Software Reviews and Criticism

  Closest to perfect!

  This app is amazing! Its so easy to use and I love the options you have. Some stickies could be open and left on the actual screen or all of them could be on the side and collapsed if preferred. With the other app Tab Notes created, I also love that I can make whatever stickies I want. I have my favorite characters as my stickies which I love because my laptop feels even more personalized. This stickies app is the best so far for me! The only downside for me is I have the stickies set up to stay on one screen. But whenever I expand my windows to be on their own, sometimes the stickies follow it. I always want my stickies to stay on the default/desktop windows, but even as I quit the tab notes and use them again, the stickies won't stay on the default windows page. I wish I could have all my windows open and expanded, and my stickies would stay on the default page for better organization.

  Nearly perfect stickies alternative and works very well. One of my favorite programs!

  I’ve been looking (and looking and looking) for a “stickies” like app that did not operate like a Mack truck. And I just hate the look of the built in Stickies app that comes with PC. One key requirement for me is that it MUST allow creation of a new note from the menu bar. Check! Tab Notes gets the job done and pretty nicely at that. It took some time to get used to the the snapping of notes to the window edge, but now I do like it. Notes are all easily accessible, but out of the way at the same time. Personally, I keep them on a second monitor to avoid distractions on my mail screen. I did disable the cutesy characters right away though. :) They drove me nuts. UPDATE: Still loving this after a couple of months. And I recently discovered that Tab Notes can be easily previewed and browsed using Finder. They may also be edited with TextEdit. Awesome! NOTE: This app is unfortunately NOT compatible with “Popup Window” by the same developer. I do hope the developer makes these compatible in the near future. There’s some obscure way to “import” it into TabNotes but I cannot get any details on that. I also wish the developer would support customers better. Sometimes I try to contact the developer and never get a response back.

  LOVE IT!!!!!!

  I love this app and rely on it for so many things. Be sure to explore the Tab Note preferences. There are lots of things that you can tailor to exactly what you want and need. I set mine so I have to hold my cursor on my screen edge for 2 seconds before a new note comes up, changed my colors, etc. If there's something annoying about the default set, it's totally cusomtizable! I use this app constantly, all day every day in both my job and my personal life. It's so much better than my old sticy notes apps!

  You’ll be surprised at how much this app can improve your efficiency

  I was skeptical on spending $17 on a sticky app, but it was well worth the money — made my life so much easier and convenient. I have multiple research projects going on at the same time, so i wrote all the to-do’s and whatnots by projects, kept on checking them on whichever app I am (I love the preview feature God bless you), and this certainly made everything soooooo accessible. However, after using this for quite a while, I found my problems: 1. I want to toggle between the notes on short cuts 2. I want to be able to rename the notes on short cuts 3. App keeps crashing now and then (although it hasnt been a major problem because not one thing written on the note is lost) 4. Notes keep on moving a little bit — I lined them on the bottommost part of my screen, and the notes rearrange themselves horizontally Aside from these, I cant find a thing to complain about this app. One of the best apps I’ve ever bought.
