Thank you for your patience, Gautam. I appreciate independent developers who reach out to potential customers for candid opinions—it is a skill that’s frequently lost in the big commercial development shops.

“If Notezilla fits their needs, they buy it. If not, they don’t.”
Or sometimes, they buy because they trust your very prominent marketing speak. As said in my PS, there’s a difference between exotic “locations” and standard ones, and the latter should be included by the term “anywhere”, or in this case, “anything”.
On a technical level, this would very probably mean diving into the particular programs, and do particular things there, and which is another reason for users not being entitled to take such claims verbally - but then, I did not. Standard software should be accessible for notes if you pay 30$ for this, when numerous competitors don’t charge anything.
I don’t know how you do it, and you will not tell us, but it seems evident ADS tweaking would only be possible for notes on whole files, so there would have to be done some identification work of the db records of such target software in order to then find a way to glue notes to these inner elements.
For Outlook at least, there are several such notes tools that do it, for Excel there is at least one. And technically, it should be possible to do it for Access or UR/EN/SQLite.
And no, “EN will remember anything for you” or similar is quite different from “Our stickies glue to anything” or similar, the former assertion being identifiable as a synonym for “EN will find it for you, you will not have to remember every thing’s place in your head anymore”, whilst the inability to glue notes to standard pieces of today’s pc workflow makes the latter one just one of all those lies overpriced goods are sold with, it’s a classic. And no, nobody would ask Wifi software “connecting you everywhere to your data” to work in the Australian desert, without Wifi connection, but everybody would indeed think it worked in any standard Wifi spot and not in a just some, and this is what your “argumentation” tries to blurr. We ain’t all idiots.

I don’t feel “cheated” by Notezilla. It’s quality software, and the developer (Gautam) gets points for his polite, helpful reply to needlessly rude comments.

I have used Notezilla off and on over the years. During the time I’m familiar with it the developer has added new features and enhanced functioning. Making a broadside statement about what one would or wouldn’t pay for it based on a product trial from the past is not fair.
My own use of Notezilla is for very quick note-taking, for keeping information at top of mind, or for assisting me when I’m working in another program.
The other day, for example, I was a guest on a Twitter chat (#ABIChat) which focuses on acquired (traumatic) brain injury. My topic was ABI and PTSD. Prior to the chat I had one note pinned next to my Twitter client with some factual points I knew I’d probably use, and which I wanted to ensure were accurate. Dropping this information into the chat was a simple copy/paste.
I had one other note pinned alongside the first one listing information related to a couple of books. As it turned out I only used information from one book. If I hadn’t been glued to the television watching the antics of the Ford brothers in Toronto I probably would have pre-written two or three tweets on a third pinned note for use at the beginning of the chat.
Notezilla is a non-obtrusive, easy to use, note taker and holder of information. It doesn’t replace my use of EverNote, MyInfo, or WhizFolders. It fills a specific niche more easily and rapidly than any of the other programs I use.
At the earliest stage of writing I use Notezilla because it’s very simple, non-distracting, and fast. Using it this way enables me to work through writer’s block.
The use of memoboards, each one devoted to a particular topic, can help to consolidate information related to a current project or issue, cleanly and efficiently. Again, this is quite helpful if you want to isolate a subset of information in a way which offers an efficient customize view of it.
Sometimes I make a memoboard layout of facts & figures I want to remember, returning to this particular information repeatedly so that I commit it to memory.
I bought the new version when if was recently offered on Bits, and consider it excellenet value.
