CNET Editors' review
TurboNote+ aims to eliminate pesky yellow sticky notes from piling up on your desk. This simple program provides a service that numerous other downloads do, but manages to create a unique and superior system with an intuitive layout.
This program differentiates itself from other note downloads with its ease of use. A new yellow note appears by simply clicking and dragging the tray icon onto your desktop. While this sounds like a simple move, many other programs make creating new notes far too complicated. TurboNote+ keeps the more complex options a simple right click away. An expansive menu gives you options for printing notes, locking the text down, prioritizing visibility, finding specific text, and even e-mailing a note. Another area where TurboNote+ nudges out the competition is with its alarm system; simple, basic and effective, it makes reminding yourself a breeze. Users also can adjust the size, text display, color, and even the transparency of notes.
TurboNote+ functions well for those who simply want to make a quick note and get a reminder, and the process is nearly as simple as scratching a message on a physical sticky note. TurboNote+ is a great download and we highly recommend it for those trying to stay organized.
Publisher's Description
From South Pacific Information Services:
Sticky notes manages to-do lists, reminders, schedules, and instant messaging. You can 'stick' notes to your screen and send them to others on your network or via e-mail. Use them for reminders, messages, to-do lists, Web and e-mail addresses. You can change note colours and sizes, set one-off or regular alarms, print them, lock them, and keep your screen uncluttered by hiding them. Notes are saved when you turn your computer off and are automatically backed up.
What's new in this version: Version 6.6 has fixed problem with slow Calendar saving (leading to apparent hang) on some WinXP computers. Now runs on Vista and later Operating Systems even if Data Execution Protection is enabled.

"Gets worse with every update"
Version: TurboNote+ 6.5
Pros
Used to be a great application. Simple to use, cheap and bug free. It replaced the whole office sticky note issue and has some great features like the inbuilt calculator and the facility to send notes from one pc to another and even email the notes.
Cons
Buggy. Poor customer service.
Summary
I used TurboNote for the best part of 10 years, encouraging everyone at work to use it instead of the old paper notes. Not everyone got on with it but for those that did it was almost impossible to think of working without it. Unfortunately later versions of the product have been buggy and customer service at TurboNote is really poor so I'd recommend looking further for another product. Pity!

"Not too shabby"
Version: TurboNote+ 5.4
Pros
The program worked smoothly and worked well.
Cons
30 bucks is a little too much to spend. The notes are kind of ugly.

"Great program!"
Version: TurboNote+ 5.3
Summary
I've tried a handful of free sticky-notes programs, but this little freeware is my favorite! Keyboard shortcuts and many display options definitely help out (4 different note colors and font formatting are especially wonderful). One thing that's missing: ability to make notes transparent. However, I still prefer this over "similarly priced" sticky-note apps.
