About Attention Notes
A unique home screen note Widget App! When you place a Note on your screen with this app the screen note automatically changes colors periodically! Your screen notes and reminders will always grab your attention.
"I use Attention Grabber Note Widget because it actually helps me pay attention to the note and reminds me of its message." - Jessica Cam Wong (makeuseof.com)
"It works Everything else on homescreen gets ignored, this always gets my attention! " - Play Store User Review
How it works:
Do you put screen note widgets on your home screen to remind you of something? After a while the screen note disappears from your awareness because your brain gets use to the color and position of the screen note. This is called Brain Adaptation. You actually stop seeing the note causing the message you are trying to keep in mind to become lost in the background.
Attention Notes solves this problem by randomly changing the text and background colors of your screen notes. The changing colors of the note will grab your attention causing to take notice of it.
Features:
- 420 different text and background color combinations
- 12 different widget sizes: 1x1, 2x1, 2x2, 3x1, 3x2, 3x4, 4x1, 4x2, 4x4, 5x5, 6x5, and resizable
- Ability to cycle between multiple screen notes in the same screen widget! Four notes are allowed in the Ad-Support version. Unlimited notes are allowed with an in-app purchase
- 11 different time durations between changes: 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, - 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, and randomly between 6 and 24 hours
- Does not use any long running services. Uses the Android Alarm Manager. Thus, will not affect battery life.
- No nosy or intrusive permissions

Seems like a good idea but I cannot activate a note. IE, In Use option doesn't select, just goes into edit mode. Edit: Still can't get a note to appear, trying to show a widget but doesn't work. UPDATE: I'm on a Samsung Galaxy phone now and still can't figure out how to make my note appear on the screen. Not an intuitive interface.

I use it to list all my errands for the week & any quotes, inspiration, tips that I come across. Nice that it's always on like a wallpaper on my Android but its size is adjustable so that it doesn't become obtrusive. I find this a unique feature among this kind of memo pad software. Overall, I recommend everyone to download this app. It will organize your life and you'll never forget anything any more regarding errands & grocery lists.

Same issue as Terri R' s review stated, on longer lists the keypad blocks content you're trying to type so that you cant see what you're typing. Other than that it's a fantastic widget app.

Not impressed at the moment with the new change where typing pad covers up what I am writing so I can't see it... Very irritating and hard to use.

Crashes every time I try to upgrade to Attention Notes Plus. Also, how can I keep my color settings and save them as something other than "default", and also use different color settings for different widgets? Thanks in advance for the help.

Super useful and aesthetic app. I've tried having note widgets on my home screen before, but I do adapt to their looks after awhile and basically ignore them. With the option of unlimited (almost) colors and for those colors to change periodically, I can't ignore my notes now! Thanks again, Blue Logo! Have upgraded to Pro because I think it's worth it!

This app is complete genius. Based off of brain adaption - pure science. I definitely notice myself not focusing on my to do lists on other apps because of brain adaption. I even adapt to notifications lol. This app is genius and beautiful. It helps me stay on track because I don't forget about my notes! Thank you so much for making this app. I wanted to upgrade as well, but it crashes. Help. :)

I have to be honest.. I have NOT tried it yet. (Will delete and rerate if I need to once trying), but I just want to say to the creator of the app bravo on the idea. I am EXCITED to try this out and think that this is an awesome idea. You are very right about how the brain just becomes adapted and ignores the note after awhile. Especially for people with ADHD etc. Thanks!
