notes while In a call with the default sticky. Very cool.

M.Magdalena CM. August 31, 2015

Finally!!! I used to actually stick notes on the back of my phone, cuz no app did what I needed. Finally I can have notes in handy, or open while I have a website open too where I need info and just write on the note AT THE SAME TIME I'm looking at the info from my phone... I love this.

Gladys Bediako November 2, 2014

Really great This is the kind of sticky note app I've been looking for, for a very long time. My only request is to make it so that it asks if you're sure you want to delete the note because, of course, I've already accidentally deleted a note. Other than that, I really love this app!

Christopher Briody December 14, 2014

I love the fact that there are sticky notes that are resizable and editable right on the home screen. But I don't understand why I would ever want to have these notes overlaid on any app that I have open regardless of how transparent it is. They should remain on the home screen, not be persistent regardless of what is displayed on the screen.

Nina Abulucion April 5, 2015

Bravo!!! Its amazing, the exact sticky note I need as a busy office Mom. It reminds me right on my screen and I can slide my finger to hide it. Its amazing. But I hope it will ask me if I want to delete it. And I hope it has a copy paste deature too. I' ll give it a 5 once with improvement. I notice most have the same feedback.

南愚文科刺度恵守 June 6, 2014

Oppo N1 This one, the ONLY practical and usable sticky app out there. That "pencil icon" dock mode that it has is so convenient and can be used as a clip board. Other stickies are bloatware, ugly and occupy taskbar notification space or are widgets..
