## Review summary

Users appreciate the app for its simplicity, customization features, and effective home screen reminders. The transparent widget feature is particularly praised. However, recurring complaints include intrusive ads during editing, problems with note updates not reflecting on widgets, limited text styling options, and some UI issues like scrolling effects and toolbar visibility. Despite these cons, many find the app reliable and worth using, especially if upgrading to the pro version to remove ads.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads appear when editing widgets, which annoys users
- Some users experience issues with the widget not updating or displaying edited notes properly
- Limited text styling options; no support for partial bold, italics, or multiple font types/colors within a note
- Scrolling effect in empty or short notes interferes with home screen swiping
- Toolbar becomes invisible when text color is white and background is transparent
