User reviews
The animated pencil is incredibly annoying and serves no purpose, taking up a huge portion of the screen. There is no way to turn it off. Useless feature that distracts, makes the browser look like a child's cartoon, and adds no functionality. Uninstalled.

He triat aquesta app per substituir FastNote. Aquesta és igual de simple de fer servir, però amb més utilitats

simple and easy to use, but would love to see the option of being able to move the note window vs it being 'stuck' to the upper right corner of my screen! ;( Would also like to see the option to change font as well as font size. Still haven't found a legitimate replacement for Quick-Notes unfortunately! That was the 'Chef's Kiss' when it came to note app for Chrome! :)
