Post-it® for Negative User Reviews
✓ Decent, but....Needs to be able to sync ‘favourites’, these seem to be ‘per device’. Though notes sync via iCloud, they need to be clicked on to download. I’d want them to sync and just appear in full, downloaded on other device..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Pointless!Post it note? Where?.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Widget doesn’t workThe app is great but there is no widget on iOS 17..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Just stops workingWhen it does work it’s great. However the app constantly freezes and then will refuse to start up. Unusable really..Version: 5.2.8
✓ Useful appIts useful for keeping track of postit notes, though i do wish there would be more features such as reminders or a way to create mindmaps with the notes..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Please fix Board names & also widgetI like that you added iCloud support! I stopped using the app shortly after I originally downloaded when I saw there was no iCloud support to sync between iPhone and iPad. However, two other things. First, please change there widget to disappear when I don’t have any post-it! notes favorited (kind of like the iOS app “Deliveries”. In that app, if you have a delivery, the app will show up as a widget. If you, don’t have a delivery, the widget disappears. Second, please make it more simple when it comes to “board” names. I thought I made a “board” name but then it turned out to be a combo name of 2 different post-it notes. Plus there are individual note names too. Please just have “note” names and “board” names & thats it..Version: 3.1
✓ My notesWhen you retired brainstorm it got rid of all the notes and now I have nothing.Version: 5.2.4
✓ Concept vs. RealityI love the idea of this app as we use post-it notes a lot in my job when we are brainstorming ideas and we used to just have to write everything down afterward... I used the app in a workshop last week and in principle things went well. I could save a board for 'pros' and a board for 'things to explore' with the concepts we were working on... Problem I have now is the pictures taken within the app are so blurry we can't read the notes. We threw them out afterward and have no information now (my stupidity on that one). So the concept is good, the reality was far less than expected..Version: 1.0
✓ DisappointingI have to be honest, I have held on to this app for months in the hopes that one day the simple process of transferring the random post it notes that r constantly scattered about my house to a cohesive, neat little package of post Its that I can easily glance over on my iPhone home screen....... but I can now say with certainty: it’s them, not me. I don’t get it! I just want to stick little virtual post its on my home screen like I do with REAL post its, so I am forced to be reminded of said reminders, yet still see the screen and not have them fall off everywhere like the tangible counterparts do! If that is possible with this app, than it is far more complex than it needs to be. I have spent many dollars on post it notes over my career, and I dare say I expected more from their makers in this app..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Somewhat confusing to useThe app does what it is supposed to do, once you figure out how to use it. Has some nice features..Version: 5.2.1
✓ This is cool, but….I am having to use it with other tools to make it function well. I wish that I could put individual stickies on my desktop widget without having to star them. Also, why don’t stars carry from device to device? And why only favorites in the widget? I’d like to select a whole group. And the export to Miro function is amazing, BUT, I want it to transport my handwriting and drawings rather than auto converting to text. I’m a visual person so seeing the handwriting is what helps me with organizing and synthesizing. Essentially, I want images of my stickies to go to Miro but instead I have to export each individually as an image and then upload them to Miro. That’s so much work. Thanks for making this great tool. I look forward to updates!.Version: 5.2.6
✓ Squashes postits!The app is good in many ways buy it only supports square post-its. When it processes your rectangular post-its the contents gets squashed into a square format. After a couple of years they still don't support other sizes. This makes the app unusable for me. In addition, with no desktop program of web interface the boards aren't collaborative. You can only share with a static PDF which you can email. So the app is a great idea, but these two issues make it unusable for me and my team. I look forward to this being a mature product..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Poorly designed faffThe whole idea of post-it notes is centred on its simplicity but not in this app which is more like a dogs dinner. - There is no setting so you can’t set font size. So, if you manage to create a note, a word takes up the whole of the screen! The font type can be changed only randomly. - adding a new note is ridiculously complicated Instead of a simple process of adding post-it note and then grouping later if you wanted, you have to group first I am afraid to say it’s rubbish..Version: 5.2.7
✓ WorthlessYou get what you pay for. Nowt!.Version: 5.2
