1. Currently, a user can navigate from one note to the next by clicking once on the subject column on the left. It might be preferable to be able to navigate the notes with the arrow up and down keys.
2. Keyboard shortcuts would be useful. Command-n for New Note, Command-d to Delete Note, Command-i for Info, Command-p to Print, etc.
3. Make it possible to import images, and hypertext, so that a simple click will bring you to external sites. (You can do this with Stickies; why not Memoblock?) Not strictly necessary, true, but it really makes competing applications like VooDoo Pad shine.
4. MemoBlock can sync ipod messages - a great feature - but cannot sync messages with the iPod Touch.

Many, many thanks to the developer. I checked the application thoroughly and everything is working perfectly. Now it is possible to back up to the same location, the application remembers the path to the backup location, font changes are saved, if you select text you can get information about it and the developer sorted the problem of speed, as I've suggested to him below, by making the application store each note in a separate file in the user library. However, there is still room for improvements:
1. Doesn't support copy/paste style.
2. No spell check.
3. Doesn't use the system colour palettes.
4. Can't make links.
5. Can't make lists (numbered or bulleted).

Other important features which are lacking are: copy/paste style, spell check, use of the the system font panel and colour palettes, make link, lists (numbered or bulleted).
Finally, I would like to thank the developer for this product which I've been using for more than a year.

I always coming back to this app, after trying other similar apps
Too bad the main/GUI icon and overall interface hasn't been optimized for Leopard...
Really looking forward for next release
I would be very grateful if the developer would add "spelling" to the Edit menu.

If I'm still using it in two months, I'll donate. :)
PS. I only wish it would organize the notes automatically and not only by hand, but well... from all the note app that I've used so far, this one and xPad are the only ones that I've really enjoyed.

Works perfectly and is very helpful. Now all my stickies are concentrated in one "box" on the desktop instead of being scattered over it.
Many thanks to the developer.

The developer should check the application thoroughly before releasing it.

If you change the font, even to the default font you chose in Preferences, it would not be saved to the next session and this happened to me when the next session was an hour later. Worse of all - when I launched the application the day after I upgraded it, it didn't load the notes even though they were to be found in ~/Library/Preferences/Memoblock Files. I reinstalled the previous version. iMac Intel 10.5.6

Rather than posting back reports on forums which I seldom read, please report them to me first in future to allow quicker resolution.

1. If you "Create Backup of Note Data" in a particular location and you want to back up again the next time you use the application, you will not be able to back up to the same location. An alert would pop up saying: "A backup already exists in this location, please choose an alternative location". Obviously, it should ask you whether you want to replace it with the new backup. The same problem occurs when you "Export As ...".
2. Doesn't remember the path to the backup file but instead always takes you to HD/Documents.
3. Doesn't support copy/paste style.
4. No spell check.
5. Doesn't use the system font panel - if you select text you cannot get any information about it.
6. Doesn't use the system colour palettes.
7. Can't make links.
8. Can't make lists (numbered or bulleted).
9. It is the slowest OSX application I've ever encountered.
I hope very much the developer would make this application perfect since I love it!!!
