Intro:
Digital Desktop Stickies
Introduction to the app, what does it do, history, etc
I needed about 7 snips of info to do stuff at work. This program cut my paper use by X7 since 5 of the snips were thrown out an hour later.
Who is this app designed for:
Small screen shots
List here who the app would be intended to be used by including what it can help you do better or do easier, etc.
Capturing snips of info from any program so you can reuse it and remember it.
The Good
Pretty sturdy, I haven't seen it crash once. Fairly intuitive - once the settings are set, click the stickies tray icon and paste something
Insert your praises of the app here including the features you find useful.
Fairly robust - It handles 30 stickies easily, though finally it begins to creak if you overload it.
The needs improvement section
I want to make a Second Instance so that I can batch stickies. Right now they're all lumped so it starts to clutter the screen.
What is wrong with the app in its current state (the version being reviewed). Include bugs that might deter would-be users, any annoyances, etc.
Well, I think it's best used with a second program like Snippy that custom draws areas to snip. By itself Stickies sorta sits there.
Why I think you should use this product
You can title then save snips into graphic files which can be stored later. It also has a Sticky Manager so that topic you thought was solved last week can come back from the dead.
Exactly that, explain why you think the product is useful and why the average user should use it. Remember, this is subjective to the reviewer and other opinions will be displayed regarding your opinion after the test is complete.
Universal Snips of Anything - Pictures are worth 1000 words and 20 pages of printouts.
How does it compare to similar apps
Unclear, I vaguely tested Win7's version, I liked this one better.
Self-explanatory. How does it compare to other apps in this category.
Seemed a bit more developed. MS's version felt lazy.
Conclusions
Def. Top 10 mini App of my career. I'm 20% faster because I grab info and hold on to it knowing 4 people will want it, rather than wading through printout junk.
A brief summary of the app being reviewed. Any sort of rating you wish to give the app and a general view of the app.
8/10