✓ Great idea! Needs more features and SupportThe idea is great! It is pretty easy to use. It looks good but... It is great that you can back up to iCloud but my iCloud is full so I have to turn it off. There is only an FAQ, no Support. I’m getting an error message on my board but have no where to go to get help. The app has crashed and lost days of post-its. There is an error that my archive is corrupt. I’ve created a new archive and that is corrupt. Again no place to get help. I can export a board for another user but how do you import a board? FAQ doesn’t say. Lots of potential. If you’re serious about this app, but some resources in to this: give us more features and solid support!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Regularly lose edits to notesFairly regularly I’ll update a note just to find later on that the note has reverted back to the old note and I have lost whatever it was I wrote down. I’ve tried both having the app sync with iCloud and just running locally, but it happens either way. So frustrating because the app is otherwise great, but that’s a deal breaker..Version: 5.2.6
✓ Removed everythingThe app was great until it deleted all my boards and notes for no reason..Version: 5.2.7
✓ Editors Choice...pls explain?I now can see that the editor has nothing to do with choosing the editors choice apps, either that or Apple needs a new editor, this is this most pointless and useless app I have seen so far.Version: 1.0
✓ What the?An app to take photos of post-it notes... Handy?.Version: 1.0
✓ Poor photo qualityThe quality of the photos captured is too poor, the appearance was not up to scratch. I would be more likely to use this app if I could create a board from scratch on my ipad..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Huh?I find myself questioning "Editor's Choice" more and more nowadays. Edit: I'm skeptical about the sudden spate of glowing reviews. Seriously, how many people use post-it notes in the manner these reviews are suggesting?.Version: 1.0
✓ French versionNo french version.Version: 5.2.5
✓ Why can’t I pin a note on iOS Home Screen or Lock Screen?Why can’t I simply and easily pin a note on my iPhone iOS Home Screen or Lock Screen?.Version: 5.2.7
✓ Great app but only for square post itsI really like this app but I need it for the large rectangular post its too. I hope this is in your roadmap?.Version: 1.3.2
✓ IBooks and Apple iWork IntegrationWould be nice if you could insert a Post-it on a books page you are reading/studying in iBooks. Also the ability to use with pages, numbers etc would be helpful..Version: 2.3
✓ No collaboration?Where is the ability to share boards gone?.Version: 5.2.5
✓ WrongOkay I’m just going back home and I will never forget my love I hope so too good night and love how I love this girl so I don’t think so I’m sorry for you being mad about you lol lol I’m glad you’re not too tired I just don’t have a lot to say I don’t think so I’m just saying I’m not too good to hear about that lol I just woke you so much and I’m just tired and I love how I love this girl so I don’t think I have anything to do anymore I don’t have anything I love and love love mommy and I miss her too love love and I miss your time too long love mommy bye love love miss love love and hope you’re so cool too love love and hope you’re so proud of you so I mean thank love.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Widget border with updateLoved this app until the border got added to the widget add and now it doesn’t really look like a post it anymore? Hopefully we get an update to fix soon.Version: 5.2.8
✓ No way to recover lost/deleted notes. App is not what I expectedMy most problematic finding is that there isn’t a way (that I can find) to recover lost or deleted notes/boards. I deleted an empty “group” today and the whole board deleted- and I didn’t even know they were linked. They appeared to be separate boards. Now I can’t find a way to recover the lost board. iCloud backup is ON in the app and permissions allowed in iPhone settings. They did not sync as they should. I am also disappointed as there are very limited ways to arrange boards. Drag and drop only allows notes to be lined up side by side or above and below. Honestly it’s way to basic and limited to really be a helpful app. Disappointed..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Some things I would changeI have not been able to figure out how to change the thickness of the pencil when writing on a page. I also wish it could be put on the homepage of the device. Not big things but important to me.OG KoolKat.Version: 5.2.1
✓ PointlessSeriously? U need an app to take photos of ur post-it notes? Trust me, u don't need an app for that. Just use ur camera. Stupid app.Version: 1.0
✓ HmmmWould rate it a five if you had the option to post it on your Home Screen ! As a reminder that you have thing to do list.Version: 5.2.7
✓ UselessI use post-it notes mostly to remind myself to do something... There is no provision to post a note to my screen ir remind myself of anything! Waste of time.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Needs to recognised rectangular post-it sheetsUntil the app can recognise and work with non square post-it sheets, I can only give it 3 stars. In all the workshops I run, we always use rectangular sheets which the app then squeezes into a square often making the text hard to read..Version: 2.3.4
