User reviews

I like this app and the functionality. However, it wants access to "read and change site data". When I change chrome settings to disable this it still works fine. So, I have some privacy concerns here wondering why this extension feels the need to read my page when all it is doing is acting as acting as a text box.

Works perfectly, thank you.

It's a bit wide for my liking as I used to use, "Sticky Notes" before it became bloatware screaming at us to go Premium. At least with Sticky Notes, I could easily change the size to one of 4 preset sizes. I don't mind buying an extension if I like it. But too many authors are going the subscription route and have us rent or lease their extensions (Sticky Notes). This is a simple notepad and depending where it is pinned determines how much of my page it will block. But off hand if it was at least half the width it is currently, I'd be happier. I know I can make it wider, but that isn't the issue. The current 400+ pixel width is a bit much and giving us the ability to resize below that width would be appreciated.
