My desk is covered in Post-Its. There are Post-Its covering every inch of space on the body of my iMac. If my MacBook stays still long enough it gathers Post-Its like moss. Both my iMac and MacBook screens are buried in Stickies at least three layers deep. I keep a pad of Post-Its next to my bed. They are stuck on my bedroom mirror and in my bathroom. On my fishtank. I'd put them on my dog if they'd stick. There are forests in the North West that I have consumed and turned into meaningless notes.

Stick It for the iPhone completes my life. When I use Notes for my reminders I find they get lost in the scroll list. When I use Voice Memos I cringe at the sound of my voice. Why doesn't anyone like to hear their voice played back to them? Stick It is a very well designed app that, you guessed it, brings the Post-It/Stickies functionality to your iPhone.

The Tapfactory guys have really thought this one through and made a very simple app that is extremely customizable. When I try to think of a feature that I wish it had that it didn't, I can't think of one. The look of this app is fully customizable. There are 17 styles of notes to choose from, bubbles, torn paper, signs, etc. There is a pretty good font book too. There are more than 25 backgrounds to post the notes on, I've got the corrugated steel up, I love the industrial look. The app even gives you the option to use a pic from your Camera Roll, or shot a new pic from within the app. If you leave the app, Stick It will pick right back up where you left off when you get back to it, a handy feature, especially for 2G and 3G owners.

Stick It is a Utility, but is also a Productivity tool. If you think of your iPhone as a 'Mini-Mini-Mini Mac" this is an app that will fulfill that concept. I think the folks over there in Cupertino could learn a trick or two from the TapFactory, I'd like to see all of these features on my OS-X desktop. This app is an obvious one for iPhone owners to go for, it fills a hole that Apple left in the iPhone's functionality. And as always with a good cheap app, WTF- it's only a buck.