✓ UselessCan someone please explain what this app is actually for? It's confusing and useless. A waste of time..Version: 1.0
✓ What happened in the last update?!This app used to be fantastic, and the implementation of the widget was perfect. However, in the last update, the virtual ‘post-it’ note is now inside an outer box, rather than filling tge entire widget. It previously looked great, and almost as if you literally had a note on the screen, and it distinguished itself from other apps. It now looks amateurish, and like every other app. I honestly can’t believe you guys thought this would look better?! Please, for the love of god, good design and common sense, at least give us the option of having the ‘old’ widget in the settings?….Version: 5.2.8
✓ Almost Great, Barely AwfulTLDR; Tons of upside but app won’t even open now. The initial look, feel, and maneuverability of this app is pretty great. The whiteboard style with different groups is a very good idea. I’ll first point out the biggest issue; I now cant get the app to open at all. - iOS 17.4 - iPhone 15 Plus - Phone is 1 month old - Phone is up-to-date - Uninstalled and reinstalled app Why go through all of that troubleshooting, you might ask? Well the app worked fine at first, and so I begin populating notes. The app efficiency, smooth workflow, and smooth workflow resulted in adding several notes and spending a decent amount of time doing so. However, I noticed the app would appear to freeze up - but then I could close the app and reopen to get functionality back. Eventually we get to where we are now; I can’t open the app at all, and the amount of notes that I add is significant enough for this to be something of an inconvenience. Please patch your app..Version: 5.2.9
✓ AwfulMakes no sense, not well thought out..Version: 1.3.3
✓ UI not very intuitiveI gave this a go as thought it may offer a useful Kanban style organisation tool which could be “synched” across my other devices. Unfortunately the “synching” using the iCloud board was not dependable and the UI was different across devices. This became frustrating (eg trying to delete boards was straightforward on iPhone but I was unable to do on MBP or iMac. So sadly gave up and deleted app..Version: 5.1
✓ Needs white pen colourNeeds white pen colour for the dark colour post-its..Version: 5.2.1
✓ AnnoyingSaid I needed a iPhone update to use it, updated my phone, worked once and now just doesn’t load and quits out before opening. Disappointing.Version: 5.2.7
✓ Glitches and very difficultPost it should be simple to use. It glitches blank screens lost post its. Maybe use a video tutorial if not user friendly but it shouldn't be that complicated. Really disappointed. 🙁.Version: 1.2.4
✓ PointlessSo 3M has found a way to take pictures using an iPhone. Good on them..Version: 1.0
✓ Not fit for my purposeNeed to pin reminders on my desktop - that’s the whole point as far as I’m concerned. So although looks good it unfortunately is not useful for me..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Auto SaveDoes not automatically save memos.Version: 5.1
✓ Deleted my notesIt’s great until it deletes your organized thoughts and notes 🤷🏽♀️.Version: 4.3
✓ AwfulTerrible in every way..Version: 1.0
✓ PointlessPretty much an app to let you see several photos at once inside Post-It notes. And the reviews here are kind of suspicious. Half of them are UX designers (other people with jobs that use Post-It notes think it's awful too) and most of them ask what the bad reviews are about. The only good thing (yes, there is ONE good thing about this app, I bet you're surprised there's so many!) is that these Post-It notes won't fall off, unless you can somehow do that too, I deleted the app before I deleted a note..Version: 1.0
✓ Why?It's just a camera? Seriously?.Version: 1.0
✓ PointlessNot quite what I was expecting. Pretty pointless. The aim of the app is to use it to take pictures of post it notes..Version: 1.0
✓ Really?Extremely limited functionality - too much to ask we can draw on-screen and make post its? Absolutely not worthy of editors choice..Version: 1.0
✓ Can’t figure out how to make this usefulI wanted this app to be the answer, something that would let me post/view “sticky notes” DIRECTLY on my iPad’s Home Screen. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. If there are instructions, I cannot find them. (Alluding to a “widget” is not an instruction.) One should not even NEED instructions, really—it should be plain as day how to do this. Just create a freaking board option called desktop. Duh. From the reviews I can see I’m not the only person who can’t figure this out. You reference a widget, but I don’t see such a feature. This is infinitely frustrating. Honestly. You are 3M. Your app should reflect the high quality associated with your market-leading brand. I’m going to try some other apps to see if there is one that might actually work..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Update has caused crashingWas integrating this as a tool in my workplace but the update means that it now won’t create new boards and crashes constantly. Would be useful to be able to input from photos taken on the camera roll too if you don’t have access to the app directly.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Not syncingI like the app but it stopped syncing with my Mac. And the widget on my Mac doesn’t not update either..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Feature requestEnjoying the app. Very good at enhancing text written on notes. Since I use this for capturing Agile boards (Kanban) would great if I could draw lines on the canvas. If it could capture the lines drawn on the physical board would be even better..Version: 2.0
