On Android, my messages would be trapped like some kind of disheartened wild animal.There is and third-party apps that can make the Android/Mac message sync possible, but it adds another step to a process that is already seamless with iMessage.

And who wants another step? I just want iMessage.Note to self: Maybe this is how people felt leaving behind Blackberry Messenger for an iPhone 10 years ago?

WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are two popular apps that work on iOS and Android.Josh Miller/CNETThe absence of iMessage on Android has left a wild west-like opportunity for other services and apps that work on both iOS and Android. Google has several: (which will replace GChat), and (which is more like Apple's FaceTime).But then there's, which has. Both are available on iOS and Android.

And while iMessage isn't the only reason I stay - the camera, iOS, iCloud backup and tech support from the Apple Store - it's definitely one of the most compelling.So if iMessage doesn't hop ship to Android, then I probably won't either. That means no S8 or Pixel for me. I will likely wait for the next iPhone and hope that it's even more badass than the Galaxy S8.Both Apple and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Apple execs tell why the MacBook Pro was over four years in the making, and why we should care.: CNET chronicles tech's role in providing new kinds of accessibility.

I observe:sticky notes font has changed (too large), default line spacing is 1.5 (too wide) and previous formatting controls (eg ctl + shift + to increase font size) can crash sticky notes.Other controls (eg Ctl + L) to insert bullets don't work.And other controls (eg Ctl + 1/2/5) to change line spacing do work by are not saved when stick notes restarts.Quite a few steps backward for sticky notes, a potentially useful tool but clearly not recognised as such by MS.Does anyone recognise these symptoms and/or know fixes? Hi 2DavidMartin,The 'Sticky notes' on Windows 10.1607 has been a metro style app while it is a 'desktop app' in previous version.I have tested ' ctl+ shift + '. It could workwell.You could try the following powershellcommand line to register that app to have a test. Turn off the sticky notes(task manager).Add-AppxPackage-register 'C:Program FilesWindowsAppsMicrosoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes1.1.4.0x648wekyb3d8bbweAppxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentModeAs CyberDefendTeamsuggested, we could try the submit 'Feedback' about this app.Best regardsPlease remember to mark the replies as an answers if they help andunmark them if they provide no help.If you have feedback for TechNet Subscriber Support, contact. Donovan, thanks for the feedback.I use Sticky Notes as a permanent 'to-do' list on my desktop.

So, I really care for this little app.A few impressions from the new version:. Left and right margins are too big. Sticky Notes should not occupy my desktop with empty space. Keep it compact. Default font size is too big for my standard laptop. Resizing the fonts with the keyboard shortcut crashes the app. As soon as I activate insights, everything becomes super laggy, I cannot even type at normal speed.

My laptop is a ThinkPad T450, surely not an old machine.As a long-time user of this app, one thing I would like to see:. automatic backup on OneDrive, and automatic sync between different machines.

When I turn on my desktop PC at home and login with my account, I'd like to have the option to see the same sticky notes I had at work.Thanks for all your efforts and keep it up!EDIT: just downloaded the update, thanks for fixing the resize shortcuts and the other kb shortcuts.Guido. I'll throw in my $.02 as well. I'm all for making the code better for touch/pen as well, but that's not the entire world (even if an up-trending one), and you cannot throw out the use-case of your currently installed base.I would like the ability to define preferred default font, font-size, and line-spacing for Sticky Notes. This would seem to be a requirement as you don't know enough about the end-user's equipment, eyesight, and preferences to set a one-size-fits-allsetting.I would further suggest this be three-dots-menu item so that it would be the same on all devices, and would be consistent with Edge, for example.

Yes, I have seen this. And now that I have applied the update I can make text smaller or larger (CTRL + SHIFT + ), but I still cannot created bulleted or numbered lists, and now the notes are huge and I can't make themsmaller. One step forward and one step backward.

Ridiculous!This is driving me crazy, I preferred the original Sticky Notes, regardless of whether or not you could easily use a tablet pen to write. I am now struggling because I am in College and I have been using Sticky Notes for assignments so I know what I need tocomplete and with them being huge I do not have enough room for all my classes.

There is no other way for me to have my assignments front and center when I turn on my computer so I am panicking because I now have no way to remember all the things I need todo. I really wish Microsoft would fix this so I don't FAIL this semester.:(.
