“Nothing beats a whiteboard and sticky-notes for capturing lots of loose information and seeing the big picture. Stickyboard takes that flexibility and adds the convenience and power of your iPad. Don’t worry about losing notes after a meeting again. It’s much easier to carry around, and a lot friendlier for the environment. Use any color coding system you like. Effortlessly move and group your notes – unlike paper sticky notes, they don’t fall off after too may moves.”