✓ WorthlessCan’t see the point of this pointless app. Lots of apps do a much better job. A post it is a marker or a reminder. These don’t work at all this way. These are being employed as a pale imitation of storyboarding, brainstorming, imagination style software. I especially love how the samples display the post it notes at a jaunty angle, a feature not available in this release. Lame..Version: 3.0.3
✓ It was good until……one day, all my notes suddenly and inexplicably disappeared … again. This happened to me twice. The first time, they reappeared after what felt like a couple of hours. However, this time I still don’t see them even after 24 hours. I may be wrong to assume they vanished into the void never to return (and I hope I am), but regardless of whether they return, this is a most unpleasant surprise that has motivated me to look for another more consistent sticky notes app. I gave this app two stars because it’s top-notch when it doesn’t surprise me like that..Version: 5.2.1
✓ This is the worst app I’ve ever downloaded EVERI’d give it 0 stars if I could. I thought it might be a great way to save notes on my phone but it’s a nightmare. The first note I tried to make the font was huge and I guess you have to adjust it with your fingers to make it smaller. I also wanted the text to go from right to left and use the entire note but no it would only let me type until the middle then start a new line. F this stupid app. Make it normal like you are a normal person writing a post it note for you or someone else and make it so the default is how normal people are taught to write since they learn how in 1st grade for g’ds sake..Version: 5.2.6
✓ Can't create from scratchThis app won't allow you to create a new board from scratch. You have to start one by first taking a photo of Post-It brand notes..Version: 1.2
✓ Lost everything in the updateThis used to be a great app but since the update but I’ve lost all my notes.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Too complicatedToo hard to understand.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Ok but could be betterLove it but be even better if you could place single notes on the home screen on a iPad.Version: 5.1
✓ Needs 2 FeaturesAlthough I like the animation of the scrunched post-it as it gets deleted, there are two features that irritate me and prevent me giving this app 5 stars: 1) After spending hours arranging my post-its using the free form layout option, too often I have found myself accidentally losing my arrangement if I accidentally combine a board or accidentally click a different layout option. This is extremely frustrating!! 2) Why is there no option to draw/write directly on the board itself. In many design teams we often put post-its on whiteboards and write/draw on the board itself to detail meaningful groupings and relationships..Version: 3.0
✓ UselessEven the real post it in real life is becoming somewhat useless as well..Version: 1.0
✓ Just updated to 2.3 and it lost boards!!!I love this app. Everyone loves it when I use this app and make post it note collecting look so easy. But today I went in to reference one of my boards and look at the photos and it asked me to update. It then started "converting all boards" which I wasn't aware it was going to do and in the process it can't "convert" two of my boards. Of course one of them is the one I needed today, right now. But it just says "2 boards not yet converted. Tap to retry." But I keep trying and nothing. It gives me a retry or a discard option. How do I get them back!!??.Version: 2.3
✓ I don’t like the interfaceI want to move a note to another board god alone knows if this is possible.Version: 5.2.1
✓ One missing featurePost-it is a great app and looks like it could be very useful to me both personally and in business. However, one glaring defect is that if you use multiple devices and cloud sync, the favorite status of a note is not sync'd between the devices. To me that is the potential value of the app - write a note on your iphone, favorite it so it shows on the home page widget, then it will also show on the home page widget of the ipad. Because you don't sync the favorite status this does not happen. You have to go to the ipad and separately favorite it there also. That defeats the purpose of making a sticky note that will automatically persist as a reminder on all your devices. Fix that and I'm all in!.Version: 5.2
✓ My boards do not openSince doing a recent update I can no longer access my boards! Really annoying as I have thrown away all physical post-it notes!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Ugly black borderAn ugly black border has appeared on the widget since the last update, so a nice app has to go. I can’t look at that on my Home Screen, sorry..Version: 5.2.8
