"Can't uninstall the program; now it's frozen"

February 10, 2013  |   By EKovar

Version: Efficient Sticky Notes 3.10 Build 327

Pros

It works: you can put a lot of notes on your desktop, even fade them out so that they barely show. I had work reminders, personal reminders, phone numbers I was going to need rather than have to look them up, notes about things I needed to do to help my aging mother, such as shopping lists . . . The usage went on and on. That is exactly what I wanted and needed, enough so that I went to their website to see what other products they have.

Cons

- Choosing the color and font is difficult. And when dealing with a note already written changing the color of a note changes the font. You need to go back to the note and redo them.
- It has frozen
- I can't uninstall it - at least I haven't found a way to yet.
- See above: before it froze I took a look at their website to see what other products they might have. Although not particularly sensitive there is no way that I'd support these people.

Summary

It works exactly as described (although changing the color of notes and fonts is more difficult than it should be) and as such I would have rated it at about four stars. That would drop to three or two because you can't install it - at least I haven't found a way yet. Meanwhile it has frozen which further dropped the rating.

But what really tanked the rating wasn't the software, it was the developer; their view of what men and women do is from the '50. The mildest is the description of another product "Impress your girl!" by actually remembering a date. Clearly men can't do this without help. Descriptions of products for women - the main change is that they're pink - includes reminders to pick up dry cleaning, play dates, and other 'housewife' chores. Which is fine. But I was really looking at their products because I'm working on a number of complicated professional projects
