abcNotes - App Review



I can hear you saying 'oh no, not another notes App'.

This one is different in that it is really a sticky notes App with lots of options and synchronisation.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
If you start off by pressing the + to create your first note, you will see how easy it is to use.

Set the colour, font, and an excellent slider to set the font size. There is then a slight glitch in that you need to go to Settings/Notifications/abcNotes and allow notifications.

Your notes can be scaled and rotated (using 2 fingers), moved by dragging, you can even have usable check boxes.

The real power of this App is that by allowing iCloud synchronisation, you can see your notes across multiple devices. Note contents can also be easily be e-mailed.

Cost
The version tested is the free 'lite' version; there is a fuller offering at $3.

Indispensability
If you use this App, it will rapidly become your de facto sticky notes App.

Dependability
The App is simple to use and simply works.

Security
There isn't the option of a password, which would be a good addition.

ACIDS Test Rating:

If you use(d) Post-It notes, you must have this App.
