CNET Editors' review
Hott Notes offers users an opportunity to keep themselves organized with a virtual pad of yellow sticky notes. This program offers a simple set of tools to create notes, but does not live up to all its promised potential.
This freeware pops up instantly and allows users to quickly sketch down a note and paste it to their desktop. This is much like any note-making program on the market. However, what makes Hott Notes enjoyable is how it handles its added features. Where many programs are cluttered and sometimes confusing, four simple tabs allow users to customize their notes. Note writers can adjust the size and font of their note and even center the text with one tab. Another allows the user to change the color of the note to anything imaginable. A third tab, and the most unique option, allows users to adjust opacity, making the note as transparent as they choose. Finally, a simple alarm can be set to alert the user of a note.
While we have no complaints about this program's ease of use and performance, Hott Notes did make a claim that users could also draw pictures. After testing we did not find any option to do so. Even without the option of doodling, users looking for an extremely simple, free notes program will appreciate what Hott Notes has to offer.
