Review:

As a college student with a tech obsession, I found it quite imperative to have a sticky notes program. The walls in my dorm did not allow for easy adhesion, and my calendar (which I barely looked at) could only fit so much text into it.

I use free program called hott notes 4, so excuse any bias as I compare the two of them.

The first thing I would like to call attention to is the attachments property. I am a pretty lazy person, so if I have a paper due at a certain time and I cannot find the document, a simple click to the note with my work attached to it would be quite an ideal circumstance.

The second thing is the ability to send the note via Outlook, or PDA. "Hey, party at 3." "meeting changed to 7." rather than trudging through texts, calls and emails, you could simply send a message with important details to those of which the info pertains to.

Finally, the angle of the note - the so called "3D aesthetics - allows your desktop to look nice if you are one that dislikes clutter. You are, however, not able to keep the same appearance when you change the size of the note (only in 2D mode).

Conclusion:

If 3 features (which aren't really necessary) are worth ~$20 in comparison to something free which stick to the basics, then that's your choice. I would personally NOT recommend it.
