Note stickers are one of the most useful things ever created. We use them to remind ourselves or others of future chores, ideas that are worth remembering, etc. The problem people might have when using note stickers is that the working space can become rather messy and finding a previous note can become time consuming. This can be easily fixed with the help of virtual note stickers programs. Shock Sticker is a free virtual note sticker application. This program helps you easily create note stickers, memos and can also be used as a scheduler. It also has some other additional functions such as: alarm, password, and hiding features.

Good things

One of the first things I enjoyed were the available customization options. You can quickly choose the preferred color theme for every note/memo and you can also define your own colors. The program also has transparency features and every note can be easily resized, minimized or hidden away from the desktop.

Shock Sticker is intuitive and easy to work with. It doesn’t eat up memory space so you can create as many note stickers as you like without having to worry about your computer slowing down.

Also, you can send a memo to somebody from your network if that person is using the same application. If you accidentally deleted a note/memo you can quickly recover it by opening the Recycler Manager.

Searching messages that are currently opened is very quick and you can easily find what you are looking for. Searches are done also in the locked notes but you are asked for a password if you want to view their content. Reminders are very easy to set. You can schedule a note/memo to appear on you desktop at the desired time and you can also place a password so that the only one able to read the note/memo is you or the people with whom you have shared your password.

Things that could be improved

The installer looks very old and this makes a bad impression about the program itself for the newcomers. Also, the first time you open the program the note stickers look rather unpolished. However, this is easily fixable with the help of theme colors and transparency but it would have been great if this was done by default.

The sounds that the notes/memos make are annoying to hear. It's good that you can easily turn them off from the Option window. The last problem I found was related to the recovery process: you have the option to recover accidentally deleted files but unfortunately this option doesn’t work. An easy fix to this is to copy the message from the preview window.

Conclusion

This program is very useful and very practical. It’s pretty cool and it’s sticky (I always wanted to say this without sounding kinky, thanks for that too). It has all the things that a virtual note sticker should have and it goes even further then your average needs. I like it and as an advice, don’t think of this as just another program because it may surprise you. If you need or want a virtual note sticker, give Shock Sticker a try.
